Isaiah 35

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 35:1-4

1-4 Judea was prosperous in the days of Hezekiah, but the kingdom of Christ is the great subject intended. Converting grace makes the soul that was a wilderness, to rejoice with joy and singing, and to blossom abundantly. The feeble and faint-hearted are encouraged. This is the design of the gospel. Fear is weakening; the more we strive against it, the stronger we are, both for doing and suffering; and he that says to us, Be strong, has laid help for us upon One who is mighty. Assurance is... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 35:5-10

5-10 When Christ shall come to set up his kingdom in the world, then wonders, great wonders, shall be wrought on men's souls. By the word and Spirit of Christ, the spiritually blind were enlightened; and those deaf to the calls of God were made to hear them readily. Those unable to do any thing good, by Divine grace were made active therein. Those that knew not how to speak of God or to God, had their lips opened to show forth his praise. When the Holy Ghost came upon the Gentiles that heard... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 35:1-10

The Joyful State of Christ's Kingdom. We have, in this chapter, a beautiful and majestic picture of the flourishing condition of Christ's kingdom, of the glorious future awaiting those who belong to the mountain of Zion, the redeemed of the Lord. v. 1. The wilderness and the solitary place, the desert and the steppe, shall be glad for them, that is, what formerly was a moral wilderness would he totally changed; and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose, the Oriental narcissus,... read more

4. OBVERSE OF THE JUDGMENT: ISRAEL’S REDEMPTION AND RETURN HOMEIsaiah 35:1-101 1The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them;And the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.2 2It shall blossom abundantly,And rejoice even with joy and singing:The glory of Lebanon 3shall 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... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 35:5

Isaiah MIRACLES OF HEALING Isa_35:5 - Isa_35:6 . ‘Then’-when? The previous verse answers, ‘Behold, your God will come, He will come and save you.’ And what or when is that ‘coming’? A glance at the place which this grand hymn occupies in the series of Isaiah’s prophecies answers that question. It stands at the close of the first part of these, and is the limit of the prophet’s vision. He has been setting forth the Lord’s judgments upon all heathen, and His deliverance of Israel from its... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 35:6-7

Isaiah MIRACLES OF HEALING MIRAGE OR LAKE Isa_35:6 - Isa_35:7 . What a picture is painted in these verses! The dreary wilderness stretches before us, monotonous, treeless, in some parts bearing a scanty vegetation which flourishes in early spring and dies before fierce summer heats, but for the most part utterly desolate, the sand blinding the eyes, the ground cracked and gaping as if athirst for the rain that will not fall; over it the tantalising mirage dancing in mockery, and amid the... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 35:8-359

Isaiah THE KING’S HIGHWAY Isa_35:8 - Isa_35:9 . We can fancy what it is to be lost in a forest where a traveller may ride round in a circle, thinking he is advancing, till he dies. But it is as easy to be lost in a wilderness, where there is nothing to see, as in a wood where one can see nothing. And there is something even more ghastly in being lost below the broad heavens in the open face of day than ‘in the close covert of innumerous boughs.’ The monotonous swells of the sand-heaps, the... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 35:9-10

Isaiah THE KING’ S HIGHWAY WHAT LIFE’S JOURNEY MAY BE Isa_35:9 - Isa_35:10 . We have here the closing words of Isaiah’s prophecy. It has been steadily rising, and now it has reached the summit. Men restored to all their powers, a supernatural communication of a new life, a pathway for our journey-these have been the visions of the preceding verses, and now the prophet sees the happy pilgrims flocking along the raised way, and hears some faint strains of their glad music, and he marks them,... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 35:1-10

the Rejoicing of the Redeemed Isaiah 35:1-10 God’s judgments change Carmel and Sharon into a waste; but His blessing makes the wilderness and parched land as Carmel and Sharon. Where the smile of God rests, deserts sing and become carpeted with flowers. Your hands may be weak and your knees feeble, but when your helplessness invokes the help of God, He will begin to perform wonderful things that pass expectation. Say over and over to yourself: “My God will come: be strong, my heart, and fear... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 35:1-10

The message of this chapter stands in close relation to the message of the preceding one, and yet in almost startling contrast to it. That was a picture of desolation. This is one of restoration. As in the former the whole earth was described as having been brought into confusion and emptiness, this great song opens with a description of the restoration of natural order. In all the beauty and glory of His rule men are to see anew "the glory of Jehovah, the excellency of God." This is to be... read more
