Bible Question: is there any information on this scripture available? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Heffernandestiny, There is much insightful commentary available for Isaiah 61:1. Here are a few offerings that I have.. "61:1 Spirit...Lord God...Me. The 3 persons of the Holy Trinity function together in this verse (6:8; cf. Matt. 3:16,17). liberty to the captives. The "captives" are Israelites remaining in the dispersion following the Babylonian captivity (42:7)." (3) "(1) Observe that Jesus suspended the reading of this passage in the synagogue at Nazareth (Luke 4:16-21) at the comma in the middle of Isaiah 61:2. The first advent, therefore, opened the day of grace, "the acceptable year of Jehovah," but does not fulfill the day of vengeance. That will be taken up when Messiah returns (2 Thess. 1:7-10). Cf. Isaiah 34:8; 35:4-10. ..." (1) "... 1:3: Luke 4:16-20; compare Matt. 11:5; Luke 7:22. God sends his prophet to bring encouragement to the exiled and oppressed; he will make them mighty oaks (Isaiah 60:21; Jer. 17:8). ..."
