Who has seen such things?
Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day?
Or shall a nation be born at once?
For as soon as Zion was in labor,
She gave birth to her children.
“Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your God.
And be glad with her, all you who love her;
Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her;
With the consolation of her bosom,
That you may drink deeply and be delighted
With the abundance of her glory.”
“Behold, aI will extend peace to her like a river,
And the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream.
Then you shall bfeed;
On her sides shall you be ccarried,
And be dandled on her knees.
No entry exists in Forerunner Commentary for Isaiah 66:9.
66:7-11
That sounds like the vision in Revelation 12, where a woman gave birth to a male Child who was to rule all nations.
Notice that the imagery and the time have moved forward, and now it is not just a single Child to which Zion gives birth, but to children—plural. A whole nation is born at once, and the context is the future restoration of Jerusalem.
