The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
Isaiah 35: 1, 7

The desert in verse 1 is literally “arabah,” the arid Jordan Valley rift from the salty Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aquaba, where historically nothing has ever grown. In 1970s they drilled and hit a pressurized subterranean pool of fresh water. Water is springing out of arabah rocks without pumps. Grass, reeds and rushes grow around pools of water in the once desolate area.

He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
Israel 27: 6  

And I will bring Israel again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel…
Jeremiah 50:19

Israeli agriculture exports from the Arabah hundreds of thousands of tons of highest quality produce to Europe under the brand label "Carmel."  Israel exports cut flowers packaged in bulk packages marked "Carmel Flowers." The average cow there produces more milk than an American cow does.
