Isaiah 59:20 - Scofield Reference Notes

Bible Comments

Redeemer

Redemption: Kinsman type, summary. The goel, or Kinsman-Redeemer, is a beautiful type of Christ.

(1) The kinsman redemption was of persons, and an inheritance (Leviticus 25:48); (Leviticus 25:25); (Galatians 4:5); (Ephesians 1:7); (Ephesians 1:11); (Ephesians 1:14).

(2) The Redeemer must be a kinsman (Leviticus 25:48); (Leviticus 25:49); (Ruth 3:12); (Ruth 3:13); (Galatians 4:4); (Hebrews 2:14); (Hebrews 2:15).

(3) The Redeemer must be able to redeem (Ruth 4:4-6); (Jeremiah 50:34); (John 10:11); (John 10:18).

(4) Redemption is effected by the goel paying the just demand in full (Leviticus 25:27); (1 Peter 1:18); (1 Peter 1:19); (Galatians 3:13).

( See Scofield) - (Exodus 14:30).

( See Scofield) - (Romans 3:24).

come to Zion

The time when the "Redeemer shall come to Zion" is fixed, relatively, by (Romans 11:23-29) as following the completion of the Gentile Church. That is also the order of the great dispensational passage, (Acts 15:14-17).

In both, the return of the Lord to Zion follows the outcalling of the Church.

Isaiah 59:20

20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
