Isaías 63

Isaías 63:1-6

Constable - This Warrior was coming to Israel, having defeated Israel's enemies. He was a mighty man, strong and majestic, wearing vivid garments. The Warrior identified Himself as someone who speaks (cf. John 1:1-2; John 1:14). This is the outstanding characteristic of God from Genesis 1:3 to Revelation 21:5. His words were right and His strength was for salvation. Jamieson amplifies Messiah's declaration " I, who have in faithfulness given a promise of deliverance, am now about to fulfil it." In righteousness (Isa 45:23, Isa 55:11) - Messiah is the One Who "constantly and characteristically speaks what is right. The idols cannot do this (Isa 43:9), for they do not know either the past or the future." (Oswalt) I speak in righteousness... Isa 45:23 "I have sworn by Myself, The word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness And will not turn back, That to Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance. Isa 55:11 So shall My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. Mighty to save - "The same Messiah that destroys the unbeliever saves the believer." (Jamieson) This phrase emphasizes that Messiah is strong enough to accomplish deliverance. Even in the midst of wrath, He is able to show mercy and bring about salvation. The same power that destroys a sinner may save a saint. Related Resource: See devotional article Mighty to Save F B
