Contrast between Christ/Israel & Jews
ISRAEL were to be called by a new name (Isa. 62:2). The Jews have retained their old name unchanged.
ISRAEL were to be blind to their identity (Rom. 11:25). The Jews still claim to be the chosen people.
ISRAEL were to have a change of name (Isa. 65:15). The Jews were to be known by a change in physiognomy (Isa. 3:9).
ISRAEL were to be named after Isaac, i.e. called Saxon (Gen. 21:12) The Jews’ name was to be a curse to them (Isa. 65:15).
