In Isaiah 52:12, 58:8, this signifies that the Lord is the last as well as the first in protecting a person's spiritual regeneration. (The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms 52)

52. Internal Meaning of Isaiah, Chapter 52 (8)

1 To the new church: let it embrace the doctrine of truth, that falsities may not break in, (11)

2 and let it reject falsities, (11)

3 by which they have been made captive, and from which they will be freed. (11)

4 Because they have been imbued with knowledges [cognitiones] of falsity confirmed by reasonings, (11)

5 therefore there is evil and ignorance of God; (11)

6-7 but they will know their God when He comes into the world, (11, 1)

8-9 when He will restore the church, (11, 1)

10 and will manifest Himself; (1)

11 and then they will forsake the religiosities in which there are such falsities. (11)

12-13 The Lord will lead them out by degrees. (11, 1, 8)

14 He will appear in humility. (1)

14-15 Then those who are in goods and truths will see and draw near. (11, 1)
