The Redeemer's Vengeance Upon the Grand Enemy of the Rede
Isaiah 63:4
For the day of vengeance is in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.


emed: — These words are a material repetition of the first promise (Genesis 3:15). We have here —

1. The designation of God's remnant of mankind — sinners. "My redeemed." They are Mine by election, Mine by My Father's donation, Mine by the purchase of My blood, and they are to be Mine by conquest.

2. The deep resentment that the glorious Redeemer has of the quarrel of the redeemed. "The day of vengeance is mine heart."

3. The stated time for the deliverance of the redeemed. "The day. "The year."

4. The Redeemer's satisfaction with the view of all this. He speaks of it with a particular air of joy and triumph.

(E. Erskine.)
