BLOOD
(THE REDEMTPIVE BLOOD OF JESUS)
THE CROSS
To fully grasp the importance of this blood concept, one should look at the Bible as a full rendering of the communications between God and man. This Bible as we have it in our hands today is comprised of two parts. An Old Covenant and a New Covenant. To simplify these two in a capsule, the Old Covenant points all dialog forward toward the Cross. The New Covenant points all dialog backward to the cross.
It could be more simplified as “The cross is the bridge between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant.” The multiple and varied actions recorded in the Old Covenant are physical actions that point directly to the spiritual actions experienced by Jesus and culminated with His death on the cross.
Subsequently, all multiple and varied actions recorded in the New Covenant are also spiritual actions we achieve by performing the necessary physical actions on our part that apply to the life everlasting, as achieved by the death of Jesus on the cross.
The support for this bridge is that in addition to His death on the cross, He arose with a completely NEW life source. Carefully following the New Covenant teachings, any human can also now obtain this NEW life source.
OLD COVENANT BLOOD SACRIFICE CRITERIA
Leviticus 17:11
[11] For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
This scripture clearly implies that there is life “outside” the flesh. (vegetation) Flesh is sustained by the internal “blood” supply. Another truth, is that with NO blood, flesh has no life.
Additionally, blood is rendered in two basic parts. There is a plasma portion and a liquid portion. This duel mixture MUST include an oxygen component, to sustain life.
A mathematical equation here now states that from verse 11 above, the atonement for sin is only attained through extinguishing life from one living blood source to cover or pay for the sin in another living blood source. It is from this equation that we have Old Covenant sacrificial laws. Some innocent animal must shed blood and die in order to “atone” for the sins of some human. This entire equation is all about blood.
Now an early story comes into better focus, in the book of Genesis.
Genesis 4:2-5
[2] And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
[3] And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. [4] And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: [5] But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell. [6] And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? [7] If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
An understanding and appreciation for this blood covenant clearly shows why Cain’s sacrifice was NOT applicable. While the plants had life in them, they had no blood. Therefore, the entire sacrifice was rejected as incomplete. Cain’s sacrifice action was called “sin” by God.
Genesis 1:10-13
[11] And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. [12] And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. [13] And the evening and the morning were the third day.
In this scripture setting, we see some very unusual sequences and announcements. Since “God is life” we can believe God placed some portion of His life into grass and trees. However, He placed that life portion in the seeds of those plants. Those plants and seeds cannot sin. That life that is in them is perpetual.
We have seen that in several of the ancient tombs in Egypt, some of the various seeds for food sources, were discovered after some four millennium of darkness and removed. These various ancient seeds were then taken out into the light of the day and then planted – they grew.
This is amazing, as we know it takes photosynthesis to make plants grow. These plants give off a by-product called carbon dioxide and oxygen. This is on creation day number three. (The sun will not be created until tomorrow.) This now indicates that there must be additional solar systems out there, of which, we have no knowledge at all. But we do know enough that these plants and grass have the original “life of God” in them and perpetually pass that original life on down the line through seeds.
These afore mentioned plants and grasses are derived from the earth, or planetary ingredients. Now, God takes a more personal approach and creates a human. He uses different ingredients from all the other creations. This man creation is derived from dust ingredients. Dust is not native to this earth. But rather, it is the space waste left over from the Genesis 1:3 “Light” creation. (We covered this in more detail in volume one.)
Genesis 2:7
[7] And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
While the scripture is somewhat silent on this multiple action verse, we do know that God had no hands. He had no feet. He had no physical characteristics as we know them at all. God is a spirit. Yet, He was able to create a latent figure lying flat on the ground and then “breathed” into this figure and suddenly this figure “became a living soul”. Of all creations in this physical world, only man has the ability to sin.
This original man creation was carrying a blood stream with the life of God surging in it. It is not too much of a stretch to comprehend that this word for “breathed” was simply an oxygenation of the dormant plasma and liquid parts of the blood in this man.
Digress.
It has been said that God created Adam as an infant and nursed him into adulthood. Possibly He did. But more possibly, one needs an ovarian egg to accomplish this. Ovaries belong to females. This sort of thought development can lead to a female predating Adam. We reject this theory. (This female has been named Lilith.) We believe that God created Adam in full stature and Adam stood up and began conversation with his creator immediately.
Ezekiel 18:4
[4] Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Ezekiel shows us that all “souls” are under singular judgement to their owner. This is made possible by the inclusion of blood which is life extended from the owner – God Himself. The single source of blood is from Adam in the garden and also post garden.
(It is the belief of this author that the human body is the enclosure of the humanity portion of mankind. Also, this belief continues that the living soul is the enclosure of the spirit, both of mankind and God. The human body will return to dust but the soul will account to God for actions done in the human body.)
Digress.
Darwin’s Theory of Evolution has a “missing link”. The reason it is missing is simply because it does not exist. These first few verses of Genesis clearly point out that all creations are derived from “earth” ingredients. The creation of man is derived from a totally different material, called dust. Dust particles are billions of years older that earth particles. Evolution (change) does exist, but NOT Darwin’s Theory of Evolution as he projected it.
The Blood of Adam
Using medical understanding and scientific language, we will add biblical script to compliment the other two language usages. Beginning with Genesis 1:26-28
[26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. [27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. [28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
The author has highlighted a couple of very important script language portions.
The Hebrew word for “God” … as in “And God said”… is Elohim. Elohim is a plural form of God. Trinitarians frequently use this passage to attempt to validate their three God form of theology. Their simple analogy says “plural” is a license to establish “three” as fact.
Factual truth states that “plural” is “a minimum of two and a maximum of infinitive”. While it includes three, it is not exclusive to three only. The exclusive usage is “minimum of two and maximum of infinitive”.
Genesis 1:27 clearly states that male and female creations (two) were the plural usage necessary to fulfill the definitions.
This specific usage of these terms are for reasons that will be used again some 4000 years or so later on in the future.
First consideration: Creations are in a different arena than births. Once the body of Adam was fully created, it then needed oxygen to activate life in his bloodstream. As stated above, the breath of God was the catalyst to oxygenate his blood. It can also be believed that Eve was of the same blood type as Adam. Since she was created from Adam’s living bone marrow in his rib.
The relationship between Adam and his wife started a new plurality to every human person since that creation day. All babies born after the human fashion, require the exact same replication. All births require a male germination, and a female body for gestation. We will see this as a world changer in the birth of Jesus.
In addition to these scriptures indicating plural as two, we have more scriptures to validate this truth.
Carefully consider this account directly extracted from the Book of Acts. Acts 1:13-14
[13] And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. [14] These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. (KJV)
Highlight by author.
Clearly Luke references “both” meaning “two”. Careful reading mathematically excludes Luke speaking of the names of the people. There are 11 male names directly recorded. However, Luke continues to add an additional female note to include Mary the mother of Jesus and additional un-named women. Mathematically, this must mean 3 females at the minimum. Women as plural, minimum as two, and additionally Mary the mother of Jesus would increase the count to 3 at the minimum.
Using a mathematical equation, we determine that the “both” or “two” can only mean gender. Male and female were both in attendance.
One more factor enters this relationship with Adam and Eve.
Genesis 2:16-17
[16] And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: [17] But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Eve is not yet created and this conversation is strictly between God and Adam. This is also the staging ground between God and Satan. We all know the story. Adam and Eve chose to follow the leading of Satan rather than the commandments of God. The “day they ate of forbidden fruit, they would die”. This brings us to a real conundrum. Since both Adam and Eve are children of God they have no death genome in their blood stream. They were designed to live forever.
“A natural pursuit to a logical conclusion…” In modern language, we would say something like, at the point of sin (disobedience), possibly, as an aftermarket insertion, God implanted a death genome in their blood. Consequently, every person ever born in their ever expanding downline, also are born with this death genome replication.
While we do not desire to encroach upon eternity, we do believe it necessary to elaborate somewhat on this medical side of birth.
All births have a beginning called conception. Conception occurs when a male s***m cell unites with a female egg. Without getting too graphic, only to say that specific things immediately cause this fertilization. These next few statements can readily be ascertained by casual medical studies.
As the fetus begins to grow, ALL blood that features life in the fetus is contained in the male s***m cell. NO blood from the female womb ever mixes with the blood from the male cell. There is a device called a placenta, resident in the female that filters all incoming nutrients into the fetus from the mother and her ingestation of various foods. The created waste byproducts are eliminated in the same fashion as the nutrients are ingested. The placenta has a mechanism that allows the particles to be transferred back and forth through an infinitesimally small space without ever physical touching each other. All blood of the fetus and mother are kept separate from each other during this entire gestation period.
Subsequently, Jesus having been fathered by the Spirit, was exempt from Adam’s transmitted death genome. This single act of accepting Jesus into the devil’s death room, breached his contract from the sin in the garden. From that moment onward, all humanity has the option to cross over to life from the death that was inserted by Adam.
This is biblically recorded by Paul in his epistle to the Roman church.
Romans 5:12
[12] Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Paul is expressing a truth in language that the Roman church can comprehend. He clearly states that the only reason sin is in the world now (at the time of his writing) is completely due to a bad choice of Adam’s. While we all don’t have enough power to resist sin alone on an individual basis, we also inherit the death genome from Adam as soon as we are formed at conception.
The same source of “life” gave life to all animal and plant life and also to mankind. Since animal life cannot “sin” their (animal) blood is the only item that can atone for the human life sins. Therefore, God designed a plan of sacrifice to roll back payment for sin for each year, by placing a substitute blood offering on the altar. It also seems that this death genome is the evidence that Satan is looking for to determine that each person who dies and descends into the devil’s control, actually belongs to him because of his victory over Adam and Eve while they were alive back in the garden.
One more biblical story is about body ownership can be located in the book of Jude.
Jude 9
[9] Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
Here we have evidence that the devil claims total sovereignty over all living beings based on his victory in the garden. It surely must be contractually linked to the death genome. In this specific case, Moses was needing his body to meet with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration. The death of Moses was in about 1406 BCE. His subsequent physical meeting with Jesus was after 25 CE.
Now let’s take a look at Jesus.
Luke 1:34-35
[34] Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? [35] And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
Again Matthew’s record shows very similar verbiage.
Matthew 1:18-21
[18] Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. [19] Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. [20] But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. [21] And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
These two references are clearly indicative of a few facts in the case.
Fact # 1: Mary was a virgin.
Fact # 2: Mary was “espoused” to Joseph. This is biblical language showing that for all practical purposes, they were married, but had never consummated their marriage. In today’s language we would consider them as engaged. Also, there had never been a formal marriage ceremony performed yet.
Fact # 3: The father of Jesus is the Holy Ghost. (The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of God.) The different usages of these phrases, Holy Spirit and Holy Ghost, are indicative of time. Spirit is used before the birth of Jesus. Ghost is used after the death of Jesus. Ghost is simply derived to mean, the spirit of one departed.
Fact # 4: Jesus was to be called the “Son of God”. (God was His father.)
Fact # 5: His name was to be called Jesus. This is the final derivative of the original Biblical name of “Y”, “H”, “V”, “H”. This is the acronym to mean, “The God of creation, which is and was and is to come.”
Note, Revelation 1: 8
[8] I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
In Old Testament Script, it is noted that in the King James Version, each time the word, LORD, (master) is used in all capital letters, it is not the original translated word. Rather, it is the acronym YHVH and this phrase is so Holy that for fear of mispronouncing it, the translators substituted LORD to indicate Master, but original text shows YHVH. This LORD is always rendered as capitals to indicate this original text is YHVH. In Hebrew, the first sound of this acronym is “YEH”. In the Hebrew rendering of Jesus, the first sound is also “YEH”. This is the linkage that YHVH and YEHSHUA’ are related and share same properties.
John is leaving no stone unturned in this description of who Jesus really is. Alpha and Omega includes all Greek rendering. Beginning and end renders all other alphabets. Is and was and is to come renders all Hebraic text, including the complete Tanach or Old Testament. (Old Testament is also rendered in some text as “Moses and Prophets”.)
Luke 16: 29
[29] Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
Here Jesus is quoting Abraham who was living before the written law. It appears that Abraham has knowledge of the law which came into being some 500 years after his death. Or Abraham was living by the law before it was written… Regardless, this reference is that Old Testament script has some saving ability… Of course, we also know that Old Testament script has Messianic prophecies, which also render salvation… But we are now living in Grace, so we are bound to the salvation plan according to the New Testament text.
So, how does the Old Testament sacrifice concept parallel the New Testament salvation program?
It is all in the “Blood of Jesus”.
It is of utmost importance to deal with this issue of the Blood of Jesus from the very beginning to His resurrection.
From the Beginning…
As is factually stated above, the father of Jesus is the Holy Ghost. As also stated, the Holy Ghost is the Spirit of God. This Spirit of God is the same Spirit first occurring in the creation recorded in the beginning of the book of Genesis and using the Name of YHVH (The God of creation which was and is and is to come). Factually. The male germination act is recorded to be by this Holy Ghost. This will occur in the female (Mary) for gestation. This birth will occur in Bethlehem some 9 months later on October 1, 5 BCE.
Following the birth, Herod makes one final attempt to s***f out the life of this new born called Jesus. Warned by this same Spirit of God, transmitted by a chosen angel visiting Joseph in a dream message, the family has escaped into Egypt ahead of the ex*****on degree. Herod dies a few months later.
Joseph returns to Nazareth and begins apprenticing Jesus to become a skilled carpenter. At age 12, Jesus is transported to Jerusalem for His Bar-Mitzvah. This is recorded in Luke 2: 41-52
[41] Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. [42] And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. [43] And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it . [44] But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. [45] And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. [46] And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. [47] And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers. [48] And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. [49] And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business? [50] And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. [51] And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. [52] And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
Now, a few more facts emerge from this text.
Fact number #1:
This is Passover time of the year. Spring.
Jesus being born Oct 1, is about half way through His 13th year. This also now places Him in line for His Bar-Mitzvah.
Most everybody attempts to make Jerusalem for at least one of the three required feasts each year. (Passover, Pentecost, and Booths) This Biblical language seems to indicate that Joseph and Mary had Passover as their priority Feast to attend. We have no other record that they attended any of the other two feasts on a regular basis.
This author personally knows friends that have in recent days arrived in Jerusalem for one of these required feasts and added a Bar-Mitzvah for their son. There is leeway as this event falls during the son’s 12th or 13th year. This tolerance also allows parents a two year window to make this all happen. Two sons born a year apart could be doubled up for the Bar-Mitzvahs during the same visit.
While a Bar-Mitzvah is multiple things to most parents, it is primarily a passage rite. This son has full run of the house until this event. He is usually left out of the “men’s” discussions in the front room of the house. He is in the kitchen with his mother and the rest of the women. He also does a lot of playing with cousins and siblings at the various get-to-gathers that occur throughout the year.
However, once his Bar-Mitzvah is complete, he never returns to the kitchen and the women. He now is expected to participate in the “men’s” discussions in the other part of the house.
In the case of Jesus, He would have been in school and tutored by rabbis. They would teach Him the basic “’readin, ‘ritin, and ‘rithmetic”. (Mark Twain) All His classes would have used the Torah as a text book. His comprehension of history would be the biblical account. He would have memorized the 613 laws before He could read. Once He began attending school, He would have associated the memorized sounds with the characters on the page and learned His reading skills.
His language skills would have included, reading in Hebrew. We knows this from scripture.
Luke 4:16-20
[16] And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. [17] And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, [18] The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, [19] To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. [20] And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
This account clearly shows that Jesus could read Hebrew. All Synagogue scrolls are written in Hebrew.
He would have been able to speak the street language of that day, called Aramaic. Aramaic uses Hebrew letters and sounds, but is considered not suitable for Holy Script. However, it is believed that Paul wrote his first drafts for his epistles in Aramaic. Many pagans would speak Aramaic moreso than Hebrew. So, his messages to them were in their common language of Aramaic.
As a skilled carpenter, Jesus would have had a working knowledge of the Greek language. In the business world, He would have spoken Greek for business purposes.
So, it is completely acceptable to believe that Jesus was at least tri-lingual.
These three languages would been mastered by the time of His Bar-Mitzvah.
He would have exercised some accomplishments in Joseph’s shop by the age of 12. He would have been more of a laborer during this time.
As all houses were constructed of stone and masonry content, when a homeowner desired some sort of furniture, he would have contacted a carpenter. The carpenter would have showed up at the jobsite with a tree or two. As the desired furniture was discussed, the carpenter would have determined how much wood was needed. Then a price would have been agreed upon. Then the job would have begun with directions on how to cut the trees into usable lumber. The apprentices would have had the task to cut the trees properly to produce proper lumber.
By age 20, an apprentice would have begun working more on his own, but still under the guidance of the master. At different times along the way, this senior apprentice would employ additional apprentices.
By the age of 30, this apprentice would leave his shop where he had become a master, and travel to another town or location and set up shop as a master. This is where we receive the word “journeyman”. (An apprentice who has become a master and journeys to another location so as to not steal work from his teacher.)
We should now return to the Jerusalem setting and the Bar-Mitzvah of Jesus. Since Jesus was still a student and an apprentice, he would have been more under the control and teaching of Mary. It is clear He had considerable knowledge of His birth and future in life from her. He clearly rejects Joseph as His father.
One of the final stages of a Bar-Mitzvah is to pass the questions of the Rabbis. The young man is given the Torah Scroll and walks around the area where the Bar-Mitzvah occurs. There is plenty of celebration and today a lot of candy is thrown in every direction. A lot of pictures are taken and eventually the scene calms down and the Torah Scroll is returned to its cabinet and some Rabbi asks the final question, “Do you (Jesus) have any questions for us?” “A natural pursuit to a logical conclusion”, shows us that Jesus did have some questions. Chapter 2 and verse 46 clearly shows He is questioning these Rabbis about Torah Script. At least one Rabbi is so intrigued with this young protégé, that he actually takes young Jesus home with him to his family. For three days Jesus is escorted to the Temple and placed before Doctors of the Law and questions come and go all day long.
It is the belief of this author that the teaching from Mary and latent knowledge of the paternal side of His being, has given Jesus a grasp of the Law that amazes all He comes into contact with. This thought pattern can also be validated by the text above. From the text account, Jesus had figured that His job here on earth was to do exactly as He was doing. His teaching of the Rabbis was quite astounding.
However, He stood in subjection of Mary when she scolded Him for this behavior. From the viewpoint of Mary, Jesus had caused them considerable delay upon returning to Nazareth. From the viewpoint of Jesus, this was what his life mission was to be.
It seems that Jesus chose to be subservient to the wishes of Joseph and Mary. “A natural pursuit to a logical conclusion”, indicates that Jesus continued to apprentice in the shop of Joseph and at the age of 30 He left to journey to His new place of business.
Luke 3:23
[23] And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
“A natural pursuit to a logical conclusion” states that as a beginner apprentice on the saw, Jesus would have cut Himself multiple times during His working days in the shop. As He bled, there was NO difference in His visible blood. Earlier script states that “it was supposed” that Joseph was His father. Therefore, no mention or observation that His blood looked any different than those around Him.
It can be presumed at the time of this event, that this death genome can only be detected in some staging room of hell. Hell here is different than “lake of fire”. Here, hell is derived to be the place of departed souls. It might have a better definition of “a staging place for departed souls”. Not every use of the word hell has to do with fire… (WE TOTALLY REJECT THE CONCEIPT OF PURGATORY.)
So, Jesus comes on the scene as a journeyman carpenter and is sometimes also called Rabbi. We will need to consider that He may just as easily from time to time used His trade skill in between parabolic teaching. When He visited various people’s homes, He quite possibly was also doing wood working for them.
Jesus, knowing that the devil was confused as to His real identity, was careful in His choice of descriptive words. In the Gospels, the phrase “son of man” was used 80 times. Most often it was spoken by Jesus.
By contrast, the phrase “son of God” is used 28 times in the same amount of scriptures. (Gospels) More specifically, the majority of times this phrase was uttered, it was uttered by someone other than Jesus. In Matthew 4:6 it was the devil himself asking the question…
[6] And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Additionally, when He cast out demons, it was demons uttering the declaration that He was the son of God
One can now readily see that there was considerable confusion in the ranks of hell. Various demons are using conflicting language within themselves. When Jesus spoke to command demons, it was the voice of a human with the authority of God the creator. They (demons) didn’t know what to think.
The power of the masculine Spirit of God as the germination of the body of Jesus is speaking from a feminine gestated body of humanity, or flesh. After considerable discussion in hell, Satan decided the ultimate answer was to just kill this person.
Subsequent scripture sheds considerable light on this subject.
I Corinthians 2: 7-10
[6] Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: [7] But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom , which God ordained before the world unto our glory: [8] Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it , they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. [9] But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. [10] But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
It was only after the fact that the demons and satanic powers realized their error in judgement.
Even the priests and Rabbis came to the same conclusion, after the fact and too late.
Matthew 27: 62-66
[62] Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, [63] Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. [64] Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. [65] Pilate said unto them, Ye have a watch: go your way, make it as sure as ye can. [66] So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.
Of course, this is exactly what happened. And here is the scriptural answer.
Matthew 28: 11-15
[11] Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and showed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. [12] And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, [13] Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. [14] And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. [15] So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.
So now let’s walk slowly through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
Fact: He had no death genome and therefore, would never die. The only way to successfully kill Jesus was to starve the blood of oxygen. We are told that death by crucifixion is “drowning in a vertical position”. As the body tends to gasp for air into the lungs, the lungs continue to pump oxygen into the blood flow. However, this death is so excruciating, that fluid tends to begin to fill the lungs. Hence, we have the description, drowning in a vertical position. This death occurred on Wednesday after noon April 20, 29 CE. He was dead before the sun set that day, more specifically, closer to the three o’clock hour. He was quickly placed in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. (It is commonly believed that Joseph of Arimathea was an uncle to Mary.) We can believe His body was in this tomb all night and all the next day. Day number 1. (Thursday) The same for the evening and morning of the second day. (Friday) The same for the evening and morning of the third day. (Saturday) We are at a Gregorian counting of now Saturday night. Somewhere in the night hours of Saturday/Sunday, before the sun arose, He arose and was seen alive of the women coming to dress the body.
There is a small amount of scriptural accounting of events during this 3 day/night time period.
Conjecture: Once the blood flow ceased in the body of Jesus, He was transported to hell (the place of souls departed) However, as tests were made to locate the death genome, none was found! Suddenly all things now began to fall into place as predetermined “from the foundation of the world…” Since Satan had “won” the battle in the garden, contractually, all souls born thereafter, contained the death genome, directly inherited from the blood of Adam. The death genome was the contractual evidence that this soul belonged to Satan. The failure of a death genome in the blood of Jesus was enough to invalidate the contract all the way back to the garden and then forward to the rapture. Because of the Devil’s breach of contract by assuming ownership over a body not belonging to him, all souls were now free from the “sting of death”.
Note Isaiah 28:18
[18] And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
This portion of prophecy is concerning the priests of that day. Careful consideration shows that Isaiah is writing around 650 BCE. The temple has been standing about 300 years and has evolved into a massive, money making machine. It is so bad that these priests have begun to believe they actually can control post death judgements. God clearly states that He will lay in Zion a cornerstone that shall not be swayed by edicts of man or priests. He could not afford to be too plain as the devil could have figured this all out from that verse.
It is easy to want to stay here a bit longer, but other things are happening. Of course, Jesus was that prophesied cornerstone that was set aside by the builders.
Matthew 27: 51-54
[50] Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. [51] And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; [52] And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, [53] And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. [54] Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.
Revelation 1: 17-18
[17] And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: [18] I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
From these scriptural accounts, it is easy to see that while Jesus was in the “depths” those three days, He was busy. Since the contract was breached, He now had full control of every soul. Matthew says “many” of the saints who were dead and buried were seen alive and walking the streets of Jerusalem. “A natural pursuit to a logical conclusion…” shows that Jesus must have walked through hell opening gates of restriction after He forcibly removed the keys of death and hell from the fingers of Satan. Once free, these saints all rose and walked in Jerusalem. My father once told me that the reason these saints were allowed to resurrect and walk in Jerusalem was to be around for the day of Pentecost and receive the Holy Ghost experience as recorded in Luke’s account in Acts chapter two.
This is all based completely upon the Blood of Jesus. This page in humanity that began in Eden, and ended at the cross, shows brilliance beyond measure. Truly a master plan from the foundations of the earth.
Amazingly, all human creation may now experience freedom from death that Satan had planned. Instead we now have life and life more abundantly. True, the old death genome will take the life from this body, but that is only to allow it to return to dust from which it was borrowed in the first place. Souls are not dust. They are body of the internal spirit. They will now last as long as God lasts. He is termed as eternal. We are everlasting as we have a beginning but no end, once we rid ourselves of this dust.
What a mighty God we serve.
But, it is not yet over. We return to the plurality of God. (Elohim) Every place in Torah scripture where the word Elohim is used it is a prophetic utterance indicating that Jesus would have a masculine germination and a feminine gestation and end up being a product and extension of both genders.
This is still in operation in the church today. We are born into this church by masculine (GOD) germination and feminine (Bride) gestation.
Paul giving this wisdom to the Romans
Romans 10: 12-15
[12] For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. [13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. [14] How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? [15] And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Paul is expanding the beautiful plan of salvation in incremental parts.
How shall they hear without a preacher? Clearly implies that this salvation is initially, audio articulation. As we remember when Jesus spoke to demons, He used His germination voice. It is the God side of birth that speaks what to do. It is then the human (feminine) side of birth that responds with tongues as the Spirit gives utterance.
Easily representing that repentance and water baptism is necessary as this is where the “blood” is applied. This is the circumcision of the heart spoken by Moses in the law.
Deuteronomy 30:6
[6] And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
This is another prophetic source as we see this is a blood covenant with God and not only us, but our offspring. While this scriptural prophecy may have reference to biological offspring, it clearly applies to Spiritual offspring.
We return to creation, and God said Let there be light. Genesis 1:3
God’s first act of creating something new was with using articulation. We as children of God, will need to articulate in the ears of respondents the death burial and resurrection plan of salvation.
Having the “blood” of Jesus inside us we speak with the Spiritual authority to command water baptism in the name of Jesus.
I Peter 3: 18-21
[18] For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: [19] By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; [20] Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
[21] The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
The Apostle Peter is thinking right exactly along these lines when he is writing this epistle. He begins here with the reasons for the sufferings of Jesus. He moves right into His victory over death and hell. And he adds the preaching of Jesus to the saints held in hell’s captivity by sin. He set all of them free as we stated earlier.
Peter continues and adds how 8 souls were saved by water under Noah’s ark. Adding that it is water that is necessary to complete the blood application, or life application in baptism. Blood and life are synonymous here as stated earlier in Leviticus. Peter specifically states that it is baptism that is necessary.
To complete this dual birth experience one needs to have a Spiritual baptism. Water is a physical baptism. Spirit baptism is vocal and completes the spiritual baptism. Hence, Peter is completely in harmony with all existent scripture that “baptism doth now save us…”
The reason for evidence is to satisfy that the salvation pattern is not compromised in any way. Evidence of a heart circumcision is physical water baptism where the Name of Jesus is called over the candidate. Evidence of a spiritual baptism is audibly speaking in an unknown tongue as the spirit directs the speech.
So, in summary, when we “speak” to a person secured under the death grip of sin, we are exercising the masculine “word” of God from our Spirit bloodline with no death genome resident in us. This blood of Jesus in us is the power of this speech that convicts. Once spoken, then it is time for the respondent to articulate something. Either they want to know what to do, or they reject this truth.
The only way to be born again is to be germinated by “word” and gestated by humanity. It is in the scope and ability of every saved person to birth anybody they come into contact with. This brings to pass the scripture… Paul specifically spells this out to the Galatians in his epistle to them.
Galatians 3:26-29
[26] For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. [27] For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. [28] There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. [29] And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
This can be also stated as … as many as are baptized into Christ (anointing) have put on Christ (anointing). This is described as to put on a robe or garment. These verses clearly now claim that the saved are replicas or carry the appearance of anointing that was in the beginning. It also implies that both genders are resident within each person regardless of their status…
No Jew
No Greek
No bond
No free
No male
No female
All are one in Christ (anointing)
The blood contains life of the God of creation who was and is and is to come. Simply put, life will last as long as God Himself lasts. Since He has no beginning or ending, we who have had a blood transfusion and are pumping a strain of blood with no death genome, will last the same amount of time. The cross where the Blood was shed, is the high water mark of the entire Bible. The physical body of Jesus was birthed for one reason and one reason only. That reason is to produce blood for the ultimate sacrifice. That sacrifice was the game changer and allowed salvation and redemption for every human ever to walk this planet. What an amazing plan and so perfectly executed for our benefit. Nobody in this universe has this benefit except we humans born after the manner of Jesus Christ (anointed). We are born with dual genders as was Jesus. The difference is the blood. Our blood comes polluted from Adam. The blood of Jesus comes totally from the Spirit of God. We all need a transfusion and a blood covenant in baptism.
This author firmly believes that it is the anointing that empowers the ability to create. It is anointing that energizes one’s dual gender ability to create new birth experiences with everyone we speak to.
Here is an old song written by a man named Phillip Paul Bliss born in 1838. At the age of 38, he died in a train wreck that eventually caught on fire a little ways outside of Chicago. His suitcase survived the fire and this song was located inside the unburned case. I can only think this song is the true picture of Jesus’ death on the cross in such beautiful, poetic script.
1. I will sing of my Redeemer,
And His wondrous love to me;
On the cruel cross He suffered,
From the curse to set me free.
o Refrain:
Sing, oh, sing of my Redeemer,
With His blood He purchased me;
On the cross He sealed my pardon,
Paid the debt, and made me free.
2. I will tell the wondrous story,
How my lost estate to save,
In His boundless love and mercy,
He the ransom freely gave.
3. I will praise my dear Redeemer,
His triumphant pow’r I’ll tell,
How the victory He giveth
Over sin, and death, and hell.
4. I will sing of my Redeemer,
And His heav’nly love to me;
He from death to life hath brought me,
Son of God with Him to be.
We don’t hear this song much anymore, but it still rings in my early memories of days gone by. This is a true song of appreciation for the blood of Jesus.
This concludes a biblical commentary of the Blood of Jesus.
