Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 62:1-12

THE COMING OF THE DELIVERER AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ZION ( Isaiah 59:15 to Isaiah 62:12 ). Isaiah wanted them to know that God sees their desperate condition and determines to act. He looks for a man, someone to stand in the gap, but there is none. So He Himself acts. He will step in on behalf of His people. He will bring them a Deliverer, a Redeemer, One Who is clothed in righteousness and salvation, and also One Who is clothed in vengeance and zealousness for God. He is concerned with... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 62:1-5

Isaiah 62:1-Deuteronomy : . The prophet will not rest in his mission ( cf. Isaiah 61:1) till Zion’ s triumph is resplendent, her brilliance dazzling kings and nations. Zion shall be as a beautiful crown which Yahweh takes in His hand to adorn Himself. Now she may well be named “ Forsaken,” her land, “ Deserted” ; but then Yahweh, Israel’ s husband, shall restore her to His favour, and her name shall be “ My Delight,” that of the land, “ Spouse.” With a young husband’ s joy in his young bride... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 62:5

As a young man marrieth a virgin: this is delivered as a demonstration of what was said in the close of the 4th verse; and it is said young and virgin to note their suitableness; not old and young, but such as may delight each in other, signifying that mutual content that would be in all parties; thus it was at the first preaching of the gospel, Acts 2:41-47. So shall thy sons marry thee. Whereas it is improbable that the Spirit of God should carry on so sacred a prophecy by a similitude so... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 62:1-6

Isaiah 62:1-6 The speaker of these words is the personal Messiah. Notice the remarkable parallelism in the expressions selected as the text: "I will not hold My peace;" the watchmen "shall never hold their peace." And His command to them is literally, "Ye that remind Jehovah no rest (or silence) to you! and give not rest to Him." So that we have here Christ, the Church, and God all represented as unceasingly occupied in the one great work of establishing Zion as the centre of light,... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Isaiah 62:5

DISCOURSE: 1009GOD’S DELIGHT IN HIS PEOPLEIsaiah 62:5. As a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee [Note: In treating this subject, the utmost possible delicacy must be observed.].AMONGST those who have paid attention to the sacred Oracles, no doubt exists but that very glorious days are near at hand, even those days when “the knowledge of the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters cover the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 62:1-12

Chapter 62In chapter 62, God continues to speak of the restoration of Israel.For Zion's sake [that is, Jerusalem] will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth ( Isaiah 62:1 ).God said, "I'm not going to rest until I have accomplished it."And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 62:1-12

Isaiah 62:1 . For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace. The Redeemer speaks by his prophet; the zeal of his Father’s house absorbed his soul. He imparted his Spirit to the apostles; they could not be deterred from declaring the resurrection and the glory of their Lord. The same Spirit accompanied St. Paul, in all his labours and travels throughout the Roman world. He said in word and deed, I count not my life dear to me, so that I might testify the gospel of the grace of God, and finish my... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 62:3-5

Isaiah 62:3-5Thou shalt also be a crown of gloryZion a crown of glory God’s handIt is only through figurative representations that prophecy here sees what Zion will be in the future; she becomes a crown of adornment, a tiara (the head-dress of the high priest, Exodus 33:4; Zechariah 3:5; and of the King, Ezekiel 21:26) of royal dignity in the hand of Jehovah her God.It is a leading feature in the picture that Jehovah holds the crown in His hand. Zion is not the ancient crown which the Eternal... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 62:5

Isaiah 62:5For as a young man marrieth a virginFervid devotion to a causeIt is difficult to see how any real parallel can exist between an intellectual interest or reasoned sense of duty to a public cause or institution, although prescribing exertion and even sacrifice, and the spontaneous, glowing, fervid devotion of a young man to his chosen bride.Say you so? Then let me say that as yet you know not some salient features of human nature. As a matter of fact abstractions, as we call them, do... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Isaiah 62:5

Isa 62:5 For [as] a young man marrieth a virgin, [so] shall thy sons marry thee: and [as] the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, [so] shall thy God rejoice over thee. Ver. 5. For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shalt thy sons marry thee. ] This translation (saith one who preferreth the Vulgate, ‘The young man shall dwell with the virgin’), marreth the sense, since it is improper to say of sons that they shall marry their mother. But I say, that the Church never flourisheth more, than... read more
