Isaiah 37:32 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 37:32

For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant
The Targum is,

``the rest of the righteous;''

the same as before; who, when the city should be free from the enemy, would go out of it, and return to their former settlements, in the several parts of Judea; a type of those who went out of Jerusalem with the Gospel of Christ, and spread it not only in Judea, but in the Gentile world:

and they that escape out of Mount Zion;
the same persons, differently described; some of whom were in the city of Jerusalem, and others in the fort of Zion, but departed from hence when the siege was broke up. The Targum is,

``and the escaped of them that confirm the law out of Mount Zion;''

see ( Isaiah 2:3 ) :

the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this:
his concern for his own honour and glory, and his great love to his people, shall engage him to perform all that is here promised and foretold. The Targum is,

``by the word of the Lord of hosts this shall be done.''

Isaiah 37:32 In-Context

30 "And this shall be the sign for you: This year eat what grows of itself, and in the second year what springs from that; then in the third year sow, reap, plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
31 The surviving remnant of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward;
32 for from Jerusalem a remnant shall go out, and from Mount Zion a band of survivors. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
33 "Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, shoot an arrow there, come before it with a shield, or cast up a siege ramp against it.
34 By the way that he came, by the same he shall return; he shall not come into this city, says the Lord.
