Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 32:15

Theological / Devotional

Spirit be poured. These words were partially fulfilled in the great reformation sponsored by Hezekiah, but more completely so at the time of Pentecost (Joel 2:28; Acts 2:17; see also Hosea 6:3; Joel 2:23; Zech. 10:1; Rev. 18:1).

Fruitful field. Primarily, at least, a figurative expression (Isa. 32:16; cf. Isa. 5:1-7; Gal. 5:22, 23). The time would come when there would be outpourings of God’s Spirit upon the world, which would cause regions spiritually barren and desolate to blossom as the rose. This is one of Isaiah’s favorite themes (Isa. 29:17 ; 35:1; 41:17-20; 55:13).
