The Pulpit Commentary on Isaiah 10:20-34

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

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 (Isaiah 10:24-27)—when her armies swoop upon Jerusalem, God will swoop down on her (Isaiah 10:28-34).
