Isaiah 62

Isaiah was a Hebrew prophet who ministered to the kingdom of Judah in Jerusalem around the 8th century BC, warning of God's judgment for corruption and idolatry^[1] while also proclaiming hope for a future Messianic king and kingdom of God.

Comments
Interlinear Isaiah 62
We are to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness which is not like the way of Nimrod and his city-state which leads to confusion and degeneration. Israel by its nature and its practices of faith should demonstrate that way to the whole world.
V4 But Israel will not go the way of Destruction: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah(בָ֔הּ) "my delight" which is a name for Jerusalem^[2] which will follow the way of righteousness in peace in "spirit and truth", and thy land Beulah(בְּעוּלָ֑ה) marrying, dominion, covenant^[3] is with the LORD and not the gods of the world men create for themselves. It goes on to say "for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married(תִּבָּעֵֽל׃)"^[3] joined to the man and not merely a legal title.
V6 Many modern Christian preacher do not point out that the social welfare state that provides the daily bread of the people is a covetous practice because it is full of the Leaven like the Corban of the pharisees. They do not tell(Silent) the people that the dainties and benefits of those benefactors who are rulers are both a snare and a trap as both David and Paul told us.^[4] That welfare state by its covetous nature is the public religion Paul calls idolatry.^[1]
V7 Jerusalem is double Peace where we present truth in word and deed.
V8 is about every man having a right to your personal means of production which is your labor.
V9 "they that have gathered it shall eat it" is a principle of capitalism which is the scene set to find God's Kingdom. But with capitalism you must bring your source of morality and virtue which will include sacrifice if you are going to have community without becoming a city of blood. According to the perfect law of liberty that sacrifice must be a freewill offering, i.e. fervent charity, which is the antithesis of the force used by the Abimelechs and Nimrods of the world, who are benefactors who exercise authority.^[5]
V10 If you are to go through the gate or door of the kingdom, which would be Christ, you would also, be preparing the way for the people and not just for you. That way is cast up rather than down, an idea also repeated twice like the double peace of Jerusalem. The word sollu סֹ֣לּוּ repeated twice in the Hebrew text translated cast up means, "To lift up, to exalt, to cast up, to build a highway".
This preparing others and casting up will include the gathering out the stones(מֵאֶ֔בֶן mê’eḇen)^[6]. The word for stones^[6] appears hundreds of times but this form מֵאֶ֔בֶן Mem Alef Beit Nun only this once. A similar form is seen in Genesis 28 refiring to the stone^[7] under the head of Jacob during his dream.
V10 We also see go through ([[05674\|ibru עִבְר֤וּ) repeated twice. To go through the gate you must come as Christ did to serve others and set others free rather than free ourselves. This is why we gather.
V12 The city sought is not the city of blood but the opposite. The way to the kingdom is the way to the world but what changes is direction which requires repentance.
Questions
If the standard or banner of verse 10 to be raised is נֵ֖ס nês what does it have to do with the altar of Jehovahnissi which means The Lord is My Banner the call for us to "lift up a standard" which is a banner?
If from Melchizedek to Jesus who was the Christ followed the way of the righteousness of God, the Creator how does it differ from the Nimrods and Abimelech of the world?

True Zion

1 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(וִישׁוּעָתָ֖הּ) thereof as a lamp that burneth.

2 And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.

3 Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.

Not forsaken

4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah(בָ֔הּ)^[2], and thy land Beulah(בְּעוּלָ֑ה)^[3]: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married(תִּבָּעֵֽל׃)^[3].

5 For as a young man marrieth(יִבְעָל֖וּךְ)^[3] a virgin, so shall thy sons marry(יִבְעַ֤ל)^[3] thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride^[8], so shall thy God rejoice over thee.

Set Watchmen

6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace^[9] day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,

Finding Jerusalem

7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

8 The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured:

9 But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness.^[10]

Through the gate

10 Go through(עִבְרוּ֙), go through(עִבְר֤וּ) the gates(בַּשְּׁעָרִ֔ים)^[11]; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway;^[12] gather out the stones(מֵאֶ֔בֶן mê’eḇen)^[6]; lift up(הָרִ֥ימוּ hārîmū)^[13] a standard(נֵ֖ס nês)^[14] for the people.

The City of God

11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

Covetousness is idolatry
Colossians 3:5 "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:"

Ephesians 5:5 "For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God."

1 Corinthians 5:10 "Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."
- For it is written that the tables of dainties provided by rulers of the world are a snare because they cause the masses to bite one another through government systems of legal charity which are covetous practices which are a form of fornication or adultery where the people are devoured as merchandise, curse children and are "entangled again in the yoke of bondage" with the aid of the false religion of the whore who rides the beast.
