The Redeemer Shall Come to Zion

Written By Ricardo McGee

Isaiah 59:20

This verse is fundamental to Messianic prophecy. The Redeemer, or Go'el in Hebrew, denotes the kinsman-redeemer—an entity responsible for restoring familial inheritance and rights. Isaiah 59:20 states that the LORD assures the arrival of a Redeemer to Zion, intended not for judgment, but for restoration. This is not a universal visitation; it is exclusively for those who repent from transgression in Jacob. Repentance is the essential element that harmonizes the heart with redemption.

Rabbinic tradition associates this verse with the anticipation of Mashiach ben David. In Romans 11:26–27, Paul explicitly cites this verse to assert that “all Israel shall be saved,” linking the arrival of the Redeemer with the covenant and the expiation of sin.

This prophecy finds its earliest fulfillment in Yeshua the Messiah. He arrives not merely to absolve but to transmute. His atonement beckons both Jew and Gentile into the New Covenant; but, Isaiah’s terminology maintains emphasis on Jacob—highlighting God’s steadfast dedication to national Israel. The Messianic hope is not an abstraction; it is grounded in covenant, geography, history, and promise.

The return to Zion, in both spiritual and physical contexts, is associated with the mission of the Redeemer. This verse asserts that God's restorative plan is not a reaction but a preordained design. The Redeemer will arrive. Those who renounce sin and adhere to God’s covenant will receive Him.

  • Messiah as Kinsman-Redeemer: Yeshua embodies the function of Go’el, reclaiming what sin and exile have usurped.

  • Rehabilitation Connected to Repentance: The promise is not automatic; it is covenantal and relational—extended to those who repent.

  • Zion as the Central Focus: God's redemptive strategy is centered on Zion, both in a physical and prophetic context.

  • Paul's Apostolic Confirmation: Romans 11 links Isaiah 59:20 to the complete salvation of Israel in the Messiah.

  • Hope Anchored in Prophecy: This is not metaphorical language; it is a tangible promise anticipating complete eschatological realization.
