Mighty to save.

Isaiah 63:01-09
“It is I, proclaiming victory, mighty to save.”
It was for me the day of vengeance; the year for me to redeem had come.
He has done for Israel, according to his compassion and many kindnesses.
It was for me the day of vengeance; the year for me to redeem had come.
I trampled the nations in my anger; in my wrath I made them drunk and poured their blood on the ground.
He said, “Surely they are my people, children who will be true to me”; and so he became their Savior. In all their distress he too was distressed,  and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and mercy he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
Edom (which means red) with its capital, Bozrah, represents all the enemies of God's people. This is an appalling picture; but until the enemy is defeated. God's people cannot be set free.
Why?
God is the one mighty to save!
God make vengeance and redeem his people.
In God's anger and wrath, he made enemies drunk and poured their blood on the ground.
God is the Lord with compassion and many kindness. God is the redeemer to his people, 
God was distressed in all their distress, God was sad when he punished those people.
In the day of God's vengeance is the year of God to redeem had come. No too long for the coming of salvation and redeemer.
How?
God is the Lord of righteousness and love with deep compassion.
