Matthew Poole and continuators on Isaiah 35:4

4. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not▪ behold, your God will come with vengeance , even God with a recompence, he will come and save you.

Though he seem to be absent▪ and departed from you, he will come to you, and abide with you. He will shortly come in the flesh. For although this, and the following Promises may be Metaphorically taken, concerning the temporal Deliverance of his People from Babylonian and other Oppressors; yet they are much more Emphatically and Literally understood concerning the Redemption of God's People by Jesus, as is sufficiently manifest, both from the Words and Phrases themselves, and from divers places of the New-Testament, where they are so expounded by Christ and the Apostles.

To execute Vengeance upon the Enemies of God, and of his People: Which also was verified in Christ, who was Set for the fall, as well as for the rising of many in Israel, Luk. 2. 34. and who did accordingly▪ inflict most dreadful Judgments, both temporal and spiritual▪ upon the unbelieving and apostate Iews, who were the great Persecutors of Christ, and of his People.
