And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the
thirsty
land springs of water
Such persons who have been like the parched earth, barren and
unfruitful, or like the earth scorched with the sun, filled with
a sense of divine wrath, and thirsting, like the dry earth, after
the grace of God, Christ, and his righteousness, shall be
comforted and refreshed, and filled with the grace of God: or
such who have been scorched and parched with the heat of
persecution, from the antichristian party, and have been
thirsting after deliverance from it, shall now enjoy peace and
prosperity: in the habitation of dragons, where each
lay;
in kingdoms, cities, and towns, inhabited by men, comparable to
dragons for their poison and cruelty; where the great red dragon
Satan had his seat; and the Pagan emperors, and Papal powers, who
have exercised the authority, power, and cruelty of the dragon,
dwell; see ( Revelation
12:3 Revelation
12:4 Revelation
12:9 Revelation
12:15 Revelation
12:17 ) ( Revelation
13:11 Revelation
13:12 ) : [shall be] grass, with reeds and
rushes;
persons shall spring up, partakers of the grace of God, who, for
their number and flourishing estate, shall be like the green
grass; and others, still more eminent for their gifts and
usefulness, like reeds, or canes and rushes; see ( Isaiah 44:3 ) (
Revelation 9:4 ) .
