Bible Scholars & Experts: What does "the Spirit of the Lord is upon me" in Isaiah 61: 1-3?

Under Jesus proclaims his mission at Nazareth in the New Testament, the above is also written in Luke 4: 18 when our Lord Jesus read its text coming from Isaiah's book, enumerating tasks of what to do, which are: to bring good news to the poor, to proclaim liberty to captives and new sight to the blind; to free the oppressed and announce the Lord's year of mercy. Even though Jesus said: "Today these prophetic words come true even as you listen.", these remain in status quo, i.e., not yet fulfilled. So, contrary to Catholic Church's conclusion as POEM, Jesus himself said it as prophetic words.

There is one replier named Peter who responded in yesterday's Q & A (re: Is Isaiah Chapters' 56-66 a poem or not?) said: "Bible eschatoligists seem to have good ideas of what has been fulfilled, what my reoccur." This statement is already contrary to John 14: 17, quoting: "that the Spirit of Truth whom the world cannot receive" which means no one in the world like the Catholic Church, theologians, eschatologists, evangelists, historians and Bible scholars & experts can receive or obtain the truth and hence, the replier's statement violates the rule even if he disagrees with me, the asker Winston Kayanan, a non-Bible reader from the Philippines whom God has freshly taught to read & understand the Bible. And in John 15: 26, it says: "From the Father, I will send you the Spirit of Truth who comes from the Father. When this Helper comes, he will testify about me.". In here, we are talking of a mortal man, i.e., chosen with the mission to uncover the lie of the world & show clearly what its sin has been, what the way to righteousness is, and how judgment has come. This has been done since 2005. The lie has been revealed to USA's NASA-GISS, some 30 foreign governments, local & international media, environmental educational schools, religious institutions, NGOs, the scientific community, and the people in the net. In fact, this lie is the 666 (already identified) in Rev. 13: 18. This means that the Spirit of the Lord is with the SERVANT in Isaiah's 40-55 and 56-66 because he knows the lie of the world and how he will counter it in order to rebuild earth into a garden of Eden since God has already given His grace of Salvation ahead before all scriptures pertaining to END OF TIMES will be revealed.

This is supposed to be Jesus Christ's mission but, instead, God planned a SERVANT (the reincarnation of Jacob, with strength of Cyrus) will do the tasks in Isaiah 61: 1-3. It is said in John 16: 13-14: "When he, the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into the whole truth. He will not give his own message but will speak only of what he hears & he will tell you of the things to come. He will take what is mine & make it known to you; in doing this, he will glorify me." Please take note that there are two "he" here in John , meaning: the Spirit an the mortal man. Why? It is because the Spirit needs a mortal man to testify to people who can be mocked, hated, prosecuted jailed or worse, killed.

The anti-Christ here is not applicable. The prophet Isaiah had prophesied. The SERVANT has proclaimed & announced of what had happened, what has happened and will happen or about to come (closely knitted together). God has confined the meaning of the END OF TIMES in Daniel 7-12, Genesis 1-3, 2 Peter 1-3, Revelation 1-22 and the last, Isaiah 40-66. All codes were perfectly & accurately decoded to match present times. Surely, the Catholic Church, theologians, eschatologists, evangelists and other Bible scholars & experts do not know them because they acted as historians, meaning: their interpretations came from the past. Prophecy is a prediction of the future and not a prediction of the past. You don't study them when prophecies have not occurred. Someone (chosen by God) must know them & then proclaim before they occur & come true. That should be the rule if we talk about the Spirit of the Lord is upon me (the chosen one who will perform the things for God & also glorifies our Lord Jesus Christ).

Update:

Sorry, I omitted the word "mean" in the question.

    "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me", means just what it says, the Spirit of the Lord is upon me. It is only because you do not understand or you do not believe what a Spirit is. The Spirit of the Lord is the Christ. A Spirit can not speak therefore a Spirit must become flesh in order to be seen and heard by other spirits living in the flesh.

    A Spirit is greater than a spirit, but no Spirit is as great as the Holy Spirit.

    "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me" in Isaiah 61: 1-3 means that J'esus had been anointed by the Holy Spirit and that He was the anointed one or the Messiah (in ancient Greek, Christ). He was starting the Messianic Era which was to bring the Good News of the New Covenant and the redeeming of sinners and blind, sick, and cast out.

    The Messianic Era was a period where prisoners were to be set free, debtors had to forget debts owned by others, the crops had to be left for an entire year. Every 50 years is the jubilee is on. This is a similar time for forgiving and letting go of debts. It is a new start.

    The end of times does not mean the end of the world, but the end of a time, or period. For instance, J'esus had prophesized the fall of the Jewish Temple which marked the end of the Jewish era for almost 20 years! Whatever will happen now is not for us to know yet. Just be ready. for "you do not know the time nor the hour". You know we may be close to the end of another time or era but that does not mean it will be the end of the world or the apocalypse. The "end" can be started by people, the antichrist (there are lots of small ones nowadays), or even a disaster. But I don' know and won't speculate about it as it is not going to change anything. Just follow the Goden Rule.

    WOW

    a real firework of criss-cross

    I read read carefully and understand (well I think I understand) what you mean.

    Im not a Bible sholar and cant give you other verses as 'proof' for whatever.

    But maybe a different angle onto your question would be good.

    First a tiny little thing.

    you said: 'the reincarnation of Jacob'

    Christians dont believe in reincarnation, there is no such thing. On Judgement day we will rise out of the grave. That's all we do.

    The mayority of prophecies are in the old testament (OT)

    All books of the OT are from the Tora (the holy roles of the jews)

    Same god, same rules.

    The Tora and OT is full of the one who will come and save us. In the time of the OT the people were waiting for the savior.

    What makes us Christians different is that we regard Jesus Christ as son of God, as our savior. That why we are call Christians.

    The jews dont. They are still waiting.

    Look at the text again with that in mind. The OT gives clues who to expect. One group belives he is found the other group doesnt. So OT and NT will contradict be nature of the dispute.

    You are talking rubbish.

    Luke 4:18 - Jesus himself said it - not as prophetic words - but as it having been fulfilled, accomplished, and in action that very day - in him.
