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

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Isaiah 63:1

Isaiah MIGHTY TO SAVE Isa_63:1 . We have here a singularly vivid and dramatic prophecy, thrown into the form of a dialogue between the prophet and a stranger whom he sees from afar striding along from the mountains of Edom, with elastic step, and dyed garments. The prophet does not recognise him, and asks who he is. The Unknown answers, ‘I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.’ Another question follows, seeking explanation of the splashed crimson garments of the stranger, and its... read more

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'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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Isaiah 63:1

THE WARRIOR MESSIAH‘Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah?’ Isaiah 63:1 I. ‘Who is this that cometh from Edom?’—Sin hangs on the borders of goodness everywhere, as just across the narrow Jordan valley Edom always lay threatening upon the skirts of Palestine. II. Look next what He says to His anxious questioner.—(1) We ask Him, ‘Who is this?’ and He replies, ‘I that come in righteousness, mighty to save.’ (2) It is no holiday monarch coming with a bloodless triumph.... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 63:1-6

God’s Judgment on Edom, Their Brother Who Rejected The Covenant, And God’s Offer of Redemption to Jacob. This startling vision of the future prepares for what lies ahead. Isaiah is aware that that includes gloom for Judah/Israel, for he remembers God’s prediction concerning the future rape of the Temple and the removal to Babylon of Hezekiahs’s descendants (Isaiah 39:6-7). Thus in the face of this huge threat he will plead for his people. But first he must set the scene. Isaiah 63:1 ‘Who is... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 63:1-6

Isaiah 63:1-Joshua : . The Triumph of Yahweh.— In this poem, isolated from its context, the poet, looking into the future, sees a solitary but majestic warrior striding along, his splendid garments all bloodstained. “ Who,” he asks, “ is this?” To which Yahweh Himself, for it is He, makes answer, “ I, resplendent in triumph, mighty to deliver.” “ Why,” asks the poet, “ is Thine apparel stained red like the garments of the grape-treader?” Yahweh answers, “ A wine-trough indeed have I trodden... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 63:1

In these two verses either the prophet, as in some vision or ecstasy, is put probably upon inquiry by God himself, rather than by Christ, or Michael, or Judas Maccabeeus, as some have thought; and the rather, because this place doth thus suit best with Isaiah 59:16,Isaiah 59:17. Or the church makes inquiry, and that with admiration, who it is that appears in such a habit or posture, Isaiah 63:1, and why, Isaiah 63:2. Edom; that is, the country of Idumea, where Esau dwelt, and Esau himself was... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Isaiah 63:1

CHRIST A MIGHTY SAVIOURIsaiah 63:1. Mighty to save.Our subject is the all-sufficiency of Christ to save. Four points expressed or implied—I. The obstacles to our salvation were very great, arising from the nature and dominion of sin. None but an Almighty Redeemer was equal to the task. The ends to be accomplished every way worthy of the instrumentality employed. There are obstacles arising—1. From the law and government of God. 2. Out of the state and frame of our own minds, considered as... read more
