isaiah 63:2 Why is Your apparel red, And Your garments like the one who treads in the wine press?

< Isaiah 63:1
Isaiah 63:3 >

      2. The prophet asks why His garments are "dyed" and "red."
      winefat--rather, the "wine-press," wherein the grapes were trodden with the feet; the juice would stain the garment of him who trod them (Re 14:19, 20; 19:15). The image was appropriate, as the country round Bozrah abounded in grapes. This final blow inflicted by Messiah and His armies (Re 19:13-15) shall decide His claim to the kingdoms usurped by Satan, and by the "beast," to whom Satan delegates his power. It will be a day of judgment to the hostile Gentiles, as His first coming was a day of judgment to the unbelieving Jews.
