Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Isaiah 63:1-6

CHAPTER 63 The Executor of the Day of Vengeance 1. The glorious appearing (Isaiah 63:1 ) 2. The day of vengeance (Isaiah 63:2-6 Revelation 19:11-21 corresponds to this marvelous description of the coming King. Before in this section we read of the day of vengeance, the Lord’s intervention in behalf of His people and the overthrow of their enemies. The day of vengeance is now beheld by the prophet. The acceptable year is closed and judgment sweeps the earth. Often this chapter is quoted as... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 63:1-19

MEETING OF THE AGES We are drawing to the end of the present, and the opening of the Millennial age. The prophet’s eye rests on the time when Israel is back in her land, the majority still unconverted to Christ and worshiping in a restored temple. There is a faithful remnant waiting for Him, though enduring the persecution of the false christ. This persecution may often be felt at the hands of their own brethren after the flesh. These facts must be assumed in the interpretation of these... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 63:3-6

Here the Lord Jesus Christ graciously gives a full and satisfying answer to the Prophet's question, and in it explains most blessedly, to the Church's joy, the subject of his personal triumph in redemption. The wine-press which Jesus trod, was the wine-press of the wrath of God, into which our nature deserved to have been thrown, and, but for Jesus's interposition, must have been thrown, and remained for bruising to all eternity; Revelation 14:19 . Well might the Lord Jesus add, in this... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 63:1-6

1-6 The prophet, in vision, beholds the Messiah returning in triumph from the conquest of his enemies, of whom Edom was a type. Travelling, not as wearied by the combat, but, in the greatness of his strength, prepared to overcome every opposing power. Messiah declares that he had been treading the wine-press of the wrath of God, Revelation 14:19; Revelation 19:13, and by his own power, without any human help, he had crushed his obstinate opposers, for the day of vengeance was determined on,... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 63:1-6

The Approach Of The Deliverer v. 1. Who is this, so the prophet, in a burst of triumphant ecstasy, asks, that cometh from Edom, where the scene of the great judgment is laid, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this city being the ancient capital of Idumea. The garments of the Hero are pictured as being brilliant, scarlet, namely, with blood, as the next verses show: this that is glorious in His apparel, traveling in the greatness of His strength? coming along with proud bearing and stately... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Isaiah 63:1-6

B. The negative side of the revelation of Salvation. The judgment on the heathenIsaiah 63:1-61          Who is this that cometh from Edom,With dyed garments from Bozrah?This that Isaiah 1:0 glorious in his apparel,2Travelling in the greatness of his strength?I that speak in righteousness,Mighty to save.2     Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel,And thy garments like him that treadeth in the wine fat?3     I have trodden the winepress alone:And of the people there was none with me:For I will... read more

Alexander MacLaren

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 63:2-3

Isaiah THE WINEPRESS AND ITS TREADER Isa_63:2 - Isa_63:3 . The structure of these closing chapters is chronological, and this is the final scene. What follows is epilogue. The reference of this magnificent imagery to the sufferings of Jesus is a complete misapprehension. These sufferings were dealt with once for all in Isa_53:1 - Isa_53:12 , and it is Messiah triumphant who has filled the prophet’s vision since then. I. The treading of the winepress. The nations are flung into the press,... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 63:1-9

the Mighty Savior Isaiah 63:1-9 For long years there had been virulent hostility between Israel and Edom. It began when Esau and Jacob were lads. It broke out in bitterness when Edom denied Israel the right of passage, Numbers 20:20-21 . When Babylon had triumphed over Jerusalem, Edom urged that her walls should be leveled to the ground, Psalms 137:7 . How great the change pictured here! The prophet stands at the division of the two countries, looking south, from the foothills of Judah... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 63:1-19

The last section of Isaiah (63-66) sets forth anew the operation of the principle of discrimination. All the blessing which has been described can result only from holiness, and ere that can be established there must be the period of judgment. In the first section the prophet describes the Warrior returning from the conflict. While that conflict is described, it is from the standpoint of its completion. One is seen returning with crimson garments, marching in the greatness of His strength. In... read more
