Isaiah 62

In Isaiah's day Jerusalem was the center of the Jewish world. Though the northern kingdom had been destroyed by Assyria God's people remained in the southern kingdom of Judah. But the hearts of many of the people and most of the rulers had grown cold towards God. Because of their unfaithfulness to him, God had whittled Jerusalem's political influence to virtually nothing. To this former powerhouse Isaiah had been proclaiming the coming of God's judgment. I'm sure the leaders of Judah were tired of hearing Isaiah speak the same message of God impending punishment. In this chapter it almost sounds like Isaiah has changed his message. Instead it is the message of what will come AFTER Jerusalem and her leaders receive their punishment. God is never caught be surprise. He has a plan for every rebellion we can throw his way; a remedy for all of our sins.
It took me about 3 minutes to read this chapter.
