旧约 - 以赛亚书(Isaiah)第35章

The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus,
it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God.
Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way;
say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you."
Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert.
The burning sand will become a pool, the thirsty ground bubbling springs. In the haunts where jackals once lay, grass and reeds and papyrus will grow.
And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it.
No lion will be there, nor will any ferocious beast get up on it; they will not be found there. But only the redeemed will walk there,
and the ransomed of the LORD will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads. Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will 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?
