Isaiah 62:10

Isaiah 62:10. Go through, &c.— The chorus, having promised in the preceding verses great things to the church, here removes an objection which might arise to the completion of that promise, and teaches, that although there might seem, from the state of the world, many and great impediments to this hope, yet that God would take care by his providence to have them removed; at the same time exhorting the people of the church, that, as was their duty, they should diligently apply themselves to promote the execution of this gracious design; that, all offences and impediments being removed, a free access should be granted to the Gentiles flowing into the bosom of the church. The expressions are metaphorical, taken from the preparations for a solemn entrance into a city. See chap. Isa 26:2 Isa 57:14 Isa 49:22 and Psalms 118:19. Vitringa supposes that this passage refers to some great and future reformation in the church.
