Have you ever noticed that land is always called a female and the people are called the sons or children?
Take for example Jacob represents the sons being of the 12 tribes or children that will be born as restored Israel or THE WOMAN(heavenly Jerusalem)
Gen 35:10-12
10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
11 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;
12 And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
KJV
Those who are truly IN CHRIST walking in TRUTH are of the SEED who is The Christ(The Word) which is SEED to grow on being the very Word of Life that must be planted in the children of God to grown into the image of His dear Son.
Isa 62:4-7
4 Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
5 For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
6 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.
KJV
Isa 66:7-10
7 Before{CAUGHT UP}she travailed, she brought forth; before{CAUGHT UP} her pain came, she was delivered of a man child.
8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once{BODY OF CHRIST, CHILDREN OF GOD}? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb{NO MORE CHANCE TO MAKE THE HEAVENLY HOPE THE DOOR IS SHUT}? saith thy God.
10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem{ABOVE}, and be glad with her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn for her{JERUSALEM OF FLESH BELOW}:
