Isaías 61

Isaías 61

Morris writes - This terrible prophecy was fulfilled in A.D. 70 when the Roman army under Titus destroyed the temple completely. The destruction of the city and dispersion of its people was completed in A.D. 135. Did not recognize - If the Jewish scribes had really searched and studied the Scriptures (especially Daniel 9:24,25 - note), they could have known "the time of thy visitation." (Defender's Study Bible) Comment - The Greek word visitation was used either of a visit that brought good or bad. The tragic irony of Jesus' statement is that if Israel had recognized His time of visitation, it would have meant salvation, but their failure to recognize His visit meant it would bring judgment.
