Isaiah 61:2

To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord - the year of jubilee on which 'liberty was proclaimed to the captives' (; ).

And the day of vengeance of our God. The 'acceptable time of grace' is a "year;" the time of "vengeance" but a 'day' (so ; ; ). Jesus (Luke 4:20) "closed the book" before this clause; for the interval from His first to His second coming is "the acceptable year:" "the day of vengeance" will not be until He comes again (2 Thessalonians 1:7).

Our God. The saints call Him "our God:" for He cometh to "avenge" them (; ). Primarily Israel speaks. The Lord comes again as their God, to avenge them on their enemies (cf. ).

To comfort all that mourn. The "all" seems to include the spiritual Israelite mourners, as well as the literal, who are in called "them that mourn in Zion," and to whom refers.
