Commentary on Isaiah 65:18

Theological / Devotional

Be ye glad. Even today we can rejoice in the thought of the joys and glories of the world to come. The pictures of a new and better world give strength and courage as we meet the trials of the present. Disappointments and discouragements will be met with better grace if our hearts are set on the abounding joys of the new earth, which is soon to become our home. Dead Sea scroll 1QIs has the two imperatives in the singular, “be thou glad” and “rejoice thou.” However, the ancient versions support the Masoretic text.
