Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Isaiah 61:5

"And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen and vinedressers."That there should be a new society in which the Jews would be the favored upper crust, and that the Gentiles would do all of their menial work is a perverted interpretation of these words. As Barnes explained it: "The idea is that it would be a time of signal spiritual prosperity, and that it would be so great and glorious as if foreigners were to come in among the people and take over the... read more

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 61:5

(5) Strangers shall stand . . .—i.e., like servants waiting for their master’s orders. The implied thought of the whole passage is, as in the next verse, that all Israel is raised to the dignity of a priestly caste, leaving the rough work of the world to be done by foreigners, who stood on a lower level. (Comp. Sir. 38:31-34.) read more

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
