I used to believe animal sacrifices was just some gross blood letting ceremony practiced by backwards people. But after a study of the law I learned they are actually a gift from God to man not a gift from man to God.
With the exception of the burnt offering ( wholely consumed by fire) the sacrifices are to be eaten-- this includes the tithe offering.
they are offered with cakes and herbs and wine. There is music, song and psalms.
the altar is described as the table of the Lord. they are feasts of joy and gladness.
the completion of the sacrifices offered is to partake of them.
they are a shadow of Christ
He is our peace offering
sin offering
trespass offering
wave offering ( waved before the crowd as they cried crucify Him)
heave offering ( upon the cross)
grain offering ( bread of life)
tithe offering ( firstborn )
Jesus pointed this out when He taught -- My flesh is food indeed
My blood is drink indeed
we call this the Lords Supper
p.s. catholics do not continuously sacrifice Jesus that is a perpetual offering
we do continuously partake of this offering with joy and gladness
(not symbolically -- we believe in the real presence )
