  1. All the ways of being happy<\/em>. There is quite a plethora of verbs describing joy and gladness: \u201cThe arid desert shall be glad, The wilderness shall rejoice …It shall blossom abundantly, exult and shout\u2026 And come with shouting to Zion, Crowned with joy everlasting. They shall attain joy and gladness\u2026\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Those who need strengthening<\/em>. You\u2019ll find them in verses 3-4: the tottering knees, the hands that are slack, and the anxious of heart. What will strengthen them? Not just promises of relief, but: \u201cSay to the anxious of heart, \u201cBe strong, fear not; Behold your God! Requital is coming, The recompense of God\u2014 He Himself is coming to give you triumph.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Seeing, and hearing<\/em>. That\u2019s redemption (verse 5). Because the destruction, it will be remembered, is about blindness, unwillingness to listen, and hard-heartedness.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Regards from the desert generation<\/em>. This isn\u2019t the first time that the way to the Land of Israel passes through the desert. But the differences are striking. There isn\u2019t really a desert. There\u2019s a clear holy path. And no sin.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Promo – or epilogue<\/em>? Is the prophecy in this chapter essentially a foreshadowing of the prophecies of consolation that we will meet beginning in 5 more chapters (40), or – is it more the epilogue of the prophecies of Isaiah that we have been reading for the past few weeks? There are arguments on both sides.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","image":{"ID":86314,"id":86314,"title":"Points to
