Discuss Isaiah 61 Page 4

Imo this Isa. 61/10 answers to the Transfiguration scriptures he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood which is the church, This shows that christ and his vesture are gonna be made 1 his vesture is the church, th bride. Isaiah says the bridegroom is clothed with the bride and the bride is clothed with the bridegroom, Abide in me and i in you, A marriage on the 7 th day in th mount of GOD GBU

Children of israel(Jacob son's) went into captivity throughout history. They are still in captivity (bondage/serve slavery) till this day. Jeremiah 14:2 says Judah Mourns. Christ our savior who is from tribe of Judah is manifested to restore the tribes of Israel. All Gentiles will be amazed at end of the world that they mistreated his people. Isaiah 14 explains verses 5-6.

V.1 - " ... to proclaim liberty to the captives and the opening of prison to them that are bound ... " - is one and the same. Jesus (God) used 'doublespeak' quite a lot to make His meanings clearer. He knew His hearers were of varied understanding. 'Captives' are captives of sin, just as those in prison are; it's one and the same.

Hallelujah to the Lamb that was slain ...What a mighty God we serve...so many promises in this one passage it is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thank You Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PARADOX ! BEHOLD THE DAY OF VENGEANCE OF OUR GOD IS AT HAND TO COMFORT ALL THAT MOURN ! THE FINAL OUT POURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS COME ! ALL THINGS SHALL BE FULFILLED IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND THE TRUE BRIDE OF OUR BLESSED LORD AND SAVIOR CHRIST YESHUA JESUS FULLY RESTORED GLORY TO OUR GOD ALMIGHTY YAHWEH AMEN AND AMEN INDEED ! ELIJAH IS NEIGH AT HAND ! SHALOM ISRAEL ZION AMEN !

Those who believe in God and do His will will be rewarded abundantly and enjoy all the fruits of salvation. Yet thosr who are not Holy and robs the Lord will earn accordingly. Holy Spirit must always be our gurdian in achieving the Lord's rightousness.

my mother who passed away into the hands of our God back in 1996 got up one morning many many decades ago and told me that the lord wanted me to read isaiah 61 for it was for me. since all those years ago it has stuck with me and i have been led by the spirit to where i was needed, and now the light that in in those scriptures has come full circle and i understand it's complete meaning. GBUA

Isaiah 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

I'm just blessed just just blessed

The beautiful meaning of chapter 61 to me is that this is the material the old Religious leaders had and studied at that time. They should have known this as being a great prophesy to come. However, when Jesus appeared in front of them at the Temple in LUKE 4:18, He opened the Bible and "read" or told them exactly who HE was with rephrasing Isaiah 61 in front of them. In fact, I do not think He read it. He spoke it to them. He was telling them who He was, why He was born, and what He was to accomplish. They said later on in Luke that Jesus could not be that Person because they knew Him to be the "carpenter's son". Then, they took Him out of the Temple to try to kill Him in anger. he walked through them. It was not His time to die. The Prophesy of Isaiah 61 had been fulfilled.

The favor of God has been forgiven freely to me and I need to go round and share this gift of grace with others who are going through life struggles such as sickness , lost of love ones , addiction, financial , etc. God is able to fix this situation no matter how big or small it may seem. Just don't loose your faith , keep on keeping on because his favor is more than sufficient for everyone who comes to him.

I want to know what the significance is of the first verse having "is " in italics. The spirit of the Lord "is " upon me... In the original Hebrew text, the word is "was ". The spirit of the Lord "was " upon me... But I cannot find any commentary that explains this seemingly benign change or reference to a change. And to the commenter who wrote about being a prisoner or a captive, I find that an interesting thought. But I do not like when the phrase under the law is used to speak of God 's law. It 's the law of sin and death that is opposite of grace. To say the law is opposed to grace is to say God is opposed to himself and that he makes bad policy that needs to be corrected. It is we that need to correct our miseducation. Thank you for your help.

The whole chapter just helped me found my purpose in life...GOD created each one of us for a purpose,do u you know your purpose in life???? If not,pray about it,ask God holy spirit to guide you.

Jesus cannot stop loving us, We are precious to our God and all our names are written in the palm of his hands. How great is our Lord Jesus. He is a good Shephered who always lay down his life for his sheeps. We must praised Jesus and thank for his precious blood that shed for us as this is the symbol of his love and mercy. Thank you Jesus you are the Savior, Powerful and Faithful to his promises. Jesus loves u

The year of the Lord, the year when God 's people will enter rest, just as the 7th day after 6 days of creation, the 7,000th year a day is a 1000 year for the Lord and a 1000 years is as a day for the Lord , the start of Mellenium of Christ 's reign. NO NO NO, not the New World Order, a counterfeit of the real Millenium.

The awareness the that the LORD will cause our righteousness to spring forth just like the way the garden does to the plants, I don 't have to struggle to be righteous, mine is to fully equip my heart with the word of God.

Love it! God called me with confirmation many years ago with this passage! Through many valleys low and mountian tops and I have already come and saw many beautiful experiences with many people as well as myself THANK YOU LORD! The Holy spirit whispered in my heart many years ago! Praises to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords!

A tree of strength has been planted in me through Jesus Christ that is available at the whisper of a prayer. It will change mourning to joy when I praise God for his spirit of strength that uplifts me. A joy comes when I depend on the God 's spirit of strength and not on my weak strength. Praise the Lord for His unfailing strength and goodness.

Very good

God 's spirit is so unique that the meek, the brokenhearted,the captive and the prisoners can also benefits from Him. this can be done through people like us. "Those in Christ Jesus ".

Here is some thinking outloud, it seems interesting. A captive is someont that is capture no fault of theirs. and a prisoner is something they have done to be in prison. Part of the verse say proclaim (maybe teach them) and the captives go free and the other part of the verse seems more involved -Open the door for them for them to go free. Matt 5:25 seems to say to me that if you are a prisoner, satan has put you there from being under Law instead of Grace. I don't know here but captive seems to be like something someone did to you like maybe unfaithful husband ruined your marragie and now you seem captive to hurt or unforgiveness. So maybe when we pray for people we should ask God if they are a prisoner or captive? prisoner or captive , satan did it and needs to be dealt with through God's power that is released through us. But just wanted to give the person some truth and keep them free.

I think the moment that we begin to mourn over thee ashes of our character and have heaviness of heart for our lack of Christ likeness I believe at that moment God the Father begins to super naturally beautify us, put PRAISE in our hearts, and abundantly lavish upon us thee oil of joy and gladness, the personality of the HOLY SPIRIT is this OIL....!!!!

FULL OF BEAUTY AND HOPE. HALLELU*JAH* TO THE *KING OF GLORY* THE *LORD CHRIST JESUS*.

THANK*YOU* *FATHER* OF SPIRITS. *YAHEE*. X Ed.

Isaiah 61 is a very nice scripture that tells us about Christ and our ministries (Believers)to this world.

Verse 1 is talking about Lord Jesus Christ, NOT anybody.

Nataleigh - another commentary explains it like this: The Sun of Righteousness is Jesus Christ and it is in reference to the millenial reign of Christ after the anti-christ has been done away with. In Jeremiah he references Jesus as our Righteousness and in other passages Jesus is referred to as our sunrise.

God’s desire has always been to provide righteousness to those who trust Him (e.g., Genesis 15:6). On some occasions, God’s people were said to be “clothed in righteousness” ( Job 29:14; Psalm 132:9; Isaiah 61:10), and here in Malachi 4:2 God’s people will see the Sun of Righteousness Himself rising over the world. It’s a picture of the future millennial reign of Jesus Christ. The darkness of the Antichrist’s reign will vanish, and the light of God will take its place. It’s a new day dawning; God’s people will revel in their freedom like gamboling calves leaping from their stalls ( Isaiah 65:17-25; Hosea 14:4-7; Amos 9:13-15; Zephaniah 3:19-20).

I hope this helps some. Good question though as it invokes one to research the phrase and hence we all learn from it.

@ Sandie, when Jesus taught his disciples how to pray, He started off with: Our father which art in heaven... Luke11:2. So yes our prayers do go to heaven. Isaiah 61:1
Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne,
and the earth is my footstool: where is the
house that ye build unto me? and where is the
place of my rest?

The Lord showed me this verse after losing our seventh child at 19wks. Just dead at the ultrasound, even though we'd heard the heart 10 days before. Oh Lord, make this into a beautiful thing for your glory and splendor.

Great is our God who has given to us His righteousness.
