Isaiah 61 is a messianic prophecy about preaching good news and freedom "in the year of the Lord's favour". This text was applied to himself by Jesus in Luke 4:17-21. The Messiah is anointed by the Spirit to preach good news to the poor and to comfort all who mourn. Then the rebuilding of ancient ruins is predicted renewing ruined cities and you will be called ministers of God enjoying everlasting joy. God then declares his love for justice and promises an everlasting covenant and their descendants will be known among the nations. The chapter concludes rejoicing for being clothed with righteousness, like bride and bridegroom, making righteousness and praise spring up before the nations.
