The Blood of Christ — Part 1

Gen 4:8 And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

The word “slew” is from the Hebrew “haw-rag’” which means “to smite with deadly intent.” So Cain smote his brother with deadly intent and he died.

Gen 4:9-10 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper? And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.

The name “Abel” is from the Hebrew “heh’-bel” which means “emptiness or vanity; figuratively something transitory and unsatisfactory.” So Abel’s name implies that his life was transitory and without any children.

The word “blood” is from “dawm” which means “blood (as that which when shed causes death) of man or an animal; by analogy the juice of the grape; figuratively (especially in the plural) bloodshed (that is, drops of blood).”

Cain caused Abel’s blood to pour out onto the ground so that he died.

The notion of “crieth” is active indicating that Abel was communicating with The Lord complaining about what had been done to him by his brother.

How did Cain shed his brother’s blood? We know that this crime occurred about four thousand years before Christ, or six thousand years ago. We also know that Cain was The Begotten Son of Satan, alias Lucifer in The First World, who is a cherub, supernatural, and therefore of supernatural knowledge. Recall that That Old Serpent was The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil.

But Adam and Eve were made by God in their innocence, like little children. They walked naked through the Garden of Eden, not even realizing that they were naked. We would not expect them to be going about mining iron ore out of rocks or operating a high temperature furnace in order to smelt iron and copper and zinc.

Cain had knowledge of things beyond what we would expect from people at this time. Was he knowledgeable enough to mine iron from the rocks of the ground in order to make a knife? Could he have not only hit Abel with a rock over the head but also have cut his throat with a knife? Let me stretch your imagination just to get you to think for yourself when you study our Father’s Word.

Gen 4:22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.

Tubalcain was one of the three sons of Lamech, a descendant of Cain. Note that he was an instructor of making iron and brass and things made of iron and brass. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, therefore Tubalcain knew how to mine iron ore and copper and zinc ore and how to melt, refine, purify them, and mix them, and then fashion their alloys into tools and other things, six thousand years ago.

We do not know what Cain did to Abel, but whatever he did, Abel’s blood poured out onto the ground. We also know where the art of mineral mining, and refinement, and the fashioning of things out of iron and brass came from, from the Kenites, the sons of Cain. Thus the art and science of metallurgy is attributed to the Kenites.

Gen 4:23 And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt.

Lamech was a murderer also, just like his forefather Cain before him. Murder and the knowledge of how to kill people seem to run in this bloodthirsty family. They knew how to make things out of iron and brass in The Beginning of this world before The Flood.

Joh 20:24-25 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

Our Lord had risen from the grave and had already met with many of the disciples to continue His teaching to them. Thomas did not believe such a thing was possible and professed his unwillingness to believe until he could see proof that Jesus had literally risen from the dead.

Thomas was called Didymus. The name “Didymus” is from the Greek “did’-oo-mos” which means “double, that is, twin.” Thomas was a disciple of Christ but was literally “double-minded” in that he did not believe what our Lord had told them before His crucifixion.

Note the proof Thomas demanded, to see this man they claimed was Jesus and to see the marks in His hands of the iron nails the Romans had driven through them to nail Him to the cross, and also to see the gash in His side that had been made by the soldier’s metal sword thrust through His side in order to bleed Him like a sacrificial animal. Our Lord’s Blood had been poured out upon the ground with metal instruments originally fashioned by Cain’s descendants way back In The Beginning.

The Blood of Christ — Part 2

Gen 9:4-5 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.

The life is in the blood, and we must never eat or drink the blood.

Gen 9:5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man.

A man’s life, which is in his blood, is valued the same as the life of any man who sheds his blood. The life of the murderer is required for the life of the man he murdered.

Gen 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

And men must execute any man who murders another man, because man was made in the image of God.

Gen 49:8 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee.

Our Lord was the descendant of Judah (and also Levi) through His mother Mary. Because Mary’s father was of the tribe of Judah, and her mother was of the tribe of Levi. So the flesh body of Jesus through Mary was of both bloodlines, Judah and Levi, making Him both of the kingline and of the priestline. Therefore Jesus was Anointed as The King Priest of Israel.

Gen 49:9 Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?

Our Lord is called The Lion of The Tribe of Judah.

Gen 49:10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.

The scepter is what a king holds up to symbolize his power. Shiloh is an epithet of Jesus, The Messiah. So the appearance of Jesus The Messiah completed this prophesy about Judah. Since that time, Christ Jesus holds the scepter as King and Lawgiver.

Gen 49:11-12 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.

Our Lord called Himself, The True Vine, and He rode into Jerusalem just before The Passover on a donkey. He also turned the water into wine at the marriage feast because His mother insisted. Note that wine is symbolized as “the blood of grapes.”

Exo 7:14-18 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh’s heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go. Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning; lo, he goeth out unto the water; and thou shalt stand by the river’s brink against he come; and the rod which was turned to a serpent shalt thou take in thine hand. And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear. Thus saith the LORD, In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD: behold, I will smite with the rod that is in mine hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood. And the fish that is in the river shall die, and the river shall stink; and the Egyptians shall lothe to drink of the water of the river.

Pharaoh went out in the morning to bathe in the river just as The Lord said he would, and Moses and Aaron went to meet him. Moses spoke to Pharaoh and told him that he was going to strike the waters of the river with his rod and they will be turned into blood, because Pharaoh had repeatedly refused to let The Lord’s people go.

Exo 7:19-21 And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone. And Moses and Aaron did so, as the LORD commanded; and he lifted up the rod, and smote the waters that were in the river, in the sight of Pharaoh, and in the sight of his servants; and all the waters that were in the river were turned to blood. And the fish that was in the river died; and the river stank, and the Egyptians could not drink of the water of the river; and there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.

Our Lord commanded Moses to smite the river with his rod to turn the water into blood throughout all of Egypt. Pharaoh was a type of The Antichrist that would come in The Last Days. The people could not drink any water from any river or stream or from any vessel, because it had all turned into blood.

Moses turned the water into blood. Later Jesus turned the water into The Blood of Grapes.

The Blood of Christ — Part 3

Exo 12:1-4 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.

This was The Passover Lamb, which was selected and set apart on the tenth day of Abib, the first month. Our Lord is called The Lamb of God. The sacrifice of a lamb each year in the first month of the year for The Passover was a similitude of God’s Plan for our Salvation, the Redemption of our Souls from Death, which would be sealed by the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of The Messiah, The Lamb of God.

Exo 12:5-7 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.

The Lamb must be kept from the tenth day until the fourteenth day of the first month, and be killed on the fourteenth day. The Blood of The Lamb must be spread upon the upper door post and upon both of the side posts of the door of the house in which we must eat The Lamb.

Exo 12:8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

We must eat The Lamb with unleavened bread, that is, with bread that contains no leaven to puff it up.

Exo 12:9-10 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof. And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.

We must eat all of it, because any that remains until the next morning must be burned in the fire.

Exo 12:11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD’S passover.

We must eat it in a hurry, ready for war, with our shoes on and our staff in our hand. This is The Lord’s Passover.

Exo 12:12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.

The Lord will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt tonight.

Exo 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

The Blood of The Lamb will protect us from The Death Angel that will come upon all the people and cattle of Egypt (upon the whole world in The Last Days).

Exo 12:14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.

The Passover is commanded to be observed throughout The Eternity.

Exo 12:15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

This is The Feast of Unleavened Bread.

Exo 12:16-20 And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you. And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever. In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even. Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.

This annual Feast of Unleavened Bread began on the fourteenth day of the first month of the year and ended on the twenty first day. The first month is Abib which starts on the Spring Equinox, which in 2023 was on March 20, EDT USA. The first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread began on The Passover when The Lamb was killed and was a High Sabbath. Recall that the people were required to take a lamb of the first year on the tenth day and take care of it until the fourteenth day of the month which was The Passover. The first High Sabbath on the fourteenth day was followed by a week of Sabbaths, seven days, which ended on the twenty first day of the month with another High Sabbath.

Moses read The Book of The Covenant to the people at the sacrificial feasts at first, but after they were ordained, the priests would be required to read The Law to the people during this festival and two others, so that Israel would be taught God’s Law each year, the pure and unadulterated reading of The Scriptures.

Later, Jesus warned His disciples of the “leaven of the scribes and Pharisees” which was their false doctrine. Like so many antichrists today, those hypocrites would read a verse or two out of context and give an hour long speech of little rules they had made up and of their philosophies on the subject. So they gave the people a little “Bread of Life” but puffed it up with a lot of confusing gibberish that made it of no effect. Over the centuries, the scribes and Pharisees wrote a 22 volume set of Commentary (religious opinions) of The Old Testament called The Talmud. And Jews are still taught from The Talmud by their Rabbis to this day.

Exo 12:21-23 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover. And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.

Satan is The Destroyer who will come into this world in These Last Days.

Exo 12:24-26 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service. And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?

We must teach about The Passover to our children so that they understand in The Last Days, because this is what our Father commanded.

But the antichrists teach their congregations to celebrate two pagan “gods” instead of The Passover, while claiming that doing so is in service to Christ Jesus. They call this service, “Easter,” which is from “Ishtar” which was the Babylonian Goddess of Fertility (of humans and animals). And they present fertility symbols of the Satanic Occult, “eggs,” candied or boiled eggs colored with dyes to make them pretty and attractive to children. And another symbol are “rabbits,” candied or living rabbits, which are known for their prolific reproduction. They also teach their congregations to celebrate the Sunrise, which is giving honor to the Egyptian Sun God, “Amun-Ra.” But no where in God’s Word are we taught to substitute pagan worship (even in ignorance) instead of The Passover. This knowledge is critical to our understanding.

Act 12:1-5  Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.) And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. 

This is the only reference to the English word “Easter” in The King James Bible, and it is a translation error, possibly deliberate so as not to obviously incriminate The Great Whore and her Whorish Daughters. The word is from the Greek “pas’-khah” which means “the Passover (the meal, the day, the festival or the special sacrifices connected with it)”. The word means PASSOVER! not EASTER! not ISHTAR. So the phrase where we find it should read, “intending after Passover to bring him forth to the people.” Remember, we are learning language, and the simplicity in understanding the unadulterated Word of God.

Exo 12:27-29 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD’S passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped. And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.

The Antichrist will come. Satan is The Death Angel. We must have The Blood of The Lamb over the posts of the doors of our houses (our minds) so that he will not be able to destroy our souls by deceiving us.
