The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD—the sevenfold endowment of the messianic figure with divine gifts, establishing his qualification to rule with justice and righteousness. The accumulation of spiritual gifts suggests comprehensiveness and completeness, indicating that the future deliverer will lack nothing needed to accomplish his redemptive work. This verse establishes the messianic figure as anointed by the Holy Spirit, the one through whom God's purposes are fully realized.
