THE DESERT SHALL REJOICE AND BLOSSOM LIKE THE ROSE. ISAIAH, XXXV. I.
THIS is a beautiful description of that glorious epoch, which Christendom beholds with an eye of faith, and in which the world will finally rejoice. The time is rapidly advancing, when the outcasts of Israel and the dispersed of Judah will be gathered together, from the four quarters of the globe, to the ancient land of promise. They will wail because of him, whom their forefathers have pierced, and will flee to the standard of the cross. This great event will usher in the aurora of that happy day, which prophets, time immemorial, have predicted, and which poets, with raptures, have often sun.
The children of Abraham, who arc now despised, as the mere offscouring of the earth, will then be revered as the favoured of heaven. Ten men at that time, out of all languages of the nations, will even take hold of the skirt of him, who is a Jew, and will say to him, we will go with you; for we have heard that God is with you. The kingdoms of the world will become the kingdoms of Immanuel. The knowledge of the Lord will cover the earth, as the waters cover the depths of the sea, The great family of man will become a family of brethren. Every knee will bow in the name of Jesus. Every tongue will confess that he is Lord, to the glory of the God supreme. The fear of Jehovah will dwell in every heart, and tranquillity and happiness in every dominion of the globe.
