That is exactly right, Axs. This is prophecy of the first coming of Jesus to this earth, as He established the New Testament Covenant.
that desert which blossomed and bloomed was the ones who had not been a people, but are now the people of God, the Gentiles upon whom His Name is called in Baptism.
We were that dry desert, which is now blooming as the Rose, with our Rose of Sharon.
All of these verses are about this true Nation of Jesus which he birthed. He is the one who gave life to us and gave us rivers of living water.
It is a beautiful chapter. It is a beautiful prophecy.
Thanks for the wonderful answer you gave. That is also a great message.
