_Salvation In Sight._
III. THE DIVINE SAVIOUR (ch. lxiii. 1-7). Once again the prophet turns to hail, in his periodic transport, the Solitary Divine Hero and Saviour of His people. That the writer of this piece is the main author of "Second Isaiah" is probable, both because it is the custom of the latter to describe at intervals the passi…

_Who is this coming from Edom,_ _Raw-red_ his _garments from Bossrah!_ _This sweeping on in his raiment,_ _Swaying in the wealth of his strength?_ _I that do speak in righteousness,_ _Mighty to save!_ _Wherefore is red on thy raiment,_ _And thy garments like to a wine-treader's?_ _A trough I have trodden alone,…
633 wordsSECTION 183_A Last Intercession And The Judgement._
ISAIAH lxiii. 7-lxvi. We might well have thought, that with the section we have been considering the prophecy of Israel's Redemption had reached its summit and its end. The glory of Zion in sight, the full programme of prophecy owned, the arrival of the Divine Saviour hailed in the urgency of His feeling for His peopl…
1,134 wordsSECTION 184_A Last Intercession And The Judgement._
But this intention of the prayer will amply account for any change of style we may perceive in the language. No one will deny that it is quite possible for the same man now to fling himself forward into the glorious vision of his people's future salvation, and again to identify himself with the most hopeless aspects of…
848 wordsSECTION 185_A Last Intercession And The Judgement._
Two points stand out from the rest. The Divine Trust, from which all God's dealing with His people is said to have started, and the Divine Fatherhood, which the prophet pleads. _He said, Surely they are My people, children that will not deal falsely: so He was their Saviour._ The "surely" is not the fiat of sovereignt…
947 wordsSECTION 186_A Last Intercession And The Judgement._
We have a New Testament echo of this Old Testament belief in the Fatherhood of God, as a moral and not a national relation, in Paul's writings, who in the Second Epistle to the Corinthians (vi. 17, 18) urges thus: _Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; …
704 wordsSECTION 187_A Last Intercession And The Judgement._
Ch. lxv. is thus closely connected, both by circumstance and logic, with the long prayer which precedes it. The tendency of recent criticism has been to deny this connection, especially on the line of circumstance. Ch. lxv. does not, it is argued, reflect the Babylonish captivity as ch. lxiii. 7-lxiv. so clearly does; …
686 wordsSECTION 188_A Last Intercession And The Judgement._
To the people, then, either in the near prospect of Return, or immediately after some of them had arrived in Jerusalem, the prophet addresses a number of oracles, in which he pursues the division, that ch. lxv. had emphasized, between the two parties in Israel. These oracles are so intricate, that we are compelled to t…
965 wordsSECTION 189_A Last Intercession And The Judgement._
A new section begins with ver. 7, and celebrates to ver. 9 the sudden re-population of the City by her children, either as already a fact, or, more probably, as a near certainty. Then comes a call to the children, restored, or about to be restored, to congratulate their mother and to enjoy her. The prophet rewakens the…
675 wordsSECTION 190_A Last Intercession And The Judgement._
We have thus gone step by step through the chapter, because its intricacies and sudden changes were not otherwise to be mastered. What exactly it is composed of must, we fear, still remain a problem. Who can tell whether its short, broken pieces are all originally from our prophet's hand, or were gathered by him from o…

_Lord, are there few that be saved?_ The Lord did not answer the question but by bidding the questioner take heed to himself: _Strive to enter in at the strait gate_. * * * * * Almighty and most merciful God, who hast sent this book to be the revelation of Thy great love to man, and of Thy power and will to save him,…
