Verses 12-13
12, 13. Hearken… ye stout-hearted The strong of heart, who are far from righteousness, are all who, despite of these almighty demonstrations, still harden themselves, whether heathen or apostate Jews. The Lord still entreats them, showing unwillingness to give them up. As usual, there is in him compassion as well as power. These show unalterable love on Jehovah’s part, and exhibit his character as one with that of our blessed Lord in the New Testament. See Matthew 2:0.
I bring… my righteousness “Righteousness,” here, has the elements of demanding and bestowing demanding men to submit, and be-stowing pardon on submission. This attribute is in constant exercise.
It shall not be far off Salvation is the object for which it is in exercise, for which it is present. Zion is the seat of the devotions of the true Israel. The shekinah, or divine glory, shines within Zion and upon a regenerate people.
This is the theology of Isaiah, and it is the glorious Gospel throughout the Bible.
