• In our chapter this judgment is presented as the personal act of the One who is called “Mine own Arm”, taking place when salvation was accomplished on behalf of God and His people. At that solemn moment “the day of vengeance” will be in His heart, that day spoken of in chapter 61 verse 2, which our Savior did not read in the synagogue at Nazareth. That day of vengeance will introduce the year of redemption for God’s people. Judgment being God’s “strange work” (28:21), it will be a “short work” (Rom. 9:28). Hence vengeance is only for a day compared with the year of redemption. (“Isaiah 63” by F.B. Hole)
