Hi-lite: Isaiah 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;
2
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of
our God; to comfort all that mourn;
Jesus suspended the reading of this passage (Luke 4:16-21) with the words "year of the Lord." The first advent, therefore, opening the day of grace, "the acceptable year of the Lord," but does not fulfill the day of vengeance that will be accomplished when Messiah returns (2 Th. 1:7-10.)
Luke 4:16 And he came to Nazareth, where
he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue
on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
17 And there was delivered unto him
the book of the prophet Esaias. 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.
2 Thessalonians 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us,
when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God,
and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from
the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to
be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was
believed) in that day.
Isaiah 34:8 For it is the day of the LORD'S
vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
Isaiah 35:4 Say to them that are of a fearful
heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance,
even God with a recompence; he will come and save you.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you accomplish both.
