The term "redeemed" indicates those who have been delivered or bought back by God, emphasizing His role as a redeemer. This concept is echoed in other scriptures such as <a href="/isaiah/43.htm">Isaiah 43:1</a> and <a href="/psalms/107-2.htm">Psalm 107:2</a>, where God’s deliverance is a central theme. The return to Zion is both a literal and spiritual journey, representing the ultimate redemption through Christ, who is seen as the Redeemer in the New Testament (<a href="/ephesians/1-7.htm">Ephesians 1:7</a>).and enter Zion with singing Zion, often synonymous with Jerusalem, is the holy city and represents the presence of God. Entering Zion with singing signifies a triumphant and joyful return, a common biblical motif for deliverance and victory (<a href="/psalms/126.htm">Psalm 126:1-2</a>). Singing is an expression of worship and gratitude, reflecting the joy of salvation and the fulfillment of God’s promises. This imagery is also prophetic of the New Jerusalem described in <a href="/revelation/21.htm">Revelation 21</a>, where believers will eternally dwell with God.crowned with everlasting joy The crown symbolizes honor, victory, and divine favor. Everlasting joy indicates a joy that is not temporary but eternal, a promise of the enduring happiness found in God’s presence. This joy is contrasted with the temporary pleasures of the world and is a recurring theme in the Psalms and the New Testament (<a href="/philippians/4-4.htm">Philippians 4:4</a>). It points to the ultimate joy found in the salvation and eternal life offered through Jesus Christ.Gladness and joy will overtake them This phrase emphasizes the overwhelming nature of the joy and gladness that will be experienced. It suggests a complete transformation from previous states of despair or suffering. The use of "overtake" implies that this joy is not just received but actively pursues and envelops the redeemed. This is reminiscent of the joy described in the parables of Jesus, such as the Prodigal Son (<a href="/luke/15-11.htm">Luke 15:11-32</a>), where joy follows reconciliation and restoration.and sorrow and sighing will flee Sorrow and sighing represent the pain, grief, and burdens of life, often associated with exile and separation from God. Their fleeing signifies a complete removal of these negative experiences, replaced by the joy of redemption. This transformation is a key aspect of the Messianic hope, where the coming of the Messiah brings an end to suffering (<a href="/revelation/21-4.htm">Revelation 21:4</a>). It reflects the ultimate victory over sin and death achieved through Christ’s resurrection, offering believers hope for a future free from sorrow.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_redeemed_of_the_lord.htm">The Redeemed of the LORD</a> Refers to those whom God has saved or delivered.

The outward imagery probably had its starting-point in the processions of the pilgrims who came up to the Temple singing psalms, like those known as the "songs of degrees" at their successive halting-places (Psalms 120-134).Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.--The words have a special interest as being the closing utterance of Isaiah's political activity, written, therefore, probably, in his old age, and in the midst of much trouble, whether he wrote at the close of Hezekiah's reign, or the beginning of Manasseh's, which must have been sufficiently dark and gloomy. (See <a href="/2_chronicles/32-26.htm" title="Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not on them in the days of Hezekiah.">2Chronicles 32:26</a>; <a href="/context/2_chronicles/33-1.htm" title="Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem:">2Chronicles 33:1-10</a>.) The hopes of the prophet were, however, inextinguishable, and they formed a natural starting-point for the words: "Comfort ye, comfort ye, my people," with which the second collection opens, the intermediate chapters being obviously of the nature of an historical appendix. They find their echo in <a href="/revelation/7-17.htm" title="For the Lamb which is in the middle of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them to living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.">Revelation 7:17</a>, "God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/35.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 10. - The ransomed of the Lord shall return.
