Hezekiah's time; its full accomplishment belongs to the Christian
dispensation, first at Pentecost
(Joe 2:28;
Ac 2:17),
perfectly in coming times
(Ps 104:30;
Eze 36:26; 39:29;
Zec 12:10),

(Mic 5:7).
wilderness . . . fruitful field . . . forest--when Judea, so long
waste, shall be populous and fruitful, and the land of the enemies of
God shall be desolate. Or, "the field, now fruitful, shall be but as a
barren forest in comparison with what it shall be then"
(Isa 29:17).
The barren shall become fruitful by regeneration; those already
regenerate shall bring forth fruits in such abundance that their former
life shall seem but as a wilderness where no fruits were.
