It reflects the biblical principle of continually seeking God without ceasing, as seen in <a href="/luke/18.htm">Luke 18:1-8</a>, where Jesus teaches about the persistent widow. The idea is to remain steadfast in prayer, not allowing God to "rest" until His promises are fulfilled. This reflects the urgency and importance of the matter at hand, which is the restoration and exaltation of Jerusalem.<p><b>until He establishes Jerusalem</b><br>The establishment of Jerusalem is a central theme in biblical prophecy. Jerusalem holds a significant place in God's plan, being the city chosen by God for His dwelling (<a href="/psalms/132-13.htm">Psalm 132:13-14</a>). Historically, Jerusalem has been the center of Jewish worship and the location of the Temple. The phrase points to a future time when God will fully restore and establish Jerusalem as a place of peace and righteousness, aligning with prophecies in <a href="/zechariah/8-3.htm">Zechariah 8:3</a> and <a href="/revelation/21-2.htm">Revelation 21:2</a>, where the New Jerusalem is depicted as descending from heaven.<p><b>and makes her the praise of the earth</b><br>This phrase indicates a future transformation where Jerusalem will be recognized and honored by all nations. It connects to the messianic hope where Jerusalem becomes a beacon of God's glory and righteousness, as seen in <a href="/isaiah/60.htm">Isaiah 60:1-3</a>. The city will be a testimony to God's faithfulness and power, drawing the admiration and praise of the entire earth.
