August 17 - Isaiah 62:11-12

August 17 – Isaiah 62:11-12

The LORD has made proclamation to the ends of the earth: “Say to the Daughter of Zion, ‘See, your Savior comes! See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him.’ ” They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the LORD; and you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted.

Are you ready?

The Savior is coming!  He brings salvation.  He brings redemption.

When the Day of the Lord comes, the Savior will be there first.  He will have His reward with Him.  He will redeem His people and that is how they will ever be known – the Redeemed of the Lord.

The city that was deserted following the Exile into Babylon will never again be deserted.  It will be made new.

The Savior that comes to redeem the earth will reign in this New Jerusalem.  He will rule over all the nations of the world and His people will never face adversity again.

Jesus came to the earth to redeem His people.  He will come again to redeem the world.

His promise stands clear in Revelation: “Behold, I am coming soon!  My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” (Rev. 22:12-13)

He is coming soon.  The Lord proclaims His coming.  He is the author of our salvation, the redemption of all mankind.

He is coming soon.
