Isaiah 10:23

Listen to Isaiah 10:23
23 Yes, destruction has been announced; the LORD God of heavenly forces will carry it out against the entire land.

Isaiah 10:23 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 10:23

For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption
Not of the land of Judea, as at the destruction of Jerusalem; but the meaning is, that he that is Lord of all, who does what he pleases in the armies above and below, will execute and accomplish a precise and absolute decree of his, concerning the salvation of the remnant of his people; which is his decree of election, and that standing sure, not upon the foot of works, but his own sovereign will: hence their salvation is sure and certain, and not precarious; even determined, in the midst of all the land;
that is, the determined decree should be executed in the several parts of the land of Judea, where this remnant was; for which reason the Gospel was preached in the several cities of Judah, in order to accomplish it, both by Christ and his apostles.

Isaiah 10:23 In-Context

21 A few will return, what's left of Jacob, to the mighty God.
22 Although your people, Israel, were like the sand of the sea, only a few survivors will return. The end is announced, overflowing with justice.
23 Yes, destruction has been announced; the LORD God of heavenly forces will carry it out against the entire land.
24 Therefore, the LORD God of heavenly forces says: My people who live in Zion, don't fear Assyria, which strikes you with the rod and raises its staff against you as Egypt did.
25 In a very short time my fury will end, and my anger at the world will be finished.
