This name is significant in the context of biblical prophecy and the themes of judgment and restoration.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> Shearjashub is mentioned in the Book of Isaiah. He is the son of the prophet Isaiah and is specifically referenced in <a href="/isaiah/7-3.htm">Isaiah 7:3</a>.<br><br><b><a href="/isaiah/7-3.htm">Isaiah 7:3</a> :</b> "Then the LORD said to Isaiah, 'Go out with your son Shearjashub to meet Ahaz at the end of the aqueduct that feeds the upper pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field.'"<br><br><b>Historical Context:</b> The mention of Shearjashub occurs during a critical period in the history of Judah. King Ahaz of Judah faced the threat of invasion from the allied forces of Syria and Israel (also known as Ephraim). The LORD instructed Isaiah to meet Ahaz and deliver a message of reassurance, despite the looming threat.<br><br><b>Prophetic Significance:</b> The presence of Shearjashub during this encounter with King Ahaz is symbolic. His name, "A remnant shall return," serves as a prophetic sign. It underscores the message that, despite the impending judgment and exile due to the nation's unfaithfulness, a faithful remnant of God's people would eventually return. This theme of a remnant is recurrent throughout the prophetic literature, emphasizing God's faithfulness to His covenant promises and His mercy towards His people.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b> The inclusion of Shearjashub in this narrative highlights several key theological themes:<br><br>1. <b>Divine Sovereignty and Assurance:</b> The LORD's command to Isaiah to bring his son Shearjashub to meet Ahaz is a demonstration of God's sovereignty over the affairs of nations. It reassures Ahaz and the people of Judah that God is in control, even in times of political turmoil and threat.<br><br>2. <b>Judgment and Hope:</b> The name Shearjashub encapsulates the dual themes of judgment and hope. While the nation would face consequences for its disobedience, God's promise of a remnant points to hope and future restoration.<br><br>3. <b>Covenant Faithfulness:</b> The prophetic message associated with Shearjashub's name reaffirms God's faithfulness to His covenant with Israel. Despite the people's unfaithfulness, God remains committed to His promises, ensuring that a remnant will survive and return.<br><br><b>Role in Isaiah's Ministry:</b> Shearjashub's role, though brief in the biblical narrative, is integral to Isaiah's ministry. His presence serves as a living symbol of the prophetic message Isaiah was called to deliver. It illustrates the tangible reality of God's promises and the hope of redemption for a faithful remnant.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> The figure of Shearjashub, though mentioned only once, carries profound theological weight. His name and presence in the narrative of <a href="/bsb/isaiah/7.htm">Isaiah 7</a> serve as a testament to God's enduring promise of hope and restoration for His people, even amidst judgment.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Shearjashub</span><p>(lit. <i>a remnant shall return</i>), the symbolical name of the son of Isaiah the prophet.

The name like that of other children of prophets (compare "Immanuel," "Mahershalal-hash-baz," "Lo-ruhamah," etc.) is symbolic of a message which the prophet wishes to emphasize. Thus Isaiah uses the very words she'ar yashubh to express his oft-repeated statement that a remnant of Israel will return to Yahweh (<a href="/isaiah/10-21.htm">Isaiah 10:21</a>).<p><a name="thes" id="thes"></a><div class="vheading2">Thesaurus</div><a href="/topical/s/shearjashub.htm"><span class="l"><b>Shearjashub</b> (1 Occurrence)</span></a><br><b>...</b> 10:21).
