The Healing of Messiah
We have recently been considering the 'Healing of Nations', the groundwork of which we have laid and will continue at another time, but we turn now to the Healing of the Person, and the types of Healing that Jesus , Yshua conducted in His earthly ministry. In the Old Testament, in Isaiah 61, the pronouncement is made of what the earthly ministry of Messiah, the King of Israel will contain, and it is reaffirmed in the reading of Jesus in the Temple at the beginning of his ministry, with miracles as signs and affirmations of His Messiahship:
Isaiah 61:
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, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
Luk 4:17-9 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
