displeased him. Heb. was evil in his eyes Ge 38:10 2Sa 11:27 2Ch 21:7

16 And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.

he saw Isa 50:2 64:7 Ge 18:23-32 Ps 106:23 Jer 5:1 Eze 22:30 Mr 6:6

therefore Isa 52:10 63:3-5 Ps 98:1

17 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.

19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.

shall they Isa 11:9-16 24:14-16 49:12 66:18-20 Ps 22:27 102:15,16 113:3 Da 7:27 Zep 3:8,9 Mal 1:11 Re 11:15

when. This all the Rabbins refer to the coming of the Messiah. If say they, ye see a generation which endured much tribulation, then expect Him, according to what is written, 'When the enemy shall come in like a flood'. The enemy Re 12:10,15-17 17:14,15

the Spirit Isa 11:10 Zec 4:6 2Th 2:8 Re 20:1-3
