Isaiah 10:21 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Isaiah 10:21

19 Then the rest of the trees of his forest
Will be so few in number
That a child may write them.

The Returning Remnant of Israel

20 And it shall come to pass in that day
That the remnant of Israel,
And such as have escaped of the house of Jacob,
^aWill never again depend on him who¹ defeated them,
But will depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

21 The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob,
To the ^aMighty God.

22 ^aFor though your people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea,
^bA remnant of them will return;
The destruction decreed shall overflow with righteousness.

23 ^aFor the Lord God of hosts
Will make a determined end
In the midst of all the land.

24 Therefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: “O My people, who dwell in Zion, ^ado not be afraid of the Assyrian. He shall strike you with a rod and lift up his staff against you, in the manner of ^bEgypt.

Isaiah 10:20-22

The effect on the "remnant" (contrasted with the Assyrian remnant, Isaiah 10:19); namely, those who shall be left after the invasion of Sennacherib, will be a return from dependence on external idolatrous nations, as Assyria and Egypt (II Kings 18:21; II Kings 16:7-9), to the God of the theocracy; fulfilled in part in the pious Hezekiah's days; but from the future aspect under which Paul, in Romans 9:27-28 (compare "short work" with "whole work," Isaiah 10:12, here), regards the whole prophecy, the "remnant," "who stay upon the Lord," probably will receive their fullest realization in the portion of Jews left after that Antichrist shall have been overthrown, who shall "return" unto the Lord (Isaiah 6:13; Isaiah 7:3; Zechariah 12:9-10; Zechariah 14:2-3; Zephaniah 3:12).
