...and Restoration! (Isaiah 35)
Fortunately, judgement is not the last word in God’s plan, nor is it His ultimate aim. After the apocalyptic vision of the Day of YHWH sending creation back to its primordial state, we get the vision of restoration. God is going to set things, not just back to how they were at creation, but to how they should be in the Kingdom.
The desert will bloom and flourish.
The weak and anxious will be strengthened and comforted.
The blind, deaf, and lame shall see, hear and leap.
Burning sand will become green grass.
God will establish a path that even fools can find and follow. We shall live as we were intended to, and we will find safety in a perfect kingdom where we were created to thrive. Gladness and joy shall replace sorrow and sighing forever.
