Jesaja 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).

Jesaja 65:10 In-Context

8 So spricht der HERR: Gleich als wenn man Most in der Traube findet und spricht: "Verderbe es nicht, denn es ist ein Segen darin!", also will ich um meiner Knechte willen tun, daß ich es nicht alles verderbe,
9 sondern will aus Jakob Samen wachsen lassen und aus Juda, der meinen Berg besitze; denn meine Auserwählten sollen ihn besitzen, und meine Knechte sollen daselbst wohnen.
10 Und Saron soll eine Weide für die Herde und das Tal Achor soll zum Viehlager werden meinem Volk, das mich sucht.
11 Aber ihr, die ihr den HERRN verlasset und meines heiligen Berges vergesset und richtet dem Gad einen Tisch und schenkt vom Trankopfer voll ein der Meni,
12 wohlan ich will euch zählen zum Schwert, daß ihr euch alle bücken müßt zur Schlachtung, darum daß ich rief, und ihr antwortetet nicht, daß ich redete, und ihr hörtet nicht, sonder tatet, was mir übel gefiel, und erwähltet, was mir nicht gefiel.
