For the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night. And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony. Revelation 12:10-11.
Today your LORD (יהוה) God (אלהים) says:
What is the law on which you plead the case that is against you from Adam’s fall to now in order to win complete acquittal and eternal life? The Law of the Blood of the Lamb. Plead the Blood and win.
You were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ. 1 Peter 1:18-19.
Why blood? For the eternal life you lost, an eternal life had to be given for justice to be fulfilled but I have taught you from the beginning that the life is in the blood.
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement. Leviticus 11:17.
And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. Hebrews 9:22.
And the Blood of Jesus is eternal it is still on the mercy seat in Heaven ever pleading for you for eternal redemption.
But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. Hebrews 9:11-12.
Blood is liquid, it can be poured. Jesus poured out His life for you. You can wash your robes and make them white in the blood of the Lamb. The blood was poured on the altar, the blood was painted on the door posts and lintels of the homes of the Israelites so that the destroyer passed over them and no plague or death entered their homes because of the blood line around the door.
Like the anointing poured on the head of your High Priest that pours down to the members of the body, like the living water of the Holy Spirit springing up in you and pouring out of you like rivers, like Jesus pouring down the Holy Spirit upon you from My throne after He had won your salvation and ascended to His throne at My right hand, like Me pouring My love in your heart by the gift of the Holy Spirit, like grace flowing into you as the branch attached to the vine, so too the precious blood. The Spirit, the water, and the blood are all poured into you and onto you to make you pure, holy, blameless, and beyond reproach.
And the Spirit, the water and the blood have come to testify for you and for Me when you plead your case for redemption and eternal life. And what do the Spirit, the water and the blood testify at your hearing in the Court of Heaven?
For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement. If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that He has testified concerning His Son. The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son. And the testimony is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. 1 John 5:7-13.
This is nothing you earn, it is how you return to Me and what you bring with you to return. You bring your Lamb and you bring His blood. And now, since Christ died once for all, you do not bring a lamb from the flock but you come with Jesus as your Lamb and His blood by the fruit of your lips in prayer.
Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, for you have stumbled because of your iniquity. Take words with you and return to the LORD. Say to Him, “Take away all iniquity and receive us graciously, that we may present the fruit of our lips. Hosea 14:1-2.
And as the priest of old, I am not looking at your sins, I am looking at the quality of your lamb, and Jesus is perfect. He was fit to take your sins and give you His righteousness.
I teach you this in the Covenant made between Me and Moses and the descendants of Abraham. There I gave five sacrifices to cover the sins of the people when they had unintentionally sinned. Four of the five were blood sacrifices, only the grain (unleavened bread) offering was not an offering where blood was poured out but it accompanied such sacrifices as it did at the Passover, for unleavened bread and wine were consumed with the lamb. The morning and evening burnt offering of the unblemished lamb were accompanied by unleavened bread and a hin of wine. Which later became the memorial meal of the Body and Blood of Jesus. A change in substance from earthly to divine.
At the time of Moses, when a sinner brought his offering to the tabernacle, entering the east gate at the bronze altar, the priest did not examine the sinner, he examined the lamb or other sacrificial animal he brought as his burnt offering, sin offering, guilt offering, or peace offering. If the lamb was pure without blemish, then the sinner’s sins and guilt could go on the head of that lamb, and then the throat of the lamb was slit by the sinner, the blood poured out into bowls and was poured upon the altar, and the sin was atoned for as the body of the lamb burnt to ashes.
Then the LORD called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting, saying, “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When any man of you brings an offering to the LORD, you shall bring your offering of animals from the herd or the flock. If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer it, a male without defect; he shall offer it at the doorway of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before the LORD. He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, that it may be accepted for him to make atonement on his behalf. Leviticus 1:1-4.
My Covenants all began with the offering of blood. The same way that I foreshadowed when Adam sinned and needed a covering for his nakedness, for sin stripped him of the glory in which he had been clothed. Sin leaves you naked and exposed. The first man and woman tried to cover their shame with the leaves of a fig tree, but I slaughtered a ram and clothed them in the ram’s skins. The redemption had begun. One day you would be clothed in Christ. You wash your robes and make them white in the blood of the Lamb.
The LORD God made garments of skin (ram’s (sheep’s)) skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them. Genesis 3:21.
Adam’s first two children brought offerings to Me. In the course of time Cain brought an offering to Me of the fruit of the ground, but Abel had learned from that first sacrifice that clothed his mother and father, and he brought the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And I had regard for Abel and for his offering; not for the offering of Cain. Genesis 4:4. It is the blood that makes atonement for sin and it has to be unblemished blood.
The way that I inaugurated and affirmed the Covenant in its fulness with Abraham, was by the blood of a three year old ram (sheep), Genesis 15:9, cut in two, and later, on Mt. Moriah, where Abraham took his son to sacrifice as a burnt offering, I Myself provided the lamb for the burnt offering, a ram caught in the thicket. Genesis 22:13.
“Elohim Himself will provide the lamb (seh ( שֶׂה)) for the burnt offering.” Genesis 22:8.
And this was the way it begun with Moses (Passover Lamb (seh ( שֶׂה))) and the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the way the New Covenant began between Me and Jesus and between you and Jesus– with the Blood of the Lamb. John the Baptist pointed it out to all that Abraham’s prophecy was fulfilled in Jesus, the Lamb for the burnt offering that I Myself would supply.
The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29.
The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. Revelation 13:8. He is the foundation on which you build your lives and on which His church is built, the revelation of the Lamb. You who believe have your names written in the Book of Life of the Lamb.
The scarlet cord, the Tikvah, the hope that runs through the Bible that you, who have taken refuge in Me, would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before you. Redemption. Reconciliation. Righteous restored by faith in the blood of the Lamb.
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil, where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 6:18-20.
And I brought Moses and My covenant people out of Egypt under the blood of the Passover lamb, rich and healed so that they could build a glorious tabernacle where I could dwell with them on the journey and teach them who I am, was and will be by My Word and show them the sacrifices of atonement that were the shadows of the good things to come in Jesus, the eternal lamb who is still in the center of My throne, in the depths of My innermost being. The plan of your salvation, sanctification, redemption and glory.
Christ your Passover has been sacrificed and when I raised Him from the dead I raised you with Him. How? By the Blood of the Covenant:
Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep by the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. Hebrews 13:20-21.
And what does the Holy Spirit testify to you? Your sins and offenses I remember no more. Hebrews 10:17. How? Washed away in the blood of the Lamb. Though your sins were red as scarlet, I have made you white as snow. Jesus’ cloak became covered with blood but yours is not. He took all you faults, sins, guilt and shame on Himself and released you from your sins by His blood.
Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood—and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. Revelation 1:5-6.
Satan is an accuser, a prosecutor, and he not only tries to torment you with your sins, putting guilt, shame and remorse on you to steal your peace and your joy, kill your dreams, and destroy your destiny but he also is constantly accusing you before Me. Why? Because he knows Scripture well and he knows because of the blood of Jesus, your sins and offenses I remember NO MORE. So he tries to put Me in remembrance of them and he tries to make you remind Me of them to by making you keep begging Me to forgive you of things you have already repented of and confessed to Me. But if you cannot let them go, you do not understand the power of the law of the blood. I forgive you by the blood of My Son and that is how you must forgive yourself as well.
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us. Ephesians 1:7-8.
So what do you do to live free of condemnation? The answer is simple, you argue your case and the law on which you plead your case is the blood of the Lamb. You answer the accusations with the justification: the blood of the Lamb and the Word of your testimony. And by your words you are acquitted and by your words you are condemned. The verdict is not guilty and I have already given you the victory over sin and death in Jesus.
For the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night. And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony. Revelation 12:10-11.
Sing this song and you will understand, it is called “In the Court of Heaven.”
By your words you are acquitted, by your words you are condemned, say the right thing, O my brethren, so you may have a good end. The accuser of the brethren accuses you night and day in the Court of Heaven, but you know what to say! “I plead the Blood, Your Honor, that is the law on which I plead my case, for you know well, Your Honor, that my sins it did erase. My testimony is just this: I am righteous in your sight and you have rescued me from darkness into light. I am healed, redeemed, and blessed, and this I have confessed. The Just Judge, the Almighty God, then will say: “As you have testified, so you are justified, washed clean by the Blood of the Lamb you can take your stand with the Redeemed and the verdict is NOT GUILTY, just as you have spoken. Case is closed and dismissed, for the devil’s power is broken!
Plead the blood and live under the continuous cleansing power of the blood.
If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son continually cleanses us from all sin. 1 John 1:6-7.
My Word became flesh and dwelt among you so He could be your kinsman redeemer and redeem you with His precious blood.
Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. Hebrews 2:14-15.
I love you. You are acquitted and free. Sin no longer is your master. Death no longer has any hold on you. When Jesus died, you died, and when I raised Jesus, I raised you with Him. And it is all because of the Law of the Blood. Never forget to hang onto the scarlet cord (Tikvah in Hebrew). Rahab hung it in her window so that every time she looked out she saw a beautiful future and a hope (Tikvah in Hebrew, “hope” and “cord” are the same Hebrew word). And hope did not disappoint, it gave her a new life and put her in the line from which was birthed Jesus, your hope, and His blood is the cord that attached to your anchor of hope behind the veil. And that is what you should see as well.
Therefore, brethren, since we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new (freshly slaughtered) and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is, His flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:19-23.
