Isaiah 61:10

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Isaiah 61:1-11

1. The speaker is the prophet, either in his own person, or in that of the Servant of Jehovah. The mission here spoken of is identical with the mission of the Servant as already indicated; e.g. to bind up, etc. (cp. Isaiah 42:3, Isaiah 42:7), and, again, proclaim liberty, etc. (cp. Isaiah 42:7; Isaiah 49:9). This phrase is taken from the law of the year of jubilee (Leviticus 25:8-10). Our Lord applies the passage to His own work in Luke 4:16. Anointed] i.e. to prophetic office (1 Kings 19:16).... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Isaiah 61:10

(10) I will greatly rejoice . . .—The speaker is again, as in Isaiah 61:1, the ideal Servant of Jehovah, who identifies himself with the people and slaves. The Targum, it may be noted, makes Jerusalem the speaker.The garments of salvation . . .—The imagery is the same as that of Isaiah 59:17 and Isaiah 61:3, its entirely spiritual significance being, perhaps, still more strongly accentuated.As a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments.—Literally, wears a turban (or mitre), as a priest. It... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Isaiah 61:1-11

Isaiah 61:1 Speaking against the South, on 3 February, 1863, John Bright declared: 'I cannot understand how any Englishman, who in past years has been accustomed to say that "there was one foul blot upon the fair fame of the American Republic," can now express any sympathy for those who would perpetuate and extend that blot. And more, if we profess to be, though it be with imperfect and faltering steps, the followers of Him who declared it to be His Divine mission "to heal the broken-hearted,... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Isaiah 61:10

61:10 {s} 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.(s) He shows what will be the affection, when they feel their deliverance. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Isaiah 61:1-11

MEETING OF THE AGES We are drawing to the end of the present, and the opening of the Millennial age. The prophet’s eye rests on the time when Israel is back in her land, the majority still unconverted to Christ and worshiping in a restored temple. There is a faithful remnant waiting for Him, though enduring the persecution of the false christ. This persecution may often be felt at the hands of their own brethren after the flesh. These facts must be assumed in the interpretation of these... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Isaiah 61:10-11

I see no reason to limit this Song of joy and exultation to the Church. We shall have very blessed views of the Church's Lord and Saviour, if we accept the words as first spoken by Christ, and next as adopted by the Church, from her conscious union with Christ, and an interest in all that belongs to him. When God the Father gave Christ his Church, it is said, that it was his heart's desire, and that his glory was great in his salvation. See Psalms 21:1-6 . It is always blessed, yea, it is twice... read more

10,11 Those only shall be clothed with the garments of salvation hereafter, that are covered with the robe of Christ's righteousness now, and by the sanctification of the Spirit have God's image renewed upon them. These blessings shall spring forth for ages to come, as the fruits of the earth. So duly, so constantly, and with such advantage to mankind, will the Lord God cause righteousness and praise to spring forth. They shall spread far; the great salvation shall be published and proclaimed,... read more

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
