Show Me Indian Breast.

to enter into battle

From Chapter 56:9 to chapter 59 the prophet lists the sins of the people of God: Judas
guides do not provide for the spiritual needs of the people but are focused on their own interests;
  • want "to enjoy life without worries (56:11-12);
  • God's people practice magic;
  • Adultery and sacred prostitution (and not);
  • All sorts of idolatry (57:3-etc.)
  • Search
  • protection in the power of foreign kings rather than the power of God (v. 9);
  • Think of taking pleasure in the search ways of God, through fasting and religious practices but in reality it has abandoned mercy neglecting the needs of the poorest brothers and sisters (58);
  • Prosecutions rather than forgive or confess their sins;
  • Talk with falsehood (v. 9 ) (59:15)
  • prosecute you him who turns away from evil (59:15).

Man's sin stands as an insurmountable barrier between him and God, so God hides his face and no longer listen to the voice of the man (59:1-2) God is deeply regretted the lack of probity and amazed that no one intervenes to curb (59:15-16).

For this reason, the Lord of Hosts decides to go into battle in the first person wearing the breastplate of righteousness, the helmet of salvation, the robe of vengeance, the mantle of jealousy (59:16-18): Justice and
salvation through the Savior who comes from Zion (v.20) to all the oppressed and humble in spirit who wish to repent from their sinful ways (57:14-19);
jealousy and revenge to all opponents (59:18-19 ).

We read in Isaiah 61:
1 The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the humble; sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to those who are slaves the opening of the prison to the prisoners, 2 to proclaim the year of the Lord, the day of vengeance of our God to comfort all those who mourn, 3 to make, to give to the afflicted of Zion a diadem instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of pain, the mantle of praise instead of a spirit of heaviness, that they may be called Elah of Justice, the planting of the LORD to show his glory.
This is the song that he read in the synagogue of Nazareth Jesus until the first part of verse 2, then came the words "year of the Lord" closed the book and said, "Today this scripture has been fulfilled you hear." (Luke 4:16-21).
The first coming of Jesus, his death, his resurrection and his ascension to heaven have opened the year of the Lord. The ark of salvation is now open for anyone who wants to believe and go as it was the Ark of Noah, who preached justice before the flood (2 Peter 2:5). But the day of vengeance is almost upon us and if God could not bear the sin of the times of Judas, which could be the mood today, and look at the road from Heaven without restraint is taking a modern society? The same
Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53 will return to the days of vengeance described in Isaiah 63. He comes from the earth, to kill all the pagan powers arrayed against God by unclean spirits gather in Armageddon (Revelation 16:12-16, 29:11-21) and establish his kingdom of glory in Israel with his saints.
