Isaiah 35

We now come to the conclusion of the first half of Isaiah. It is a fitting conclusion as we once again look in vivid detail at the millennial reign of Christ to come. It is a time longed for by all of Israel since God's promise to Abraham. It is a time that all true followers of Jesus long for. A time of true peace, true prosperity and true fertility throughout the earth. Jesus will not establish His glorious kingdom until the final judgment of God is complete. This theme runs throughout the scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. It is a theme made crystal clear by all the prophets. Judgment will always come before the glory. Isaiah brought encouragement to the remnant believers of his day. His words should bring encouragement to the remnant believers of our present day. God promised and delivered Jerusalem from the Assyrians in 701 bc. God promised and returned a remnant of jews from Babylonian exile in 539 bc. God fulfilled all of his prophecies, precisely and exactly, concerning the 1st coming of Jesus. He has fulfilled His promise to Israel concerning their rebirth as a nation. God's word is true. We have every reason to believe that God will fulfill all of His promises concerning the 2nd coming of Jesus.As followers of Jesus, although we live in a world were we are outnumbered and surrounded by the enemy, we have every reason to be filled with hope. Yes the enemy desires above all else to completely destroy us. But in spite of all this, we have hope. Christ in us the hope of eternity. Let us all look up. Our salvation draws near.Maranatha!

1 The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.

2 It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.

3 Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.

4 Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.

5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

6 Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.

7 And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.

8 And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.

9 No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:

10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
