Isaiah 10:21

The few people who returned could see a great promise from God in the name of Isaiah’s son Shear-jashub (see Isaiah 7:4).

• ‘All-Powerful God’ is one of the titles of the *Messiah (see Isaiah 9:6).

God will punish Assyria

v24 Now the *Lord, the *Lord (commander of heaven’s armies), speaks to God’s people who still live in *Jerusalem. Do not be afraid of the *Assyrians when they hit you with heavy sticks. They behave as the *Egyptians did long ago.

v25 Very soon my anger will end. v26 Then the *Lord (commander of heaven’s armies) will attack the *Assyrians. As once he did when he struck the *Midianite army at the Rock of Oreb. And the All-Powerful *Lord will make a path through the sea. As once he did against Egypt. v27 On that day the *Assyrians will not still rule your nation. It will feel as if a heavy weight has gone from your shoulders.
