Contextual Overview

20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and those that have escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again lean on him that smote them, but shall lean on Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 21 A remnant shall return, [even] the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God. 22 For though your people, Israel, are as the sand of the sea, [only] a remnant of them shall return: a destruction [is] determined, overflowing with righteousness. 23 For a full end, and that determined, will the Lord, Yahweh of hosts, make in the midst of all the earth.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The remnant shall return,.... This is said in allusion to Shearjashub, the name of Isaiah's son, Isaiah 7:3 which signifies "the remnant shall return", and was imposed on him, to give assurance of it; meaning, either that they should return from the Babylonish captivity, as they did, or to God by repentance; or rather the sense is, they shall turn to the Lord, be converted to Christ, to the faith and obedience of him, as some of them were when he came, a few, not all, only a remnant, as it is explained in the next clause:

[even] the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God; the Messiah, so called, Isaiah 9:6. The Targum is,

"the remnant which have not sinned, and are turned from sin; the remnant of the house of Jacob shall return to worship before the mighty God.''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The remnant ... - That is, those who shall be left after the invasion of Sennacherib.

Shall return - Shall abandon their idolatrous rites and places of worship, and shall worship the true God.

The mighty God - The God that had evinced his power in overcoming and destroying the armies of Sennacherib.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Isaiah 10:21. The remnant shalt return - unto the mighty God. — אל גבור El gibbor, the mighty or conquering God; the Messiah, the same person mentioned in Isaiah 9:6 of the preceding chapter.
