Commentary on Isaiah 35:1

Theological / Devotional

Desert shall rejoice. This chapter presents an inspired and inspiring picture of the earth in its restored state. The arid and waste regions of the world in its present state will be no more.

The rose. Heb. chabaṣṣeleth, thought by some to have been the narcissus, a popular wildflower of Palestine. Others have identified it with the crocus or primrose. Verses 1, 2 portray the beauty and fragrance of a land that blooms again after being freed from the curse of sin.
