Isa 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
Spirit
Holy Spirit. Isa 63:10. (Gen 1:2; Mal 2:15.)
is upon me
Christ (First Advent). Dan 9:25, 26. (Gen 3:15; Acts 1:9.)
anointed me to preach
good tidings
Gospel. Isa 61:1-3. Mat 3:1, 2. (Gen 12:1-3; Rev 14:6.)
Isa 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
the acceptable year of the LORD
Observe that Jesus suspended the reading of this passage in the synagogue at Nazareth (Luk 4:16-21) at the comma in the middle of Isa 61:2. The first advent, therefore, opened the day of grace, "the acceptable year of Jehovah," but does not fulfil the day of vengeance. That will be taken up when Messiah returns (2Th 1:7-10). Cf. Isa 34:8; 35:4-10. The last verse, taken with the 4th, gives the historic connection: the vengeance precedes the regathering of Israel, and synchronizes with the day of the Lord (Isa 2:10-22; Rev 19:11-21; also Isa 63:1-6).
the day of vengeance
Day (of destruction). Isa 63:1-6. (Job 21:30; Rev 20:11-15).
Isa 61:8 For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
an everlasting covenant
Covenant (New). Jer 31:31-34. (Isa 61:8; Heb 8:8-12.)
Isa 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
the robe of righteousness
