Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 10:24

Theological / Devotional

Be not afraid. This is the practical application of the lesson of Isaiah’s message (see on ch. 7:4, 7, 9). The Assyrians will come as a “rod” of judgment (see on ch. 10:5), but do not be afraid of them. They will smite, but they will not destroy. Remain faithful to God, put your confidence in Him, accept His presence with you, and you will be spared. Though many will be lost, a remnant will be saved. Be among that remnant, and “be not afraid.” God sends a similar message to us today.

The manner of Egypt. Pharaoh had exerted all his wrath against the Israelites in Egypt, but could not prevent the Exodus. The Assyrians are also powerful and cruel, but a remnant will escape their blows.
