Isaiah 61:10

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Isaiah 61:1-11

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

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Isaiah 61:1-11

“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 61:10-11

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 61:10

I will greatly rejoice: this by a prosopopoeia is spoken in the person of the church, wherein she doth thankfully acknowledge God’s kindness to her in the forementioned promise, expressed here in the greatness of her affection, with reference both to her present deliverance from Babylon, and to the happiness of her gospel state. In the Lord; or, because of the Lord, or of the goodness of the Lord towards me; a usual form of gratulation, 1 Samuel 2:1; Habakkuk 3:18; Luke 1:47; or thus, I will... read more

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - Isaiah 61:10-11

Isaiah 61:10-11 "The robe of righteousness" is a familiar phrase with evangelical Christians. Adopted, undoubtedly, from the passage just read, it is used to denote that righteousness of the Lord Jesus which they who believe in Him are supposed to have attributed to them by God, so that their actual personal imperfections and defects disappear before Him, like some foul or ugly object beneath the overspreading of a fair white mantle; and He is enabled to accept them for what they are not to... read more

DISCOURSE: 1006THE BELIEVER CLAD WITH THE GARMENTS OF SALVATIONIsaiah 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 rightteousness, as a Bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a Bride adorneth herself with her jewels.THE abruptness of this passage cannot but strike every one who reads it. But this is common in the prophetic writings. The prophets are wont to pass... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Isaiah 61:1-11

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to Isaiah 61:1-11 .We are told in the New Testament that the Old Testament prophets many times wrote of things that they did not really understand. Earnestly desiring, really, to look into these things, but they wrote as the Spirit of God inspired them. And so we find that quite often, the Old Testament prophets did not clearly understand the work of God in creating the body of Christ, the church, from among the Gentiles. Paul the apostle in talking about the... read more
