“And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.”
And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people which shall be left, from Assyria, like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt—the promise of a supernatural highway facilitating the return of the exiles from their dispersal in Assyria and elsewhere. The parallel to the exodus highway suggests that the return will be as dramatic and divinely orchestrated as the original deliverance from Egypt. This verse concludes the messianic vision of chapter 11 with the image of a path prepared by God for the gathering of His people.
