The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah • Appendix IX
Redeemer coming to Zion applied to Messianic times in Sanh. 98a and Pesiqta 166b
Deliverer from Zion
Isaiah promised a Redeemer coming to Zion for those who repent.
Old Testament
Isaiah 59:20
"The Redeemer will come to Zion, to those in Jacob who repent of their sins," declares the LORD.
New Testament
Romans 11:26
and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: "The deliverer will come from Zion; he will turn godlessness away from Jacob."
Why This Matters
Isaiah promised a Redeemer coming to Zion for those who repent. Paul quoted this in Romans to affirm that God has not abandoned his ancient people—a deliverer has come from Zion. Jesus' redemptive work reaches beyond any single generation or group; his saving mission extends to all who turn to him.
Reflection
Jesus, Ruler of all nations, through Deliverer from Zion expand my vision beyond this passing age to the world You are making new.
