Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 62:10

Theological / Devotional

Go through the gates. Isaiah refers prophetically to the coming of Messiah (see on ch. 40:3-5). All obstructions are to be removed; everything that might give offense is to be put aside.

Prepare ye. See on chs. 40:3; 57:14.

Cast up. See on ch. 57:14.

Lift up a standard. That is, a “flag,” or “ensign.” A flag stands for authority and challenges men to be loyal to that authority. God’s law is a spiritual ensign. Similarly, the Scriptures as a whole bear the stamp of Heaven and call for loyal obedience. It is the solemn duty of God’s spiritual watchmen to lift high the standard of truth God has entrusted to them.
