Isaiah 66:10

"Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad for her; rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn over her; that ye may suck and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. For thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and ye shall suck thereof; ye shall be borne upon the side, and shall be dandled upon the knees. As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. And ye shall see it, and you r heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of Jehovah shall be known toward his servants; and he will have indignation against his enemies."

Kidner called this "an exuberant family scene,"[18] describing the joys and consolations of the "Jerusalem that is above, which is our mother" (Galatians 4:26).

"Ye shall be borne upon the side ..." (Isaiah 66:12). This is a reference to the custom of mothers to carry their little ones upon the hip. All of the scenes described here are intimate and tender references to motherhood. "Direct fellowship with God and full involvement in His church"[19] are depicted here. Certainly, the old Jerusalem is not in this place at all.
