The Joyful Restoration of God's People

1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.

3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.

5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.

7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.

9 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:

10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Commentary

The imagery in this chapter is both beautiful and powerful. It is a vivid picture of God's redemption and mercy for his people. The prophecy of the restoration gives hope to those who have suffered and been exiled or oppressed. It is a call to look forward to the day when God's promises will be fulfilled in their lives.The healing of the sick and the lame is symbolic of the holistic restoration of God's people. It represents not only physical healing, but also the healing of the soul and the restoration of relationships. The transformation of the desert into a place of abundance is a powerful metaphor for the potential of God's redemption in all areas of our lives.Isaiah 35 reminds us that although we may experience trials and tribulations in life, God is always faithful to restore and heal us. It is a chapter of hope and encouragement, a reminder that God's promises never fail and that His love for us endures forever.
