If one reads Isaiah 61 one can begin to understand just what ‘The Good News’ is.   Isaiah tells us the it is the moment that the Spirit of Yahovah falls upon us, and it gives us a clue to what this healing and beneficial message does to us.

But to participate in this healing and beneficial message we need to understand why we are excluded from it in the first place.    The answers to this lie in the first 3 chapters of Genesis, especially as interpreted in John 1.

John starts his gospel in a way that quotes Genesis 1; “in the beginning”.   In the Hebrew version of John 1 we find that ‘logos’ in the Greek is a translation of the Hebrew ‘debar’ essentially the Way, and that Torah is a signpost of that Way.

To participate in Yah’s Way we must first be humble.

Jeremiah tells us that the human heart is wicked, like Pharoah our hearts are harden and thus Torah cannot be written upon our hearts.

We must therefore lit up our hearts that they can be softened such that Yah’s healing and beneficial message can be written upon them.

How do we do this?

By first being humble and accepting Yah’s Knowledge of Good and Evil instead of our own.

Take for example the Christian ‘Sunday’, the 10 commandments tell us that we keep the seventh day ‘holy’ (Saturday) but the Roman ‘church’ changed that.

Being humble means returning to Yah, and accepting His ‘Word’ over and above those interpretations of men; the priests, pastors rabbis and vicars that ‘religion’ sets over us.

The 10 commandments tell us that if we keep the seventh day then we will be freed from slavery, and this connects directly to Isaiah 61 and thus to Yahushua when He quotes this passage.

But Isaiah 61 is not exclusive to ‘messiahs’ it is available to all of us IF we are humble and allow Yah to write His spiritual Torah on our hearts.

In the beginning Yah created all things and we have a choice, become Creation compliant and participate in Yah’s Way, or follow Adam’s way.    Adams way leads nowhere except death, Yah’s way leads back to the gates of Eden, to life eternal.
