Isaiah 61 General Notes
Structure and formatting
Some translations set poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry. The ULB does this with the poetry in this chapter.
The first part of this chapter is probably a prophecy about the coming Messiah and not Isaiah because this was different than the message Isaiah delivered. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/christ)
Special concepts in this chapter
Restoration
This chapter prophesies concerning a future time of peace and restoration. It is unlikely to have been fulfilled in Isaiah's day. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/restore and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/prophet and rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/fulfill)
