Unfortunately, many Hebrews still have not come to know the Lord Jesus and so they are still slaughtering animals. When the final sacrifice for sin has already been given, Jesus Christ.
Jewish Priestly Passover Sacrifice
They’re warming up for doing it in the old temple!
That’s the non-bloddy preview. If you want to see the full video, blood and all, see here.
Please read below, especially anyone who feels the above video is a good thing.
Hebrews 9:11-28 (New American Standard Bible)
11 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; 12 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. 13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
15 For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. 16 For where a covenant is, there must of necessity be the death of the one who made it. 17 For a covenant is valid only when men are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives. 18 Therefore even the first covenant was not inaugurated without blood. 19 For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, 20 saying, ?THIS IS THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT WHICH GOD COMMANDED YOU.? 21 And in the same way he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the blood. 22 And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
23 Therefore it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; 25 nor was it that He would offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the holy place year by year with blood that is not his own. 26 Otherwise, He would have needed to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now once at the consummation of the ages He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself. 27 And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, 28 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.
Now I know Messianic Jews already know, but all other Hebrews and all in the world should know, that you will not find salvation for your soul in the blood of an animal. The only hope now is in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, done once and for ALL who will call on the name of the Lord Jesus as the Son of God who rose on the 3rd day, to be saved and baptized by the Holy Spirit.
Romans 10:12-13 (New American Standard Bible)
12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him;
13 for “WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.”
God has already given His Only Begotten Son for sin. There is no reason to seek salvation in something less, such as the blood of animals. Yes under The Law there were ritual sacrifices, shadows of what Christ has done, The Law has changed.
Hebrews 7:12 (New American Standard Bible)
12 For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also.
Salvation is in the shed blood of Jesus Christ, no longer seek salvation in the blood of an animal.
The question is not whether it is good but rather is it prophetic. Obviously the blood of the “true” Lamb of God, Jesus Christ is the only way. However, this points to the many precursors to the rebuilding of the temple. This is important because it points to the rapid approaching end times. So in this case you can at least say it is “good” for us who are saved and looking forward to the return of the Lord. However, you can say it’s bad for the Jews who are wasting their time on animal sacrifices.
Interestingly, “Christians” like John Hagee are encouraging this movement by pouring money and resources into breeding a red heifer to be sacrificed in the new temple that they believe will be built by Jews in the end times. “… the John C. Hagee Royalty Trust paid more than $5.5 million for a 7,600-acre ranch in Brackettville, Texas, where cattle are raised in a venture with the Texas Israel Agricultural Research Foundation, a nonprofit outfit operated by the pastor.” http://www.prospect.org/cs/articles?article=pastor_strangelove
Don’t get me wrong as to what I’m saying. I in no way believe in John Hagees theology. I do not endorse this nonsense either. I am merely looking at this from the angle of Prophecy in regards to the closeness of the end times.
