旧约 - 以赛亚书(Isaiah)第35章

The 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 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.
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 recompence; he will come and save you.
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
以赛亚书第卅五章   赛 35 章 > 这里体现了神的公义和怜悯…… 

  35 章 在第 1 至 34 章中因为人们对抗神,以赛亚来对他们传达了神对万国审判的信息,包括对以色列人和犹大人。当中虽然为存留的忠实信徒闪现了得释放和返回的希望,但占主导地位的信息是神对人的罪恶的烈怒、审判和毁灭。现在以赛亚将神美妙应许的异象告诉人们,鼓励人们悔改。神在审判中是严厉的也是充满怜悯的。神的道德完美无瑕,这从祂憎恶所有的罪中显示了出来,并因此有了神对罪的审判。祂的完美无瑕也在祂对祂所造之物的慈爱中显示了出来。对那些犯了罪但诚心爱耶稣,并信靠祂的人,祂便施怜悯。 

  赛 35 章 > 好一幅欢喜快乐的景象…… 

  35 章 本章是一幅神建立自己的正义,最终摧毁邪恶的国度的描述。这是一个被救赎的世界,被造者将在神那里尽享欢乐。第 34 章说到在神审判所有人的时候的大灾难。第 35 章勾画了一幅最终和平、一切风调雨顺之时的生活图画。迦密和沙仑是盛产菜蔬的沃土,他们是生产和富裕的象征。 

  赛 35:8-10> 那条圣路在哪里?通往何处?
