<p> &nbsp;Isaiah 3:22 (b) It is evident that the garments referred to in this passage represent and are types of the outward show with which hypocrites adorn themselves, thinking that this outward pretense and sham will influence our Lord in the time of His judgment. White feathers may cover a black skin. </p> <p> &nbsp;Isaiah 63:1-2 (b) This apparel of the Lord Himself tells us something of the story of His character. The red garments are a public announcement that the Lord GOD of [[Heaven]] will trample His enemies under foot so that the blood will stain His garments. It is an announcement that He will not forever tolerate rebellion in the hearts of men. He will tread the winepress and shed the blood of the enemies in His anger and wrath. [[Christ]] wears that same apparel ( &nbsp;Revelation 19:13). He wears this red garment when He comes back to earth to rule the nations with a rod of iron, and GOD will make His enemies His footstool. </p> <p> &nbsp;Zephaniah 1:8 (b) The word in this passage probably refers to false doctrines, false beliefs, and false faiths. In the New [[Testament]] this same truth is presented in mt22, in the case of the man who wore his own garment when he should have worn the king's garment. </p>
