Isaiah 62:10 (KJ21)
Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people. Cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people.

Isaiah 62:10 (NAS)
Go through, go through the gates; Clear the way for the people; Build up, build up the highway; Remove the stones, lift up a standard over the peoples.

Isaiah 62:10 (NIVUS)
Pass through, pass through the gates! Prepare the way for the people. Build up, build up the highway! Remove the stones. Raise a banner for the nations.

Isaiah 62:10 (NLT)
Go out! Prepare the highway for my people to return! Smooth out the road; pull out the boulders; raise a flag for all the nations to see.

Have you ever gotten to a place in your life when you know that you have to press on no matter what? You know that to go back would be going against God's will, but you are still apprehensive about continuing along the path. Now is the time to make a decision to go on and to go through whatever opposition you are experiencing. You should set your feet to march on, to cross over that invisible line into a place of overflow. You are in covenant with Jehovah the Lord and He has already passed through each part before you. His plan for you is advancement!

Gates lead into cities, towns, marketplaces, public meeting places, palaces, castles, and temples. All of these are spheres of influence and power. Therefore, when you come to a gate, simply open it up and go through to the other side, for you are called to turn people back to Adonai, the Most High God. You can influence them to turn away from their sin, so that their path is clear once more and they no longer walk in darkness.

You have the opportunity to lift up a highway before the peoples and nations. You know that if they follow along this road that they will be exalted, highly esteemed, and prized by Almighty God. You also help as you remove the large and small stones in their path, so that nothing can trip them along the way. As you lift and exalt the Lord God, your life becomes a standard for others to follow, for you display His glory.

Therefore, go through, go through the gates. You will find your true destiny on the other side.
