Tracy's comment on 2015-07-06 18:02:47:

I want to know what the significance is of the first verse having "is " in italics. The spirit of the Lord "is " upon me... In the original Hebrew text, the word is "was ". The spirit of the Lord "was " upon me... But I cannot find any commentary that explains this seemingly benign change or reference to a change. And to the commenter who wrote about being a prisoner or a captive, I find that an interesting thought. But I do not like when the phrase under the law is used to speak of God 's law. It 's the law of sin and death that is opposite of grace. To say the law is opposed to grace is to say God is opposed to himself and that he makes bad policy that needs to be corrected. It is we that need to correct our miseducation. Thank you for your help.

Here is some thinking outloud, it seems interesting. A captive is someont that is capture no fault of theirs. and a prisoner is something they have done to be in prison. Part of the verse say proclaim (maybe teach them) and the captives go free and the other part of the verse seems more involved -Open the door for them for them to go free. Matt 5:25 seems to say to me that if you are a prisoner, satan has put you there from being under Law instead of Grace. I don't know here but captive seems to be like something someone did to you like maybe unfaithful husband ruined your marragie and now you seem captive to hurt or unforgiveness. So maybe when we pray for people we should ask God if they are a prisoner or captive? prisoner or captive , satan did it and needs to be dealt with through God's power that is released through us. But just wanted to give the person some truth and keep them free.

This p***ages speaks of the anointing and mandate that is upon every person whom has given their life to CHRIST JESUES ,it doesn't only speak to the physical impairment that persons may have but more so SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS AND SO FORTH DUE TO THE SEPARATION THAT EXSISTED BETWEEN ALL OF MANKIND AND ALMIGHTY GOD.
