Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 10:5-34

Chapter Isaiah 10:5-34 Assyria Will Advance And Conquer As A Judgment On God’s People But Will Finally Be Brought Down, For Final Deliverance Is Certain. In the remainder of this chapter is described God’s call on Assyria to fulfil His will and act as His punitive rod, and Assyria’s subsequent arrogance in doing so which will bring judgment rebounding on themselves. This is followed by assurance of final deliverance for God’s people. But before that they must experience the Assyrian advance, read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 10:20-23

3). Afterwards A Remnant of Israel the Northern Kingdom Will Turn Back to God (Isaiah 10:20-23 ). At this time Isaiah’s vision is fixed on Assyria, the mighty power of the day. He sees everything in terms of Assyria as the ‘now’, and what follows as being ‘afterwards’. It is only later that he becomes aware of the shadow of the power of Babylon. Thus what is described here is the ‘afterwards’, without any indication of how long afterwards. It is possibly spoken in the light of the destruction... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 10:5-34

Isaiah 10:5-Nahum : . Assyria’ s Boastfulness and Its Punishment.— This prophecy, so far as it is Isaiah’ s, must be later than the capture of Carchemish in 717 and before Sennacherib’ s invasion in 701. Narrower limits cannot be fixed. Non-Isaianic material appears to be present in it. Isaiah 10:5-Psalms : . Assyria is Yahweh’ s rod to smite any nation that has aroused His anger, but, inspired by lust of blood, plans to exterminate many peoples, and boastfully thinks to destroy Jerusalem... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 10:20

The remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob; such Jews as shall be preserved from that sweeping Assyrian scourge, by which great numbers both of Israel and Judah were destroyed, and from their succeeding calamities. For that this place looks beyond the deliverance from the Assyrian army, and unto the times of the New Testament, seems probable, 1. From the following verses, which belong to that time, as we shall see. 2. From the state of the Jewish nation, which, after... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 10:21

The remnant; or, a remnant; or, but a remnant; or, a remnant only; which particles are oft understood, as hath been formerly and frequently observed, and may be here supplied from the following verses. Unto the mighty God; unto the Messiah, expressly called the mighty God, Isaiah 9:6. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 10:5-34

THE ASSYRIAN INVASION OF JUDAHIsaiah 10:5-34. O Assyrian, the rod of Mine anger, &c.This prophecy may be used to illustrate the following truths of abiding interest. I. The power of empires and the policy of statesmen are all under the control of God. Free-will is one great fact of the universe; an all-controlling providence is another; and God knows how to harmonise both. In investing man with free-will, God did not abdicate the throne of the universe; He still rules, and whether they do... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 10:20

A HAPPY CONVERSIONIsaiah 10:20. And it shall come to pass, &c.Consider, 1. What is said of their former error. When it is said that they “shall no more stay upon him that smote them,” it surely implies that they had done this before: this was their error. They had stayed upon another—upon Assyria as a refuge and defence against the confederacy that threatened Ahaz (chap. Isaiah 7:1-12, Isaiah 8:4-9), just as at other times they relied upon Egypt as a defence against Assyria,—and they were... read more

THE REMNANTS OF SOCIETYIsaiah 10:20-23. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, &c.We can hardly understand such language as this, because in our national life and personal history we have never been subject to those strange mutations which befell the kingdom of Israel. We can hardly understand what it means where a whole nation is torn up by the roots, and carried away into a foreign land; and where, by and by, in the capricious mood of some despot, a portion of... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Isaiah 10:20

that day "That day": often the equivalent of "the day of the Lord" Isaiah 2:10-22; Revelation 19:11-21. The prophecy here passes from the general to the particular, from historic and fulfilled judgments upon Assyria to the final destruction of all Gentile world-power at the return of the Lord in glory. (See "Armageddon," ; Revelation 16:14; Revelation 19:21 "Times of the Gentiles," ; Luke 21:24; Revelation 16:19; Revelation 16:19 "The great tribulation," ; Psalms 2:5; Revelation 7:14;... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 10:1-34

Chapter 10Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless! ( Isaiah 10:1-2 )And this is the thing that upsets me most. I think about these computerized letters and all. If they go out to these poor little widows on Social Security and these little, you know, these people are... read more
