Isaiah 35 is a picture
of The Bride of Christ, the Woman of Revelation 12,
Having been taken by
God into the desert on the wings of an eagle;
And there protected by
God for the three and on-half year duration
Of The Great
Tribulation:
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 tongue of the dumb 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 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.
(Isaiah 35 NIV)
