It emphasizes the vast number of Israelites, highlighting God's faithfulness in fulfilling His covenant. However, it also sets the stage for the contrast between the multitude and the remnant, underscoring the seriousness of the impending judgment. only a remnant will return Destruction has been decreed overflowing with righteousness Persons / Places / Events 1. IsraelThe nation chosen by God, often referred to as His people. In this context, Israel is facing judgment due to their disobedience. 2. Remnant A small, faithful group of Israelites who will return to God after a period of judgment and exile. This concept is central to understanding God's mercy and faithfulness. 3. Assyria The dominant empire during Isaiah's time, used by God as an instrument of judgment against Israel. 4. Isaiah The prophet who delivered God's message to Israel, warning them of impending judgment and offering hope through the promise of a remnant. 5. Judgment The divine decree of destruction due to Israel's sin, yet it is described as "overwhelming and righteous," indicating God's just nature. Teaching Points God's Faithfulness Amidst JudgmentDespite the severity of judgment, God remains faithful to His promises by preserving a remnant. This teaches us about His unchanging nature and mercy. The Importance of Faithfulness The concept of a remnant highlights the importance of remaining faithful to God, even when the majority turn away. Righteous Judgment God's decrees are always righteous, even when they involve destruction. This challenges us to trust in His justice and sovereignty. Hope in Restoration The promise of a remnant offers hope for restoration and renewal, encouraging believers to look forward to God's redemptive work. Personal Reflection on Obedience This passage invites us to examine our own lives and consider whether we are part of the faithful remnant, living in obedience to God.(22) Though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea.--The word "remnant" has, however, its aspect of severity as well as of promise. Men are not to expect that they, the hypocrites and evil-doers, shall escape their punishment. The promise of restoration is for the remnant only. (Comp. St. Paul's application of the text in Romans 9:27-28). The consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.--Literally, a finished (or final) work, decisive, overflowing with righteousness. A like phrase meets us again in Isaiah 28:22; Daniel 9:27. The "finished work" is that of God's judgment, and it "overflows with righteousness" at once punitive and corrective. Verses 22, 23. - These verses are exegetical of the term "remnant," and bring out its full force. The promise had been made to Abraham that his seed should be "like the sand of the sea for multitude" (Genesis 22:17). This promise had been fulfilled (1 Kings 4:20); but now the sins of the people would produce a reversal of it. It would be a remnant, and only a remnant, of the nation that would escape. Judah would have to make a fresh start as from a new beginning (see Ezra 2:64). Verse 22. - The consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness; rather, the consummation (Daniel 9:27) determined on is one that overflows with righteousness (comp. Isaiah 28:22). The prophet means that God is about to visit the land in such a spirit of severe justice that it cannot be expected that more than a remnant will survive the awful visitation.Parallel Commentaries ...
