Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 59:18

Theological / Devotional

A breastplate. Isaiah pictures Christ as an armed warrior entering into the struggle for man’s salvation. This is war, but the conflict is not fought with carnal weapons. The breastplate and helmet are weapons of defense designed to protect the head and the breast, the two most vulnerable parts of the body (see Eph. 6:14, 17).

Garments. Christ was to carry the battle to the gates of the enemies of His people.

Zeal. His zeal made Him fearless, and struck terror to the forces of evil (see Ps. 69:9 ; 119:139).
