Isaiah 63:2

Isaiah 63:2

The Lord in Judgment and Salvation

1 Who is this who comes from Edom,
With dyed garments from Bozrah,
This One who is¹ glorious in His apparel,
Traveling in the greatness of His strength?—
“I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.”

2 Why ^ais Your apparel red,
And Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?

3 “I have ^atrodden the winepress alone,
And from the peoples no one was with Me.
For I have trodden them in My anger,
And trampled them in My fury;
Their blood is sprinkled upon My garments,
And I have stained all My robes.

4 For the ^aday of vengeance is in My heart,
And the year of My redeemed has come.

5 ^aI looked, but ^bthere was no one to help,
And I wondered
That there was no one to uphold;
Therefore My own ^carm brought salvation for Me;
And My own fury, it sustained Me.

6 I have trodden down the peoples in My anger,
Made them drunk in My fury,
And brought down their strength to the earth.”

<< Isaiah 63:1

Isaiah 63:3 >>

The prophet asks why His garments are "dyed" and "red."

winefat—rather, the "wine-press," wherein the grapes were trodden with the feet; the juice would stain the garment of him who trod them (Revelation 14:19-20; Revelation 19:15). The image was appropriate, as the country round Bozrah abounded in grapes. This final blow inflicted by Messiah and His armies (Revelation 19:13-15) shall decide His claim to the kingdoms u surped by Satan, and by the "beast," to whom Satan delegates his power. It will be a day of judgment to the hostile Gentiles, as His first coming was a day of judgment to the unbelieving Jews.
