The joyful flourishing of Christ's kingdom3. The weak are encouraged by the virtues and privileges of the Gospel No lion will be there This phrase signifies a place of safety and peace, free from threats and dangers. In the ancient Near East, lions were common predators and symbolized danger and destruction. The absence of lions indicates a divine protection and a restoration of creation to a state of harmony. This imagery aligns with the prophetic vision of a new creation where natural threats are eliminated, as seen in Isaiah 11:6-9, where the wolf dwells with the lamb. and no vicious beast will go up on it Such will not be found there but the redeemed will walk upon it Persons / Places / Events 1. The RedeemedRefers to those who have been saved or delivered by God. In the context of Isaiah, it often points to the Israelites who are restored and brought back to their land, but it also has a broader application to all who are saved by God's grace. 2. The Highway of Holiness This is the path mentioned earlier in Isaiah 35:8, symbolizing the way of righteousness and purity that leads to God's presence. It is a place of safety and peace, free from danger and evil. 3. Lions and Vicious Beasts Symbolic of danger, evil, and chaos. In the ancient Near East, lions were literal threats, but they also represent spiritual and moral dangers. 4. The Wilderness and Desert The transformation of these places into fertile and safe areas is a recurring theme in Isaiah, symbolizing God's power to bring life and order out of barrenness and chaos. 5. The Return from Exile Historically, this passage is often seen as a prophecy of the return of the Jewish people from Babylonian exile, but it also points to the ultimate redemption through Christ. Teaching Points Safety in God's PresenceThe absence of lions and vicious beasts on the Highway of Holiness illustrates the complete safety and peace found in God's presence. Believers can trust in God's protection as they walk in His ways. The Path of Redemption The redeemed walking on this path signifies the journey of salvation. It is a reminder that our walk with God is one of continual sanctification and holiness. Transformation through God Just as the wilderness is transformed, God can transform our lives, bringing order and life where there was once chaos and barrenness. Hope for the Future This prophecy provides hope for ultimate redemption and restoration, encouraging believers to look forward to the fulfillment of God's promises in Christ.(9) No lion shall be there . . .--We have to remember that the lion had not ceased to haunt the valley of the Jordan, as it had done in the days of Samson (Judges 14:5), and David (1Samuel 17:3-4; 2Samuel 23:20). The recent depopulation of the northern kingdom had probably laid the country more open to their attack (2Kings 17:25), and thus gave a special force to the prophet's description. For "any ravenous beast," read the most ravenous. The redeemed . . . (10) . . . the ransomed.--The Hebrew words express simply the idea of release and freedom, without implying, as the English words do, a payment as its condition. Verse 9. - No lion shall be there. No great tyrannical power, like Assyria (Nahum 2:11, 12) or Babylon, shall arrest the energies of the Church, take it captive, or enslave it. No ravenous beast shall make it his prey. In proportion as the Church is holy (ver. 8) it shall be free from the molestation of bloody persecutors (see Isaiah 11:9). The redeemed - those whom God has purchased for his own (Exodus 6:6; Hosea 13:14) - shall be free to walk there, untroubled by cruel enemies. There is an under-current of comparison between the blessedness of the last times and the existing troubles of Israel, still threatened by Sennacherib.Parallel Commentaries ...
