Notes Continuing with the theme established for the "shoot from the stem of Jesse" in Isaiah 11:2 and the Servant of the Lord in Isaiah 42:1, here we are told again that Messiah will have the Spirit of God upon him. In John 1:32 John the Baptist says that the Sprit of God descended and "abode upon" Jesus. Again in John 1:34 the Baptist says that Jesus has been given the Spirit of God without measure. Some see Isaiah 61 as Isaiah himself providing comfort and consolation to the suffering Israeli exiles in Babylon. But the only one capable of fulling these prophecies would be the Messiah Himself. Jesus specifically applies Isaiah 61:1-2 to himself in Luke 4:17-21. Isaiah 61:1 paints a picture of the Trinity by referring to the "Lord God" (God the Father), the "Spirit of the Lord God" (the Holy Spirit) and "me" (Messiah, the Son of God).

The Messiah would preach the good news.

And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears." Matthew 9:35 "And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people."

Notes As Isaiah 50:4 states, "...The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary..." Isaiah 61:1 presents Messiah as anointed to "preach good tidings" to "the meek." The phrase "preach good tidings" is from the Hebrew "basar," meaning "to announce glad news," to "preach, publish, show forth, or bring good tidings."1 This is quite literally the meaning of the "Gospel." The "good tidings" in Isaiah 61:1 is the "good news" of salvation through the belief and personal acceptence of Jesus as one's Lord and savior. The word "meek" is best understood as "afflicted, distressed, or "needy."2 The Septuagint translated it as "poor." In Matthew 11:28 Jesus says, " Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." 1. Hebrew-Greek Key Study Bible 2. Barnes Notes, Isaiah, page 372

Notes The phrases "to proclaim liberty to the captives" and "the opening of the prison to them that are bound" are closely related as they speak of man's enslavement to the power of sin and Satan, which leads to our absolute inability to keep God's Law, and ultimately to death. 2 Timothy 2:26 speaks of "...the snare of the devil" and how mankind is "taken captive by him at his will." Since Adam, all men are born with the "sin gene." We are captive to sin in our lives, and by ourselves defenseless against the prince of this world, Satan. James 2:10 says "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." God created the Law, which was holy and just, and He also created a sacrificial system of atonement because man could not measure up to the perfection of the law. But it was not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins (see Psalm 40:6, 51:16, Isaiah 11:1, Hosea 6:6, Hebrews 9:6-15, 10:1-22). The sacrifical system was a foreshadowing of the ultimate sacrifice to come, Jesus "...the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." In Matthew 5:17 Jesus says "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." Man's sin needed to be paid for by man, but only one man was sinless and therefore worthy, such a man who was not born of a human father like all those since Adam, but of the Holy Spirit of God (Luke 1:34-35). Jesus' death at Calgary was the fulfilment of the Law. "The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:56-57). Jesus has the keys to unlock to doors of sin's prison (Revelation 3:7). "STAND fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage" (Galatians 5:1).

The Messiah would proclaim a period of grace.

Notes The "acceptable year of the Lord" can be likened to the "day of salvation" in Isaiah 49:8 where at a precise point in the human timetable God, through His grace, would willingly unveil His plan of redemption and extend salvation to all that accept that His son Jesus died for their sins, and rose from the dead providing eternal life to all that believe. Instead of being accountable to a set of perfect and divine laws that the imperfect man could never achieve, God provides a way for all men to have salvation by the substitutionary sacrifice of one man who did in fact achieve the law. Only through the sacrifice of one who had never sinned could those who had sinned be saved. Just as the act of one man unleashed the disease of sin unto all mankind, so the act of one man provides the antidote. When someone accepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior, God's Holy Spirit indwells that person with a new awareness of sin, and a desire to keep God commandments. See Ezekiel 36:24-28 for a description of how the Holy Spirit will indwell the regathered people of Israel at the second coming of Jesus. Jeremiah 31:31 says "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah." Thus the death of the Messiah signified the end of the period of the Law and the beginning of the period of Grace. In a graphic example of the end of the period of the Law, Matthew 27:50-51 records, "Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent."1 The veil was a curtain within the temple that acted as a divide between the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies. It separated the priests in the temple from the most sacred inner room. Once a year, on the Day of Atonement, the high priest seeking forgiveness for all of Israel's sins, would go into the Holy of Holies and sprinkle blood upon and before the ark. With the mission of Messiah complete, the era of sacrifices (that were a model of the ultimate sacrifice to come) was over. Now in this new covenant, the period of grace, we have a great High Priest who through His shed blood cleansed us of our sins and made it possible for us to come before the presence of God. The phrase "...the acceptable year of the Lord" is seen as a type of "year of Jubilee" described in Leviticus 25:10, "And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family." Just as indentered servants were set free, so mankind, who has been a slave to that great antagonist Satan, shall be set free as salvation and forgiveness for sins is provided through the work of Jesus. We are free to reunited with God, and walk with Him again as Adam once did. Finally, "...the acceptable year of the Lord" has is also understood by some to refer to the comfort, deliverance, and the blessings bestowed upon Israel at the onset of the Messianic age to come. However it is recorded in Luke 4:20 that Jesus, after reading this passage, stated that "...This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears"2 and thus in the fullest sense "...the acceptable year of the Lord" is the period of Grace which continues from the death and resurrection of Jesus, until this present day. Yet the period of Grace will not last forever. Have you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior? At the time of "the day of vengeance of our God" described in Isaiah 61:2, it will be too late for those who have not already accepted Jesus. Do not delay, now is the day of salvation. 1. An earthquake announced the emergence of the period of Grace, note the dramatic environmental events that accompanied the giving of the Law from Mount Sinai in Exodus 19:16, "And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled." 2. Luke 4:16-21 records and many Bible commentator's note that while reading Isaiah 61:1-2 in a synagog, Jesus stopped and closed the book after reading up to "to preach the acceptable year of the Lord," in verse 2 and said "This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears." Jesus purposely did not read the remainder of Isaiah 61:2 which spoke of the "vengeance of our God" because that was a prophecy to be fulfilled at His second coming. This is an often-referenced example of how just a space between two words in prophecy can represent thousands of years. This is particularlly true in Isaiah.
