Commentary on Isaiah 33:21

Theological / Devotional

Broad rivers and streams. A description of the fertility and beauty of the restored Land of Promise. Here are the “river” and “streams” that “make glad the city of God” (Ps. 46:4). Compare Ezekiel’s river (Eze. 47).

No galley. No enemy ships would sail their streams (see Eze. 47:1; Joel 3:18; Zech. 14:8; Rev. 22:1).
