Isaías 66:10 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 66:10

Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad with her
The church; she bringing forth so many spiritual children to Christ; just as, when a woman is delivered of a child, her friends and neighbours congratulate her upon it, and rejoice with her on that account; as Elisabeth's neighbours and relations did, at the birth of John the Baptist, ( Luke 1:57 Luke 1:58 ) , so the church's friends here are called together to rejoice with her, at the numerous birth and conversion of souls in her, than which nothing is more joyful to the saints; see ( Luke 15:6 Luke 15:9 Luke 15:23 Luke 15:24 ) ( Acts 15:3 ) : all ye that love her;
wish her well, and pray for her peace and prosperity; all that love God love his church, the habitation of his house, the place where his honour dwells; all that love Christ love her who is his spouse and bride, and purchased by his blood; all that love the word and ordinances love the church where they are administered: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her;
that had mourned for her, when things went ill with her; these are they that mourn in Zion, and for Zion, because of the sins of her professors; corruptions in doctrine, discipline, and worship; declensions in grace; want of love to one another, and few instances of conversion: but now things being the reverse, and it going well with her, they are called upon to rejoice exceedingly with her; for such is the sympathizing spirit of the saints, that they rejoice with them that rejoice, and weep with them that weep, ( Romans 12:15 ) ( 1 Corinthians 12:26 ) .

Isaías 66:10 In-Context

8 ¿Acaso alguien ha visto algo tan extraño como esto?
¿Quién ha oído hablar de algo así?
¿Acaso ha nacido una nación en un solo día?
¿Acaso ha surgido un país en un solo instante?
Pero para cuando le comiencen los dolores de parto a Jerusalén,
ya habrán nacido sus hijos.

9 ¿Llevaría yo a esta nación al punto de nacer
para después no dejar que naciera? —pregunta el Señor
—.
¡No! Nunca impediría que naciera esta nación
—dice su Dios—.

10 »¡Alégrense con Jerusalén!
Gócense con ella, todos ustedes que la aman
y ustedes que se lamentan por ella.

11 Beban abundantemente de su gloria,
como bebe un pequeño hasta saciarse de los pechos consoladores de su madre».

12 Esto dice el Señor
:
«Yo le daré a Jerusalén un río de paz y de prosperidad.
Las riquezas de las naciones fluirán hacia ella.
Sus hijos se alimentarán de sus pechos,
serán llevados en sus brazos y sostenidos en sus piernas.
