INTRODUCTION:

(Deuteronomy 4:2 [KJV])
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

(Proverbs 30:5, 6 [KJV])
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

(Isaiah 28:10 [KJV])
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

(Isaiah 28:13 [KJV])
But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

(2 Peter 1:20 [KJV])
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

All of the studies found here, whether book studies or topical studies, are done with research with mainly two things: The KING JAMES BIBLE and a plain old, 1828 Webster's Dictionary. Why? Outside of actually studying secular and Jewish history, archaeology, one needs nothing more. You do not need foreign, dead languages that no one speaks, nor lexicons, nor concordances, nor commentaries, because they differ not only with one another and with the KING JAMES BIBLE, they create division, confusion, debate, and unbelief, apostasy, and a falling away from God Himself. We do not need them. That Word of God written and preserved for us in our own language is supposed to be enough, like the Old Testament was for the Jews, and as the New Testament was for the early Christians in Greek, Latin, Italian, Spanish, German, etc.

There are studies within as tangents on words, subjects found within the two testaments, as to broaden the scope of the study, to learn more, deeper truths. This is not an intellectual site with PhDs, theologians, and no worldly wisdom.. Check everything out, everything. Not just here, but with everything you read and see and hear. Be Bereans:

(Acts 17:11 [KJV])
These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

(1 Thessalonians 2:13 [KJV])
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

Always research for yourself, use all of the context, and never privately interpret!

THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST: DOES IT SAVE US?

BLOOD, n.
  1. The fluid which circulates through the arteries and veins of the human body, and of other animals,which is essential to the preservation of life. This fluid is generally red. If the blood of an animal is not red, such animal is called exsanguious, or white-blooded; the blood being white, or white tinged with blue.
  2. Kindred; relation by natural descent from a common ancestor; consanguinity. God hath made of one blood, all nations of the earth. Acts 17.
  3. Royal lineage; blood royal; as a prince of the blood.

YES INDEED, IT SAVES US, ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE ITSELF

The word "BLOOD" Appears in every book of God's Word except for fifteen of them-namely, the books of Ezra, Esther, Nehemiah, Daniel (strangely), Amos, Obadiah, Malachi, 2 Corinthians, Philippians, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon,

(Genesis 3:21 [KJV])
Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

In order to make clothing of the skin of an animal, it must be killed and skinned, shedding blood. Even......back........then.....blood was important to God, meaning life, the life of an innocent animal. This sacrifice was to cover their sin, which led to the shame of their nakedness, now present in the world after the fall. It covered their sin, but did not remove it. The blood of Jesus Christ as a word in the text is removed, many times, in the "modern" "versions", such as the "NIV", "RSV", NKJV", "ESV", "NLT" etc. in many places, cover to cover. The importance of the blood sacrifice is manifold:

(Genesis 4:1-5 [KJV])
And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD. 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: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

(Matthew 27:24-26 [KJV])
When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children. Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

Even Pilate himself knew it was the BLOOD he was trying to declare his innocence over, not just the death, plus the Jews themselves, who wanted Jesus crucified, knew and freely acknowledged that it was His blood that would be upon their own heads for having Jesus crucified, because His manner of death would be by bleeding to death on that Cross. Scourging was a way to draw lots of blood out from the body, causing one to bleed to death if left un-bandaged. Not to mention CRUCIFIXION!

THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT

(Exodus 24:8 [KJV])
And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words.

(Ezekiel 44:7 [KJV])
In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.

(Zechariah 9:11 [KJV])
As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

(Hebrews 10:29 [KJV])
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

(Hebrews 12:24 [KJV])
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

(Hebrews 13:20 [KJV])

  • About the only things that were not done to it was to be eaten or preserved
  • In fact, blood is so ingrained in Scripture, cover to cover, that it is more than impossible and extremely dishonest, heretical to separate it from God (Jesus Christ), from us, from life, from death.

  • Therefore, one must only conclude from the Word of God, only, that it was not JUST the death of Jesus Christ that saved ANYONE, but His death by His BLOOD, as it says.

    • (Genesis 4:10 [KJV])
    And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground.

    (Genesis 4:11 [KJV])

    (Genesis 9:6 [KJV])

    THERE WAS A DEATH PENALTY FOR SHEDDING BLOOD (MURDER), BLOOD FOR BLOOD, LIFE FOR LIFE, DEATH FOR DEATH

    (Genesis 37:22 [KJV])
    And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.

    BLOODSHED=MURDER

    (Genesis 37:26 [KJV])
    And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?

    (Genesis 37:31 [KJV])
    And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;

    ONCE AGAIN, DEATH=BLOODSHED. BLOOD REPRESENTS DEATH BY ANIMAL

    (Exodus 4:9 [KJV])
    And it shall come to pass, if they will not believe also these two signs, neither hearken unto thy voice, that thou shalt take of the water of the river, and pour it upon the dry land: and the water which thou takest out of the river shall become blood upon the dry land.

    (Exodus 4:25 [KJV])

    (Exodus 7:20 [KJV])
    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.

    (Exodus 7:21 [KJV])
    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.

    BLOOD=DEATH

    (Exodus 12:7 [KJV])
    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.

    (Exodus 12:13 [KJV])

    (Exodus 12:22 [KJV])
    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.

    BLOOD OF AN INNOCENT LAMB PROTECTS, AS IN THE GOSPEL OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

    (Exodus 23:18 [KJV])
    Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the fat of my sacrifice remain until the morning.

    (Exodus 34:25 [KJV])
    Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.

    BLOOD WAS TO BE OFFERED WITHOUT LEAVEN. LEAVEN REPRESENTS SIN IN SCRIPTURE, ERGO THE BLOOD WAS TO BE PURE

    And Moses took half of the blood, and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

    (Ezekiel 22:2 [KJV])

    (Ezekiel 22:6 [KJV])
    Behold, the princes of Israel, every one were in thee to their power to shed blood.

    (Ezekiel 22:9 [KJV])
    In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.

    (Ezekiel 22:12 [KJV])
    In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord GOD.

    (Ezekiel 22:13 [KJV])

    (Ezekiel 22:27 [KJV])
    Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.

    (Ezekiel 23:45 [KJV])
    And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.

    (Ezekiel 24:6 [KJV])
    Wherefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe to the bloody city, to the pot whose scum is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of it! bring it out piece by piece; let no lot fall upon it.

    (Ezekiel 24:7 [KJV])
    For her blood is in the midst of her; she set it upon the top of a rock; she poured it not upon the ground, to cover it with dust;

    (Ezekiel 24:8 [KJV])
    That it might cause fury to come up to take vengeance; I have set her blood upon the top of a rock, that it should not be covered.

    (Ezekiel 28:23 [KJV])
    For I will send into her pestilence, and blood into her streets; and the wounded shall be judged in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.

    (Ezekiel 33:4 [KJV])

    (Ezekiel 33:5 [KJV])

    Here blood is the same as a soul

    (Ezekiel 35:5 [KJV])
    Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:

    In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.

    (Ezekiel 44:15 [KJV])
    But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me, and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord GOD:

    (Ezekiel 45:19 [KJV])
    And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering, and put it upon the posts of the house, and upon the four corners of the settle of the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the inner court.

    (Hosea 1:4 [KJV])

    (Nahum 3:1 [KJV])
    Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;

    (Habakkuk 2:8 [KJV])

    CHRIST"S OWN WORDS ABOUT CHRIST'S OWN BLOOD

    (Matthew 26:28 [KJV])
    For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

    (Mark 14:24 [KJV])
    And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

    (Luke 22:20 [KJV])
    Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

    (John 6:54-66 [KJV])
    Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.

    Now, according the false teaching that the BLOOD Of Jesus Christ did not have to be shed to save us, why did Jesus say that His Blood, shed for us, IS the New Testament IN HS BLOOD!, along with His Body, for our ordinance of communion of the bread and wine?

    (Matthew 27:6 [KJV])
    And the chief priests took the silver pieces, and said, It is not lawful for to put them into the treasury, because it is the price of blood.

    (Matthew 27:24 [KJV])

    (Mark 14:24 [KJV])

    (Luke 8:43 [KJV])

    (Luke 8:44 [KJV])
    Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

    (Luke 11:50 [KJV])
    That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

    (Luke 11:51 [KJV])
    From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

    (Luke 13:1 [KJV])
    There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.

    (Luke 22:44 [KJV])
    And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

    This is very significant, as extreme stress upon the body does this. Why blood? That is the question and the illustration of the importance of shed blood for us.

    (John 1:13 [KJV])
    Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

    (John 6:53 [KJV])
    Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.

    (Acts 2:20 [KJV])
    The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

    (Acts 15:20 [KJV])
    But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

    (Acts 17:26 [KJV])
    And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

    (Acts 20:26 [KJV])
    Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

    Having taken no lives, Paul is innocent of bloodshed

    (Acts 20:28 [KJV])
    Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

    Notice it is not just Jesus's DEATH that purchased us, but the manner of death, which was by His BLOOD being shed for us.

    (Acts 21:25 [KJV])
    As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.

    (Acts 22:20 [KJV])
    And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.

    Stephen was stoned. Very significant that Paul here mentions his BLOOD being shed.

    (Acts 28:8 [KJV])
    And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on him, and healed him.

    (Romans 3:25 [KJV])
    Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

    (1 Corinthians 10:16 [KJV])
    The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

    (1 Corinthians 11:25 [KJV])
    After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

    (1 Corinthians 11:27 [KJV])
    Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

    (1 Corinthians 15:50 [KJV])
    Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

    (Ephesians 1:7 [KJV])
    In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

    (Ephesians 2:13 [KJV])
    But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

    (Colossians 1:14 [KJV])
    In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

    (Colossians 1:20 [KJV])
    And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.


    The BLOOD of Jesus Christ redeems us and brings us to the Father and allows us to be at peace with the Father. That is the power of Christ's BLOOD

    (Ephesians 6:12 [KJV])
    For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

    Lest anyone take this out of context, it is speaking of the spiritual realm, not the fleshly one.

    (Hebrews 2:14 [KJV])
    Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

    (Hebrews 9:7 [KJV])
    But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:

    (Hebrews 9:12 [KJV])
    Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

    That BLOOD of Jesus Christ was brought before the Father and sprinkled on the mercy seat in Heaven for us.

    (Hebrews 9:13 [KJV])
    For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

    (Hebrews 9:14 [KJV])
    How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

    The shed BLOOD of Jesus Christ purges our conscience of our sinful nature, our sins.

    (Hebrews 9:19 [KJV])
    For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,

    (Hebrews 9:20 [KJV])
    Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

    (Hebrews 9:21 [KJV])
    Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

    (Hebrews 9:22 [KJV]) And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

    (Hebrews 9:25 [KJV])
    Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

    (Hebrews 10:4 [KJV])
    For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

    (Hebrews 10:19 [KJV])
    Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

    (Hebrews 10:29 [KJV])
    Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

    (Hebrews 11:28 [KJV])
    Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

    (Hebrews 12:24 [KJV])
    And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

    (Hebrews 13:11 [KJV])
    For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.

    (Hebrews 13:20 [KJV])
    Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

    (1 Peter 1:2 [KJV])
    Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

    (1 Peter 1:19 [KJV])
    But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

    (1 John 1:7 [KJV])
    But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

    (Revelation 1:5 [KJV])
    And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

    (Revelation 5:9 [KJV])
    And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

    (Revelation 6:12 [KJV])
    And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

    (Revelation 7:14 [KJV])
    And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

    (Revelation 8:7 [KJV])
    The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

    (Revelation 8:8 [KJV])
    And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;

    (Revelation 11:6 [KJV])
    These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

    (Revelation 12:11 [KJV])
    And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

    (Revelation 14:20 [KJV])
    And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.

    (Revelation 16:3 [KJV])
    And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

    (Revelation 16:4 [KJV])
    And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.

    (Revelation 16:6 [KJV])
    For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

    (Revelation 17:6 [KJV])
    And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

    (Revelation 18:24 [KJV])
    And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

    (Revelation 19:2 [KJV])
    For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

    (Revelation 19:13 [KJV])
    And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

    Acts 20:28 (KJB)
    Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

    Genesis 4:10 (KJB)
    And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.

    Luke 22:20 (KJB)
    Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

    Matthew 16:18 (KJB)
    And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

    Acts 8:30-34 (KJB)
    And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

    The reference here is to Isaiah 53:6:

    Isaiah 53:5 (KJB)
    But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

    Colossians 1:14 (KJB)
    In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

    And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto me from the ground.

    Luke 22:20 (KJB)
    Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

    Matthew 16:18 (KJB)
    And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

    Acts 20:28 (KJB)
    Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

    Acts 8:30-34 (KJB)
    And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

    Of course, this is referring to Isaiah 53

    But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5 (KJB)

    Colossians 1:14 (KJB)
    In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

    Romans 3:25,26 (KJB)
    Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

    Romans 5:9 (KJB)
    Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

    1 Corinthians 11:25 (KJB)
    After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

    Ephesians 1:7 (KJB)
    In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

    Colossians 1:20 (KJB)
    And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

    Revelation 1:5,6 (KJB)
    And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

    Revelation 19:2 (KJB)
    For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

    Revelation 19:13 (KJB)
    And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

    THE GOSPEL ITSELF DECLARES THIS:

    1 Corinthians 15:3,4 (KJB)
    For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

    (1 Chronicles 28:17 [KJV])
    Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups: and for the golden basons he gave gold by weight for every bason; and likewise silver by weight for every bason of silver:

    A STUDY IN BLOOD: HEBREWS 9


    The context here is a contrast in Old and New Testaments, God's dealings with both Jew and Gentile, as in the description of the tabernacle, what went on in it, and the result to a sinner, versus salvation through the Cross of the LORD Jesus Christ.

    (Hebrews 9:1-10 [KJV])
    Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary. And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

    The most important part here is the part where it says that the high priest went in once per year, but not without blood. Blood imperfect, so it covered their sin(s) only.

    (Hebrews 9:11-14 [KJV])
    But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

    Contrast that to perfect blood from a perfect sacrificial lamb, God Himself being that lamb. Our conscience is purged, before God, forever. Once done, not yearly done. Because it is holy.

    (Hebrews 9:15 [KJV])
    And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

    (Hebrews 9:16 [KJV])
    For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

    Death, blood, here again interchangeable.

    (Hebrews 9:17-22 [KJV])
    For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

    Death, blood, interchangeable once again .The death of the testator, dedicated with blood.

    (Hebrews 9:23 [KJV])
    It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

    So, the shed Blood of the LORD Jesus Christ was so powerful to save that it only had to be offered one time, not yearly, as opposed to the earthly shed blood of animals, which never saved anyone, but only covered their sin. Jesus entered into Heaven itself with His own shed BLOOD!
