“Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the Lord hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted.” Isaiah 49:13
Jeremiah can’t stop crying, and Isaiah just can’t stop singing. He’s the singing prophet; he sings about Christ, and His people, he just can’t stop singing because he’s got a lot to sing about. There are more exhortations to sing, and prophecies about singing for increase, and singing in general in Isaiah than in any of the other prophets.
“Therefore the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.” Isaiah 51:11
“Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the Lord shall bring again Zion. Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.” It’s remarkable the barren women in the Bible that God caused to sing. His people will begin to prosper and enjoy increase when they begin to sing.
Not just for the sake of singing, but in expectation with regard to what God is about to do.
You can take it for granted and think its just entertainment, but if that is all you see in it you’re blind.
There’s a far higher purpose than that in song. Isaiah 52:8-9.
