holy Spirit
Isa 63:16 Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.
father
Cf. Isa 1:2; 64:8. Israel, collectively, the national Israel, recognizes God as the national Father (cf. Exo 4:22, 23). Doubtless the believing Israelite was born anew (cf. Jhn 3:3, 5; with Luk 13:28), but the O.T. Scriptures show no trace of the consciousness of personal sonship. The explanation is given in Gal 4:1-7. The Israelite, though a child, "differed nothing from a servant." The Spirit, as the "Spirit of His Son," could not be given to impart the consciousness of sonship until redemption had been accomplished (Gal 4:4-6). See "Adoption" (Scofield Romans 8:15; Ephesians 1:5.
Isa 63:17 O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.
