以賽亞書 63:3-6 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 63:1-6

The earlier and the later redemption. The energetic and graphic language of the text applies only in part to that Messianic kingdom to which the prophet makes such frequent reference. It obviously relates, primarily and principally, to the deliverance wrought by Jehovah in favour of his people Israel, and is concerned with the redressing of their political wrongs. But the expressions used are strongly suggestive of a far greater redemption, in which all the children of men are vitally... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 63:3

I have trodden the wine-press. The warrior replies. He accepts the suggestion of the prophet; but metaphorically, not literally. He has indeed been "treading a wine-press," but it is the wine-press of his fury, in which he has trampled down his enemies; and the stains upon his raiment are, consequently, not wine-stains, but stains of blood (comp. Joel 3:13 ; Lamentations 1:15 ; Revelation 14:19 , Revelation 14:20 ; Revelation 19:15 ). Alone . In mine own might, with none to aid... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 63:4

For the day of vengeance is in my heart . Translate , for a day of vengeance was in my heart (comp Isaiah 34:8 ; Isaiah 61:2 ). "A day" is time enough for God to take vengeance, to kill, and to destroy. He hastens over work that is necessary, but uncongenial. But he lengthens out the time of release and redemption for his loved ones. The "day of vengeance" ushers in the "year of redemption." Is come ; rather, was come. The Divine speaker goes back to the time preceding the actual... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 63:5

And I looked, and there was none to help (comp. Isaiah 5:2 , "He looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes:" also Isaiah 41:28 , "I beheld, and there was no man"). By an anthropomorphism God is represented as looking for and expecting what might reasonably have been expected, and even as surprised when he does not find it (comp. Isaiah 59:16 ). Out of all the many nations it was reasonable to suppose that some would have chosen the better part and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 63:6

I will tread down … make drunk … bring down ; rather, I trode down … made drunk … brought down. See the comment on Isaiah 63:3 . The destruction was to be utter, overwhelming, absolute—one from which there could be no recovery (comp. Revelation 19:11-21 , where the simile of the wine-press, and the "vesture dipped in blood," seem introduced with a special reference to this passage). read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 63:3

I have trodden the wine-press alone - I, Yahweh, have indeed trod the wine-press of my wrath, and I have done it alone (compare the notes at Isaiah 34:5-6). The idea here is, that he had completely destroyed his foes in Idumea, and had done it by a great slaughter.For I will tread - Or rather, I trod them. It refers to what he had done; or what was then past.And their blood shall be sprinkled - Or rather, their blood was sprinkled. The word used here (נצח nētsach) does not commonly mean blood;... read more

For the day of vengeance - (See the notes at Isaiah 34:8).And the year of my redeemed is come - The year when my people are to be redeemed. It is a year when their foes are all to be destroyed, and when their entire liberty is to be effected. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 63:5

And I looked and there was none to help - The same sentiment is expressed in Isaiah 59:16 (see the note at that verse).None to uphold - None to sustain or assist. The design is to express the fact that he was entirely alone in this work: that none were disposed or able to assist him. Though this has no direct reference to the plan of salvation, or to the work of the Messiah as a Redeemer, yet it is true of him also that in that work he stood alone. No one did aid him or could aid him; but alone... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 63:6

And I will tread them down - Or rather, ‘I did tread them down.’ The allusion here is to a warrior who tramples on his foes and treads them in the dust (see the notes at Isaiah 25:10).And made them drunk - That is, I made them reel and fall under my fury like a drunken man. In describing the destruction of Idumea in Isaiah 34:5, Yahweh says that his sword was made drunk, or that it rushed intoxicated from heaven. See the notes on that verse. But here he says that the people, under the terrors... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Isaiah 63:2-4

Isaiah 63:2-4. Wherefore art thou red, &c. The dialogue is continued, and the prophet or the church, having inquired concerning the person, now inquires why his habit has been thus sprinkled and stained. I have trodden the wine-press alone I have destroyed the enemies of my people, I have crushed them as grapes are crushed; this being a usual metaphor to describe the utter destruction of a people, Psalms 44:5; Revelation 14:19-20; and the ease with which God can do it, which is no... read more
