Has the day of vengeance in Isaiah 61:2 been fulfilled?

No, the day of vengeance in Isaiah 61:2 has not been fulfilled. The passage places a break between 'the acceptable year of the Lord' and 'the day of vengeance of our God.' The first part was fulfilled at the first advent, but the day of vengeance remains future and has not yet occurred.

Les teaches that Isaiah 61:1 is the verse the Lord referred to, where He came to preach good tidings and proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. That part was fulfilled at the first advent. But the rest of the verse, 'the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all that mourn,' has not happened yet. Les instructs to put a break between the word 'Lord' and the word 'and,' showing the day of vengeance is still future.
