March 7 – The Turn Around – Isaiah 10:20-25
One of the themes of Isaiah is the remnant. The people within a people. The few. In that day their will be a remnant of people who will not rely on any one but the Lord. This remnant will see what has happened and return to the Lord. The Holy one. They will serve the mighty God. Many people will be taken into exile but only a remnant will return. This is a prophecy of what Jeremiah saw as well. It will be carried out upon the whole land. The land will get a rest.
The prophet exhorts the people of Judah to not be afraid of the Assyrians. They oppressed the people with club, axe, and sword. Soon his anger with them will end and his wrath will be directed towards the Assyrians. This is a wonderful promise to the few and a warning to the nations who rise against Judah.
