Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 62:10

With now familiar figures for preparing a highway (cf. Isaiah 7:3; Isaiah 11:16; Isaiah 19:23; Isaiah 33:8; Isaiah 35:8; Isaiah 36:2; Isaiah 49:11; Isaiah 59:7), Isaiah called on God’s people to plan for the fulfillment of the promised redemption, return to the land, and Gentile worship. They should not just wait passively, but should take steps to express and to bolster their faith in these promises. They should march through the gates of Babylon and return to their homeland. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 62:10-12

The need for faith 62:10-12Having learned of the mission of the Anointed One to bring salvation to Israel, and having received promises of benefits that would accompany His salvation, the Israelites needed to believe these promises-in spite of impending exile in Babylon. This pericope concludes the section of Isaiah dealing with the revelation of future glory (chs. 60-62; cf. Isaiah 40:1-11; Isaiah 52:1-12). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 62:11

By proclaiming to the end of the earth that Yahweh would save the Israelites, the Lord was guaranteeing that He would do it. This was not just a private promise to Israel but one that the world could anticipate. Here the prophet personified Salvation as coming with the Anointed One. When the Anointed One came, Salvation would come with Him. Salvation would receive a reward from Yahweh for saving His people, as well as compensation, namely: His redeemed people themselves. Consequently everyone... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 62:12

Then the nations would call the Israelites "the holy people" (in standing and state; cf. Exodus 19:6; Deuteronomy 7:6), "those whom Yahweh had redeemed" (physically and spiritually), and "sought out." They would refer to Jerusalem as "the city that the Lord had not forsaken." In short, Yahweh would restore His people’s relationship with Himself. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 62:10

(10) Go through . . .—Here, probably, we have the cry of the prophet himself (but, possibly, also that of the Servant of Jehovah) addressed to the heralds, who are to go forth and summon the exiles to return to the restored city. On the special phrases, see Notes on Isaiah 40:3; Isaiah 57:14.Lift up a standard for the people.—Literally, peoples, the plural indicating that the prophet thinks of the Gentile nations as escorting Israel. It follows from this that the command itself is addressed,... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 62:11

(11) The Lord hath proclaimed . . .—A partial fulfilment of the words is found in the decree of Cyrus (Ezra 1:1-2); but they have also a wider range, and take in all the events by which history becomes as the voice of God, proclaiming His will.The end of the world has been restricted by some commentators to the western regions of the Mediterranean, but without sufficient reason.Behold, his reward is with him.—Repeated from Isaiah 40:10, where see Notes. read more

(Comp. the opposite, “Zion, which no man seeketh after,” in Jeremiah 30:17.)A city not forsaken.—With special reference to the name “Azubah” in Isaiah 62:4.

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 62:1-12

The Reign of Solomon Isaiah 62:1 I. Solomon reigned over a great empire. The Jews were never masters of so wide an extent of land before or after as in his days. The king himself began his reign in a spirit which promised well for the coming time. He asked God neither for long life nor for riches, nor for victory over his enemies;; but for a wise and understanding heart to discern between good and bad, that he might be able to do true justice among so great a people; and immediately the wisdom... read more
