Isaiah 63 is, without a shred of doubt, my favourite part of the Bible (along with Psalm 127). The first part of the chapter consists of a dialogue between Christ and the Church. These seven verses, particularly the last one, are the best Scriptural instance of the dichotomy between the elect and the reprobate and exemplifies Gods different dealings vis-à-vis both groups of people. As we see our LORD pouring down His implacable wrath upon the vessels foreordained for the fulfilment of such purpose, but, at the same time, pouring His blessings upon us, we will finally realise how He loved us and ABHORRED them, and we will give Him the glory and thanks forever and ever!!!! Isaiah 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. 63:2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? 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. 63:4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. 63:5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me. 63:6 And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth. 63:7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
