Yeshua Hamashiach's Return
- Who is this coming from Edom,
from Bozrah, with his garments stained crimson?
Who is this, robed in splendour,
striding forward in the greatness of his strength? - “It is I, proclaiming victory,
mighty to save.” - Why are your garments red,
like those of one treading the winepress? - “I have trodden the winepress alone;
from the nations, no one was with me.i
I trampled them in my anger
and trod them down in my wrath;
their blood spattered my garments,
and I stained all my clothing. - It was for me the day of vengeance;
the year for me to redeem had come. - I looked, but there was no one to help,
I was appalled that no one gave support;
so my own arm achieved salvation for me,
and my own wrath sustained me. - I trampled the nations in my anger;
in my wrath, I made them drunk
and poured their blood on the ground.”
Isaiah 63:1-7
The prophet, in vision, beholds the Messiah returning in triumph from the conquest of his enemies, of whom Edom was a type. Travelling, not as wearied by the combat, but, in the greatness of his strength, prepared to overcome every opposing power. Messiah declares that he had been treading the wine-press of the wrath of God, and by his own power, without any human help, he had crushed his obstinate opposers, for the day of vengeance was determined on, being the appointed season for rescuing his followers.

Once, he appeared on earth in apparent weakness, to pour out his precious blood as an atonement for our sins, but he will in due time appear in the greatness of his strength. The vintage ripens apace, the day of vengeance, fixed and determined on, approaches apace, let sinners seek to be reconciled to their righteous Judge, here he brings down their strength to the earth. Does Yeshua Hamashiach say, "I come quickly?" Let our hearts reply, Even so, come, let the year of the redeemed come.
