Context of Isaiah 62:9

7Do not give the Lord a chance to rest, until he has made Jerusalem strong again. Continue to pray until he makes it a famous city that the whole world will praise. 8The Lord makes a strong promise, and he has the power to make it happen. He says: ‘I will never again take away your grain, and give it to your enemies for food. Foreign soldiers will not drink your wine that you have worked very hard to make. Instead, the people who pick the grain at harvest time are the people who will eat it. And they will praise the Lord for it. The people who pick the grapes will drink the wine. They will drink it in the yards of my temple.’ 10Pass through the gates! Pass through the gates! Prepare the way for the people to travel on. Build up the road! Make it strong! Remove the stones! Lift up a flag, so that the nations can see the way to go. 11Look! The Lord has this message for the whole earth: ‘Say to the people of Zion, “Look! Your Saviour is coming! Look again! He is bringing his gifts with him. He brings the prize that he has won.” ’

It is a sign that God is coming to a people in mercy, when he pours out a spirit of prayer upon them. See how uncertain our creature-comforts are. See also God's mercy in giving plenty, and peace to enjoy it. Let us delight in attending the courts of the Lord, that…Read the comment
