イザヤ書 10:20-21 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Isaiah 10:20-23

The prophet had said (Isa. 10:12) that the Lord would perform his whole work upon Mount Zion and upon Jerusalem, by Sennacherib's invading the land. Now here we are told what that work should be, a twofold work:? I. The conversion of some, to whom this providence should be sanctified and yield the peaceable fruit of righteousness, though for the present it was not joyous, but grievous; these are but a remnant (Isa. 10:22), the remnant of Israel (Isa. 10:20), the remnant of Jacob (Isa. 10:21),... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 10:20

And it shall come to pass in that day ,.... Here begins a prophecy relating to the people of Israel, and concerns things that should befall them after the destruction of the Babylonish monarchy, which after Nebuchadnezzar did not last long; there were but two kings after him mentioned in Scripture, Evilmerodach, and Belshazzar; so that its tall trees, its kings, were very few, so few that a child might count them; and what is after said is for the comfort of that people, and seems to refer... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Isaiah 10:21

The remnant shall return ,.... This is said in allusion to Shearjashub, the name of Isaiah's son, Isaiah 7:3 which signifies "the remnant shall return", and was imposed on him, to give assurance of it; meaning, either that they should return from the Babylonish captivity, as they did, or to God by repentance; or rather the sense is, they shall turn to the Lord, be converted to Christ, to the faith and obedience of him, as some of them were when he came, a few, not all, only a remnant, as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:16-23

Judgment and conversion. I. FIGURES OF JUDGMENT . The Assyrian is viewed under the image of a stout, well-fed body, into which a wasting disease comes by. Divine judgment. Again, that judgment is depicted as a flaming fire, kindling and devouring thorns and making a swift end to the towering beauty of the forest trees, the smiling pleasantness of the fruitful field. The remnant of the host will soon be counted "on one's fingers," as a boy might count the still standing stems in a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:20

In that day ; i.e. "at that time"—the time of the destruction of Assyria. The remnant of Israel (see Isaiah 1:9 ). Isaiah had indicated his firm belief in the existence of this faithful remnant and its return, in the name which he had given to his son, Shear-Jashub (see note on Isaiah 7:3 ). The escaped . Those who escape from the destruction to be caused by the Assyrian invasion. Shall no more again stay upon him that smote them . We are told in the Second Book of Chronicles ( ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:20

Staying upon the Holy One. " The remnant of Israel, and the escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no longer rely upon smiter, but shall rely upon Jehovah, Israel's Holy One, in faithfulness" (Cheyne's translation). The point of the verse is that the remnant of Israel is thoroughly weaned from its false confidences, and returns to the true God. The only hope for preserving the liberties of Judah, Israel, and Syria was for them to combine against the growing power of Assyria. But, instead of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:20-23

Departure and return. The passage suggests— I. THAT THOSE WHO KNOW GOD WELL MAY BE INDUCED TO FORSAKE HIM . Israel had been well taught of God; had been carefully and constantly instructed in Divine truth; had received some lessons which might well have been deeply planted in the mind. Yet Israel forsook Jehovah; ceased to trust in his delivering arm, and sought alliance with Assyria. So we, who should know much better, forsake the Lord, of whose power,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 10:20-34

CONSOLATION FOR THE FAITHFUL IN ISRAEL . The destruction of Assyria shall be followed—how soon, is not said—by the return of a "remnant of Israel," not so much to their own land, as to God ( Isaiah 10:20 , Isaiah 10:21 ). The remnant, however, shall be but a remnant—judgment shall have overtaken the balk of the people ( Isaiah 10:22 , Isaiah 10:23 ). Still, there is reason for the faithful to take courage and be of good heart; Assyria will shortly receive a check ( ... read more
