How preachers through history handled this text
9 public-domain excerpts on Isaiah 62, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“LXII A prayer of the watchmen for the church in confidence of God's gracious designs and promises to it, ver. 1-12. 1. Zion's sake - Zion and Jerusalem are both put for the church, Heb. xii, 22. My peace - These seem to be the words of the prophet strongly resolving, notwithstanding all difficulties, to solicit God for the church's happiness, and constantly excite to the belief of it by his preaching, though it were long before it came, for Isaiah lived near two hundred years before this was accomplished. …”
