The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Isaiah 61:1-11

The Lord's Year of Jubilee. The chapter opens with a powerful description of the office of the Servant of Jehovah, of the Messiah Himself. v. 1. The Spirit of the Lord God, of the all-powerful Ruler, the covenant God, whose name is Jehovah, is upon Me, because the Lord hath anointed Me to preach good tidings, a joyful message, the Gospel proclamation, unto the meek, to those subject to spiritual misery; He hath sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted; to proclaim liberty to the captives and... read more

3—THE THIRD DISCOURSEThe Personal Centre of the Revelation of SalvationIsaiah 61, 62 and Isaiah 63:1-6Great works are never accomplished without great men. After reading chapter 60,sone involuntarily asks himself: Who will be the instrument in God’s hand of performing this great work? This question is answered by the Prophet in the three chapters, 61–63, in which he speaks of Him who will bring complete salvation to Israel, but will judge the heathen. Most modern interpreters (with the... read more

“The Acceptable Year of the Lord” Isaiah 61:1-11 Messiah’s mission , Isaiah 61:1-3 . At Nazareth our Lord applied these words to Himself. Let us care for the outcasts as He did; but to do so, we need to be anointed with the Holy Spirit, who rested so mightily on Him. The acceptable year is clearly that of Leviticus 25:8-13 . Our Lord, when quoting this, stopped at the comma, Isaiah 61:2 , because the day of vengeance is not yet. See Luke 4:19 . Mark that it is only for a day! God not only... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Isaiah 61:1-11

Passing from the description of material prosperity, the prophecy describes the inner secret, namely, spiritual realization. This description opens with a new declaration of the Servant of the Lord. The anointed Messenger declares His appointment, and describes His program. All the deliverance described is to be due to the message which He delivers. In the light of the use made of this passage by Christ, it is interesting to consider the program. "To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord"... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 61:1-11

THE COMING OF THE DELIVERER AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ZION ( Isaiah 59:15 to Isaiah 62:12 ). Isaiah wanted them to know that God sees their desperate condition and determines to act. He looks for a man, someone to stand in the gap, but there is none. So He Himself acts. He will step in on behalf of His people. He will bring them a Deliverer, a Redeemer, One Who is clothed in righteousness and salvation, and also One Who is clothed in vengeance and zealousness for God. He is concerned with... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 61:8-9

For I, Yahweh, love judgment, I hate robbery with a burnt offering, And I will give them their recompense in truth, And I will make an everlasting covenant with them. And their seed will be known among the nations, And their offspring among the peoples, All who see them will acknowledge them, That they are the seed which Yahweh has blessed. By now it is Yahweh Himself Who is speaking. All that has been described must be so because God is determined to produce a world in accordance with His... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 61:10-11

The Anointed One Is Clothed Suitably For His Task (Isaiah 61:10-11 ). Isaiah 61:10-11 ‘I will greatly rejoice in Yahweh, My inner being will be joyful in my God, For he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, He has covered me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom puts on as a priest his head-dress, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. For as the earth brings forth her bud, And as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth, So the Lord Yahweh... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 61:5-11

Isaiah 61:5-1 Kings : . The prophet now addresses the people directly. Men of other nations shall serve as labourers at their bidding and call them “ Yahweh’ s priests,” or “ Servants of our God,” recognising Yahweh as such. As a priestly caste they will enjoy the wealth of the peoples, as priestly tithe, and deck (so emend “ boast” ; cf. LXX) themselves in their splendours. This privileged treatment is justified. For as their (so emend “ your” ) shame was in double measure, and ignominy... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 61:8

For I the Lord love judgment: q.d. They have suffered a great deal of hardship under their enemies, and I will do them right; for I love justice in myself, and in them that practise it. Or he gives a reason why he will recompense those strangers that did so freely minister to his people. I hate robbery; all things gotten by injustice, though it be for sacrifice. As God will not accept of that which cost nothing, so much less of that which is the effect of rapine and oppression; a foundation... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Isaiah 61:9

Their seed shall be known among the Gentiles i.e. eminently; a promise of the increase of the church; such shall be their prosperity and multiplying, that they shall be known abroad by their great increase. Or else the meaning is, The church shall have a seed of the Gentiles, the borders of the church shall be enlarged; whereas it hath been confined as it were to one corner of the world, now it shall remain in one nation alone no more, but shall fill all the nations of the earth. They are the... read more
