Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 41:18

Theological / Devotional

A pool of water. Those parts of earth to which the blessings of the gospel have not come, Isaiah often pictures as dry and arid regions in need of the refreshing water of divine grace (chs. 12:3; 35:6, 7; 43:19, 20; 44:3). Here the prophet’s vision is carried forward to the great work God will accomplish in bringing the message of His grace to lands now dry and barren (see on Eze. 47:1, 8, 9; see pp. 27-30, 35; see also Isa. 35:6, 7; 41:18; 44:3). Christ is the water of life for a thirsty world (John 4:14, 15; John 7:37; see Rev. 22:1-3; cf. Zech. 13:1). It is literally true also that this once beautiful world has, in many places, become parched and barren.
