<p id="Isa35_1"><a onclick="return mV('Isa',35,'1-10');">Isa 35:1-10</a>. CONTINUATION OF THE PROPHECY IN THE THIRTY-FOURTH CHAPTER.
|
|
<p>See on JFB for <a href="./Comm/jfb/Isa/Isa034.html#Isa34_1">Isa 34:1</a>, <i>introduction</i> there.
|
|
<p><b>1. solitary place</b>—literally, "a dry place," without springs of water. A <i>moral</i> wilderness is meant.
|
|
<br><br><b>for them</b>—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 (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',55,12);">Isa 55:12</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>rose</b>—rather, "the meadow-saffron," an autumnal flower with bulbous roots; so <i>Syriac</i> translation.
|
|
<p id="Isa35_2"><b>2. glory of Lebanon</b>—its ornament, namely, its cedars (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',10,34);">Isa 10:34</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>excellency of Carmel</b>—namely, its beauty.
|
|
<br><br><b>Sharon</b>—famed for its fertility.
|
|
<br><br><b>see...glory of the Lord...excellency</b>— (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',40,5,9);">Isa 40:5, 9</a>). While the wilderness which had neither "glory" nor "excellency" shall have both "given to it," the Lord shall have all the "glory" and "excellency" ascribed to <i>Him,</i> not to the transformed wilderness (<a onclick="return mV('Mat',5,16);">Mat 5:16</a>).
|
|
<p id="Isa35_3"><b>3. Strengthen...hands...confirm ...knees</b>—The <i>Hebrew</i> for "strengthen" refers to the strength residing in the <i>hand</i> for grasping and holding a thing manfully; "confirm," to the firmness with which one keeps his ground, so as not to be dislodged by any other [MAURER]. Encourage the Jews, now desponding, by the assurance of the blessings promised.
|
|
<p id="Isa35_4"><b>4. fearful</b>—"hasty," <i>Margin;</i> that is, with a heart fluttered with agitation.
|
|
<br><br><b>with</b>—the <i>Hebrew</i> is more forcible than the <i>English Version:</i> "God will come, vengeance! even God, a recompense!" The sense is the same.
|
|
<p id="Isa35_5"><b>5, 6.</b> Language figuratively, descriptive of the joy felt at the deliverance from Assyria and Babylon; literally, true of the antitypical times of Messiah and His miracles (see <i>Margin references,</i> <a onclick="return mV('Mat',11,5);">Mat 11:5</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Luk',7,2);">Luk 7:2</a>; <a onclick="return mV('2Jo',1,5,8);">2Jo 1:5, 8</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Act',3,2);">Act 3:2</a>).
|
|
<p id="Isa35_6"><b>6. leap</b>—literally, "fulfilled" (<a onclick="return mV('Act',3,8);">Act 3:8</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Act',14,10);">14:10</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>sing</b>—joyful thanksgiving.
|
|
<br><br><b>in...wilderness...waters</b>— (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',41,18);">Isa 41:18</a>).
|
|
<p id="Isa35_7"><b>7. parched ground</b>—rather, "the mirage (<i>Hebrew, Sharab,</i> 'the sun's heat') shall become a (real) lake." The sun's rays refracted on the glowing sands at midday give the appearance of a take of water and often deceive the thirsty traveller (compare <a onclick="return mV('Jer',2,13);">Jer 2:13</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Isa',41,18);">Isa 41:18</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>dragons</b>—rather, "jackals."
|
|
<br><br><b>each</b>—namely, jackal.
|
|
<br><br><b>grass</b>—rather, "<i>a dwelling</i> or <i>receptacle</i> (answering to the previous habitation) for reeds," etc. (which only grow where there is water, <a onclick="return mV('Job',8,11);">Job 8:11</a>). Where once there was no water, water shall abound.
|
|
<p id="Isa35_8"><b>8. highway</b>—such a causeway (<i>raised way,</i> from a <i>Hebrew</i> root, "to cast up") as was used for the march of armies; valleys being filled up, hills and other obstructions removed (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',62,10);">Isa 62:10</a>; compare <a onclick="return mV('Isa',40,3,4);">Isa 40:3-4</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>way of holiness</b>—Hebraism for "the holy way." HORSLEY translates, "the way of the Holy One;" but the words that follow, and <a onclick="return mV('Isa',35,10);">Isa 35:10</a>, show it is the way leading the redeemed back to Jerusalem, both the literal and the heavenly (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',52,1);">Isa 52:1</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Joe',3,17);">Joe 3:17</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Rev',21,27);">Rev 21:27</a>); still Christ at His coming again shall be the Leader on the way, for which reason it is called, "The way <i>of the Lord</i>" (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',40,3);">Isa 40:3</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Mal',3,1);">Mal 3:1</a>).
|
|
<br><br><b>it shall be for those: the wayfaring men</b>—rather, "He (the Holy One) shall be with them, walking in the way" [HORSLEY].
|
|
<br><br><b>though fools</b>—rather, "And (even) fools," that is, the simple shall not go astray, namely, because "He shall be with them" (<a onclick="return mV('Mat',11,25);">Mat 11:25</a>; <a onclick="return mV('1Cr',1,'26-28');">1Cr 1:26-28</a>).
|
|
<p id="Isa35_9"><b>9. No lion</b>—such as might be feared on the way through the wilderness which abounded in wild beasts, back to Judea. Every danger shall be warded off the returning people (<a onclick="return mV('Isa',11,'6-9');">Isa 11:6-9</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Eze',34,25);">Eze 34:25</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Hsa',2,18);">Hsa 2:18</a>). Compare spiritually, <a onclick="return mV('Pro',3,17);">Pro 3:17</a>.
|
|
<p id="Isa35_10"><b>10.</b> Language: literally, applying to the return from Babylon; figuratively and more fully to the completed redemption of both literal and spiritual Israel.
|
|
<br><br><b>joy upon...heads</b>— (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',126,2);">Psa 126:2</a>). Joy manifested in their countenances. Some fancy an allusion to the custom of pouring oil "upon the head," or wearing chaplets in times of public festivity (<a onclick="return mV('Ecc',9,8);">Ecc 9:8</a>).
