Three Assurances Concerning God’s Judgment – Isaiah 63:1-6
63 Who is this who comes from Edom, from Bozrah, with his garments stained crimson? Who is this, this one who is clothed with majesty, striding in the greatness of his strength? It is I, the one whose speech is righteous, the one who is powerfully able to save. (2) Why are your garments red, like the garments of him who stomps in the wine press? (3) I have stomped in the wine press alone; of all the peoples there was no one with me. Indeed, I stomped upon them in my anger and I trampled upon them in my wrath. Their blood splattered my garments, and I have stained all my clothing. (4) I trampled upon them because the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redemption has come. (5) I looked, but there was no one to help; I was astonished that no one could give support; so my own arm procured salvation for me and my wrath sustained me. (6) I trampled down the peoples in my anger; in my wrath I made them drunk with their spilt blood, then I poured their blood on the ground.
