In the context of Isaiah, it reflects God's promise to deliver Israel from its enemies. The imagery of oppressors consuming their own flesh suggests internal strife and self-destruction among those who persecute God's people. This can be seen as a fulfillment of the principle of divine justice, where the wicked face the consequences of their actions. Historically, this reflects the fate of nations that opposed Israel, often experiencing internal collapse. Theologically, it underscores God's sovereignty and His ability to turn the plans of the wicked against themselves.they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine. This phrase continues the metaphor of self-destruction, emphasizing the completeness of the oppressors' downfall. The comparison to being drunk with wine suggests a loss of control and a state of confusion, which is often a result of divine judgment. In the ancient Near Eastern context, blood and wine were both seen as life forces, and this imagery conveys the idea of life being turned against itself. This can be connected to the broader biblical theme of the cup of God's wrath, as seen in passages like <a href="/jeremiah/25-15.htm">Jeremiah 25:15-16</a>, where nations drink the cup of God's fury and stagger.Then all mankind will know that I, the LORD, am your Savior and your Redeemer, This phrase highlights the ultimate purpose of God's intervention: to reveal His identity and power to all people. The titles "Savior" and "Redeemer" are significant, as they denote God's role in delivering and restoring His people. The term "Redeemer" is particularly rich in meaning, often associated with the kinsman-redeemer in Hebrew culture, who had the responsibility to protect and reclaim family members in distress. This points to God's covenant relationship with Israel and foreshadows the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, who is seen as the ultimate Redeemer in the New Testament.the Mighty One of Jacob.” This title emphasizes God's strength and His special relationship with the patriarch Jacob, representing the nation of Israel. The "Mighty One" conveys God's power and ability to protect and deliver His people. This title is used throughout the Old Testament to affirm God's faithfulness to His covenant promises. It also serves as a reminder of God's historical acts of deliverance, such as the Exodus, and His ongoing commitment to His people. In a broader theological sense, it points to the messianic hope fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who is seen as the embodiment of God's might and salvation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a> The covenant God of Israel, who is portrayed as the Savior and Redeemer. 2. <a href="/topical/o/oppressors.htm">Oppressors</a> Those who have persecuted or harmed God's people, representing any force or nation against Israel. 3. <a href="/topical/j/jacob.htm">Jacob</a> Refers to the nation of Israel, descended from Jacob, also known as Israel. 4. <a href="/topical/m/mankind.htm">Mankind</a> All people who will witness God's deliverance and judgment. 5. <a href="/topical/i/isaiah.htm">Isaiah</a> The prophet through whom God delivers this message of hope and judgment.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/g/god's_sovereignty_and_justice.htm">God's Sovereignty and Justice</a> God is portrayed as both Savior and Judge, emphasizing His ultimate control over all nations and events. <a href="/topical/d/divine_retribution.htm">Divine Retribution</a> The vivid imagery of oppressors consuming their own flesh symbolizes the self-destructive nature of sin and rebellion against God. <a href="/topical/a/assurance_of_deliverance.htm">Assurance of Deliverance</a> Believers can find comfort in God's promise to deliver and redeem His people, reinforcing trust in His faithfulness. <a href="/topical/u/universal_recognition_of_god.htm">Universal Recognition of God</a> The passage points to a future where all humanity will recognize the LORD's sovereignty, encouraging believers to live in anticipation of this reality. <a href="/topical/i/identity_in_god.htm">Identity in God</a> Understanding God as the "Mighty One of Jacob" helps believers root their identity in God's unchanging nature and His covenant promises.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_isaiah_49.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Isaiah 49</a> <a href="/q/who_are_jesus'_biblical_ancestors.htm">Who are the ancestors of Jesus according to the Bible?</a> <a href="/q/evidence_for_israelite_resurrection_belief.htm">If Psalm 49:15 promises redemption from Sheol, what historical or archaeological evidence supports the Israelite belief in a personal resurrection at that time?</a> <a href="/q/what_is_god's_will_for_me.htm">What is the meaning of Psalm 49:7?</a> <a href="/q/meaning_of_'lion_of_the_tribe_of_judah'.htm">What does 'Lion of the Tribe of Judah' mean?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/isaiah/49.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(26) I will feed them that oppress thee . . .--The words are, of course, symbolical of the utter collapse, the self-destructive struggles of the enemies of Zion, i.e., of the company, or Ecclesia, of the redeemed.The mighty One of Jacob.--Same word, and that a rare one, as in <a href="/isaiah/1-24.htm" title="Therefore said the LORD, the LORD of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of my adversaries, and avenge me of my enemies:">Isaiah 1:24</a>.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/isaiah/49.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 26. - I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh (comp. <a href="/isaiah/9-20.htm">Isaiah 9:20</a>).
