Isaiah 52 - The Servant of Jehovah

 

Zion is the high point of Jerusalem. It was King David’s favorite spot. Blessings are coming upon Jerusalem, and it will not be an unattractive city no more. The way that will happen is through redemption of the Lord Jesus. When He comes, He will redeem our body for a new one. The land will become new.  All of God’s creation will experience redemption.

 

Today the land of Jerusalem is filled with Arab’s and various religions. The day will come when religion will be the thing of the past. The sin of slavery and lowly civilization will be abolished. God will take all away from those who took Jerusalem captive. He will take it away and restore it, making a new Jerusalem.

 

When Christ reigns again, His people will know Him to be the one and only true Christ. When He came to earth before, no one knew Him or trusted Him to be who He said He was. They rejected Him. During the millennium all will know him and believe, those who don’t have already been cast aside.

 

Now in Jerusalem there stands a wailing wall. There is no joyful song but wailing. The Jews are pounding their heads against the wall. In New Jerusalem there will break forth a joyful song and everyone will sing together. There will be no more weeping and wailing. Hard times will be over.

 

Jesus will exercise sound judgment, be cautious or discreet in conduct, sensible, not rash. Man, today does not act prudently but Jesus will reign with extreme prudence. In the new Jerusalem, every knee will bow to Jesus and every tongue will confess that Jesus is the Christ. All will come to understand what happened on that cross.  That God covered His body with darkness to cover up man’s morbid curiosity. All will be startled when they understand that Christ hung on that cross for each one of us. It will not be just commonplace knowledge but an astonishment of the truth.
