The Gentiles shall see thy RIGHTEOUSNESS, and all KINGS thy GLORY: and thou shalt be called by a NEW NAME. Thou shalt also be a CROWN of GLORY in the hand of the LORD, a ROYAL DIADEM in the hand of thy God. Thou shalt no more be termed FORSAKEN; neither shall thy land any more be termed DESOLATE: but thou shalt be called HEPHZIBAH, and thy land BEULAH: for the LORD DELIGHTETH in thee, and thy land shall be MARRIED.
This prophecy will find it’s fulfillment in the thousand year reign of Jesus Christ. We were told that they would “no more be termed Forsaken”, yet Jesus said unto them “Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.” (Mt 23:38-39) The Prophet Isaiah in chapter 60 prophesies of this New City saying “Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time.” (Isa 60:18-22) Notice this is the same thing prophesied concerning the New City in Revelation “And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.” (Rev 21:23-27) And in Isaiah 60 again, “Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought. For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.” (Isa 60:11-12)
