Isaiah 59:19,20 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

These words come in most blessedly, after the former, to show the consequence of Christ's interposition, and the effects of his offices and labour: we have a similar prophesy by Malachi that such should take place; and in Christ Jesus all is yea and amen; Malachi 1:11. And it is among the sweet offices of the Holy Ghost, to glorify Jesus, John 16:14. The Apostle Paul makes application of what is said here of the Redeemer coming to Zion, directly to the person of Christ, Romans 11:26. Reader! think how lovely our God our Kinsman-Redeemer is: and how ought all his brethren to be on the look-out for him, for the full accomplishment of this most blessed promise, when both Jew and Gentile shall be brought into one fold, under one Shepherd, John 10:16.

Isaiah 59:19-20

19 So shall they fear 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 a standard against him.

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