Isaiah 32:15

Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.

Until the Spirit be poured upon us from on high. This can only partially apply to the spiritual revival in Hezekiah's time; its full accomplishment belongs to the Christian dispensation, first at Pentecost (; ), perfectly in coming times (; ; ; ), when the Spirit shall be poured on Israel, and though it on the Gentiles ().

And the wilderness be a fruitful field ... - when Judea, so long waste, shall be populous and fruitful, and the land of the enemies of God shall be desolate. Or, 'the field now fruitful shall be but as a barren forest in comparison with what it shall be then.' The barren shall become fruitful by regeneration: thee already regenerate shall bring forth fruits in such abundance that their former life shall seem but as a wilderness where no fruits were ('Queen Elizabeth's Bible'). I prefer the former view: cf. , note. Hypocrites, who now are counted as a "fruitful field," shall then "be counted for a forest" - i:e., shall be manifested in their true unfruitfulness. Compare : also , note above.
