Before Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful orchard,
And the fruitful orchard will be counted as a forest?
On that day the deaf will hear words of a book,
And out of darkness and thick darkness the eyes of the blind will see.
The afflicted also will increase their gladness in Yahweh,
And the needy of mankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
For the ruthless will come to an end and the scoffer will be finished,
Indeed all who are watching out to do evil will be cut off;
Who cause a person to sin by a word,
And ensnare him who reproves at the gate,
And defraud the one in the right with meaningless arguments.
— Isaiah 29:17-21 LSB
“The deaf — who were deaf before God by his word and grace did open their ears; even the deaf and blind Gentiles, as was now noted. Compare Isaiah 35:5.
“Shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness — being, by God’s grace, brought out of that gross and worse than Egyptian darkness of ignorance and wickedness, in which they formerly lived, unto a clear and saving knowledge of the truth.”
Is it not yet just a little while
Before Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful orchard,
And the fruitful orchard will be counted as a forest?

And out of darkness and thick darkness the eyes of the blind will see.
The afflicted also will increase their gladness in Yahweh,
And the needy of mankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
For the ruthless will come to an end and the scoffer will be finished,
Indeed all who are watching out to do evil will be cut off;
Who cause a person to sin by a word,
And ensnare him who reproves at the gate,
And defraud the one in the right with meaningless arguments.

I can hardly wait. I believe His Word is absolute.
