Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 35:10

10. And the ransomed of the LORD shall return and come to Zion with songs, and everlasting joy upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away .

They whom God shall Rescue and Redeem from their corporal Slavery in Babylon, and especially from their spiritual Bondage under Sin and Satan.

Shall come again to Zion, from whence they had been carried away Captive. Or, shall return, to wit, to the Lord now mentioned, and come to Zion, i. e. joyn themselves to God's Church and People.

Which Expressions are too magnificent and emphatical, to be satisfied by the return of the Iews from Babylon to their own Land, which was accompanied and followed with many Sighs and Sorrows, as appears, both from sacred and other Historians; and therefore must necessarily be understood of Gospel-times, and of the Joy and Happiness purchased by Christ for his People, begun here, and continued to all Eternity.
