以赛亚书 35:1 CUVS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 35:1

Isaiah 35:1. The wilderness and solitary place, &c. As the land of the church’s enemies, which had enjoyed many external blessings and comforts, 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 barren and despised, like a wilderness, shall flourish exceedingly. We have more than once had occasion to observe, that by the wilderness is generally meant the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Isaiah 35:1-10

A paradise for God’s people (35:1-10)In contrast to the terrifying end that awaits the wicked, the final state that God has prepared for the righteous is one of peace, joy and beauty. As judgment was pictured in the devastation of the land of Edom, so salvation is pictured in the restoration of the land of Israel. The picture is that of a desert that turns into a beautiful garden or a mighty forest. The Lord God dwells there and strengthens his people (35:1-4).All the effects of sin are now... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 35:1

Many scholars profess to see a close connection between this chapter and the preceding one, and to interpret the wonderful blessings portrayed in this as being the consequence of the destruction of God's enemies in Isaiah 34. We see no such thing. Whatever similarities may exist here between the great blessings of the Kingdom of Christ, which is most surely the focus of the chapter, and the return of a small remnant of the Jews from the Babylonian captivity, it appears to us are very limited;... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 35:1-2

Isaiah 35:1-2. The wilderness, &c.— There can be no doubt of the connection of this chapter with that preceding. Comp. Isa 35:4 with Isa 35:8 in that chapter. The most joyful, prosperous, and glorious things are here predicted, concerning the state of the church after the judgment upon Edom, in such figurative terms as are familiar with our prophet, and are easily understood. We have had occasion heretofore to observe, that by the wilderness is generally meant the Gentile church; the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 35:1

A moral wilderness is meant. for them—namely, on account of the punishment inflicted according to the preceding prophecy on the enemy; probably the blessings set forth in this chapter are included in the causes for joy ( :-). rose—rather, "the meadow-saffron," an autumnal flower with bulbous roots; so Syriac translation. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Isaiah 35:1-2

References to the wilderness and desert tie this chapter to the preceding one. The wilderness that God so thoroughly judged, personified here, will eventually rejoice because it will blossom profusely. The beauty and glory that formerly marked Lebanon and Carmel, before the devastation of chapter 34, will mark these places again, but more so. Their transformation, at God’s hand, will enable them to appreciate the inherent value and majestic dignity of Israel’s sovereign Lord (cf. Romans... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 35:1

XXXV.(1) The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them . . .—The desolation of the chief enemy of Israel is contrasted with the renewed beauty of Israel’s own inheritance. The two last words are better omitted. The three nouns express varying degrees of the absence of culture, the wild pasture-land, the bare moor, the sandy steppe.Shall . . . blossom as the rose.—Better, as the narcissus, but the primrose and the crocus (Colchicum autumnale) have also been suggested. The words... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 35:1-10

The Mirage and the Pool Isaiah 35:7 'The mirage shall become a pool.' The illusory shall become the substantial. The life of disappointments shall become a life of satisfaction. I. What some men have experienced in the sandy desert others have suffered in the common life. Humanity is mocked by a mirage more inviting and enticing than the semblance of the desert. There is the illusory in life, the mirage which allures with its promise of satisfying pools, and then mocks us with its leagues of... read more
