Deliverance-Hebraic Understanding Freedom from distress and the ability to

pursue one’s own objectives. To move from distress to safety requires deliverance.

Generally the deliverance must come from somewhere outside the party oppressed.

In the Tenach the kinds of distress both national and individual include enemies, natural catastrophies, such as plaque, famine and sickness

The one who brings deliverance is known as the “Savior”.

Generally in the Tenach, the word has strong religious meaning for it is Yahweh who wrought the deliverance

Psalm 68:19 Although salvation “deliverance” could

come through a human agent, it was only because G-d empowered the agent.

In the Brit HaDasha the idea of salvation primarily means forgiveness of sin, deliverance from its power and defeat of Ha Satan. Although the Tenach begins to point in this direction, the majority of references to salvation speak of Yahweh granting deliverance from real enemies and out of real catastrophies.

Psalm 91:16

At various times (and still today) Israel was being oppressed by other nations had to go to war to win and maintain it freedom. In these battles the nation turned to G-d for help. The believed that the outcome of the battle belonged to Yahweh.

1 Samuel 17:45-47 Psalm 106:8 Exodus 14:30-31 1 Samuel 4:6-8 Deut. 33:29 Deut. 20:1-4 They became people known as “A People

Saved By YAHWEH”

When oppressed by nations, G-d delivered them through a Judge Judges 2:16

The general pattern was to endow the Judge with His Spirit in order that he could defeat Israel’s enemies. I.E. Samson, Deborah Etc.

God also used Kings (i.e. Saul, David) 1 Samuel 9:16-10:1 Psalm 20: 6-9 1 Samuel 14:6The Yesha/Salvation From God was the

Kings glory and firmly established His authority over peoplePsalm 21:5

Here is the creative tension which establishes G-d’s purpose on earth and yet builds the character of His people. 11 Chron. 20:17-22 Hosea 1:7-11/Romans 9:26Building in this historical pattern, G-d’s

saving deeds through a charismatic leader arise the concept of a future savior (Yeshua) who would fulfill the role of a King annointed with G-d’s Spirit.

Jeremiah 23:5-8

Salvation may not only be offensive, but also defensive Psalm 62:7-8 One who experiences salvation

(deliverance, help, healing etc) does not need to be tormented by internal anxiety. It is true that he will have to endure opposition, but G-d will ensure that His opponents do not destroy him.

The Protective Nature of Yesha/Salvation is seen in other concepts. The Shield of Salvation-Psalm 18:35 A Helmet of Salvation-Isaiah 59:17, Eph 6:17 The Garments of Salvation-Isaiah 61:10 Thus Salvation is not merely momentary

victory on the battlefield, it is also the safety and security necessary to maintain life unafraid of numerous dangers▪ Isaiah 60:18▪ Isaiah 26:1-4

Spiritual Meaning of Yesha Ezekial 37:23-28 Psalm 51:14 Psalm 79:9

Jeremiah 17:14 “Save” parallels ‘Heal” i.e. Salvation becomes a dynamic force bringing emotional and physical well being
