Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 62:5

62:5 For [as] a young man marrieth a virgin, [so] shall thy sons {g} marry thee: and [as] the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, [so] shall thy God rejoice over thee.(g) As they confess one faith and religion with you, they are in the same bond of marriage with you, and they are called the children of the Church, as Christ makes her plentiful to bring forth children to him. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 62:1-12

MEETING OF THE AGES We are drawing to the end of the present, and the opening of the Millennial age. The prophet’s eye rests on the time when Israel is back in her land, the majority still unconverted to Christ and worshiping in a restored temple. There is a faithful remnant waiting for Him, though enduring the persecution of the false christ. This persecution may often be felt at the hands of their own brethren after the flesh. These facts must be assumed in the interpretation of these... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 62:4-5

Hephzi-bah, signifies delight; and Beulah means union and marriage. The joy is, that the soul is a marriageable creature, and that the Lord Jesus, in his assumption of our nature, hath married us, and made us one with himself. Sweetest of all thoughts, my soul! thy Maker is thine Husband: the Lord of hosts is his name; Isaiah 54:5 . Well might the Apostle speak of it as a great mystery, Ephesians 5:32 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 62:1-5

1-5 The Son of God here assures his church of his unfailing love, and his pleading for her under all trails and difficulties. She shall be called by a new name, a pleasant name, such as she was never called by before. The state of true religion in the world, before the preaching of the gospel, no man seemed to have any real concern for. God, by his grace, has wrought that in his church, which makes her his delight. Let us thence learn motives to holiness. If the Lord rejoices over us, we should... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 62:1-12

Zion the Bride of Jehovah. The prophecy concerning the glory of Zion's perfection here reaches the highest point of exaltation: the congregation of the redeemed as the bride and spouse of the Lord. v. 1. For Zion's sake will I not hold My peace, so the Lord calls out through His prophet, in His eagerness to picture the glory which would pertain to Zion in the new dispensation, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, He will not feel satisfied, He will not abate in His zeal, until the... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 62:1-12

the Land of Beulah Isaiah 62:1-12 The Intercessor , Isaiah 62:1-4 . Messiah is speaking here. Throughout the ages, He ever lives to make intercession. He asks that His Church may be one, that the heathen may be given Him for His inheritance, and that Israel may be restored. It is the cry of the unresting Savior. When Jesus pleads for thee, poor soul, thou canst not be desolate and forsaken. God loves, though all hate; God delights, though all abhor; God remains, though all forsake. ... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 62:1-12

Having thus dealt with the material prosperity, and with the spiritual realization, the prophet now describes in greater detail the vocational fulfilment. Speaking as in the midst of circumstances of incompleteness, he declares his desire, and avows his determination neither to hold his peace nor to rest until the people of God fulfil His ideal, so that He is vindicated among the nations. There is no uncertainty in his heart, for he declares his conviction that the people shall yet be called... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 62:1-5

The Anointed One Announcing Blessing On Zion (Isaiah 62:1-5 ). The Anointed One promises His continued activity on behalf of God’s people in their association with Zion (see note on Isaiah 59:20) so that they may be a true witness to God and enjoy Yahweh’s favour. Here the idea of Zion (60) and the idea of the Anointed One (61) are combined. The Anointed One has come in order to establish Zion. Isaiah 62:1-2 ‘For Zion’s sake I will not hold my peace, And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest,... read more
