Did Jesus proclaim the day of Vengeance.?

Did Jesus proclaim the day of Vengeance.?











Luke 4:18-19 Jesus went up to the synagogue (temple) and was given a passage of Isaiah book to read. He read:

Luk 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Luk 4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.


Luk 4:20 And he closed the book.


Why did Jesus closed the book? He had not finished reading the passage that was given to Him to read.
Let's look at Isaiah the passage that was given to Jesus to read:

Isa 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

Isa 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

He stopped at "to proclaim the day of vengeance".

Answer: This was because early in the life and ministry of Jesus, he had not been rejected yet by the Jews and Israel. He was only rejected later, nearing the end of His life, then the day of vengeance came upon the nation of Israel, the city of Jerusalem and particularly the Temple.

So the teaching that "He didn't read that part was because the days of vengeance is going to happen in our future" is WRONG interpretation. It is WRONG eschatology.
