On that day
This phrase signifies a specific time of divine intervention and fulfillment of prophecy. In the Hebrew context, "that day" often refers to a future time when God will act decisively in history. It is a day of both judgment and salvation, a theme prevalent throughout the prophetic books. This phrase sets the stage for a transformative event, emphasizing God's sovereignty over time and history.

the remnant of Israel
The concept of a "remnant" is crucial in biblical theology, particularly in the prophetic literature. The Hebrew word for remnant, "she'ar," implies a small, surviving group that remains faithful to God despite widespread apostasy or disaster. This remnant is often seen as the hope for the future, a purified group through whom God will fulfill His promises. Theologically, it underscores God's faithfulness to His covenant, preserving a people for Himself.

and the survivors of the house of Jacob
This phrase parallels the idea of the remnant, emphasizing survival and continuity. The "house of Jacob" refers to the descendants of Jacob, the patriarch whose name was changed to Israel. Historically, this points to the Northern Kingdom's fall and the Southern Kingdom's challenges, yet God preserves a group who will carry forward His covenant promises. It highlights God's mercy and the continuity of His plan through adversity.

will no longer depend on him who struck them
This phrase indicates a shift in allegiance and trust. Historically, Israel often relied on foreign powers or alliances for security, which led to their downfall. The "one who struck them" could refer to Assyria or other oppressive nations. Theologically, it represents a turning away from idolatry and misplaced trust in human power. It is a call to repentance and a return to reliance on God alone.

but will truly rely on the LORD
The Hebrew word for "rely," "sha'an," conveys a sense of leaning on or trusting in. This phrase marks a profound transformation in the people's relationship with God. It is not merely a superficial or temporary trust but a deep, genuine reliance on the LORD. This trust is rooted in the recognition of God's sovereignty, faithfulness, and ability to save. It is a call to faith and dependence on God as the ultimate source of strength and security.

the Holy One of Israel
This title for God emphasizes His holiness, uniqueness, and covenant relationship with Israel. "Holy" in Hebrew, "qadosh," signifies being set apart, pure, and transcendent. The "Holy One of Israel" underscores God's moral perfection and His distinctiveness from the false gods of the nations. It is a reminder of God's commitment to His people and His call for them to be holy as He is holy. This title reassures the remnant of God's unchanging nature and His dedication to His covenant promises.

(20) The remnant of Israel . . .--For the remnant of Assyria there is as yet no word of hope. (See, however, Isaiah 19:23.) For that of Israel, the prophet, falling back on the thought embodied in the name Shear-jashub (see Note on Isaiah 7:3), predicts a brighter future.

Shall no more again stay upon him that smote them.--The smiter is the king of Assyria, whose protection Ahaz and his counsellors had courted instead of trusting in the Holy One of Israel. Their experience of the failure of that false policy should lead them to see that faith in God was, after all, the truest wisdom.

Verses 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 (vers. 20, 21). The remnant, however, shall be but a remnant - judgment shall have overtaken the balk of the people (vers. 22, 23). Still, there is reason for the faithful to take courage and be of good heart; Assyria will shortly receive a check (vers. 24-27) - when her armies swoop upon Jerusalem, God will swoop down on her (vers. 28-34). Verse 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 (2 Chronicles 28:23) that Abaz "sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which smote him" - and we know that he also trusted to Tiglath-Pileser, who "distressed him and strengthened him not" (2 Chronicles 28:21). Among the "remnant" there shall be no such mistaken confidences. But shall stay upon the Lord; i.e. "shall put their trust in God; and him only" (comp. 2 Samuel 22:19; Psalm 18:18).
