As you read the verses below, it is important to first understand "who" God is talking to, and, who He is talking about, as He lovingly speaks of his restored nation: (Rev 21:1-4)

Gal 3:19-29 (26) You are all God's children by believing in Christ Jesus. (27) Clearly, all of you who were baptized in Christ's name have clothed yourselves with Christ. (28) There are neither Jews nor Greeks, slaves nor free people, males nor females. You are all the same in Christ Jesus. (29) If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants and heirs, as God promised.

Have you made sure He talking about you?

Isaiah 62:1-12 BBE . . .Because of Zion I will not keep quiet, and because of Jerusalem I will take no rest, till her righteousness goes out like the shining of the sun, and her salvation like a burning light. (2) And the nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory: and you will have a new name, given by the mouth of the Lord (יהוה). (3) And you will be a fair crown in the hand of the Lord (יהוה), and a king's head-dress in the hand of your God. (4) You will not now be named, She who is given up; and your land will no longer be named, The waste land: but you will have the name, My pleasure is in her, and your land will be named, Married: for the Lord (יהוה) has pleasure in you, and your land will be married. (5) For as a young man takes a virgin for his wife, so will your maker be married to you: and as a husband has joy in his bride, so will the Lord (יהוה) your God be glad over you. (6) I have put watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will not keep quiet day or night: you who are the Lord (יהוה)'s recorders, take no rest, (7) And give him no rest, till he puts Jerusalem in her place to be praised in the earth. (8) The Lord (יהוה) has taken an oath by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Truly, I will no longer give your grain to be food for your haters; and men of strange countries will not take the wine for which your work has been done: (9) But those who have got in the grain will have it for their food, and will give praise to the Lord (יהוה); and those who have got in the grapes will take the wine of them in the open places of my holy house. (10) Go through, go through the doors; make ready the way of the people; let the highway be lifted up; let the stones be taken away; let a flag be lifted up over the peoples. (11) The Lord (יהוה) has sent out word to the end of the earth, Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your saviour comes; those whom he has made free are with him, and those to whom he has given salvation go before him. (12) And they will be named, The holy people, Those whose cause has been taken up by the Lord (יהוה): and you will be named, Desired, A town not given up.

Isaiah 62:1-12 GNB . . .I will speak out to encourage Jerusalem; I will not be silent until she is saved, And her victory shines like a torch in the night. (2) Jerusalem, the nations will see you victorious! All their kings will see your glory. You will be called by a new name, A name given by the LORD (יהוה) himself. (3) You will be like a beautiful crown for the LORD (יהוה). (4) No longer will you be called "Forsaken," Or your land be called "The Deserted Wife." Your new name will be "God Is Pleased with Her." Your land will be called "Happily Married," Because the LORD (יהוה) is pleased with you And will be like a husband to your land. (5) Like a young man taking a virgin as his bride, He who formed you will marry you. As a groom is delighted with his bride, So your God will delight in you. (6) On your walls, Jerusalem, I have placed sentries; They must never be silent day or night. They must remind the LORD (יהוה) of his promises And never let him forget them. (7) They must give him no rest until he restores Jerusalem And makes it a city the whole world praises. (8) The LORD (יהוה) has made a solemn promise, And by his power he will carry it out: "Your grain will no longer be food for your enemies, And foreigners will no longer drink your wine. (9) But you that planted and harvested the grain Will eat the bread and praise the LORD (יהוה). You that tended and gathered the grapes Will drink the wine in the courts of my Temple." (10) People of Jerusalem, go out of the city And build a road for your returning people! Prepare a highway; clear it of stones! Put up a signal so that the nations can know (11) That the LORD (יהוה) is announcing to all the earth: "Tell the people of Jerusalem That the LORD (יהוה) is coming to save you, Bringing with him the people he has rescued." (12) You will be called "God's Holy People," "The People the LORD (יהוה) Has Saved." Jerusalem will be called "The City That God Loves," "The City That God Did Not Forsake."

Isaiah 62:1-12 CEV . . .Jerusalem, I will speak up for your good. I will never be silent till you are safe and secure, sparkling like a flame. (2) Your great victory will be seen by every nation and king; the LORD (יהוה) will even give you a new name. (3) You will be a glorious crown, a royal headband, for the LORD (יהוה) your God. (4) Your name will no longer be "Deserted and Childless," but "Happily Married." You will please the LORD (יהוה); your country will be his bride. (5) Your people will take the land, just as a young man takes a bride. The LORD (יהוה) will be pleased because of you, just as a husband is pleased with his bride. (6) Jerusalem, on your walls I have stationed guards, whose duty it is to speak out day and night, without resting. They must remind the LORD (יהוה) (7) and not let him rest till he makes Jerusalem strong and famous everywhere. (8) The LORD (יהוה) has given his word and made this promise: "Never again will I give to your enemies the grain and grapes for which you struggled. (9) As surely as you harvest your grain and grapes, you will eat your bread with thankful hearts, and you will drink your wine in my temple." (10) People of Jerusalem, open your gates! Repair the road to the city and clear it of stones; raise a banner to help the nations find their way. (11) Here is what the LORD (יהוה) has said for all the earth to hear: "Soon I will come to save the city of Zion, and to reward you. (12) Then you will be called, 'The LORD (יהוה)'s Own People, The Ones He Rescued!' Your city will be known as a good place to live and a city full of people."
