Verse 21
A remnant would return (Shearjashub, Isaiah 7:3) to the genuinely mighty God. It would be a remnant of the whole house of Jacob, from all the Israelites. The reference to the mighty God (cf. Isaiah 9:5), along with the sincere change of attitude in Israel-one that has not yet taken place-points to a time of fulfillment in the eschatological future. "That day" (Isaiah 10:20), as elsewhere, is a millennial reference here.
"The remnant is not a super-spiritual elite looking down on others, but they do dare to live by faith in God." [Note: Ortlund, p. 94.]
