ISAIAH

Chapter 63

God Loves Vindicating His Redeemed

God's Vengeance on the Nations

• 1. Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, traveling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
  
  • Hebrew
    • מִי־ זֶה בָּא מֵאֱדוֹם חֲמוּץ בְּגָדִים מִבָּצְרָה זֶה הָדוּר בִּלְבוּשׁוֹ צֹעֶה בְּרֹב כֹּחוֹ אֲנִי מְדַבֵּר בִּצְדָקָה רַב לְהוֹשִׁיעַ׃
• 2. Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?
  
  • Hebrew
    • מַדּוּעַ אָדֹם לִלְבוּשֶׁךָ וּבְגָדֶיךָ כְּדֹרֵךְ בְּגַת׃
• 3. I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
  
  • Hebrew
    • פּוּרָה דָּרַכְתִּי לְבַדִּי וּמֵעַמִּים אֵין־אִישׁ אִתִּי וְאֶדְרְכֵם בְּאַפִּי וְאֶרְמְסֵם בַּחֲמָתִי וְיֵז נִצְחָם עַל־בְּגָדַי וְכָל־מַלְבּוּשַׁי אֶגְאָלְתִּי׃
• 4. For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
  
  • Hebrew
    • כִּי יוֹם נָקָם בְּלִבִּי וּשְׁנַת גְּאוּלַי בָּאָה׃
• 5. And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
  
  • Hebrew
    • וְאַבִּיט וְאֵין עֹזֵר וְאֶשְׁתּוֹמֵם וְאֵין סוֹמֵךְ וַתּוֹשַׁע לִי זְרֹעִי וַחֲמָתִי הִיא סְמָכָתְנִי׃
• ↓6. And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.
  
  • Hebrew
    • וְאָבוּס עַמִּים בְּאַפִּי וַאֲשַׁכְּרֵם בַּחֲמָתִי וְאוֹרִיד לָאָרֶץ נִצְחָם׃ ס
  • Notes
    • ° The world is grasping for answers right now
      ° They see the visceral hatred of Israel, the attack on God, the corrupting of His Word, the attack on marriage, youth being lied to that they are not who God made them to be, cries for abortion, saber rattling all over the Middle East, global economic uncertainty, and on and on it goes...
      ° We have a captive audience right; AS Christians we should have the answers and be about the Lord's business! It will only encourage and strengthen those around us!
      ° God told us what these days would be like all throughout the Bible
      ° We must be about His work and do as much as possible before we go home
      ° Look how God describes these days in 2 Timothy 3...
