From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And in that day -That future time when the reign of the Messiah shall be established; Note,Isaiah 3:2;Isaiah 4:1. The prophet, having described the birth, and the personal characteristics of the great personage to whom he referred, together with the peaceful effects of his reign, proceeds to state the result of that reign in some other respects. The first isIsaiah 11:10, that the “Gentiles” would be brought under his reign; the secondIsaiah 11:14, that it would be attended with the restoration of the scattered people of Judea; and the thirdIsaiah 11:15-16, that it would be followed by the destruction of the enemies of the people of God.
