Isaiah 35

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 35:10

A HAPPY PROSPECT‘Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.’ Isaiah 35:10‘Sorrow ends when sin and the discipline that sin needs have ended. Sighing ends when weariness, loss, physical pain, and all the other ills that flesh is heir to have ceased to vex and weigh upon the spirit. Life purges the dross of imperfection from character. Death purges the alloy of sorrow and sighing from joy, and leaves the perfected spirit possessor of the pure gold of perfect and eternal gladness.’ read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 35

Chapter 35 God’s Future Blessing on His People. This chapter possibly completes the first half of the book (but see note at the end of chapter 33) prior to entering the corridor that leads into the second half of the book, that is chapter 36-39 which deal with historical events that carry us from the first to the second, and illuminate both halves. It thus deals with the final triumph of the people of God through redemption. The chapter is in huge and deliberate contrast with the previous one.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 35:1-2

The Desert Will Blossom Like A Rose And Reveal The Glory of Yahweh (Isaiah 35:1-2 ). In direct contrast with the barrenness and emptiness of Edom, all the barren places of Israel will flourish, and they will blossom with all the glory of a rose in its splendour, and will be filled with joy and singing, for they will see the excellency and glory of God. The picture is one of total blessing and rejoicing. Analysis. a The wilderness and the solitary place will be glad, and the desert will... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 35:3-4

God’s People Are To Prepare Themselves For Deliverance (Isaiah 35:3-7 ). But those who would participate in the blessing must also prepare themselves, and Isaiah calls on the people to become strong in faith and in looking to God.

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 35:5-7

The Days of Blessing Will Surely Come (Isaiah 35:5-7 ). For those who are His the day of blessing is guaranteed. And in that day all will be put right. All disability will be removed to be replaced by rivers of living water (John 4:10-14; John 7:37-39), which will endure for ever (Revelation 22:1-5). Analysis. a Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped, then will the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb will sing (Isaiah 35:5-6 a).... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 35:8-10

God Will Prepare For His People The Way In Which They Must Walk (Isaiah 35:8-10 ). Walking in God’s way (or not doing) is a theme of Isaiah (Isaiah 3:12; Isaiah 8:11; Isaiah 26:7-8; Isaiah 28:7; Isaiah 30:21). It is a way of roses and abundant joy (Isaiah 35:1-2), it is a way in which all are restored and made whole (Isaiah 35:3-6 a), it is a way of abundance of water when the wilderness will be no more (Isaiah 35:6-7), it is the way of security and holiness (Isaiah 35:8-9). And all who walk... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 35

Isaiah 34-35. The Downfall of Edom, and Permanent Desolation of its Land. The Blessedness of God’ s People and Fertility of its Land.— These chapters are generally, and probably correctly, attributed to the same hand. Isaiah 34 exhibits the fiercest hatred of Edom, reminding us most of Isaiah 63:1-Judges :. This hatred, for which we may compare Lamentations 4:21 f., Psalms 137:7, Jeremiah 49:7-Song of Solomon :, was largely due to the exultation displayed by the Edomites at the destruction of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 35:1-10

Isaiah 35. The wilderness shall become fruitful as the most fertile districts of Palestine. Let the timid take courage, for Divine vengeance on the enemy is at hand. The blind and deaf, the lame and dumb, will be healed. The thirsty desert shall abound with streams and springs. In the haunts of wild creatures will be grass for cattle. There shall be a holy way for pilgrims, on which the godless will not be permitted to travel; it will be unmolested by wild beasts, so that the pilgrims may... read more

And as the land of God’s enemies, which was exceeding fruitful, shall be turned into a desolate wilderness, as was declared in the foregoing chapter; so, on the contrary, Emmanuel’s land, or the seat of God’s church and people, which formerly was deserted and despised like a wilderness, and which the rage and malice of their enemies had brought to desolation, shall flourish exceedingly. For them; for the wilderness and solitary place; or, for these things, which were prophesied in the foregoing... read more
