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 Almighty, and the excellency of our Creator.
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 Creator will come with vengeance, even the Creator 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 Almighty shall return, and come to Jerusalem with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Isaiah chapter 35 summary
The prophetic chapter paints a vivid picture of the transformation that awaits the House of Akobe. This transformation symbolizes a blossoming wilderness and desert as a metaphor for their spiritual rejuvenation. However, this also is in reference to the lands in Jerusalem that are parched and dried like a desert and wilderness. This renewal is marked by abundant joy, singing, and the revelation of the Almighty’s glory.
The passage encourages the House of Akobe to strengthen the weak and comfort the fearful. This assures them that the Creator will come with vengeance and with salvation. It foretells a time when the blind will see and the deaf will hear. The lame will walk, and the mute will sing. Miraculous events in the wilderness, such as water springs and lush vegetation, are promised.
A “way of holiness” is described, as a path untainted by uncleanness. This place is where even those considered foolish will not find it. It is a place of safety and redemption, free from danger and filled with joy.
The chapter concludes with a vision of the ransomed of the Almighty returning to Jerusalem with songs and everlasting joy. Sorrow and sighing will be replaced with happiness and gladness. The House of Akobe will experience a profound spiritual and physical transformation.
This is the summary of Isaiah chapter 35, Glory to the King of the House of Akobe.
