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.
The verse is introduced first by Isaiah 59:16 (KJV)
Yea, truth faileth; and he tha tdeparteth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
God saw that there was no judgment, no Intercessor, no man to save and He was displeased. It was God who therefore brought His own judgment, Intercessor, and Saviour. God’s response to His displeasure was to provide salvation. He did not respond in wrath. He responded in grace.
Consider that all of this happened, according to the Word of God, before the foundations of the world.
· Before there ever was a sinner
· Before there ever was an evil act
· Before there was ever a need for judgment, an Intercessor, and a Saviour
God was already displeased with the wicked heart of man and had already graciously brought to him a means of salvation.
