Commentary on Isaiah 62:2

Theological / Devotional

Gentiles shall see. See on ch. 60:3-5.

A new name. Anciently, a new name was given — or assumed, as the case might be — to commemorate an event of major significance (Gen. 17:5; 32:28; Ruth 1:20; cf. Hosea 1:6, 9; 2:1). Here God’s people receive a new name appropriate to their new experience, to the glorious state to which they, as a nation, have attained. Concerning the nature of their new name see Isa. 62:4, 12. Compare Rev. 2:17 ; 3:12; 19:12.
