主第二次来的职事是报仇的职事
受膏者还要宣扬“我们神报仇的日子。”这是指主第二次来说的，因为祂第一次来的时候，并没有报仇。祂第二次来的时候，要为以色列人伸冤，宣扬神的报仇。
以赛亚六十一章一至三节，头一部分是指主第一次来时的职事（赛六一1-2上），第二部分是指祂第二次来时以色列的复兴（赛六一2下-3）。因此，这段话含示基督的第一次来和第二次来。在以赛亚的豫言里，主两次的来就像两座山峰，从远处看，像是一座。为此，以赛亚将基督的第一次来和第二次来放在一起。
主两次的来带来以色列的复兴
主第一次的来与第二次的来很有关系。没有祂第一次来立下根基，祂就无法第二次来。基于基督第一次来时所作的，祂的第二次来要带进以色列的复兴。
主耶稣第一次来时，从犹太人中得着头一批门徒，诸如彼得、约翰和雅各。他们成为祂的信徒，但这并不表示他们要放弃犹太人的身分，因为在千年国里，这头十二个门徒要作统治者，坐在宝座上，审判以色列十二支派（太十九28）。在复兴的时候，就是当主第二次来的时候，祂要先得着祂祖大卫的宝座（路一32），并要治理万邦。祂的十二使徒要帮助祂治理以色列民。由此可见基督第一次来所作的，与祂第二次来所要作的，其间的关系。
在神眼中，主两次的来乃是基督独一的来的两面。可以说，基督的来到地上还没有完成。祂在两千年前开始临到人类，这独一的来并未完成，还要藉着祂第二面的来继续完成。当祂第二面的来完成的时候，就使祂从神临到人的整个过程得着终极完成。现今祂的来尚未完成，因为祂仍在途中。所以，基督独一的来是有两个部分。第一个部分发生在两千年前，第二个部分要在将来完成。

The Ministry of the Anointed of Jehovah (2) – Isa. 61:1-2
The Lord Second Coming Is the Ministry of Vengeance
The Anointed will also proclaim “the day of vengeance of our God.” This refers to the Lord’s second coming, for in His first coming He did not carry out vengeance. In His second coming He will avenge Israel, proclaiming the vengeance of God.
The first part of Isaiah 61:1-3 refers to the Lord’s ministry in His first coming (Isa. 61:1-2a), and the second part refers to the restoration of Israel in His second coming (Isa. 61:2b-3). Hence, this portion of the Word implies both Christ’s first coming and His second coming. In Isaiah’s prophecy the Lord’s two comings are like two mountain peaks which, when viewed from a distance, seem to be one peak. For this reason, Isaiah put Christ’s first coming and second coming together.
The Lord’s Two Comings Bring in the Restoration of Israel
The Lord’s first coming has much to do with His second coming. Without the foundation laid in His first coming, there would be no way for His second coming to take place. Based upon what He did in His first coming, Christ’s second coming will issue in the restoration of Israel.
In His first coming, the Lord Jesus gained His early disciples, such as Peter, John, and James, from the Jews. They became His believers, but this does not mean that they have given up their Jewish status, for in the millennial kingdom the first twelve apostles will sit on thrones as rulers to judge the twelve tribes of Israel (Matt. 19:28). In the restoration, when the Lord returns in His second coming, He will first receive the throne of David His father (Luke 1:32), and then He will be the Ruler of the nations (Rom. 15:12). His twelve apostles will be His helpers to rule over the nation of Israel. From this we can see the relationship between what Christ did in His first coming and what He will do in His second coming.
In God’s eyes the Lord’s two comings are two aspects which show one unique coming of Christ. In a sense, Christ’s coming to earth has not yet been completed. He began to come to mankind two thousand years ago. Since His unique coming has not been finished, it will continue with the second aspect of His coming. When the second aspect of His coming is accomplished, His entire coming from God to mankind will be consummated. Today His coming is not finished, because He is still on the way. Therefore, the unique coming of Christ is of two sections. The first section took place two thousand years ago, and the second section will be accomplished in the future.
