Greetings PK DAN, here are some notes to Isaiah 61.. Let me know at nkeck98@yahoo.com if you need more. "61:1-3 (Though these are words spoken by God’s servant Isaiah, the words take on greater meaning when Jesus reads from this section during His visit to the synagogue in Nazareth and closes His reading with the statement, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing” (Luke 4:21). Thus, He applies the verses to Himself. These verses describe the character and office of the Messiah. The reference to “liberty” and “opening of the prison” allude to the Year of Jubilee, during which all debts and obligations were erased (cf. Lev 25:8-9, note). The expression “beauty for ashes” is quite meaningful. Jewish mourning included wearing of sackcloth, i.e., coarse and drab clothing, and spreading dust and ashes upon one’s head. On the other hand, a happy occasion called forth splendid and colorful garments and the pouring of expensive and fragrant ointment upon one’s head. “Mourning” can be replaced with “joy,” and “the spirit of heaviness” can be cast aside for an eternal “garment of praise” (v. 3). 61:6 The thought here is that Israel will share her spiritual wealth with the nations, and in exchange will participate in everything which is great and noble among the nations." (Believer's Study Bible) "61:1-3 The ministry of Messiah at His first coming is described in verses 1-2a and at His second coming in verses 2b-3. In claiming to be Messiah, Jesus Christ read in the synagogue only that which applied to His ministry during His first coming (Luke 4:18-19). The day of vengeance brings judgment on unbelievers. At the same time Messiah will comfort Israel, which will have undergone the persecution of the Tribulation. 61:4-11 A description of conditions in the millennial kingdom. double (v. 7). Refers to double honor." (The Ryrie Expanded Edition Study Bible) I have many more sources.. Nolan |
