What does Isaiah mean by 'fury is not in me'?

Answered in 1 source

'Fury is not in me' signifies God's absence of anger toward His elect, as He has poured out His wrath on Christ instead.

The phrase 'fury is not in me' from Isaiah 27 communicates a profound truth about God's disposition towards His elect. This assurance indicates that God's anger, which rightfully exists against sin, has already been fully satisfied through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. For believers, this means that they are no longer under condemnation or wrath because Christ has absorbed the penalty for their sins. God’s statement serves as a comfort, encouraging believers to understand that God's chastisement is not borne from anger but rather from His love and desire for their growth and holiness. This reinforces the gospel message that peace with God is available to all who believe in Jesus.
