The sacrificial system had more power than as simply a prophecy. It tells us so in Matthews when the curtain was split when Christ was crucified. The saints had been preserved in sleep, and now were so alive they walked the streets of Jerusalem. Scripture tells us that can only happen through blood shed on the altar by the Lord.
I find that so many think that God made a deal with the Jews that they were to work for salvation. That is not so, it is an eternal truth that we are only saved by blood. God is love, God is kind, God would not have humans all die for thousands of years before Christ lived as a man. Our Lord set his salvation plan in motion the very first thing, and it seems so important to me to say so.
Scripture tells us that God hated it when blood was shed for any reason except as blood shed on the altar for the forgiveness of sin. The heathens sacrificed blood to their idols and if the Hebrews copied that the Lord said he hated it. It is in the first chapter of Isaiah. It was not the blood of animals the sacrificial system was all about, it was the prophecy of the blood of Christ.
“Scripture tells us that can only happen through blood shed on the altar by the Lord. “
no sister scriptire tells us this about the Animal bloodshed of the law.
I tried to shorten this but do me a favor and consider what the New Testament revelation of the epistles says about the law they understood the law much much better than either one of us so consider what’s being said here
“For
the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers
once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.”
Hebrews 10:1-4 KJV
he’s saying those sacrifices reminded them continually of Thier sins that’s why they all died, even Moses the mediator. Mankind has two parts a body and a living spirit even if thoer spirit is the corrupted spirit of man. Thier spirit doesn’t die even if they have died on thoer sins it rests until the fonal
Jidgement
thier was no remission of sins but there was a continual working by sacrofocing daily weekly , yearly fresh blood of animals that doesn’t say “ you now have no sin , or this blood is covering your sins temporarily “ ot says “ your all unworthy sinners do you have to constantly supply the death of an animal to substitute for your life which I require because you sinned “
but if the sacrifoce is done once and we’re told by the word that sacrofice was sufficient to remit our sins and there is never another required then we can understand our sins have been dealt with and we don’t have to offer innocent life in death constantly.
you still have t accepted stephens speech about the ordination of the angels over the law huh ? It’s not the real thing it’s like a blueprint for the real thing found in the gospel. Those things had value but they don’t now they are nullified and void of any value in Christ it’s why we don’t sacrifice animals anymore
if animals blood was sufficient to deal
With sin sister then Christ suffered and died for no good reason. It was a rough draft meant not to forgive thier sins but to impute them and remind them every year on atonement day that they were sinners still. Because the laws purpose another thing it doesn’t seem
You have accepted is not the same as the gospel it’s contrary
“Now we know that
what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
Therefore
by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”
Romans 3:19-20 KJV
that’s why the laws sacrifices reminded them of sin that’s what it was meant for to make them know thier sin and guilt . God preserved them in rest because Christ was coming in the future ot had nothing to do with animal blood
when your reading the law look for what it can teach you about Jesus that’s how it’s useful now, because it’s a fore pattern but the gospel is for the contrary point not to “make us guilty before God by revealing our sins and guilt to us “
but by doing the exact opposite saying forst “ you have all already sinned “ but if you come to me and believe the gospel I will remit all your sins and make you clean and worthy and give you everlasting life “
The law doesn’t say that it says this which again you seem to not be accepting
“And it shall come to pass,
if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day,
that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.
….But it shall come to pass,
if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:”
Deuteronomy 28:1-2, 15 KJV
you would to read that whole chapter to understand the condition of the law was based solely on thier works bekng perfect doing every single command I’ve shown this next verse to you before but if you read that chapter above you will understand why Paul said this
“For
as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.”
Galatians 3:10 KJV
Paul’s quoting a direct reference in the law. It literally says that phrase more than once it promised curse for everyone who fell short of doing it all that’s actually why the nation of Jews has suffered so greatly for thousands of years they didn’t continue in the law and everything it commanded
they said they would but didn’t the law explicitly makes that condition and it means just that of you mess up one time your now guilty of all it says and will be cursed but again that chapter is very long you would have to read the whole chapter on exodus also in other places ot repeats that condition
if you do everything Moses wrote down in his book of the law you’ll be blessed and have good crops and live
a long life and then die that’s the best it offers but if you don’t do it all and turn away at any point you will be cursed horribly and become a byword and warning to all nations
you should read some of the conditions of the law of Moses it’s the stuff of certain death and horrible nightmares
the law of course is good but the conditions places upon the people under it is horrible because it was ordained by this guy
“Behold, I send
an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.”
Exodus 23:20-21
it’s why the law appears as it does like this
“And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness,
they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.
And the
Lord said unto Moses,
The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and
stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses.”
Numbers 15:32, 35-36 KJV
Gods not like that sister he’s like Jesus because that’s him so this is how Jesus is
“They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now
Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? ….So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and
said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
And they which
heard it, being
convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying,
I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.”
John 8:4-5, 7, 9-13 KJV
The Pharisees were of the mosaic law that’s why they rejected and hated Jesus he wasn’t preaching the same thing at all he wasn’t there to command them to stoke the sinner like the law says by commandment many times over because it doesn’t forgive sin it imputes sin
he was there to pardon her and convict those about to follow the law he literally stopped them from doing what Moses said they must do.
the law has a ton of value if we understand it’s a witness of Christ and accept what the New Testament teaches us about the law.
