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 35:4

Your God will come; though he seem to be absent, and departed from you, he will come to you, and abide with you. He will shortly come in the flesh. For although this and the following promises may be metaphorically taken, concerning the temporal deliverance of his people from Babylonian and other oppressors; yet they are much more emphatically and literally understood concerning the redemption of God’s people by Jesus Christ, as is sufficiently manifest, both from the words and phrases... 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

DISCOURSE: 913ENCOURAGEMENT TO THE WEAKIsaiah 35:3-4. 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, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you.OUR blessed Lord, as the great Shepherd of the sheep, has set an example to all inferior pastors, how to watch over their flock [Note: Ezekiel 34:11-16. Isaiah 40:11.]. And in the words before us he gives them special... 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. In chapter 35, oh, what a glorious chapter as it speaks of the earth and its conditions when Jesus comes and establishes God's kingdom and He reigns upon the earth. 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

The Biblical Illustrator - Isaiah 35:1-10

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

Isaiah 35:4Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear notComfort for the fearfulPresumption and fear are the Scylla and Charybdis of the Christian life, and it requires Divine guidance, together with all our own watchfulness, to steer safely between them.My object is, to suit the case of those who are well entitled to hope for the Divine mercy through Christ Jesus, but are disquieting themselves, or are disquieted by the enemy with needless fears. 1. “I cannot indulge the hope... read more
