‏ Isaiah 62:12

The LORD Comes As Savior

These verses describe the fulfillment of the promises for Israel. The voice of the LORD will sound throughout the earth to announce that salvation for Zion has come (Isa 62:11). Salvation here is a Person. He is coming! ‘Salvation’ is in Hebrew yasha, a word that comes back in the name Jesus. Jesus means ‘the LORD is salvation’. When He comes, He also comes with a reward for those who have been faithful to Him (Rev 22:12).

The nations will recognize Israel as “the holy people, the redeemed of the LORD” (Isa 62:12). The city that was not sought by anyone, but despised, will be called “Sought out, a city not forsaken”. Many will go to that city to see her glory and beauty. They will see the wonders of God’s grace and power revealed in her. The city will be full of people and the streets will be filled with happy playing boys and girls (Zec 8:4-5).
