Historically, Israel faced numerous invasions and conflicts, but this prophecy promises an end to such violence. It reflects the Messianic hope of a kingdom where peace reigns, aligning with prophecies like <a href="/isaiah/2-4.htm">Isaiah 2:4</a>, where swords are turned into plowshares. This peace is not just the absence of war but the presence of righteousness and justice, as seen in the reign of the Messiah.<p><b>nor ruin or destruction within your borders</b><br>The promise of no ruin or destruction signifies a complete restoration and protection of the nation. In the historical context, Jerusalem had been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times, so this assurance would have been profoundly comforting. It echoes the covenantal promises of God to protect and bless His people when they are faithful to Him, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/28.htm">Deuteronomy 28</a>. This also points to the ultimate fulfillment in the New Jerusalem described in <a href="/revelation/21.htm">Revelation 21</a>, where there is no more death or mourning.<p><b>But you will name your walls Salvation</b><br>Naming the walls "Salvation" signifies that the city's protection and security come from God alone. In ancient times, city walls were crucial for defense, but here, the emphasis is on divine protection. This reflects the theological truth that salvation is from the Lord (<a href="/psalms/62.htm">Psalm 62:1</a>). It also typifies Jesus Christ, who is the cornerstone of our faith and the source of our salvation (<a href="/acts/4-11.htm">Acts 4:11-12</a>).<p><b>and your gates Praise</b><br>The gates being named "Praise" indicates that the entry points to the city are characterized by worship and thanksgiving. In biblical times, city gates were places of gathering and judgment, but here they symbolize access to God's presence through praise. This aligns with <a href="/psalms/100-4.htm">Psalm 100:4</a>, which encourages entering His gates with thanksgiving. It also foreshadows the eternal worship in the heavenly city, where God's people will continually praise Him (<a href="/revelation/21-24.htm">Revelation 21:24-26</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a></b><br>A major prophet in the Old Testament, Isaiah's prophecies often focus on the themes of judgment and redemption.

They probably found a starting-point in the Eastern practice of giving to the walls of a city names that implied a consecration.

The entire cessation of war and violence is one of the most characteristic features of the "last times," when swords shall be beaten into ploughshares, and spears into pruning-hooks. "The Prince of Peace" shall ultimately establish peace. It is not surprising that men of earnest religious feeling should have thought, at various times, that they saw the actual commencement of the reign of peace upon earth, so distinctly promised, so earnestly longed for, so necessary for the happiness of mankind. But to a calm and dispassionate observer the nineteenth century seems scarcely more advanced upon the road which leads to this desirable end than the first. Thou shall call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. The true wall of the city will be the "salvation" of which God assures it, and the true gates will be the "praise," or renown, which it has among the nations of the earth (comp. <a href="/isaiah/26-1.htm">Isaiah 26:1</a>). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/isaiah/60-18.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">No</span><br /><span class="heb">לֹא־</span> <span class="translit">(lō-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb -
