The Spirit cites the coming of the messenger in.v.3. "The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God." We know from the Gospel of John that he recognized Jesus by same Word that marked him before his birth for his ministry. So what does he say, "And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!"( John 1:36). The Spirit in v.9 rounds it off where the exhortation of John did come from. "O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings," The Gospel tells how Jesus was pointed out to him from the crowd in a public place. So the Spirit the expression "Behold your God!"is tied up with the Advent of Jesus Christ. Zion is established by God in the 'now' and in heaven. (Is.28:16). Jerusalem claimed by David from Jabusites is the city of David (2 Sam.5:6-10). Jerusalem and Zion founded in heaven is the holy city of God open to all saints. "Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."(Ps.50:5). In short the first 9 verses refer to his second appearance in mid-air: "Behold, the Lord God will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him."(v.10)
It is further supported by v.5. " And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it." "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen."(Re.1:7) All kindreds of the earth is what Isaiah refers to as 'All flesh shall see it together'.
vv.1-2 is pendent on the above. "For she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins." Nevertheless a remnant shall be allowed. Significant is the term" double"- the kingdom is taken away from them. Re.21:25.
