10 Go through , go through the gates , Clear the way for the people ; Build up, build up the highway , Remove the stones , lift up a standard over the peoples . 11 Behold , the Lord has proclaimed to the end of the earth , Say to the daughter of Zion , "Lo , your salvation comes ; Behold His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him." 12 And they will call them, " The holy people , The redeemed of the Lord "; And you will be called , "Sought out, a city not forsaken ."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Isaiah 62:10-12
Commentary on Isaiah 62:10-12
(Read Isaiah 62:10-12)
Way shall be made for Christ's salvation; all difficulties shall be removed. He brings a reward of comfort and peace with him; but a work of humiliation and reformation before him; and they shall be called, The holy people, and, The redeemed of the Lord. Holiness puts honour and beauty upon any place or person, makes them admired, beloved, and sought after. Many events may have been part fulfilments of this, as earnests of more glorious times yet to come. The close connexion between the blessedness of the Jews and of the Gentiles, runs through the Scriptures. The Lord Jesus will complete his work, and he never will forsake one whom he has redeemed and sanctified.
