A remnant
The term "remnant" in Isaiah 10:21 is significant in the biblical narrative, often referring to a small, faithful group that survives judgment or calamity. In Hebrew, the word is "שְׁאָר" (she'ar), which conveys the idea of what is left over or remains. This concept is crucial in understanding God's faithfulness and mercy, as He preserves a portion of His people despite widespread unfaithfulness. Theologically, the remnant represents hope and continuity of God's promises, emphasizing that God always maintains a faithful group through whom He can fulfill His covenantal promises.

will return
The phrase "will return" is derived from the Hebrew "יָשׁוּב" (yashuv), indicating a physical and spiritual turning back. Historically, this return is often associated with the Israelites coming back from exile. Spiritually, it signifies repentance and a renewed relationship with God. The return is not just a geographical movement but a profound transformation of heart and mind, aligning with God's will and purposes. This returning is a theme throughout the prophetic books, symbolizing restoration and redemption.

a remnant of Jacob
"Jacob" here refers to the nation of Israel, descended from the patriarch Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel. The use of "Jacob" emphasizes the covenantal relationship between God and the people of Israel. It highlights their identity as chosen people, despite their failures and the judgment they face. The remnant of Jacob signifies those who remain faithful to the covenant and are recipients of God's promises. This phrase underscores the continuity of God's plan through a faithful lineage.

will return to the Mighty God
The title "Mighty God" is translated from the Hebrew "אֵל גִּבּוֹר" (El Gibbor), a powerful name for God that emphasizes His strength and sovereignty. This title is also found in Isaiah 9:6, where it is used in the prophecy of the coming Messiah. The return to the Mighty God signifies a restoration of the relationship between God and His people, acknowledging His power and authority. It is a call to recognize God's supremacy and to submit to His divine will. This return is both a physical and spiritual journey, leading to a deeper understanding and worship of God as the ultimate source of strength and salvation.

(21) The remnant shall return . . .--The very form of the words (Shear-jashub) shows that the prophet had the "Immanuel promise in his thoughts, just as "the mighty God" (the same word as in Isaiah 9:6) must have reminded men of the Child who was to bear that name in the age to come. (Comp. Hezekiah's proclamation in 2Chronicles 30:6.)

Verse 21. - The mighty God (comp. Isaiah 9:6). The name is not, however, Messianic in this place.
