Isaia 65:10 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 65:10

And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks
This was a champaign country about Joppa and Lydda, in which were rich pastures for herds and flocks, ( 1 Chronicles 27:29 ) , it seems to be a prophecy of the conversion of some in those parts, which had its accomplishment in the times of the apostles, ( Acts 9:35 ) , here Christ had his sheep, and here was a fold for them; or, however, this may be expressive of the word and ordinances, which are like Sharon, green and fat pastures, for the flocks of Christ to be folded and fed in: and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in;
which, Aben Ezra says, was round about Jerusalem; but it was the valley in which Achan was stoned, and because of the trouble he gave to Israel, and had himself, it was called the valley of Achor, ( Joshua 7:26 ) , this the Lord promises shall be given for a door of hope, ( Hosea 2:15 ) and such the word and ordinances are, where Christ causes his church and people to lie down and rest, ( Song of Solomon 1:7 Song of Solomon 1:8 ) ( Psalms 23:2 ) and which are an earnest and pledge of future glory and happiness, and give hope thereof; are the firstfruits of it, as the valley of Achor is said to be the first place the children of Israel set footing on, when they had passed over Jordan; it lay to the north of Jericho, over against Ai: for my people that have sought me;
with their whole hearts, being first sought and found by him; (See Gill on Isaiah 65:1).

Isaia 65:10 In-Context

8 Così parla l’Eterno: Come quando si trova del succo nel grappolo si dice: "Non lo distruggere perché lì v’è una benedizione", così farò io, per amor de’ miei servi, e non distruggerò tutto.

9 Io farò uscire da Giacobbe una progenie e da Giuda un erede dei miei monti; e i eletti possederanno il paese, e i miei servi v’abiteranno.

10 Saron sarà un chiuso di greggi, e la valle d’Acor, un luogo di riposo alle mandre, per il mio popolo che m’avrà cercato.

11 Ma voi, che abbandonate l’Eterno, che dimenticate il monte mio santo, che apparecchiate la mensa a Gad ed empite la coppa del vin profumato a Meni,

12 io vi destino alla spada, e vi chinerete tutti per essere scannati; poiché io ho chiamato, e voi non avete risposto; ho parlato, e voi non avete dato ascolto; ma avete fatto ciò ch’è male agli occhi miei, e avete preferito ciò che mi dispiace.
