Quote Of The Day:

 

F.F. Bosworth ‘Christ The Healer

 

“The two outstanding possessions to be restored during the Gospel era are health for soul & body – forgiveness and healing.  Christ preached “The acceptable Year of The Lord” in order that the “Inner” and “Outer” man might be whole and ready for the service of God so they can finish their course. “

 

“ Paul tells us that “In Him” all the promises of God are yea and amen, which is another way of saying that all the promises of God, including His promise to heal, owe their existence and power exclusively to the redeeming work of Christ.”

 

Deborah’s Drash Commentary:

 

Yeshua Bore Our Sickness and Sins

 

Healing is in the atonement

 

Isaiah 53:4 “Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains (of punishment), yet we (ignorantly) considered Him stricken, smitten and afflicted by God (as if with leprosy).”

 

Vs. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement (needful to obtain) peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes (that wounded) Him we are healed and made whole”

The Amplified Bible

 

The word “Borne” means to lift up, to bear away, to convey or to remove to a distance.

 

It is a Levitical word and applies to the scapegoat that bare away the sins of the people.

 

Leviticus 16:15-22

 

15 Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:

16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.

17 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.

18 And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about.

19 And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.

20 And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:

21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:

22 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.

  Lev 16:15-22 (KJV)

 

Messiahs Blood was sprinkled on the mercy seat when he assended into Heaven.  That Blood is forever upon the Mercy Seat as an atonement for our sins and sicknesses.  

 

According to Dakes Study Bible notes

 

“The 2 goats completed the one type of  Messiah/Christ in His work of death and resurrection.  One alone could not do this because being killed would make it impossible for an animal to represent the resurrection as when it was taken into the wildnerness.  If Messiah/Christ had died and remained dead His atoning would have been in vain.  It was the resurrection that made it effective.

 

Romans 4:25

 

25 Yeshua, who was delivered over to death because of our offences and raised to life in order to make us righteous.[2]

 

1 Cor. 15:1-23

15  1 Now, brothers, I must remind you of the Good News which I proclaimed to you, and which you received, and on which you have taken your stand, 2 and by which you are being saved—provided you keep holding fast to the message I proclaimed to you. For if you don’t, your trust will have been in vain. 3 For among the first things I passed on to you was what I also received, namely this: the Messiah died for our sins, in accordance with what the Tanakh says; 4 and he was buried; and he was raised on the third day, in accordance with what the Tanakh says; 5 and he was seen by Kefa, then by the Twelve; 6 and afterwards he was seen by more than five hundred brothers at one time, the majority of whom are still alive, though some have died. 7 Later he was seen by Ya‘akov, then by all the emissaries; 8 and last of all he was seen by me, even though I was born at the wrong time. 9 For I am the least of all the emissaries, unfit to be called an emissary, because I persecuted the Messianic Community of God. 10 But by God’s grace I am what I am, and his grace towards me was not in vain; on the contrary, I have worked harder than all of them, although it was not I but the grace of God with me. 11 Anyhow, whether I or they, this is what we proclaim, and this is what you believed.

 12 But if it has been proclaimed that the Messiah has been raised from the dead, how is it that some of you are saying there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead? 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then the Messiah has not been raised; 14 and if the Messiah has not been raised, then what we have proclaimed is in vain; also your trust is in vain; 15 furthermore, we are shown up as false witnesses for God in having testified that God raised up the Messiah, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then the Messiah has not been raised either; 17 and if the Messiah has not been raised, your trust is useless, and you are still in your sins. 18 Also, if this is the case, those who died in union with the Messiah are lost. 19 If it is only for this life that we have put our hope in the Messiah, we are more pitiable than anyone.[3]

20 But the fact is that the Messiah has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have died. 21 For since death came through a man, also the resurrection of the dead has come through a man. 22 For just as in connection with Adam all die, so in connection with the Messiah all will be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: the Messiah is the firstfruits; then those who belong to the Messiah, at the time of his coming; [4]

 

Col. 3:1

 

1 So if you were raised along with the Messiah, then seek the things above, where the Messiah is sitting at the right hand of God.[5]

 

Heb 4:14-16

 

14 Therefore, since we have a great cohen gadol who has passed through to the highest heaven, Yeshua, the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we acknowledge as true. 15 For we do not have a cohen gadol unable to empathize with our weaknesses; since in every respect he was tempted just as we are, the only difference being that he did not sin. 16 Therefore, let us confidently approach the throne from which God gives grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace in our time of need.[6]

 

Hebrews 6:20

 

0 where a forerunner has entered on our behalf, namely, Yeshua, who has become a cohen gadol forever, to be compared with Malki-Tzedek.[7]

 

Hebrews 7:11-25

 

11 But when the Messiah appeared as cohen gadol of the good things that are happening already, then, through the greater and more perfect Tent which is not man-made (that is, it is not of this created world), 12 he entered the Holiest Place once and for all.

And he entered not by means of the blood of goats and calves, but by means of his own blood, thus setting people free forever. 13 For if sprinkling ceremonially unclean persons with the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer restores their outward purity; 14 then how much more the blood of the Messiah, who, through the eternal Spirit, offered himself to God as a sacrifice without blemish, will purify our conscience from works that lead to death, so that we can serve the living God!

 15 It is because of this death that he is mediator of a new covenant [or will].Because a death has occurred which sets people free from the transgressions committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promised eternal inheritance. 16 For where there is a will, there must necessarily be produced evidence of its maker’s death, 17 since a will goes into effect only upon death; it never has force while its maker is still alive.

 18 This is why the first covenant too was inaugurated with blood. 19 After Moshe had proclaimed every command of the Torah to all the people, he took the blood of the calves with some water and used scarlet wool and hyssop to sprinkle both the scroll itself and all the people; 20 and he said, “This is the blood of the covenant which God has ordained for you.” 21 Likewise, he sprinkled with the blood both the Tent and all the things used in its ceremonies. 22 In fact, according to the Torah, almost everything is purified with blood; indeed, without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.

 23 Now this is how the copies of the heavenly things had to be purified, but the heavenly things themselves require better sacrifices than these. 24 For the Messiah has entered a Holiest Place which is not man-made and merely a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, in order to appear now on our behalf in the very presence of God.

 25 Further, he did not enter heaven to offer himself over and over again, like the cohen hagadol who enters the Holiest Place year after year with blood that is not his own; 26 for then he would have had to suffer death many times—from the founding of the universe on. But as it is, he has appeared once at the end of the ages in order to do away with sin through the sacrifice of himself. 27 Just as human beings have to die once, but after this comes judgment, 28 so also the Messiah, having been offered once to bear the sins of many,will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to deliver those who are eagerly waiting for him.[8]

 

 

Hebrews 9:24-28

 

24 For the Messiah has entered a Holiest Place which is not man-made and merely a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, in order to appear now on our behalf in the very presence of God.

 25 Further, he did not enter heaven to offer himself over and over again, like the cohen hagadol who enters the Holiest Place year after year with blood that is not his own; 26 for then he would have had to suffer death many times—from the founding of the universe on. But as it is, he has appeared once at the end of the ages in order to do away with sin through the sacrifice of himself. 27 Just as human beings have to die once, but after this comes judgment, 28 so also the Messiah, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to deliver those who are eagerly waiting for him.[9]

 

1 Peter 1:3

 

3 Praised be God, Father of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, who, in keeping with his great mercy, has caused us, through the resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah from the dead, to be born again to a living hope,[10]

 

1 Peter 3:21-22

 

21 This also prefigures what delivers us now, the water of immersion, which is not the removal of dirt from the body, but one’s pledge to keep a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Yeshua the Messiah. 22 He has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God,with angels, authorities and powers subject to him.[11]

 

Yeshua was the “Scapegoat” for our sins and for our sicknesses and now Yeshua is our High Priest/ cohen gadol

 

22 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.

  Lev 16:22 (KJV)

 

“Shall bear upon”

 

Matthew 8:16-17

 

16 When evening came, many people held in the power of demons were brought to him. He expelled the spirits with a word and healed all who were ill. 17 This was done to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet Yeshayahu,

“He himself took our weaknesses

and bore our diseases”[12]

 

1 Peter 2:24

 

24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the stake,so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness—by his wounds you were healed.“For you used to be like sheep gone astray, but now you have turned tothe Shepherd, who watches over you.[13]

 

Yeshua “bore” my sins and sickness away “without the camp” on the execution stake/cross.   Sin and sickness have passed from me to the “scapegoat” a type of Messiah.   Yeshua took away our sins and sickness’s.   If somebody takes something away from you then it is no longer yours!   So stop trying to take back the sin and sickness that Yeshua already redeemed you from.

 

“Borne” (NASA) and “Carried” (SABAL) are both the same and are used in Vs. 11 & 12 for the substitionary bearing of sin, “He shall bear (carry) their iniquities”

 

11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

  Isaiah 53:11-12 (KJV)

 

Both words signify to assume a heavy burden and denote actual substitution and a complete removal of the things borne.

 

Yeshua “Bore” away/removed our sickness and pains “Substitution-one bearing  anothers load.

 

Dr. Isaac Leeser – Hebrew-English Bible on Isaiah 53

 

Vs.3 “He was dispised and shunned by men, a man of pains and acquainted with disease.

Vs.4 “But only our diseases did he bear himself and our pains he carried.

Vs. 5 “And through his bruises was healing granted to us.

Vs.10”But the Lord was pleased to crush him through disease

 

In the KJV according to F.F. Bosworth in his book “Christ the Healer” the words griefs and sorrows are incorrectly translated.

 

4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

  Isaiah 53:4 (KJV)

 

Vs. 4 –Hebrew –Choli and Makab have been incorrectly translated as “griefs” and “Sorrows”[i]

 

The correct translation should be:

 

Choli – disease/sickness

Makab-pains

 

Isaiah 53:4 “Surely He has borne our griefs/CHOLI (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows/MAKAB and pains (of punishment), yet we (ignorantly) considered Him stricken, smitten and afflicted by God (as if with leprosy).”

 

Vs. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement (needful to obtain) peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes (that wounded) Him we are healed and made whole”

The Amplified Bible

 

 

In Isaiah 53:4-5 we see Yeshua Ha Mashiach dying for:

 

Our sicknesses

Our Pains

Our Transgressions

Our Iniquities

Our Peace

Our Healing for “By His Stripes we are healed”

 

To say that healing is not for today, is the same thing as saying salvation is not for today!  Yeshua is the same Yesterday , Today and Forever.  Healing has always been a part of the blood atonement , healing and deliverance is in the Blood atonement of Yeshua/Jesus, the same way forgiveness of sin is in the blood atonement of Yeshua/Jesus.

 

If Salvation is for anyone who would call upon the name of Yeshua, so is healing!
