Isaiah 35:1-2 NLT,NIV,ESV

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

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

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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 35:1

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

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 35:2

The glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon; the wilderness shall be as pleasant and fruitful as Lebanon, and Carmel, and Sharon; which were eminent parts of the land of Canaan, as hath been oft noted. They, who are understood by the wilderness, shall see the glory of the Lord; the glorious discoveries and effects of God’s power and goodness to his people. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 35:1-7

TRANSFORMATIONIsaiah 35:1-2; Isaiah 35:7. The wilderness and the solitary place, &c.Chapters 34, 35, form one prediction, first announcing the doom of Edom, and then taking us into a new sphere where all is light, beauty, and gladness; a prediction which had a fulfilment in the return of the Jews from the captivity of Babylon to Jerusalem, which they set above their chiefest joy. But the prophecy is one of those in which the co-called secondary meaning is, in truth, the primary; the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 35:1-10

Chapter 35Now chapter 35 is out of the darkness into the light. Out of the tribulation into the kingdom. The glorious day of the Lord to which we look forward to.

For at that timeThe wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 35:1-10

Isaiah 35:1 . The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad. After giving the people bright hopes of recovery from the devastations of invading armies, the prophet dwells at large on the glory and grace of the Messiah’s kingdom. Dr. Lowth has here left the Versions behind, by reading, “The well-watered plains of Jordan shall rejoice.” His authorities for reading Jordan instead of desert are very few. He has refined on the original, and gaited the pure and beautiful simplicity of the... read more

Isaiah 35:1-10The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for themThe blessings of the GospelThe thirty-fourth and the thirty-fifth chapters of Isaiah are by the best scholars supposed to constitute one entire and complete prophecy, not connected specially, or at least organically, with what goes before or follows.It is a masterpiece of poetry. A single poem divided into two parts; in the first part, the prophet sets forth in lurid colours the universal judgments of God upon all the... read more
