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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 35:3

"Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; he will come and save you."As Payne wrote, "`Vengeance' today has a negative and unproductive ring about it; but vengeance and recompense belong together. The world cannot be put to rights and the era of peace be brought in without both the banishment and punishment of the wicked, and also the blessing of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 35:5

"Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert."Again, we point out that the great promise in Isaiah 35:4 is, "Behold, your God will come ... and save you." Very well, the people who heard that would wish to know, above everything else, WHEN will it happen? Isaiah 35:5 answers the question. Look at the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 35:7

"And the glorying sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water: in the habitation of jackals, where they lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes."This language is very similar to the promises in the first few verses of the chapter and carry exactly the same meaning, indicating the contrast between the conditions where men are in rebellion against God and the far better times which result from men's submission to God's will. It is no accident that, all over the world,... read more

THE HIGHWAY FOR THE REDEEMED"And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called the way of holiness; and the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for the redeemed: the wayfaring men, yea fools, shall not err therein. No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up thereon; they shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there: and the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads:... read more

CHAP. XXXV. The joyful flourishing of Christ's kingdom. The weak are encouraged by the virtues and privileges of the gospel. Before Christ 713. THE prophet in this chapter, containing the 2nd section of his 3rd discourse, sets forth the jubilee of the church, upon the downfall of its enemies, together with its flourishing state. The section is three-fold; containing, first, a proposition concerning the consolation which the church should receive on account of the judgment upon Edom, together... 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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 35:3-4

Isaiah 35:3-4. Strengthen ye the weak hands— These words seem rightly to be understood as an address of the prophet to the teachers of the church of that time whereof he speaks, exhorting them, from the promise of the certain deliverance and glorious restoration of the oppressed and afflicted church, to comfort the dejected minds of the pious, and raise their drooping spirits. See Hebrews 12:12. read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 35:5-6

Isaiah 35:5-6. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened— After a parenthesis in the two preceding verses, the prophet continues his discourse, and more particularly sets forth those privileges of the church which should constitute its dignity and felicity. These privileges undoubtedly are spiritual; and though they may in some measure be applied to the unexpected vicissitude of the deliverance of the Jews from their enemies, yet were they even literally fulfilled in the times of the Messiah,... read more
