The term "Redeemer" is significant, as it denotes one who buys back or delivers from bondage, a concept rooted in the Hebrew word "goel," which refers to a kinsman-redeemer. This is reminiscent of the role Boaz played in the Book of Ruth. Zion, a term often used for Jerusalem, represents the spiritual center of God's people. The coming of the Redeemer to Zion is a fulfillment of numerous Old Testament prophecies, such as those found in <a href="/isaiah/9-6.htm">Isaiah 9:6-7</a> and <a href="/micah/5-2.htm">Micah 5:2</a>, which speak of a ruler coming from Bethlehem to shepherd Israel.<p><b>to those in Jacob who turn from transgression</b><br>This phrase highlights the condition for receiving the Redeemer's deliverance: repentance. "Jacob" is a metonym for the nation of Israel, emphasizing the covenant relationship between God and His people. Turning from transgression implies a genuine repentance and a return to God's ways, as seen in the calls to repentance throughout the prophetic books, such as in <a href="/joel/2-12.htm">Joel 2:12-13</a>. This turning away from sin is a prerequisite for experiencing the redemption offered by the Messiah, aligning with the New Testament message of repentance and faith in Christ (<a href="/acts/3-19.htm">Acts 3:19</a>).<p><b>declares the LORD</b><br>This phrase underscores the authority and certainty of the prophecy. The use of "declares the LORD" is a common prophetic formula that affirms the divine origin of the message. It assures the audience that the promise of redemption is not merely a human hope but a divine decree. This assurance is consistent with the character of God as faithful and true, as seen throughout Scripture, such as in <a href="/numbers/23-19.htm">Numbers 23:19</a> and <a href="/hebrews/6-18.htm">Hebrews 6:18</a>, where God's promises are depicted as unchangeable and reliable.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_redeemer.htm">The Redeemer</a></b><br>This refers to the Messiah, who Christians believe is Jesus Christ.
