The unknown the suprise of what lays ahead causes one to be a virgin or unknowning of the reality of what will be experience. A non believer can understand many thing about our faith in regards to traditions, worship styles and so forth, but they can not understand the feeling a believer gets upon receiving Christ has one personal Savior. The virgin experience of salvation is one when the new believer rejoices at knowing Christ is within her heart upon asking, and the Savior and the angels of heaven rejoice over the new bride of the church that just received Christ. She is Hephzibah (delight in her) and her land is Beulah (Land that is married), a people with a husband/protector marked as Jerusalem by God.

If I could stress anything about this chapter it would be the righteousness of God shining forth in Jerusalem. Meaning faith coming alive ina place of desolation, a planting and growth making it a new land. A New Jerusalem, a new beginning and new covering and a new earth. If you ever lived in one place long enough you see things torn down and rebuilt upon, and so it is with foundation of faith, must sometimes be torn down, in order for God to rebuild upon. God would take the Gentile nation and build a new order of faith, that is still of old. The Old desolated and the new would be built by the God. A rebuilding of faith, no a begin of a virgin faith. A faith that begins without knowledge of God's blessings that is bestowed by faith. The adultery of a nation being so great that no one knows what true faith is anymore and so God must begin a new with a land of desolation. Israel was war torn, destroyed and ready to be rebuilt by the power of God. Israel would be sought out by God once more and a city not forsaken, the city of God which is Jerusalem. Jewish people would return home to Jerusalem.

A nation that rejoiced over Jerusalem reestablishment at the time of the return of Israel was a tribe of Gentiles, they even sent goods and tools to rebuild the temple and the land of Jerusalem. At the end of time the New Jerusalem would come down from heaven and the saints of God would rejoice as they rise up to meet Jerusalem coming down from heaven.

Christ bride will meet him in the sky. God's people that been redeemed at the time of Christ and saved after Christ will descend. We will see Christ with the old time prophets, and the new testament ministers of faith, along with people we may or may not ever heard of before, but they will be there too, because of their faith in Christ. God wants to build the New Jerusalem a place in heaven that will come down, and wants to build a place that will be on a new earth by his design and not ours.

Man can tear down and rebuild, but they are not the ones to rebuild or tear down the people of God. There evil arising in our land that no one can see, a land called to prosperity but it only bring destruction, for man thinks they can rebuild, but God must be the builder. The land must be built on the word of God and not the prosperity of wealth.

God wants to establish, and not allow Satan to build. Yet the people of God must declare it to build the things by God's design for prosperity of God to reign, not a prosperity of wealth but a prosperity of faith. Can you build on the prosperity of faith on the word of God. Beulah land is coming for us, not us going to Beulah land. There is difference, God is bring a beautiful city with His Son prepared for his people.

Dear Heavenly Father, as your saints long for your city, help us to wait to your calling, to be testimony of faith in your city. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
