**acceptable year of the Lord**
Observe that Jesus suspended the reading of this passage in the synagogue at Nazareth [Luke 4:16-21](../../../kjv/luke/4/16-21) at the comma in the middle of [Isaiah 61:2](../../../kjv/isaiah/61/2). The first advent, therefore, opened the day of grace, "the acceptable year of Jehovah," but does not fulfil the day of vengeance. That will be taken up when Messiah returns [2 Thessalonians 1:7-10](../../../kjv/2-thessalonians/1/7-10) Cf. ; [Isaiah 34:8](../../../kjv/isaiah/34/8); [Isaiah 35:4-10](../../../kjv/isaiah/35/4-10). The last verse, taken with the 4th, gives the historic connection: the vengeance precedes the regathering of Israel, and synchronizes with the day of the Lord. ; [Isaiah 2:10-22](../../../kjv/isaiah/2/10-22); [Revelation 19:11-21](../../../kjv/revelation/19/11-21); [Isaiah 63:1-6](../../../kjv/isaiah/63/1-6).
