Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
Until the Spirit is poured out on us from heaven, and the desert becomes fertile farmland, and the fertile farmland grows as thick as a forest.
God is promising that He will pour out His Spirit and transform even the most barren places into abundant, flourishing life.
