Isaiah 10:21

"It will come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, and those who have escaped from the house of Jacob will no more again lean on him who struck them, but shall lean on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth."

Key Reflection

Isaiah 10:21 speaks to a pivotal moment in Israel's history where, following divine judgment, only a remnant will remain. These survivors will no longer rely on their enemies or those who have oppressed them; instead, they will turn fully to the Lord, acknowledging Him as the true source of salvation and strength ("the Holy One of Israel"). This verse underscores the theme of divine deliverance and the faithful remnant's ultimate trust in God, even after suffering at the hands of adversaries.
