In Bible times, never did an army go out to war, win that war, and return empty handed.
Now, the Jews correctly see this chapter as a vivid description of Israel's restoration and their return to Israel when they left their captivity in Babylon.
But as believers today, most Bible teachers see this chapter also as a portion of Scripture dealing prophetically with the Millennium--the future 1000 years of peace and prosperity that will cover the earth when the Lord returns to earth and reigns with righteous judgment
Isaiah 35:1-2 NKJV
Lebanon was known for its great cedars in its mountains
So this speaks of strength
Carmel's pastures were known for their beauty
So this speaks of beauty in character inside and out
Sharons' plans were known for their fertility
So this speaks of increase and production
Isaiah 35:2 NKJV
Prosperity always is for far more than yourself
Isaiah 35:3-4 NKJV
Hebrews 11:17-19 NKJV
God displays His glory and splendor in our prosperity
Isaiah 35:5-6 NKJV
Malachi 4:2 NKJV
Psalms 103:3 NKJV
Isaiah 53:5 NKJV
The cross not only gave us the right to salvation, but the right to physical healing
The front of the cross, where the nails and the spear went, brought us salvation
The back of the cross was for our healing
Mark 5:24-34 NKJV
So we need to be like the woman with the issue of blood and appropriate healing into our lives based on our faith
