Greetings Hunger and Thirst, The point of view being expressed here is Isaiah the prophet's. However, since Isaiah is being inspired by God to speak and write these words he is consequently voicing God's point of view. As for the specific filthy rag, I believe that Isaiah's statement here is, at least in part, referencing chapter 61, verse 10, where he says "I will rejoice greatly in the LORD... For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness..." What Isaiah is saying is that any "good works" or "righteous deeds" that we would do to make ourselves more acceptable to God, in contrast to God's awesome righteousness are like dirty rags compared to a beautiful robe. Since it is Christ’s robe of righteousness that saves us from sin, the point is being made that we have absolutely no power to save ourselves. It is only by the grace of God, through Christ’s righteousness that we are able to be saved. Ocelot |
