NASB | Isaiah 35:8 A highway will be there, a roadway, And it will be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean will not travel on it, But it will be for him who walks that way, And fools will not wander on it. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Isaiah 35:8 A highway will be there, and a roadway; And it will be called the Holy Way. The unclean will not travel on it, But it will be for those who walk on the way [the redeemed]; And fools will not wander on it. |
Bible Question: The Highway here mentioned...is it not different from the strait and narrow way Jesus mentioned in Matthew 7:13-14? |
Bible Answer: Hello, This could be interpreted two primary ways. First historically. Isaiah may be talking about the Roman highways, specifically the King's highway that traveled near Israel. The second is in reference to Jesus. I don't think this is talking about the straight and narrow path which Jesus Describes. I think it is the path that Jesus walked. Nearer to his death, Jesus tells Peter that Peter will not be able to walk in his steps and not be able to go where Jesus goes. That maybe what Isaiah is referring to. Because this is a Holy Highway, only the Holy may travel on it. Since Jesus is the only true "Holy One", then this highway maybe his. Jesusman |
