Man Blind from birth healed. Yeshua makes history

The Significance of Yeshua Spitting in the Mud to Heal the Blind Man (John 9:1-7)

In John 9, Yeshua heals a man blind from birth by making mud with His saliva, rubbing it on the man’s eyes, and telling him to wash in the Pool of Siloam. This unusual method carries deep symbolic meaning:

1. Creation and Restoration
• Yeshua used the dust of the earth, just as Yehovah formed man from the dust (Genesis 2:7).
• This miracle echoes divine creation power, showing that Yeshua was not just healing but re-creating the man’s sight.

2. A Test of Faith and Obedience
• The man had to walk to the Pool of Siloam and wash before receiving his sight.
• This act required faith, teaching that obedience to Yeshua’s words brings healing and transformation.

3. Spiritual Blindness vs. Physical Blindness
• The Pharisees, though physically seeing, were spiritually blind and rejected Yeshua.
• The blind man, though physically blind, recognized Yeshua as the Messiah (John 9:38).

4. Spit as a Symbol of Divine Power
• In ancient Jewish culture, saliva was believed to have healing properties (Mark 7:33, Mark 8:23).
• By mixing saliva with dust, Yeshua demonstrated that healing came not from human traditions but from the divine power of Yehovah working through Him.

5. Mud as a Representation of Sin and Cleansing
• The mud on the man’s eyes represents the sin and blindness of the world.
• Washing in the Pool of Siloam (meaning “Sent”) points to Yeshua as the One sent by Yehovah to cleanse and restore humanity.

Key Takeaway:

Yeshua didn’t just heal physical blindness—He revealed Himself as the Light of the World (John 9:5), showing that only through Him can we see the truth and be spiritually healed.
