Context — The Root of Jesse
14They will swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines to the west; together they will plunder the sons of the east. They will lay their hands on Edom and Moab, and the Ammonites will be subject to them.
15The LORD will devote to destruction the gulf of the Sea of Egypt; with a scorching wind He will sweep His hand over the Euphrates. He will split it into seven streams for men to cross with dry sandals.
16There will be a highway for the remnant of His people who remain from Assyria, as there was for Israel when they came up from the land of Egypt.

Isaiah 11:16 Summary
This verse promises that God will provide a safe path for His people to return to their homeland, just like He did for the Israelites when they left Egypt. This 'highway' is a symbol of God's deliverance and care for His people, as seen in Exodus 14:13-31 and Psalm 136:11-12. God is a rescuer and redeemer who consistently provides for and protects His people, and we can trust in His goodness and faithfulness, as promised in Deuteronomy 7:8 and Jeremiah 29:11.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 'highway' in Isaiah 11:16 represent?
The 'highway' in this verse likely refers to a path of deliverance and safety for God's people, similar to the parting of the Red Sea in Exodus 14:13-31, where Israel was able to escape from their enemies and travel to the Promised Land.
Who are the 'remnant of His people' mentioned in this verse?
The 'remnant of His people' refers to those who remain faithful to God despite the challenges and pressures of living in a world that often opposes Him, as seen in Isaiah 10:20-22, where a remnant of Israel is promised to return to the Lord.
How does this verse relate to the Exodus from Egypt?
This verse draws a parallel between the Exodus from Egypt, as recorded in the book of Exodus, and the future deliverance of God's people from Assyria, highlighting God's consistent character as a rescuer and redeemer, as seen in Deuteronomy 7:8 and Psalm 136:11-12.
What is the significance of the reference to Assyria in this verse?
The reference to Assyria in this verse likely points to a future time when God's people will be delivered from the captivity and oppression they experienced at the hands of the Assyrian Empire, as prophesied in Isaiah 10:5-27 and fulfilled in part in 2 Kings 19:35-37.
Reflection Questions

- How can I be a part of the 'remnant' of God's people who remain faithful despite the challenges of living in a world that often opposes Him?

Gill's Exposition on Isaiah 11:16
And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people,.... That is, through the river; that being dried up, and all hindrances and obstacles being removed, the way will be clear for multitudes
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Isaiah 11:16
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.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Isaiah 11:16
From Assyria; as there was another highway from Egypt in the former verse. So the sense is, that all impediments shall be removed, and a way made for the return of God’ s Israel from all parts of the world. He mentions Assyria, because thither the ten tribes were carried, ; whose case seemed to be most desperate.
Trapp's Commentary on Isaiah 11:16
Isaiah 11:16 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.Ver. 16. And there shall be an highway.] Agger, via strata, a causeway. In the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.] This signal deliverance was a clear type of our redemption by Christ. And this prophecy was fulfilled when thousands of the Egyptians were converted by Mark the evangelist and other preachers, as also when other nations forsook spiritual Egypt and embraced the truth.
Ellicott's Commentary on Isaiah 11:16
(16) And there shall be an highway for the remnant . . .—The “highway” is, as in Isaiah 19:23; Isaiah 49:11, and elsewhere, the raised embanked road, made by Eastern kings for the march of their armies. Such a road the prophet sees in his vision (here as in Isaiah 40:3), stretching across the great plains of Mesopotamia for the return of Israel. It was to be for that “second time” of restoration what the passage of the Red Sea had been for the “first time” of the Exodus, for the exiles in Assyria what another passage of the Egyptian sea was to be for those in Egypt.
Cambridge Bible on Isaiah 11:16
16. a highway] through river and desert. This miraculous “highway” is a frequent feature in prophetic descriptions of the return from exile. Cf. ch. Isaiah 35:8, Isaiah 40:3-4, Isaiah 42:16, Isaiah 49:11, &c.
Barnes' Notes on Isaiah 11:16
And there shall be an highway - All obstructions shall be removed, and they shall be permitted to return without hinderance (compare the note at Isaiah 35:8). For the remnant of his people from Assyria - See note at Isaiah 11:11.
Whedon's Commentary on Isaiah 11:16
15, 16. The wonders which Jehovah wrought for Israel in his escape from Egypt, and will yet work in his deliverances from Assyria, are to be repeated essentially, but in the spiritual sense, in
