HEPHZI-BAH: "MY DELIGHT IS IN HER".
THE PROCLAMATION. The "new wine" from our Heavenly Father Jehovah will be for the spirit joy of faithful anointed sons of God, their offspring and descendants, and all those of the spiritual "land" wedded to His Name. (61:8,9 NEB) (60:21,22 & 62:4,5 NEB).
THE REVERSAL. In fulfilment of Isaiah 61:1-3 (NEB) the Spirit of the Lord Jehovah has anointed our Lord The Christ Michael to proclaim "a year of the Lord's favour and a day of the vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn (Zion's mourners), to give them garlands instead of ashes, oil of gladness instead of mourner's tears, a garment of splendour for the heavy heart." In "the year of the Lord's favour" "the days of your mourning shall be ended." (60:20 NEB). Obedient offspring of faithful anointed sons of God will help heavenly "Jerusalem" re-establish desolate places to their former glory. (61:4,9 NEB). The heavenly government of God will be one of peace and righteousness (60:17), and His beloved people "shall all be righteous and shall for ever possess the land, a shoot of My planting, a work of My own hands to bring Me glory." (60:21 NEB).
"The City of the
Lord, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel"
is His "sanctuary" class of faithful anointed sons in heaven
"They shall be called a Holy People, the Ransomed of the Lord, a People long-sought, a City not forsaken." (62:12 NEB).
