To preach the acceptable YEAR of the Lord... Luke 4:19..

Luk 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, 19 to proclaim the YEAR of the Lord's favor." 20 And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21 And he began to say to them, "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."
The Passage that Jesus read was from the book of Isaiah from chapter 61 verses 1 and two. " The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the YEAR of the LORD's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;.."
Question: If Jesus was the Lamb of God who would take away the sins of the world, He would have to fulfill all the Scriptures about being the lamb, correct?
With that being said: If we are to take Luke's chronological account (Luke 1:3) of Jesus' ministry on earth; where do we get the idea of Him being anointed and baptized to His crucifixion being a total of THREE YEARS when The Scriptures only say that the ACCEPTABLE time was ONE YEAR?
Does that make sense? Seriously. If the Scriptures say that the Lamb who was to be slain was also to be of ONE YEAR (Exodus 12:5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a YEAR old...), then where did, or do we get the idea of Jesus' earthly ministry was THREE YEARS from?
Did Jesus, the lamb of God, sacrifice a lamb at the temple those 2 of the 3 years since he followed the Law on the passover, or was it only one year since he did this?
How can we reconcile the fact that the synoptic gospels show it to be one year ministry and we come up with three years in Christendom?
Wouldn't it even further explain the fact that Jesus' one year ministry would be one major reason WHY Philo, the Jewish historian at the time of jesus' existing, didn't hear of him and write of him in his time in during the feasts that he attended there?
Can we find proof for this, or is it also a man made assumption that was accepted through out time? Can we find proof of this anywhere?

Jude , you can readLuke chapter3, and John chapter2, and this will give you more information about Jesus' earthly ministry as it pretains to the three passovers mentioned in John.
Also, Old Testament prophesies tells us information about Jesus' coming in Isaiah and in Daniel chapters 9-12, so when you put it all together based on the prophesies and about the time of Jesus' birth, and his earlthy ministry becasue we are told that he was ABOUT 30 years old when he was baptized, and his death, you will come to know that Jesus was only on earth for about three or four years.
The time line is according to when John the Bpaitst's ministry started and when he was behead by Herod, Heord's death, the three passovers John tells us about in chapter 2 and in other places in his writings, and other particulars that took place during this time.
This would indicate that Jesus was on earth for only these three or four years.
ME: John is not considered part of the synoptic gospels for a reason, sister. To base the idea that Jesus' ministry was three years from that would go against what the other three gospels show.

Agapheton said: Gill's Commentary Isaiah 61:2 - To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,.... Not an exact year, but time in general; for such are wrong, who from hence conclude that Christ's PUBLIC MINISTRY LASTED BUT A YEAR, SINCE IT IS CERTAIN," (WATCH THE CONTRADICTION NOW... ) "by the passovers he kept, that it must be at least three or four years;" NOW Gill says its AT LEAST THREE TO FOUR?
Ella says: What part do you NOT understand in what Gill is saying? He is saying that the ACCEPTABLE YEAR IS NOT AN EXACT YEAR meaning any particular given year as in ONE YEAR, but it is TIME IN GENERAL and given YEAR OR NUMBER OF YEARS. He contues by saying, FOR THOSE WHO SAY THAT IT IS AN EXAcT YEAr, meaning a set year or one year... THEY ARE ARE WRONG TO CONCLUDE THAT JESUS' MINISTRY LASTED FOR ONLY ONE YEAR, BECAUSE THIS IS CERTAIN BY THE THREE TIMES OF THE PASSOVER THAT ARE MADE MENTIONED OF IN SCRIPTURES TO BE EXACT, THAT JESUS WAS ON EARTH FOR THREE YEARS!...
What PART DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?... no, don't answer, I can see this IS why you have no clue as to what you understand when you read God's word OR that you knwo what you're talking about... what Gills is saying does not contradict anything except what YOU ARE SAYING THAT is not in scritpures, that JESUS WAS ON EARTH FOR ONLY ONE YEAR!

So you are saying that the Jesus could have stayed in His ministry for more than one year with several Passovers where He sacrificed the Lamb of God within those years EXCEPT the year He BECAME THE LAMB OF GOD THAT WAS SACRIFICED FOR THE WORLD?

Gill's commentary: Isa 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord,.... Not an exact year, but time in general; for such are wrong, who from hence conclude that Christ's public ministry lasted but a year, since it is certain, by the passovers he kept, that it must be at least three or four years;
So WHERE DOES HE GET THE OTHER PASSOVERS FROM, ET? WHERE IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN CAN WE MAKE A DISCERNMENT THAT JESUS SPENT 3-$ YEARS IN HIS MINISTRY IF THE GOSPEL IS NOT A CHRONOLOGICAL ACCOUNT?

THANK YOU GEORGE, this is EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANS... Agapheton had his own bible and dictionary that he has written and is reading from:yay:...
The acceptable year of the Lord is any year that a person reconciles him/herself to the Lord... as even pointed out by Peter, a day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years is like a day in the eyes of the Lord
Hebrews 3:15, As has just been said: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion."
In other words, TODAY THS YEAR IS THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR for many people to come to Christ. Some will misse this day and the year, as soem missed the tiday or last year to give their herats to the Lord.
Every year and every day is the acceptable year pf the Lord, desiring that no one should perish!

ET,WHICH YEAR DID JESUS DO THIS OUT OF THE 3-4 YEARS?
Joh 2:13 The Passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Joh 2:14 In the temple he found those who were selling oxen and sheep and pigeons, and the money-changers sitting there.
Joh 2:15 And making a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, with the sheep and oxen. And he poured out the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables.
Joh 2:16 And he told those who sold the pigeons, "Take these things away; do not make my Father's house a house of trade."
Joh 2:17 His disciples remembered that it was written, "Zeal for your house will consume me."
Joh 2:18 So the Jews said to him, "What sign do you show us for doing these things?"
Joh 2:19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."
Joh 2:20 The Jews then said, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?"
Joh 2:21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body.
Joh 2:22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.
Why do the SYNOPTIC GOSPELS ONLY MENTION JESUS DOING THIS DURING THE PASSOVER ONCE?
Could it possibly be that all the other times that the Passover incidents mentioned in John are WITHIN THE SAME TIME OF THAT ONE YEAR MINISTRY?

So when was this fulfilled exactly according to Jesus own words, ET? Year one or year 2-4 or his ministry?
AND WHICH YEAR OF HIS MINISTRY DID HE SAY IT IN?
Luk 4:19 to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."
Luk 4:20 And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him.
Luk 4:21 And he began to say to them, "TODAY THIS SCRIPTURE IS FULFILLED IN YOUR HEARING."
