"When theLordturned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream./Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: then said they among the heathen, TheLordhath done great things for them." (vv.1-2)
The Holy Spirit here gives us a specific event, which is the return of exiles from Babylon and extends its significance as the universal case of enmity of flesh with the Spirit being laid to rest. Redemption of our soul is when spiritual bodies replace the physical bodies and the soul stands for the individual and accountable whether it be good or bad before the Lord. Captivity of soul in one sense defines Zion.
" Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins."(Is.40:2)
Restoration of Israel as a historical event gave the nation a brief respite. Prophet Isaiah introduces the voice in the wilderness motif. In their failure to walk 'the highway for our God' shall lead them again to a far more disastrous exile in AD70. We see what they dreamt then was a lie.
Prophet Isaiah speaks of a night vision signifying that God had foreknown it before the worlds began. Moses had predicted of the spirit of deep sleep that kept them from following the commandments of God. "They made me jealous by what is no god and angered me with their worthless idols. I will make them envious by those who are not a people; I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding. " (De.32:21-NIV). It is to which Prophet Isaiah says,"For theLordhath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes."
God shall once again stretch his hand out redeem a holy nation in which a remnant of Israel shall be restored. So the phrase 'we were like them that dream' is overarching to the end-times.
