Oct 10 – Beulah - Isaiah 62:1-4
Isaiah decides to speak on behalf of the Jewish people and for Jerusalem. For her sake he will not be quiet and must let his views to be known. On behalf of the Lord the community will shine like the dawn and the salvation is shows shall blaze like a burning torch. Don’t you just love the use of imagery and language here.
The nations will see her vindication and kings will see her glory. The mouth of the Lord will declare a new name for her. They will be crown with a crown of splendor from the and of the Lord. A royal diadem in the hand of the Lord. The people of God show forth His praise and glory. No longer will they be desolate or called a waste place. You will be called Hephzibah, or my delight is in her. Also be called Beulah which means married to the Lord. The Lord will delight in you and the land will be married to the land.
