No rest for the righteous.

"I have appointed watchmen upon your walls, Jerusalem;
all day and all night they shall never be silent.
You who profess YHWH have no rest.
And you must not give Him rest until He establishes,
and He makes Jerusalem an object of praise in the earth."
Isaiah 62: 6,7

You...must not give HIM.... rest.

What does this mean?  Who are those who profess YHWH if not us?  Who are the watchmen?  The prophets and priests and witnesses to what they have seen and heard if not those to whom His revelation has come and His Spirit rests?  And what are we commissioned to do?  

Not give HIM rest.  We are to wear out heaven with our pleading and our supplication and our reminding of God of His own promises.  With our desire to see His glory finally shine forth.  To see Isaiah 60 fulfilled.  

To pray without ceasing.  In the name, the honor and glory of the one in whom all of the promises are and will be fulfilled, Jesus.
