Isaiah 54 to 59as a cloak.Verse 17: Salvation: This is one of the several verses in Isaiah where the word"salvation" stands alone with no preformatives or sufformatives and is equal to thename Jesus. It is interesting that in all these places the context is messianic and 3 of the5 places also have the word NAZAR in the same contexts. See the notes on 52:7 forlinks.18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries,recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense. 19 So shall theyfear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun.When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up astandard against him. 20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and to them thatturn from transgression in Jacob, says the LORD.Verse 20: Redeemer: For the reason for this reference to the Messiah see the noteabove in verse 16,21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, says the LORD; My spirit that is uponyou, and my words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of yourmouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed, nor out of the mouth of your seed's seed,says the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.Return to Commentary DirectoryGo Back to Moellerhaus Hompagehttp://www.ao.net/~fmoeller/isa54-59.htm (8 of 8)2006-08-01 11:50:41
