What did Jesus mean when he said-
"God has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners.." (Luke 4:18)
Freedom from what exactly?


Are we prisoners?
OP ^

Everyone is a prisoner.
Prisoner OF WHAT is the mystery.

Every natural born person Begins as a “prisoner” OF the World...
Of the world simply means, “reacting”.
A baby begins with very limited knowledge.
A baby “reacts”, to a hungry tummy, a soiled diaper, a spitting out food it doesn’t like, bright light, a loud noise, a wind blowing on him, a gentle touch, a laugh, etc.

A baby begins Learning things of the world, by hearing, seeing, touching, tasting, smelling.....
A maturing child continues the same.
A maturing child GOD teaches for the parent to introduce the child to what, he can not hear, see, touch, taste, smell...

Every human Begins as a prisoner OF the world.
Every human that comes OUT OF the world, and IN TO Christ, becomes a Prisoner OF Christ.

A Prisoner is that which a man IS ... OF and IN.
A man OF the world, is a prisoner IN And OF the world.
A man OF God, is a prisoner IN And OF Christ.
A man OF the world, Can not be, is not, a Prisoner of Christ
A man OF God, Can not be, is not, a Prisoner OF the World

Currently, nearly ALL Jews are in and of the world.
Currently, the majority of Gentiles are in and of the world.
Currently, A VERY, VERY few Jews are in and of Christ.
Currently, A FEW Gentiles are in and of Christ.

DURING the LAST days of Tribulation and Wrath sent down from Heaven...All inhabitants upon the earth, SHALL BE called to COME OUT of the WORLD...
Calling...Jews first, Rest of Tribes secondly, Gentiles lastly.
All have FREEWILL to Respond and COME OUT of the World, or reject the Calling and remain to suffer the negative consequences of their free will choosing.

Those who have ALREADY come out of the world, Before the Last days of Tribulation Begins...SHALL BE lifted up off the face of the Earth...WHILE those Upon the face of the Earth...Decide to Accept or Reject Gods Calling.

Glory to God,
