Vers. 16. And there shall be a path to the remnant of his people, which are left of Ashur; like as it was unto Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

This verse contains no new matter, but opens that further which went before; to wit, that the people shall feel the very same powerful hand of God in their deliverance out of Babylon,1 as they had formerly proved in their deliverance out of Egypt. He opened a way through the seas, also through §1a waste desert: and lastly, through the midst of §2Jordan: even thus will he make way again, §3Isaiah saith, for his people by the same admirable means. Now what the Lord hath once done, let us expect the same again for the time to come; and let us to this end consider the ancient histories. This also ought to be referred to the last deliverance of the Church, when we altogether shall be fully delivered out of all miseries and calamities: so as howsoever the things which are taught us concerning the resurrection and eternal life, seems incredible unto us, and that the means thereof appears not unto us as yet; let us know notwithstanding, that it shall be easy with God to find both the way and means.
