Isaiah 63:6 Meaning and Commentary

Isaiah 63:6

And I will tread down the people in mine anger
(See Gill on Isaiah 63:3), and make them drunk in my fury;
or with it ^F19 the wrath of God is signified by a cup, which he gives wicked men to drink, and which is an inebriating one to them, ( Psalms 75:8 ) ( Isaiah 51:17-23 ) ( Jeremiah 25:15 ) , and here it signifies the cup of the wine of the fierceness of God's wrath, which shall be given to mystical Babylon, to antichrist and his followers, ( Revelation 14:10 ) ( 16:19 ) : and I will bring down their strength to the earth;
their strong kingdoms, fortified cities, and mighty men, their wealth and riches, of which they boasted, and in which they trusted; see ( Isaiah 26:5 ) . The eighteenth chapter of the Revelation is a commentary on these words.

Isaiah 63:6 In-Context

4 For I planned the day of vengeance, and the year of My redemption came.

5 I looked, but there was no one to help, and I was amazed that no one assisted; so My arm accomplished victory for Me, and My wrath assisted Me.

6 I crushed nations in My anger; I made them drunk with My wrath and poured out their blood on the ground.

7 I will make known the Lord's faithful love [and] the Lord's praiseworthy acts, because of all the Lord has done for us- even the many good things [He has done] for the house of Israel and has done for them based on His compassions and the abundance of His faithful love.

8 He said, "They are indeed My people, children who will not be disloyal," and He became their Savior.
