For a remnant will go forth from Jerusalem
This phrase highlights the concept of a "remnant," a recurring theme in the Bible where a small, faithful group is preserved by God amidst judgment or disaster. In the context of 2 Kings 19, this refers to the people of Judah who will survive the Assyrian siege under King Hezekiah's reign. The idea of a remnant is significant throughout Scripture, seen in passages like Isaiah 10:20-22 and Romans 11:5, where God preserves a faithful group for His purposes. Jerusalem, the city of David and the spiritual center of Israel, is often depicted as a place of divine protection and promise, reinforcing the idea that God's plans will prevail despite adversity.

and survivors from Mount Zion
Mount Zion is another name for Jerusalem, often used to emphasize its spiritual significance. It is the location of the Temple, symbolizing God's presence among His people. The mention of "survivors" underscores God's mercy and faithfulness in preserving His people. Historically, Mount Zion has been a focal point of Jewish identity and hope, as seen in Psalm 125:1, which speaks of the security of those who trust in the Lord. This phrase also foreshadows the ultimate deliverance and restoration that God promises, pointing to the eschatological hope found in Revelation 14:1, where the Lamb stands on Mount Zion with His redeemed.

The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will accomplish this
The "zeal of the LORD" refers to God's passionate commitment to His covenant and His people. The title "LORD of Hosts" emphasizes His sovereignty and power over all heavenly and earthly armies. This phrase assures that the deliverance of the remnant is not by human effort but by divine intervention. The concept of God's zeal is echoed in Isaiah 9:7, where it is linked to the establishment of the Messiah's kingdom. This zeal is a type of Christ, who embodies God's fervent love and purpose, ultimately fulfilling His redemptive plan through His life, death, and resurrection.

Teaching Points
God's Faithfulness to His People
Despite the circumstances, God remains faithful to His promises. The concept of a remnant shows that God preserves a faithful group even in times of judgment.

The Power of Divine Zeal
The "zeal of the LORD" indicates God's passionate commitment to His purposes. Believers can trust that God's plans will be accomplished with fervor and precision.

Hope in Times of Crisis
The promise of a remnant offers hope and assurance that God is in control, even when situations seem dire. This encourages believers to remain steadfast in faith.

The Importance of Spiritual Resilience
The remnant represents those who remain faithful under pressure. Christians are called to be resilient in their faith, trusting in God's ultimate victory.

God's Sovereignty and Salvation
The passage highlights God's sovereignty in salvation history. Believers are reminded that God orchestrates events for His glory and the good of His people.(31)A remnant.--Isaiah's favourite doctrine of the remnant (Isaiah 4:2-3; Isaiah 10:20-21).

They that escape.--A survival.

Out of Jerusalem.--The ravaged land was to be newly stocked from thence.

The zeal (jealousy) of the Lord of hosts shall do this.--Another of the phrases of Isaiah. (See Isaiah 10:7.) (The word hosts, wanting in the common Hebrew text, is found in many MSS., and all the versions).

Verse 31. - For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant. The march of Sennacherib and the raid of Rabshakeh had driven the mass of the escaped population of Judaea to take refuge within the walls of Jerusalem, from which, on the retirement of the invaders, they would gladly "go forth," to recultivate their lands (ver. 29) and restore their ruined homes. And they that escape - rather, that shall escape - out of Mount Zion - "Mount Zion" is a variant for Jerusalem, as in ver. 21, and in Isaiah and the Psalms so continually - the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this. So in Isaiah 9:7 and Isaiah 37:32. Here most manuscripts have "the zeal of the Lord," omitting "of hosts;" and this is probably the right reading. The meaning is that God's zealous love and care for his people will effect their complete restoration to prosperity and glory, difficult as it was at the time to imagine such a restoration.
