A vision given to Isaiah of a victorious leader returning from battle in royal splendour.
From this text we learn that God wins a great victory in Jesus: He is the triumphant king returning from victory in battle. This battle was won at personal cost. God gets involved personally stained as He judges sin. It's a picture of the suffering Christ. Even more, this victorious battle is won alone. This has to be so. God has to work. It also describes the isolation of Jesus Christ, supremely at the Cross.
In this victory, all our enemies will be defeated. The wrath of God falls on all who oppose him. This punishment falls either on Christ at the Cross, or at the end of all things in the final judgement.
