Teaching Points Joy in RestorationThe call to "break forth in joy" reminds us that God's restoration brings profound joy. As believers, we are encouraged to rejoice in the spiritual restoration we have through Christ. God's Comfort The comfort of the LORD is a recurring theme. In times of personal desolation, we can find solace in God's promises and His presence. Redemption through Christ Just as God redeemed Jerusalem, He has redeemed us through Jesus Christ. This redemption is both a present reality and a future hope. Community in Worship The call to "sing together" highlights the importance of communal worship. As a church, we are called to unite in praise and thanksgiving for God's work in our lives. Hope in Desolation Even in the "ruins," there is hope. God's promises assure us that desolation is not the end, but a precursor to His redemptive work.(9) Ye waste places of Jerusalem . . .--The history of the return of the exiles in Ezra 1, 3, seems a somewhat poor and prosaic fulfilment of the glorious vision; but it lies in the nature of the case, that the words of the prophet, contemplating the distant future, idealise that return, and connect it unconsciously, it may be, with another city than the earthly Jerusalem.Verse 9. - Ye waste places of Jerusalem (comp. Isaiah 44:26; Isaiah 49:19; Isaiah 64:10, 11). The city had not been wholly destroyed. Only the temple, the royal palace, and the houses of the nobles had been "burnt with fire" (2 Kings 25:9; 2 Chronicles 36:19). The poorer houses had been left. Even these, however, must in the space of fifty years have for the most part fallen into decay. The ruins are now called upon to join in the general chorus of rejoicing, as they rise from their ashes. Hath comforted... hath redeemed. Perfects of prophetic certitude. Parallel Commentaries ...
