The Spirit empowered ministry of Jesus marked the time for the restoration of Israel in fulfillment of both Isaiah 42 and Isaiah 49. Jacob was being brought back, the remnant (preserved ones) were being restored; in the day of Israel’s salvation. As the light to the nations and the covenant to his people, Jesus was leading Israel to springs of living water in the first century. When the Spirit descended upon the Servant, the time of restoration had arrived.
