In this verse, Isaiah prophesies a future where God's people are recognized as holy and redeemed. The terms "Holy People" and "Redeemed of the Lord" signify a special status bestowed upon them by God, emphasizing their sanctity and the salvation they have received. This transformation is not just personal but communal, as the city itself, once abandoned, becomes a place of attraction and significance. The phrase "Sought After" suggests a reversal of fortunes, where those who were once ignored or marginalized are now desired and valued. This reflects God's power to renew and restore, turning desolation into a vibrant community filled with life and purpose. The imagery of a "City No Longer Deserted" serves as a powerful metaphor for hope and renewal, illustrating God's unwavering commitment to His people and His ability to bring about profound change. It reassures believers of God's enduring presence and His promise to restore and uplift those who trust in Him.
They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord; and you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted.
Isaiah 62:12
