Finally, he has put on the armor of righteousness, and the helmet of salvation, and the garments of vengeance, and has wrapped himself in the cloak of zeal. Thus, armed, he has gone forth to battle, to exact vengeance upon his enemies. Without a doubt, this signifies the Jews, who persist in blasphemies, and the Roman army surrounding their enemies. When they are conquered, the Lord is shown to have fought. Paul used this testimony when writing to the Ephesians, and wanting us to put on the armor of Christ, by which we may be able to resist the fiery darts of the devil. And this is not found in the Septuagint: He will repay the islands, that is, he means the cities of Judea, which the Roman army devastated. For also above, the Lord speaks to the inhabitants of the island, that is, to Jerusalem, through the Prophet.<br/><i>— Commentary on Isaiah</i></p><p><b>Theodore of Heraclea</b>: [Isaiah] says that God shares salvation, which is exchanged for repentance and understanding with those deserving, who put on righteousness just as if it were their garment. He says nothing less than that God is girded with the righteous deeds of human beings, just like body and head armor. Such things are said with reference to God to enthuse the listeners and to raise up their thoughts as being those capable of becoming the garment of God and so sharing his righteousness.<br/><i>— FRAGMENTS ON ISAIAH</i></p>","source_html_sha256":"ea3771a78812b324cde3b535bef32f59cf6d7c32bdc345341371be2210fecbef","source_module":"ECF","source_row_id":7746,"source_url":"https://www.sermonindex.net/commentary/ecf/","text_sha256":"08ea8d1ae1cd4419ccab48145be0826893d0b860dbece1a6fcb8380caa0ea607","translator":null,"work":null}
