It will no longer be said of you, "Forsaken," nor to your land will it any long be said, "Desolate": But you will be called, "My delight is in her." And your land "Married"; For the Lord delights in you, And in Him your land will be married. Isaiah 62:4
Israel had a disturbing background. Because of their disobedience, they carried the title "Forsaken" and "Desolate". Isaiah, the prophet of the Messiah, had better news for them. The coming of Jesus would change their status to "delight" and they would transform into the bride of Christ. Christ's church is most certainly His bride. As His bride, we shake the image of "forsaken" and "desolate" and replace it with "Delight". It was hope for their future, and hope for ours as well.
