No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:
No lions will be there, and no dangerous wild animals will travel on that path or be found there at all. Only those who have been rescued by God will walk on it.
God is promising a safe path where only His rescued people can walk, completely free from any danger or threat.
📚 Historical Context
Isaiah 35 is part of a prophetic vision in the book of Isaiah, written during a time when the people of Judah faced threats from powerful empires like Assyria and Babylon, including exile and dangerous journeys through wilderness areas. The verse uses imagery of wild beasts, such as lions, to symbolize the real perils of the desert and the metaphorical dangers posed by enemies, promising a future path of safety for God's people. This reflects the historical hope of restoration for Israel after judgment, pointing to a transformed world under God's rule.
