The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah • Appendix IX
Applied to Messiah coming after destruction of Gentiles in Midrash
Garments of Vengeance
Isaiah described God clothing Himself in righteousness and vengeance.
Old Testament
Isaiah 59:17
He put on righteousness as his breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on his head; he put on the garments of vengeance and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak.
New Testament
Revelation 19:13
He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
Why This Matters
Isaiah described God clothing Himself in righteousness and vengeance. Revelation shows Christ robed in blood-dipped garments — the Word of God who fights for justice and defeats every enemy.
Reflection
Lord, the kingdom You promised in Isaiah 59:17 is breaking in through Revelation 19:13. Make me a faithful citizen of that kingdom today.
