Interesting rewrite of the saying attributed to St. Augustine! "Shallow enough for a child to wade in and deep enough for an elephant to swim in" Or did you get that from some one else? IMHO (I might steal it from you, either way...)
The more I learn about the Old Testament and the society in which Jesus lived, and how He interacted with the people there, the more I love Him and His Jewishness, and the more I love Israel, the place where He lived.
@@vela-6 Yes, Rabbinic Judaism is nothing like the Judaism that Jesus practiced. What the Jews believe and practice now is essentially a man made religion to make up for the fact that they have been unable to fulfill the sacrificial requirements of the law since the destruction of the 2nd temple in 70 AD, and a bunch of other things that were implemented to hinder people from recognising Jesus as their Messiah, like leaving out parts of the Torah which clearly refer to Jesus when they constructed the Torah Portion (Parasha) and Haftarah. I was actually referring to the Judaism practiced perfectly by Jesus and the rules, regulations and customs which were observed (or not) in Jewish society at that time 🙂
@@SarahBearah2023 Hi, your question got me thinking, so I did a bit of research. Paul (Saul) was born in Tarsus in Turkey, then called Cilicia but he was raised in Jerusalem (Acts 22:1-3). We are introduced to him in as a young man (Acts 7:58) but he was evidently old enough to be travelling over 300 km to Damascus, which was in Syria, to round up Christians and take them back to Jerusalem (over 600 km round trip without a car 🙂) (Acts 9:1-2), so not THAT young. So it seems that until his conversion he spent most of his life in Jerusalem. After his conversion, he preached in Damascus for a while until the Jews tried to kill him. He escaped and went back to Jerusalem where he upset the Grecian Jews and they tried to kill him. So the Christians in Jerusalem sent him off to Tarsus, back to where he was born; they must have thought he’d be safer there (Acts 9:19-30). He stayed there until Barnabas went to get him to help with the church at Antioch (also in what is now Turkey about 234 km away) because it was growing so fast (Acts 11:19-26). It appears that from then on Antioch was his home church. They sent him and others out, on a number of missions (Acts 11:27-30, 12:25; 13:1-3, 14:26; 15:1-2, 15:22; 15:36-41, 18:21-22; 18:23). When he got to Ephesus, on his last mission trip, (he had been there before Acts 18:18-22) he stayed there for at least 2 years (19:1-10), then left to go to Jerusalem (19:21) the loooong way, up into Macedonia and Greece (20:1-2) then back through Troas. He’s arrested in Jerusalem, just as he expected (Acts 20:17, 20:25, 20:37-38) and sent off to Rome and never gets back to Antioch. So I figure his home church is in Antioch but he spent a long time in Ephesus and got very close to them. When he realised he was probably going to be killed, he was concerned about them and sent for their leaders because they were a young church and needed guidance and a heads up (Acts 20:17-35). Whereas the church at Antioch was well established and had plenty of people looking after it (there were five besides Paul when they sent he and Barnabas out). I’m glad you posed the question. I enjoy chasing down answers. Even if you don’t see this reply, I had fun and learned heaps 😁
Isn't God beautiful? Our God and His Son and His precious Holy Spirit, have been, are, and always will be: - BEAUTIFUL! ALL TOGETHER LOVELY! HALLELUJAH! 🙂 💕
I recognize honor in your comment. You honor God so much you capitalize “His” I do the same thing. Bless you. If I see it surely God sees it. God will set you higher and more prominent above the rest because you love His Statutes.
It is sad that the Christian Church is void of this key type of understanding. It is so gratifying and enriching to learn even more meaning of Jesus's actions. Such Majesty! Thank you so much for sharing.
American Christian Church is sanitized and has lost it's Jewish heritage. This is why we know so much about the Bible and so little about the Jewish faith.
Discernment is all but disappeared from the Laodicean church. Our teaching centers around God's love for us God's blessings on us and God's grace on us. Little about Who Jesus is, what did he do and why did he do it , what did he say and what does it mean. We say we worship him but little is taught or understood about Jesus the man.
As Christians we must understand the importance of the Jewish traditions and laws to understand Our Savior Yeshua' actions instead of using modernized opinions and men's interpretations. The beauty of the scriptures reveal themselves through The Spirit.
Once you study Jewish thought and culture of the 1st century, you understand why he did what he did and said what he said. He wouldn’t have much to be in agreement with modern American Christianity which is exactly what he railed against in his own culture. He was a rabbi whose purpose was to reform Jewish religion back to its original intent. Context is everything, both biblical and cultural. Most Christians couldn’t care less and thus, miss the point.
@mariwillalwaysgivethanks why would I just the example of Abraham sacrifice his son gods stops him cause it his son that will be sacrificed. They say that's not what it means. But it is written in that massorah. Why do they lie.
@@doug7180 I'm not sure if I understand your question. But I have a possible understanding of why Abraham was asked to sacrifice Isaac. The Most High gave the command not only as a test of obedience, but as a faith builder for Abraham. The Most High knew that Abraham would comply and Abraham knew that the Most High would provide a lamb. This plan succeeded in both proving Abraham's obedience and increasing Abraham's faith in the Most High. Just a thought 😊

Thank you! As a gentile I marvel at how much context adds to scripture. It’s my opinion that most religions based on HIS ministry have done exactly what the Pharisees were doing 1000s of years ago. Shame on me for not reading the gospels sooner though.
Thank you. Good stuff. I like how Jesus wasn't afraid to touch what Jews considered unclean (blind eyes, deaf ears, mute tongue, ect.). Jews considered infirmities to be punishment for sins. Therefore the afflicted were treated as outcasts and shunned by their own people. Jesus not only healed them physically, but gave them life back more abundantly in the form of being welcomed by their people. I imagine that the afflicted would never have thought that they were worthy enough to have a rabi touch areas that no one had probably ever have thought to touch due to the clean laws. I am worthy, I am clean, I am restored, I am better than I could have imagined, I owe it to Jesus.
This is fascinating - thank you for sharing. I always found it a bit gross that Jesus used spit to heal the man's eyes, but I never realised it had deeper meaning.
Again, my mind has been blown away by this knowledge. It is beautiful to see that the Mishnah, Hashem’s law and His only begotten Son fit perfectly in this story of Salvation. Beautifully explained teacher!
That was my thinking the other day when I was listening to the Mark 8 being read. The man who was blind was blind from birth. He had been born ‘incomplete’ in preparation for this miracle that would prove Jesus IS God. Jesus was using the same ingredients as were used for Adam to ‘complete’ the blind man.
@@berenicebarnes7822 Blessings in Christus Jesus. Amen! If you read thru Psalms , notice who is the one walking on water , notice who chams the storm . Best wittness yet look thru out all the Bible who is the one that searches the haert and reins . Revelation 2 will tell you Jesus does, old testament the LORD GOD .
May Jesus Christ bless, guide and heal all of you, your families and even your enemies. In Jesus Name, Amen and take care. Please give Jesus Christ all the praise and thanks for HIS blessings, HIS healing and HIS guidance. Amen and take care.
Y'shua is HIS Name. Name above all names: Y is for his Father Yahweh and shua means salvation. That's the true name that carries YHVH's name and the gift Salvation. HONOR TO HIS TRUE NAME!
Yes we are made of the dust of this ground that we stand upon! Repent and seek the words of JESUS (YESHUA) from the GOSPELS, Learn them, Be them, Live them for they hold the key to your SALVATION! Much LOVE to all my BROTHERS and SISTERS! ❤❤❤
Everything Yeshua did was for a specific reason, which speaks to how God’s ways are higher than our and His thoughts are higher too. Love these hidden gems about our Savior and the word. What a benefit to have been born jewish and raised in the teachings of God. Thanks for this video!!
Exactly! Besides, the Romans renamed Judea-Samaria while it was the Jews homeland... making them, by default, The Original 'Palestinians' anyway. So call it correctly, Israel.
Thank you for presenting the deep cultural setting for Yeshua's actions, His poignant multifaceted response to the reigning religious hierarchy, and the marvelous example of divinely weaving history into a lesson for all who have ears to hear.
Thank you, brother. These beautiful truths have strengthened my faith. May Father continue to bless you and make you a blessing for the glory of His Name.
WOWSERS! Thanks very much...God bless you...keep the teaching going for me the gentile grafted in. May God abundantly bless you with greater and greater revelation and wisdom in the knowledge of Jeshua!
This was truly enlightening, thank you so much for sharing. I had understood it in a physical sense as in God shaped Adam and Eve from the earth, I thought perhaps this man had been born with no eyes, and that Jesus was literally forming new eyes from the clay and the spit. I definitely saw this as proof of his divinity, but it’s so interesting to see how many facets of truth there are just in this one biblical event. It shows me how there is a never-ending flow of spirit and truth coming from the Word of God - this is not a book you can ever know everything about, it will always teach us new things if we ask God to open the eyes to our heart and remove every veil over the scripture every time we read!
For many years of reading that passage and being bewildered by Jesus's actions, with your explanation I understand the significance of His actions. Wow thank you for taking the time to share these great insights.
I've heard a few pastors preach on Jesus healing the blind man using spit and clay, but they've never went that deep into explaining WHY spit and clay was used or the symbolic meaning thereof. Thank you! 🙏❤️
This video kept popping up in my feed for over 1 week. I am truly glad I finally watched it. What a beautiful interpretation of the actions of the Son of God.
I had always wondered about that, but found myself helpless: there's literally not even the idea of looking for a meaning of the split in the official theology. While we could guess somehow the third explanation (the saliva containing the "spirit" if the life), the first two are absolutely surprising and mindblowing: 1) split+dust= clay = work = ⛔ 2) miraculous split + dust = primogeniture Yes, to comprehend Jesus' acts we need to contextualize them in jewish society and culture of his time. What great enlightenments you gave us!! Thank you 🙏 Your distraction about Palestine/Israel cannot effect the relevance of what you shared with us
I believe the blind man was born with no eyes. I believe that Lord Jesus made him eyes out of mud from His spit and dirt. Remember, we are made from the dust. 😊
This explanation is so beautiful and so amazing! Thank you so much! I got chills listening. I also wanted to cry because I should have known this. I am going to read my Bible again and study it in depth more than I ever have before. You lit a fire in my spirit because of your video and I am very grateful to you for that. God bless you in Jesus mighty mighty name.
I understood from theology study, that it was an old jewish tradition that espoused a healing virtue from the spittle of the firstborn son... And when Jesus took the time to perform that particular miracle in that way, he was saying because this occurred early in his ministry, he what's evoking the authority of the first born...
A very good analogy , Each time Jesus healed blindness leprosy the lame he never seems to use the same method. I believe he was demonstrating the working of the holy spirit . The same spirit in working in the lives of believers would vary from person to person but would produce the same results , the spiritual healing of men via the gospel of Jesus.
Well done. Great explanation. Thank you. Side note, Jesus participated with the Father and Spirit in creation. "Through him, Jesus, all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made ..." Jn 1:3.
Thank you for explaining this. I’ve believed that this healing was always about completing a man who was born incomplete (ie blind) and so demonstrating your third point. But I never knew about your first two points. So this was a real eye opener. Thanks and God bless.
One caveat: the land was called Judea and Samaria in Israel. The name “palestine” wasn’t given to it until 135 AD after General Titus and the Roman Legions destroyed Jerusalem. They named the place “Syria Palestina” after the Jews greatest enemies, the Philistines. It was meant to be an insult. Jesus didn’t live in Palestine, he lived in Eretz Israel.
Fantastic nugget of contextual cultural information that gives a deeper dimension to Jesus's miracles that I have never heard before. Thank you for sharing that. 0:00
Yeshua lived in Palestine??? Please be careful with words, especially these days when many enemies are bent on hating and destroying Israel. Love in Messiah Yeshua.
The name "Palestine" has ancient origins and has been used for thousands of years. It is believed that the name was first used by the ancient Egyptians, who referred to the region as "Peleset" in texts dating back to around 1150 BCE. The Greeks later adapted this term to "Palaistinē" or "Philistia" in their writings. The term became more widespread under the Roman Empire. After suppressing a Jewish revolt in 135 CE, the Roman Emperor Hadrian renamed the region from Judea to "Syria Palaestina" as a punitive measure, aiming to minimize Jewish identification with the land. This name was derived from the Philistines, an ancient people who lived along the coast of the region. This is the origin of the modern name "Palestine." Nothing to do with the arabs who migrated there in later years after Muslim conquest, same Arabs that in 1964 decided to call them selves Palestinian people
Here's what to worry about. Genesis is monomyth. The entire Torah is. The truth needs to be exposed. God is an invention of evolving tribes to justify hating others while giving the desert dwellers a big brother to keep them in fear. And look how good it works.
He can heal him without even touching him. It is to show his faithfulness. It is to show us that he won't stop until the job is done. “And he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?” And he looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees, walking.” Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again; and he opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.” Mark 8:23-25 ESV
Excellent teaching! Mathew 1:23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “GOD with us.” John 1:3-4 3 All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.
I like the idea of the spit proving who our Lord is according to the first born story, thank you for that!! Also towards the end when you shared man was dust and spit, that fits what I'm going to share here IF we consider the saliva to be Gods Spiritfilled Word mixed with dust...thus man with Gods Spirit breathed into him!! As for how i came to understand it, to start with the blindness Jesus speaks of that is given to man to bring the Father glory is a spiritual blindness so that God may have mercy on all. We know this from these verses: What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they ARE ALL UNDER SIN. Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and ALL THE WORLD MAY BECOME GUILTY BEFORE GOD. Romans 3:9, 19 NKJV And Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, THAT THOSE WHO DO NOT SEE MAY SEE, and that THOSE WHO SEE MAY BE MADE BLIND.” Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, “Are we blind also?” Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains. John 9:39-41 NKJV What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and THE REST WERE BLINDED. Just as it is written: “God has given them a spirit of stupor, Eyes THAT THEY SHOULD NOT SEE And ears that they should not hear, To this very day.” LET THEIR EYES BE DARKENED, so THAT THEY DO NOT SEE, And bow down their back always.” For God has committed them all to disobedience, that HE MIGHT HAVE MERCY ON ALL. Romans 11:7-8, 10, 32 NKJV The method that He has chosen to use, that of mud is also symbolic of how He opens men's eyes!! He takes dirt (or dust) and mixes it with His spit (or water) to make the man see. The dust is man and the water is the Word of God...and together we get MUD, or man speaking the gospel!! In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you RETURN TO THE GROUND, For out of it you were taken; FOR DUST YOU ARE, And to dust you shall return.” Genesis 3:19 NKJV that He might sanctify and cleanse her WITH THE WASHING OF WATER BY THE WORD, Ephesians 5:26 NKJV On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If ANYONE THIRSTS, LET HIM COME TO ME AND DRINK. John 7:37 NKJV but whoever DRINKS OF THE WATER THAT I SHALL GIVE HIM will never thirst. BUT THE WATER THAT I SHALL GIVE HIM will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” John 4:14 NKJV But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You HAVE THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE. John 6:68 NKJV But the word of the Lord endures forever.” Now THIS IS THE WORD WHICH BY THE GOSPEL WAS PREACHED TO YOU. I Peter 1:25 NKJV And we are told this is how God always intended to co-work with man to give sight the lost by Christ Himself: But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to MAKE YOU A MINISTER and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you. I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, TO WHOM I NOW SEND YOU, TO OPEN THEIR EYES, IN ORDER TO TURN THEM FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT, and FROM THE POWER OF SATAN TO GOD, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.’ Acts 26:16-18 NKJV So we can see that yes, God did purposely blind ALL men so that His mercy could be on all and so that He can be glorified as He co-mmissioned man and Him to open their eyes via the preaching of thr Gospel!! And He said to them, “Go into all the world AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE. And THEY WENT OUT AND PREACHED EVERYWHERE, the LORD WORKING WITH THEM AND CONFIRMING THE WORD through the accompanying signs. AMEN. Mark 16:15, 20 NKJV
The spittle of the first born son held honor. Jesus was the first born of his father. Thus the relevance of the son of God with the power to heal. God bless Israel. ❤
Amazing info. I knew there was something in the traditions/oral law that explained this very difficult passage but I couldn't remember what it was. Thank you, you've got yourself a new subscriber. 👍🏼
Jesus promises to save ALL people. ISIAIH says we have ALL got lost like sheep Jesus says I will seek find and save ALL lost sheep and I will bring ALL people to myself and I will save ALL I bring
I never knew what to do with that story when people said embarassing things about it. Our pastors never touched it. Now I understand and marvel at the wisdom of Yeshua and Hashem! Thank you.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ scripture says " do we not ALL have one Father has not one God created us all". Humans don't burn their ungrateful wicked children Niether does God Jesus said " God is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. God SAVES everyone
The Sons of Abraham coming back into the Body of Christ are greatly enriching we Gentiles with the Hebraic basis of Scripture. There are things in the Bible that simply cannot be fully understood unless viewed from a Hebraic perspective.
The Bible relates in Genesis that Ishmael was taunting Isaac, that's why he was sent away, not because Abraham wanted to avoid a dispute about who was the first born son. Ishmael really was Abraham's first born son, just not through Sarah, his wife.
I agree, Christian. God gave that land to Israel and won it for them which automatically supercedes any claim of man/history had on it. He is Creator and King of the Universe.
This is by far the best interpretation of why Jesus used spit. Thank you so much!

Wonderful scholarship. It makes me wonder how much of the things in Jesus' life we don't understand, and we have made-up our own meanings.

Again, my mind has been blown away by this knowledge. It is beautiful to see that the Mishnah, Hashem’s law and His only begotten Son fit perfectly in this story of Salvation. Beautifully explained teacher!
I totally agree. I really enjoyed listening to this and now I understand. Thank you. God bless. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
To show us that He was the one that formed man from the dust of the earth.
Blessings in Christ Jesus. You are the only one with the right answer. All the miracles that He did was to demonstrate who He was , God .
@@danie4Jesus amen, bless you in Jesus name
That was my thinking the other day when I was listening to the Mark 8 being read. The man who was blind was blind from birth. He had been born ‘incomplete’ in preparation for this miracle that would prove Jesus IS God. Jesus was using the same ingredients as were used for Adam to ‘complete’ the blind man.
@@berenicebarnes7822 Blessings in Christus Jesus. Amen! If you read thru Psalms , notice who is the one walking on water , notice who chams the storm . Best wittness yet look thru out all the Bible who is the one that searches the haert and reins . Revelation 2 will tell you Jesus does, old testament the LORD GOD .
@@berenicebarnes7822 amen
Glory to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, one God, amin.
May Jesus Christ bless, guide and heal all of you, your families and even your enemies. In Jesus Name, Amen and take care.
Please give Jesus Christ all the praise and thanks for HIS blessings, HIS healing and HIS guidance. Amen and take care.
Y'shua is HIS Name. Name above all names: Y is for his Father Yahweh and shua means salvation. That's the true name that carries YHVH's name and the gift Salvation. HONOR TO HIS TRUE NAME!
All glory to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Yes we are made of the dust of this ground that we stand upon! Repent and seek the words of JESUS (YESHUA) from the GOSPELS, Learn them, Be them, Live them for they hold the key to your SALVATION! Much LOVE to all my BROTHERS and SISTERS!
❤❤❤
More people today should say Shalom to those they greet.
Everything Yeshua did was for a specific reason, which speaks to how God’s ways are higher than our and His thoughts are higher too. Love these hidden gems about our Savior and the word. What a benefit to have been born jewish and raised in the teachings of God. Thanks for this video!!
Why do you refer to Israel as Palestine? The God given name to the land is "Israel". Am Yisrael Chai.
I agree.
Exactly! Besides, the Romans renamed Judea-Samaria while it was the Jews homeland... making them, by default, The Original 'Palestinians' anyway. So call it correctly, Israel.
Literally had a hard time listening to anything after this until coming here to say the same thing.
Wow thanks that make a lot of sense. It fills in the blanks I always wondered about. Lord Bless you.
Thank you for presenting the deep cultural setting for Yeshua's actions, His poignant multifaceted response to the reigning religious hierarchy, and the marvelous example of divinely weaving history into a lesson for all who have ears to hear.
Thank you, brother. These beautiful truths have strengthened my faith. May Father continue to bless you and make you a blessing for the glory of His Name.
WOWSERS! Thanks very much...God bless you...keep the teaching going for me the gentile grafted in. May God abundantly bless you with greater and greater revelation and wisdom in the knowledge of Jeshua!
This was truly enlightening, thank you so much for sharing. I had understood it in a physical sense as in God shaped Adam and Eve from the earth, I thought perhaps this man had been born with no eyes, and that Jesus was literally forming new eyes from the clay and the spit. I definitely saw this as proof of his divinity, but it’s so interesting to see how many facets of truth there are just in this one biblical event. It shows me how there is a never-ending flow of spirit and truth coming from the Word of God - this is not a book you can ever know everything about, it will always teach us new things if we ask God to open the eyes to our heart and remove every veil over the scripture every time we read!
This makes so much sense. Jesus is so much more than we can grasp but what we can grasp is beyond wonderful.
I have wondered about this passage a long time. Thank you so much. 🙏🏻🔥
For many years of reading that passage and being bewildered by Jesus's actions, with your explanation I understand the significance of His actions.
Wow thank you for taking the time to share these great insights.
Beautiful message! Thank you. ✝️🕊️🌹
I've heard a few pastors preach on Jesus healing the blind man using spit and clay, but they've never went that deep into explaining WHY spit and clay was used or the symbolic meaning thereof.
Thank you! 🙏❤️
Amazing depth, wow! Glory to God!
This makes so much sense! Thank you. Context is key.
This video kept popping up in my feed for over 1 week. I am truly glad I finally watched it. What a beautiful interpretation of the actions of the Son of God.
I had always wondered about that, but found myself helpless: there's literally not even the idea of looking for a meaning of the split in the official theology.
While we could guess somehow the third explanation (the saliva containing the "spirit" if the life), the first two are absolutely surprising and mindblowing:
1) split+dust= clay = work = ⛔
2) miraculous split + dust = primogeniture
Yes, to comprehend Jesus' acts we need to contextualize them in jewish society and culture of his time.
What great enlightenments you gave us!!
Thank you 🙏
Your distraction about Palestine/Israel cannot effect the relevance of what you shared with us
I believe the blind man was born with no eyes. I believe that Lord Jesus made him eyes out of mud from His spit and dirt. Remember, we are made from the dust. 😊
Thanks for this piece of insight that puts this story in proper context and provides real clarity.
Thank You LORD...May "many" eyes be opened spiritually. To God be the Glory.!!! ❤ Jesus is still in the miracle business... Amen. 😊
Lord Yeshu Hamashiyah is our Healer :)
Thank you for this teaching.
Thank you for this wonderful explanation!
This explanation is so beautiful and so amazing! Thank you so much! I got chills listening. I also wanted to cry because I should have known this. I am going to read my Bible again and study it in depth more than I ever have before. You lit a fire in my spirit because of your video and I am very grateful to you for that. God bless you in Jesus mighty mighty name.
I understood from theology study, that it was an old jewish tradition that espoused a healing virtue from the spittle of the firstborn son...
And when Jesus took the time to perform that particular miracle in that way, he was saying because this occurred early in his ministry, he what's evoking the authority of the first born...
Beautiful! So important to know language and history and context when studying scripture
Thank you so much for sharing God's word.
thank you. all praise to Yeshua.
This healing finally makes complete sense now. Thanks.
A very good analogy , Each time Jesus healed blindness leprosy the lame he never seems to use the same method. I believe he was demonstrating the working of the holy spirit . The same spirit in working in the lives of believers would vary from person to person but would produce the same results , the spiritual healing of men via the gospel of Jesus.
Well done. Great explanation. Thank you.
Side note, Jesus participated with the Father and Spirit in creation. "Through him, Jesus, all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made ..." Jn 1:3.
Amen! Great teaching!
Thank you for explaining this. I’ve believed that this healing was always about completing a man who was born incomplete (ie blind) and so demonstrating your third point. But I never knew about your first two points. So this was a real eye opener. Thanks and God bless.
Nice, short, insightful (no pun intended), no long intro. Thanks!
One caveat: the land was called Judea and Samaria in Israel. The name “palestine” wasn’t given to it until 135 AD after General Titus and the Roman Legions destroyed Jerusalem. They named the place “Syria Palestina” after the Jews greatest enemies, the Philistines. It was meant to be an insult. Jesus didn’t live in Palestine, he lived in Eretz Israel.
Thanks
Thank you! This explanation is amazing.
Thank you for this teaching. By adding context & history, you've added an extra layer of depth & meaning.
Yeshua is so perfect! I believe that the healing with clay also alludes to the fact of the trinity. He is God and was there at the creation.
Fantastic nugget of contextual cultural information that gives a deeper dimension to Jesus's miracles that I have never heard before. Thank you for sharing that. 0:00
Well done, well taught.
Thanks for the great explanation. May God bless you.
I think he created new eyes out of the dust. Like he created Adam. A glimpse of the Trinity.
Don’t think too much
Thank for clarification of this scripture and Especially for using YESHUA's proper name.
I’ve never heard the blind man healing story like this! Thanks for giving context, I always wondering why he used spot and dirt.
Yeshua lived in Palestine??? Please be careful with words, especially these days when many enemies are bent on hating and destroying Israel. Love in Messiah Yeshua.
The truth is to be told for all to hear. No fear.
Take it up with Rome, they named it.
The name "Palestine" has ancient origins and has been used for thousands of years. It is believed that the name was first used by the ancient Egyptians, who referred to the region as "Peleset" in texts dating back to around 1150 BCE. The Greeks later adapted this term to "Palaistinē" or "Philistia" in their writings.
The term became more widespread under the Roman Empire. After suppressing a Jewish revolt in 135 CE, the Roman Emperor Hadrian renamed the region from Judea to "Syria Palaestina" as a punitive measure, aiming to minimize Jewish identification with the land. This name was derived from the Philistines, an ancient people who lived along the coast of the region. This is the origin of the modern name "Palestine."
Nothing to do with the arabs who migrated there in later years after Muslim conquest, same Arabs that in 1964 decided to call them selves Palestinian people
Here's what to worry about. Genesis is monomyth. The entire Torah is. The truth needs to be exposed. God is an invention of evolving tribes to justify hating others while giving the desert dwellers a big brother to keep them in fear. And look how good it works.
@ofiravny I'll add that those seafaring people who called themselves Philistines originated from the Greek Aegean islands.
Powerful well done thank you
What an incredible explanation for such an unusual and perplexing way Yahusha used to heal blindness. Thank you.
Sha'alu Shalom Yerushalayim / Pray for the peace of Jerusalem 🙏 Psalm 122:6
Thank you. I have wondered about this Scripture for many years.
He can heal him without even touching him. It is to show his faithfulness. It is to show us that he won't stop until the job is done.
“And he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?” And he looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees, walking.” Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again; and he opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.”
Mark 8:23-25 ESV
Excellent teaching!
Mathew 1:23
“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “GOD with us.”
John 1:3-4
3 All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made.
In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.
I like the idea of the spit proving who our Lord is according to the first born story, thank you for that!! Also towards the end when you shared man was dust and spit, that fits what I'm going to share here IF we consider the saliva to be Gods Spiritfilled Word mixed with dust...thus man with Gods Spirit breathed into him!!
As for how i came to understand it, to start with the blindness Jesus speaks of that is given to man to bring the Father glory is a spiritual blindness so that God may have mercy on all. We know this from these verses:
What then? Are we better than they? Not at all. For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they ARE ALL UNDER SIN. Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and ALL THE WORLD MAY BECOME GUILTY BEFORE GOD.
Romans 3:9, 19 NKJV
And Jesus said, “For judgment I have come into this world, THAT THOSE WHO DO NOT SEE MAY SEE, and that THOSE WHO SEE MAY BE MADE BLIND.” Then some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these words, and said to Him, “Are we blind also?” Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
John 9:39-41 NKJV
What then? Israel has not obtained what it seeks; but the elect have obtained it, and THE REST WERE BLINDED. Just as it is written: “God has given them a spirit of stupor, Eyes THAT THEY SHOULD NOT SEE And ears that they should not hear, To this very day.” LET THEIR EYES BE DARKENED, so THAT THEY DO NOT SEE, And bow down their back always.” For God has committed them all to disobedience, that HE MIGHT HAVE MERCY ON ALL.
Romans 11:7-8, 10, 32 NKJV
The method that He has chosen to use, that of mud is also symbolic of how He opens men's eyes!! He takes dirt (or dust) and mixes it with His spit (or water) to make the man see. The dust is man and the water is the Word of God...and together we get MUD, or man speaking the gospel!!
In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you RETURN TO THE GROUND, For out of it you were taken; FOR DUST YOU ARE, And to dust you shall return.”
Genesis 3:19 NKJV
that He might sanctify and cleanse her WITH THE WASHING OF WATER BY THE WORD,
Ephesians 5:26 NKJV
On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If ANYONE THIRSTS, LET HIM COME TO ME AND DRINK.
John 7:37 NKJV
but whoever DRINKS OF THE WATER THAT I SHALL GIVE HIM will never thirst. BUT THE WATER THAT I SHALL GIVE HIM will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”
John 4:14 NKJV
But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You HAVE THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE.
John 6:68 NKJV
But the word of the Lord endures forever.” Now THIS IS THE WORD WHICH BY THE GOSPEL WAS PREACHED TO YOU.
I Peter 1:25 NKJV
And we are told this is how God always intended to co-work with man to give sight the lost by Christ Himself:
But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to MAKE YOU A MINISTER and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you. I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, TO WHOM I NOW SEND YOU, TO OPEN THEIR EYES, IN ORDER TO TURN THEM FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT, and FROM THE POWER OF SATAN TO GOD, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.’
Acts 26:16-18 NKJV
So we can see that yes, God did purposely blind ALL men so that His mercy could be on all and so that He can be glorified as He co-mmissioned man and Him to open their eyes via the preaching of thr Gospel!!
And He said to them, “Go into all the world AND PREACH THE GOSPEL TO EVERY CREATURE. And THEY WENT OUT AND PREACHED EVERYWHERE, the LORD WORKING WITH THEM AND CONFIRMING THE WORD through the accompanying signs. AMEN.
Mark 16:15, 20 NKJV
The spittle of the first born son held honor. Jesus was the first born of his father. Thus the relevance of the son of God with the power to heal. God bless Israel. ❤
Amazing info. I knew there was something in the traditions/oral law that explained this very difficult passage but I couldn't remember what it was. Thank you, you've got yourself a new subscriber. 👍🏼
Jesus promises to save ALL people. ISIAIH says we have ALL got lost like sheep Jesus says I will seek find and save ALL lost sheep and I will bring ALL people to myself and I will save ALL I bring
This is truly beautiful! 💕 and the depth is on a whole new level. Thank you for sharing this. 💕
I never knew what to do with that story when people said embarassing things about it. Our pastors never touched it. Now I understand and marvel at the wisdom of Yeshua and Hashem! Thank you.
This is absolutely fascinating. Thank you and God Bless.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ scripture says " do we not ALL have one Father has not one God created us all". Humans don't burn their ungrateful wicked children Niether does God Jesus said " God is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. God SAVES everyone
…wholesome interpretation - thanks..
The Sons of Abraham coming back into the Body of Christ are greatly enriching we Gentiles with the Hebraic basis of Scripture. There are things in the Bible that simply cannot be fully understood unless viewed from a Hebraic perspective.
To God be the glory. Amen
Wow!!! Thank you!!!
He showed that He was God in the flesh, but they where to blind to see it.
Wonderful and enlightening explanation... makes perfect sense.
The Bible relates in Genesis that Ishmael was taunting Isaac, that's why he was sent away, not because Abraham wanted to avoid a dispute about who was the first born son. Ishmael really was Abraham's first born son, just not through Sarah, his wife.
All glory to Jesus amen
This is amazing insight, absolutely wonderful. Thanks for this.
All Glory to The Lord of Lords Jesus 🙏
I've always wondered about that! That video is wonderful! Thank you!
I agree, Christian. God gave that land to Israel and won it for them which automatically supercedes any claim of man/history had on it. He is Creator and King of the Universe.
The name "Palaestina" only appeared in AD 135, it had been unheard of in the time of Yeshua.
