Isaia 11:16 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 11:16

And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his
people
That is, through the river; that being dried up, and all hindrances and obstacles being removed, the way will be clear for multitudes to walk in without interruption, like a large common, highway, or causeway; so the Mahometan, Pagan, and Papal kingdoms being destroyed, and with them each of their religions, the way of truth, righteousness, and holiness, will be manifest to the remnant of the Lord's people; who will be at this time in those parts, in which they will be directed to walk, and will walk, and not err, see ( Isaiah 35:8 ) : which shall be left from Assyria;
the Septuagint and Arabic versions read, "which is left in Egypt"; and designs the remnant, according to the election of grace, that shall be in any of the antichristian countries, either Mahometan or Papal; rather the former seems intended, who shall at this time be brought to the knowledge of Christ, and to walk in his ways: like as it was to Israel in that day that he came up out of the
land of Egypt;
that is, as there was a highway made through the Red Sea, in which Israel passed, as on dry land, when they came out of Egypt, and went through the wilderness to Canaan's land.

Isaia 11:16 In-Context

14 Essi piomberanno a volo sulle spalle de’ Filistei ad occidente, insieme prederanno i figliuoli dell’oriente; metteran le mani addosso a Edom ed a Moab, e i figliuoli d’Ammon saran loro sudditi.

15 L’Eterno metterà interamente a secco la lingua del mar dell’Egitto, scuoterà minacciosamente la mano sul fiume, e col suo soffio impetuoso, lo spartirà in sette canali, e farà si che lo si passi coi sandali.

16 E ci farà una strada per il residuo del suo popolo rimasto in Assiria, come ve ne fu una per Israele il giorno che uscì dal paese d’Egitto.
