Lots of names for Christ are used in this chapter:
LORD
God
Redeemer
Holy One of Israel
Saviour and thy Redeemer
The mighty One of Jacob (interesting that might is not capitalized, but One and Jacob are).
everlasting light
61:3 interesting antithesis to the daughters of Zion in the beginning chapters of Isaiah.
The term "judgment" is used often in Isaiah, often in reference to not treating the poor and meek well. The topical guide points out that it refers to accountability, justice, and equity. In this definition we are to judge the poor, that is to see that they are equitably treated, and we are held accountable for doing so.
