63:10 Holy Spirit is literally “Spirit of his holiness.” According to Alec Motyer, “this passage is full of the person of the Spirit as a distinct divine Being. . . God revealed in the Old Testament is the Holy Trinity incognito.”
63:11-14 God’s grace was not eradicated, in spite of Israel’s sin. These verses contemplate a second exodus where God again will deliver his people from their oppressors (cp. 4:5; 11:15-16; 40:3-5; 43:18-19; 48:21).
63:15 Isaiah began a lament that continues to 64:12. It bemoaned the fact that God had not yet enacted his exodus mercies (63:11-14). God seemed to be up in his heavenly home, distant from his people.
63:16 The appeal is made to God as a son makes an appeal to his father. God’s fatherhood supersedes even that of father Abraham as well as his son Jacob/Israel, who gave his name to his descendants.
