In this Verse, we have a Question, ⟨p. 3⟩and the Answer to it. The Prophet propounds the Question, Who is this? This wonderful Conqueror that comes thus gloriously arrayed, who is it? Christ Answers, It is I. In his Answer he gives a description of himself. (1.) From his Fidelity: I that speak in Righteousness: What he speaks, he does faithfully perform. He is always as good as his Word.

From his Power and Ability: He is Mighty to Save.
