This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me

Isaiah 54:1-17

Sing, barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,” says the Lord.

your descendants will dispossess nations and settle in their desolate cities.

For your Maker is your husband— the Lord Almighty is his name— the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth. The Lord will call you back as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit— a wife who married young, only to be rejected,” says your God. “For a brief moment I abandoned you, but with deep compassion I will bring you back. In a surge of anger I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you,” says the Lord your Redeemer.

Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and this is their vindication from me,” declares the Lord.

Why?

The future glory of Zion will come back, and the descendants will return to the glory and property.

There are many children for they are the sons of the Lord. They are not born from women but come from the Holy Spirit.

The Lord has the unfailing love and we will not be shaken nor the God's covenant of peace be removed.

v1-3: 錫安復興 ：不生養、人本來不懷孕的心是羞恥，神要讓他們歡喜。懷孕生子代表生命延續下去的含意。幼年的羞愧：指在埃及，寡居的羞辱是指在巴比倫。神把自己比喻為丈夫，以色列人，教會是妻子，以此來安慰人。

4-10 神的怒氣不是一生之久。慈愛才是神的本質。怒氣為了導正他的百姓。

v11-17重新建造：新耶路撒冷。大難的的倖存者多是經過水火，什麼都沒有。神要讓我們更精彩，更豐盛，令人羨慕的生命。即使有人要攻擊我也要仆倒。神向我們保證，這些武器無法攻擊我們。保護我們堅固我們！
