1Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength (ASV, 01)?
Interestingly the figure what is approaching him is coming from the land of Edom and the city of Bozrah. His features are reflecting His glory and His strength is apparent. This character is clothed with gloriousness and strength. This is analogous to the view the apostle John had of the Lord Jesus in His resurrected glory, which we saw in the first chapter of the Revelation. This is man is arrayed with the Shekinah glory. He is Messiah. The Lord then gives Isaiah an answer to his question.
Isaiah 63:1b
I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save (ASV, 1901). There is only one person in all of creation and Heaven who can "speak in righteousness" and has the power to save. It is our Lord Jesus. He is marching toward Israel from the city of Bozrah. The Lord's bloodstained garments were caused by the battle fought in the land of Edom within the city of Bozrah. He fought against the nations alone. During the course of the battle the blood of the combatants were sprinkled on His clothes staining them red. He had to conduct the fight to redeem the nation, Israel. He fought all alone as there were none to help Him.
Clearly the battle is initiated at Bozrah and by the time Christ reaches Israel He has stained His garments with the blood of the enemy.
