① “The wilderness and the parched land rejoice” On the day when Zion is newly restored, there will be joy in it.
This is a grace in contrast to the land of Edom, the enemy on the other side, which is judged by God and becomes a wasteland.
(34:9-15)
② “The desert blooms and rejoices like the lilies”
“Desert” To the wild barren land of the Jordan Valley, even this desert will be transformed into a land of joy as the beautiful lilies sing on a warm spring day.
2). “Blooming and rejoicing with joyful songs, the glory of Lebanon and the beauty of Carmel and Sharon.”
On the day when Zion is restored anew, its “beauty” will be enjoyed again. (See 33:9)
3). “They shall see the glory of the LORD, the beauty of our God”
“They” is a personal pronoun, meaning “the people of Zion.”
※ Following the recovery of nature, it is the recovery of humans. The people of Zion were blessed with the wonderful grace of God that He worked for the land.
You will witness and realize the “beauty of God” anew.
