“And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.”
and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death — the enslaved condition of humanity under death's fear is the devil's primary tool; Christ's victory over death liberates the enslaved. The slavery imagery emphasizes the totality of death's dominion before Christ's breaking of its power.
