Entonces el cojo saltará como un ciervo; y alabará la lengua del mudo; porque aguas serán cavadas en el desierto, y arroyos en la soledad.
Matthew Henry Commentary
- God's vengeance against the enemies of his church. (Is. 34:1-8) Their desolation. (Is. 34:9-17)
Is. 34:1-8 Here is a prophecy of the wars of the Lord, all which ar both righteous and successful. All nations are concerned. And as the have all had the benefit of his patience, so all must expect to fee his resentment. The description of bloodshed suggests tremendous idea of the Divine judgments. Idumea here denotes the nations at enmity with the church; also the kingdom of antichrist. Our thoughts cannot reac the horrors of that awful season, to those found opposing the church of Christ. There is a time fixed in the Divine counsels for the deliverance of the church, and the destruction of her enemies. We mus patiently wait till then, and judge nothing before the time. Throug Christ, mercy is exercised to every believer, consistently with justice, and his name is glorified.
Is. 34:9-17 Those who aim to ruin the church, can never do that, but will ruin themselves. What dismal changes sin can make! It turns fruitful land into barrenness, a crowded city into a wilderness. Let u compare all we discover in the book of the Lord, with the dealings of providence around us, that we may be more diligent in seeking the kingdom of God and his righteousness. What the mouth of the Lord ha commanded, his Spirit will perform. And let us observe how the evidences of the truth continually increase, as one prophecy afte another is fulfilled, until these awful scenes bring in more happ days. As Israel was a figure of the Christian church, so the Edomites their bitter enemies, represent the enemies of the kingdom of Christ God's Jerusalem may be laid in ruins for a time, but the enemies of the church shall be desolate for ever _________________________________________________
