“The Spirit of the Lord Shall Rest Upon Him”

Bryan Richards

The antecedent of "him" is Christ. This is apparent from the context of the next three verses and is also revealed in DC 113:1-2. This passage is similar to another Messianic passage of Isaiah, 'The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me' (Isa 61:1).

As with other Messianic passages, verses 2-5 do not find their complete fulfillment until the Second Coming and the Millennium, for that is when He will come to destroy the wicked and establish His righteousness.
