"The Real Beulah Land"
Isa 62:1-7 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and 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.
For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee. I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
Hephzibah: H2657
From H2656 with suffixes; my delight (is) in her; Cheptsibah, a fanciful name for Palestine: - Hephzi-bah.
Beulah: H1166 A primitive root; to be master; hence (as denominative from H1167) to marry: - Beulah have dominion (over), be husband, marry (-ried, X wife).
...”for the Lord delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.”
So, Zion and Jerusalem are foreordained by God to have the righteousness thereof go forth AS A LIGHT and...AS A LAMP. They are to become a crown of glory and a royal diadem in the hand of the Lord. The Gentiles are to see this righteousness and all Kings this glory. God has determined that He will call this Zion and Jerusalem by a …NEW NAME.
Who, then, is this;“Zion” and this; “Jerusalem”? Are they not just allegories, metaphors or parables which God has used to hide the MYSTERY of His Kingdom from those without eyes to see or ears to hear?
Did not Jesus say: “let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify the Father which is in heaven?
Are we Christians not just; ...."living stones being builed into His dwelling place"?
What? "...know ye not your body is a temple of the Holy Ghost?"
And again in another place...
”seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness”.
If "Kingdom" is just a contraction of "Kings-dominion" or "where the King has dominion" and we know He reigns in our hearts. ("...the Kingdom is within you") we begin to see into this mystery of the Kingdom by the Holy Spirit.
God has purposed to have a people who will be governed by Him willingly, from the heart. A people who will, at all costs, allow His righteousness to be worked by the Holy Spirit in them, until all of these things, fully, come to pass.
"Until we all come unto perfection, even unto the stature and measure of Christ".
..."Christ in us, the hope of glory."
No more to be a desolate land, a land forsaken.
Our soul and flesh were as a wilderness, before Christ. Our soul and flesh were as a dry, thirsty and desolate land. Only through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit came living water from on high and then the river of God grew deep and wide and NOW "..out of your inner most being will flow; rivers of living water..."
Beulah land is not some day in heaven. For the Kingdom of Heaven is "at hand"!!
