So I will forsake the remnant of My inheritance This phrase indicates God's decision to abandon the remaining people of Israel, who are referred to as His "inheritance." The term "remnant" often refers to a small, faithful group preserved by God, but here it highlights the few left after previous judgments. Historically, this reflects the period of the divided kingdom, where the Northern Kingdom (Israel) had already fallen to Assyria, and the Southern Kingdom (Judah) was under threat due to its idolatry and disobedience. Theologically, this forsaking is a consequence of persistent sin, echoing warnings given through prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah. The concept of God forsaking His people is a sobering reminder of the covenantal relationship, where blessings are contingent upon obedience. and deliver them into the hands of their enemies. And they will become plunder and spoil to all their enemies, Persons / Places / Events 1. ManassehThe king of Judah during this time, known for his idolatry and evil practices, which provoked God's anger. 2. Judah The southern kingdom of Israel, which is being addressed in this passage as the remnant of God's inheritance. 3. Enemies of Judah The surrounding nations that God would use as instruments of judgment against Judah. 4. God's Inheritance Refers to the people of Israel, whom God chose as His own possession. 5. Prophetic Judgment The declaration of God's intention to forsake Judah due to their persistent disobedience and idolatry. Teaching Points The Consequences of IdolatryIdolatry leads to spiritual and physical ruin. Manasseh's reign exemplifies how turning away from God results in severe consequences. God's Righteous Judgment God's decision to forsake Judah underscores His holiness and justice. He cannot tolerate sin indefinitely. The Importance of Repentance While judgment is pronounced, the broader biblical account shows that repentance can lead to restoration, as seen in Manasseh's later life. The Role of Leadership Leaders have a profound impact on the spiritual direction of a nation. Manasseh's actions led Judah into sin, highlighting the responsibility of godly leadership. Hope Amidst Judgment Even in judgment, God's ultimate plan is redemptive. The exile was a means to purify and eventually restore His people.(14) Forsake.--Or, cast off; LXX., ????????. Judges 6:13. The remnant of mine inheritance.--The Northern Kingdom had already been depopulated. A prey and a spoil.--Isaiah 42:22.; Jeremiah 30:16. Verse 14. - And I will forsake the remnant of mine inheritance. "The remnant" here is not the remnant left of Judah after the deportation of two hundred thousand souls by Sennacherib (as in 2 Kings 19:4), but the remnant that is left of the whole people of Israel - the two tribes as distinct from the ten. The ten tribes were forsaken when the Assyrians took and destroyed Samaria (2 Kings 17:18, 23); the two remained. Now the two also would be forsaken, and the last remnant of God's inheritance cast out. And deliver them into the hand of their enemies. Not the Chaldeans only, who were not yet "their enemies," but their persistent and inveterate enemies, the Syrians, Moabites, Ammonites (see 2 Kings 24:2), and Edomites (Ezekiel 25:12; Joel 3:19), who all joined with Nebuchadnezzar at the last, and (as Ewald says, 'History of Israel,' vol. 4. p, 270) "indulged their ancient hatred by taking a very active part in the final war." And they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies (comp. Jeremiah 41:2-10; Jeremiah 48:27; Obadiah 1:10-14; Zephaniah 2:8, etc.). The years which immediately followed the Captivity were years of terrible suffering to the remnant whom Nebuchadnezzar left in the land (2 Kings 25:12). Every petty power in the neighborhood felt itself at liberty to make incursions with Judaea at its pleasure, to plunder and ravage, and drive off cap-tires, or massacre them in cold blood, or commit, any other atrocity. Some critics regard the description of Isaiah in 2 Kings 42:22-24 as prophetic of these sufferings.Parallel Commentaries ...
