Isaiah
"The ransomed of the LORD shall return"
Text: Isaiah 35:10
THE RETURN OF THE RANSOMED
This prophecy is uplifting to the faithful who believe in God’s deliverance. The total fulfilment of this prophecy is yet future.
“A highway shall be there, and a road,
And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.
The unclean shall not pass over it,
But it shall be for others.
Whoever walks the road, although a fool,
Shall not go astray.
No lion shall be there,
Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it;
It shall not be found there.
But the redeemed shall walk there,
And the ransomed of the LORD shall return,
And come to Zion with singing,
With everlasting joy on their heads.
They shall obtain joy and gladness,
And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.”
