Isaiah 65:10

"I will bring offspring out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains. My chosen will inherit it, and my servants will dwell there."

Key Reflection

Isaiah 65:10 speaks of the future restoration and blessing promised to Israel. The verse envisions a time when God's people will once again flourish, with offspring from Jacob (representing the northern tribes) and Judah (the southern tribe) inheriting His divine blessings. Specifically, those whom God has chosen and their servants will dwell on His holy mountains, indicating both spiritual elevation and physical restoration to their promised land. This promise underscores God's enduring commitment to His people despite their past rebellion and forgetting of His ways.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And Sharon -Sharon was properly a district south of Mount Carmel, along the coast of the Mediterranean, and extending from. Caesarea to Joppa. In the Scripture, this is almost a proverbial name to denote extraordinary beauty and fertility (see the notes atIsaiah 30:9;Isaiah 32:5). Shall be a fold of flocks -At the time contemplated here by the prophet - the close of the exile - that whole country would have lain waste about seventy years. Of course, during that long period it would be spread over with a wild luxuriance of trees and shrubs. Once it was celebrated pasture-ground, and was exceedingly beautiful as a place for flocks and herds.
