References for Isa 35:3 —  1   2   3 

Isa. 35:1–2 be glad . . . rejoice . . . rejoice with joy and singing. The tone of ch. 35 is established by these verbs and their echoes in v. 10. (See note on 34:1–35:10.) God’s people once made their exodus through a desert (Ex. 15:22; Deut. 1:19), but their final homecoming is through a blooming landscape exploding with joy. The curse of Gen. 3:17–19 will be reversed (see Rom. 8:20–21).

Isa. 35:3–4 Behold, your God will come. Perseverance is possible because of God’s commitment to his people (“your God”) and the trustworthiness of his promise (“will come”).

Isa. 35:5–7 Then . . . then. The prophet points to the promised future, which began with the first coming of Jesus Christ (Luke 4:16–21; 7:18–23) and will be fully completed at his second coming (Rev. 21:4; 22:1–5). the eyes of the blind shall be opened. The salvation that God will provide includes both spiritual well-being and physical wholeness. This was demonstrated repeatedly in Jesus’ own ministry and it will be fully realized in the resurrection bodies of God’s people when Christ returns.

Isa. 35:8–10 a highway. In an environment of joyful abundance, God’s people are led to Zion, singing their way into their eternal home (see 33:8; 34:10).
