Isaiah61:4
4 And they shall build the old wasts, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the wast cities, the desolations of many generations .
See ch. 58. 12. As it is applied to Gospel times, the meaning may be, that Gentilism, which was as a wilderness overgrown with Briars, and Thorns, shall be cultivated, and those Cities, and Provinces of the Gentiles, that lay as it were wast, void of all true Religion, shall now by the Ministry of the Word, be edified in the true worship of God.
