You may have watched the scene in the series "The Chosen" when Christ came back to His home town in Nazareth and was asked to give a reading and interpretation from the Scriptures. He quoted the Prophet Isaiah from Isaiah 61, but He didn't finish what Isaiah said. He stopped reading and closed the book in the middle of Isaiah 61:2.
"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,"
Christ didn't finish this part, "and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;"
In the series the Priest asked Christ why He stopped and didn't finish. He said, "I didn't come for vengeance." We don't know If those were the words of Christ but it does fit the situation that took place. The first advent was not for vengeance, it was for salvation to the Jews.
It's believed Christ read this in the synagogue from Isaiah on the first Sabbath of the Year of Jubilee that came about every 15th year, on the first day of the Year of Jubilee.
"And the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all that mourn," takes place at the Second Coming of Christ when He executes vengeance on the nations of the world that are trying to destroy Israel. This is when the anti-Christ is destroyed and his armies, and as Paul said, "and all Israel shall be saved."
The mourning that Christ will comfort is the mourning of Israel when they see that Jesus of Nazareth has just saved them from total destruction, and He has been their long awaited Messiah their forefathers put to death.
At this time the prophet Zechariah records what will take place in the land of Israel, and when the Lord will comfort all that mourn.
Zechariah 12:9-14
"And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
In that day shall there be a great mourning in Jerusalem, as the mourning of Hadadrimmon in the valley of Megiddon.
And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart;
The family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;
All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart."
