Isaiah 62:7 Summary
[Isaiah 62:7 is a call to persistent prayer, asking God to establish Jerusalem and make it a city of praise and worship.

We can be like watchmen on the walls, praying day and night for God's promises to be fulfilled, similar to the teachings in Luke 18:1-8 and Psalm 122:6. By praying and interceding, we can play a part in God's plan to make Jerusalem a city of great joy and worship, where people from all nations will come to praise Him.]
