Isaiah 63:1

COMING FROM EDOM

Isaiah 63:1. “Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? This that is glorious in his apparel, traveling in the greatness of his strength?” COMING FROM EDOM.

The constant enemy that has for many ages proved ceaselessly implacable – From the first generation until the present time been totally incompatible. Edom, through the first-born has been morally and spiritually unreliable – Trying to drive Israel into the sea using every means to them available.

Presently in the middle-east – Edom is demanding once again – That the nations all around that area insists Israel submit to them. Never will Edom accept the Messiah who by His death defeated sin – But when the Christ is revealed, they will fear His presence then.

A glimpse into the future shows us retribution will come to pass – The constant unrelenting warfare will surely be ended at last. Once the Lord from heaven is revealed, things will happen fast – Edom will be trampled and destroyed – bitterness a thing of the past.

The Lord will be seen in His glory, revealed there before all – From kings to the poor, all to hills and rocks will call. One after the other, on their knees men will fall – Everyone has an appointment in God’s judgment hall.

Garments are stained with the blood of vengeance, not redemption – Edom and Bozrah find no place for any reconciliation. For Israel and those God called, now they have full salvation - It will all be made plain at the time of the Lord’s revelation.

“A look ahead Father, makes me fear for those of Esau’s seed. The force of their hatred seems so terrible that it is a wonder Israel has survived even until now. When the tribulation comes, I pray that many of the Israelis will turn to Christ early. Be glorified, O God, in Thy people now and during those hard times. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
