A remnant shall be saved until the LORD has driven men far away This phrase indicates a divine action where God Himself is responsible for the dispersion of the people. Historically, this can be linked to the Assyrian and Babylonian exiles, where the Israelites were taken from their land as a consequence of their disobedience and idolatry. Theologically, it reflects God's sovereignty and justice, emphasizing that the exile is not merely a political or military event but a fulfillment of divine judgment. This dispersion is also a recurring theme in the Old Testament, seen in Leviticus 26:33 and Deuteronomy 28:64, where God warns of scattering His people if they turn away from Him. The phrase foreshadows the New Testament concept of spiritual exile and separation from God due to sin, which is reconciled through Christ. and the land is utterly forsaken Persons / Places / Events 1.

The Consequences of Disobedience Understand that persistent disobedience leads to severe consequences, as seen in the exile of Judah. This serves as a warning to remain faithful. Hope Beyond Judgment Even in judgment, God’s ultimate plan includes restoration and hope. The desolation is not the end, but a part of God's redemptive process. The Call to Repentance Reflect on personal and communal areas of disobedience and heed the call to repentance to avoid spiritual desolation. The Faithfulness of God Trust in God's faithfulness to His promises, knowing that He will restore and redeem according to His covenant love.(12) And the Lord have removed men far away.--The words point to the policy of deportation adopted by the Assyrian kings. From the first hour of Isaiah's call the thought of an exile and a return from exile was the key-note of his teaching, and of that thought thus given in germ, his whole after-work was but a development, the horizon of his vision expanding and taking in the form of another empire than the Assyrian as the instrument of punishment. And there be a great forsaking.--Better, great shall be the deserted space. (Comp. Isaiah 5:9; Isaiah 7:22-23.) The words may have connected themselves in Isaiah's thoughts with what he had heard before from the lips of Micah (Jeremiah 26:18; Micah 3:12). Verse 12. - And the Lord have removed men far away. The Assyrian and Babylonian policy of deportation is pointed at. Pul had attacked the kingdom of Israel ten or twelve years before Uzziah's death, and had perhaps made the Assyrian policy known, though he had allowed himself to be bought off (2 Kings 15:19, 20). And there be a great forsaking; rather, and the desolation be great; i.e. till a great portion of Judah be depopulated.Parallel Commentaries ...
