“For Zion’s sake 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
What is Zion? Where is Zion? It is often referred to as a “Holy Place” or “Heaven”. A place where God is. So this verse starts out with “For Zion’s sake”, so it must be pretty important. And then it goes on “for Jerusalem’s sake”, also important :).
“Isaiah prophesied in a time when Jerusalem was still a functioning city but was spiritually corrupt.” (Enduring Word Bible Commentary). Is this not America today? We are still functioning as a nation, but our nation has become “spiritually corrupt”.
But God promises that He will not rest until our “righteousness” returns and we shine brightly once again :). And nor should we rest until righteousness returns.
He has not forsaken us and He will not leave us. We will be Saved 🙂
Prepare, Pray & Be Ready!
