What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Cyril of Alexandria
If we want to know the meaning of these words in the person of God and Father, then we say that he calls the Son "his righteousness." For we are saved in him … through his great mercy.… He is called "righteousness" and "salvation" and rightly so. For he has removed all evil from us and, freeing us from the chains of death, has led us into eternal life.… Those who were once weak and prostrate on the ground grasp his right hand and gain the hope of an unexpected salvation. …
Western Saints
Thomas Aquinas
Second, he sets out the nearness of the judgment: my just one is near at hand, namely, Cyrus, or Christ; my savior is gone forth, already in my foreknowledge, above: I have brought my justice near (Isa 46:13). Third, he sets out the usefulness of the judgment: arms, powerful men, by my power, Cyrus and Darius; the islands shall look for me, various peoples will hope in me, seeing the liberation of the people, above: he will set judgment in the earth (Isa 42:4).
