Read Isaiah 35.
After all the prophesied devastation in chapter 34, the message continues with
the rest of the story. What a difference Jesus will make when He rules
during the kingdom age!
1. The land. (vv.1-2, 6b-7)
In that day of Messiah's reign, the desert areas of Israel will flourish with
abundant agriculture. But notice that it is not the crops that will cause
the rejoicing. The glory of the LORD in all His majesty will be visible
to everyone. He will receive full credit due Him for these blessings.
2. The weak. (vv.3-4)
Those who endured the hard times and those who folded in fear, will be
strengthened and encouraged.
3. The infirmed. (vv.5-6a)
All physical maladies will have been remedied by the Great Physician.
4. The redeemed. (vv.7-10)
The righteous will make their way to Jerusalem to worship the King. Even
the road will be called the Way of Holiness. The pilgrims will journey
safely, singing praises along the way.
Oh, how we look forward to this time of world peace. Individually, those
who know the Savior enjoy peace with God right now and can enjoy the promise of
Jesus' personal peace. "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to
you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts
be troubled, neither let them be afraid." (John 14:27)
