Isaiah 59 depicts humanity's inability to save itself and God's own intervention as Redeemer, including the language of an intercessor and a Redeemer coming to Zion.

The fulfillment passages listed here (Matt 10:32) illuminate the Christian application summarized as "Intercessor between man and God." The correspondence is meaningful within the New Testament portrait of Jesus, but where the New Testament does not explicitly quote this exact Isaiah verse as fulfilled, it is best described as a theological or messianic correspondence rather than claiming more precision than the biblical writers themselves state.
