Scofield Reference Bible Notes
Isaiah 63

Isa 63:1-6—(2) The day of vengeance. (Cf. Isa 2:10-22; Rev 19:11-21.)

Isa 63:1 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

Who is this that cometh

Day (of Jehovah). Isa 63:1-6; 66:15-24. (Isa 2:10-22; Rev 19:11-21).

Isa 63:3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.

tread them in mine anger

See Scofield Genesis 36:1, note. Also Armageddon (battle of). Isa 63:1-6; 66:15, 16. (Rev 16:14; 19:21.)

Isa 63:4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.

day of vengeance

Day (of destruction). Mat 25:31-46. (Job 21:30; Rev 20:11-15).


Isa 63:7-19—Fear and hope of the Remnant (Isa 1:9; Rom 11:5) in the day of vengeance.

Isa 63:9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

angel

Scofield Hebrews 1:4, note.

redeemed [See also Isa 63:16.]

Hebrew goel, Redemption (Kinsman type). Scofield Isaiah 59:20, note.

Isa 63:10 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

vexed

i.e. grieved.

holy Spirit

Holy Spirit. Eze 2:2. (Gen 1:2; Mal 2:15.)

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.

fear

Scofield Psalm 19:9, note.
