Commentary on Isaiah 29:17

Theological / Devotional

Yet a very little while. Isaiah was a prophet of hope as well as of doom. He was a true optimist. He saw not only the darkness of the present but also the glorious light of the future (see on ch. 9:2). Though Judah might perish and its fruitful fields become barren, the time was coming when the earth would again be replenished, when the wilderness would become “a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest” (ch. 32:15; see also chs. 35:1; 41:17-19; 55:13).
