O Jerusalem, I have posted watchmen on your walls; they will pray to the LORD day and night for the fulfillment of his promises. Take no rest, all you who pray. Give the LORD no rest until he makes Jerusalem the object of praise throughout the earth. The LORD has sworn to Jerusalem by his own strength, I will never again hand you over to your enemies. Never again will foreign warriors come and take away your grain and wine. You raised it, and you will keep it, praising the LORD. Within the courtyards of the Temple, you yourselves will drink the wine that you have pressed. Isaiah Chapter 62 verses 6 to 9, NLT.
“Look! I am creating new heavens and a new earth, and no one will
even think about the old ones anymore. Be glad; rejoice forever in my
creation! And look! I will create Jerusalem as a place of happiness. Her people
will be a source of joy. I will rejoice over Jerusalem and delight in my
people. And the sound of weeping and crying will be heard in it no
more. “No longer will babies die when only a few days old. No longer will
adults die before they have lived a full life. No longer will people be
considered old at one hundred! Only the cursed will die that young! In
those days people will live in the houses they build and eat the fruit of their
own vineyards. Unlike the past, invaders will not take their houses and
confiscate their vineyards. For my people will live as long as trees, and my
chosen ones will have time to enjoy their hard-won gains. They will not work in
vain, and their children will not be doomed to misfortune. For they are people
blessed by the Lord, and their children, too, will be blessed. I will answer
them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their
needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers! The wolf and the lamb
will feed together. The lion will eat hay like a cow. But the snakes will eat
dust. In those days no one will be hurt or destroyed on my holy mountain. I,
the Lord, have spoken!” Isaiah Chapter 65 verses 17 to 25, NLT.
And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, promising never
again to desert them but only to do them good. I will put a desire into their
hearts to worship me, and they shall never leave me. I will rejoice to do them
good and will replant them in this land with great joy. Just as I have sent all
these terrors and evils upon them, so will I do all the good I have promised
them. Fields will again be bought and sold in this land now ravaged by the
Babylonians, where men and animals alike have disappeared. Yes, fields shall
once again be bought and sold – deeds signed and sealed and witnessed – in the
country of Benjamin and here in Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah and in the
hill country; in the Philistine plain and in the Negeb too, for some day I will
restore prosperity to them. Jeremiah Chapter 32 verses 40 to 44, TLB.
You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for the time to favor her,
yes, the set time has come. Psalm 102 verse 13, NKJV.
Nevertheless, the time will come when I will heal Jerusalem's damage and give her prosperity and peace. I will rebuild the cities of both Judah and Israel and restore their fortunes. And I will cleanse away all their sins against me and pardon them. Then this city will be an honor to me, and it will give me joy and be a source of praise and glory to me before all the nations of the earth. The people of the world will see the good I do for my people and will tremble with awe. The Lord declares that the happy voices of bridegrooms and of brides and the joyous song of those bringing offerings to the Lord will be heard again in this doomed land. The people will sing, praise the Lord! For he is good and his mercy endures forever! For I will make this land happier and more prosperous than it has ever been before. This land – though every man and animal and city is doomed – will once more see shepherds leading sheep and lambs. Once again, their flocks will prosper in the mountain villages and in the cities east of the Philistine plain, in all the cities of the Negeb, in the land of Benjamin, in the vicinity of Jerusalem, and in all the cities of Judah. Yes, the day will come, says the Lord, when I will do for Israel and Judah all the good I promised them. Jeremiah Chapter 33 verses 6 to 14, TLB, The Family Devotions Bible.
I will cause my people to walk on you once again, and you will be
their inheritance. You will never again devour their children. Ezekiel Chapter
36 verse 12, NLT.
