God Gets His Hands Dirty
12. Jesus’ Proclaimations
1 Who is this coming from Edom,
from Bozrah, with his garments stained crimson?Edom,
Who is this, robed in splendour,Edom,
striding forward in the greatness of his strength?Edom,
‘It is I, proclaiming victory,Edom, mighty to save.’Edom,
2 Why are your garments red,Edom,
like those of one treading the winepress?Edom,
3 ‘I have trodden the winepress alone;Edom,
from the nations no one was with me.Edom,
I trampled them in my angerEdom,
and trod them down in my wrath;Edom,
their blood spattered my garments,Edom,
and I stained all my clothing.Edom,
4 It was for me the day of vengeance;Edom,
the year for me to redeem had come.Edom,
5 I looked, but there was no one to help,Edom,
I was appalled that no one gave support;Edom,
so my own arm achieved salvation for me,Edom,
and my own wrath sustained me.Edom,
6 I trampled the nations in my anger;Edom,
in my wrath I made them drunkEdom,
and poured their blood on the ground.’Edom,
Isaiah 63:1-6
Here the prophet Isaiah gives two contrasting certainties. They can be found in Isaiah 61:2. The two certainties are “the year of Yahweh’s favour, and the day of vengeance of our God”. There will be the year of favour and the day of vengeance. The year of honour, as we shall see has already started. We don’t know when it will end, but we know that it will. The day of vengeance will be in the future sometime. Again we don’t know when that will be either. But we know it will all happen quickly, suddenly and without warning (Isaiah 60:22). Therefore people need to be ready and alert! The time of when it will occur is not known, but it is known who will end it – Almighty God.
