Calling on Christians around the world to join us in praying scripture Isaiah 61:1-2, "Lord, set the captives free," and to share the hashtags #SetTheCaptivesFree #Isaiah61 on your social media.
In contrast to the popular campaign #BringThemHomeNow which is an appeal to the Israeli government, #SetTheCaptivesFree is an appeal to God in heaven.
Isaiah 61:1-2 was recited by Jesus in the temple in Nazareth in Luke 4:18-19.
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives לקרוא לשבוים דרור and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
