Blood Covenant 1

The blood covenant was first done by Abel. Abel did this by faith of his first acceptable sacrifice, the first worship, the first blood that was shed. A burnt offering. Genesis 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstings of his flock, & of the fat thereof; & the Lord had respect unto Abel, & his offering; Hebrew 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice then Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; & by it he being dead, yet speaketh. This shows that without the sacrifice blood there isn't a way to God. No fellowship, no power, no joy of worshiping the Lord, nothing but, of the sacrificed blood. Then you see Noah after the flood. The first thing Noah does is to give a sacrifice of blood. A burnt offering. Then you have Abraham; the test of Abraham giving up his most precious belonging as a sacrifice. His son, Isaac. Abraham knew that he had to have sacrifice & shedding of blood. God had a covenant with Abraham, that Abraham would be the father of a Nation - Israel. So Abraham took Isaac to sacrifice him to God. God saw that Abraham would give up his precious son. So, God provided a blood sacrifice of a lamb. Then you have Moses and you see the Israelites having blood on their door frame. That saved the Israel first Born's from being killed. That when the angle of death went through Egypt the angle would pass over the blood & not touch that house hold. Exodus 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the house where you are; & when I see the blood, I will pass over you, & the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. There had to be blood & again a substitute was used instead of the their own blood being she-dded. Hebrew 9:7 But into the second went the high Priest alone once every year, not with-out blood, which he offered for himself & for the errors of the people. As it said NOT WITH-OUT BLOOD. A blood covenant was made once Moses and the Israelites reached Sinai, Exodus 24:8 And Moses took the blood & sprinkled it on the people, & said, Behold the blood of the Covenant which the Lord hath made with you, concerning all these words. So, with the shedding of the Blood here the covenant has power & foundation. And by the shedding of blood; God & man can have a fellowship with each other as the blood has removes the sins of man. A blood Covenant is still done today. What is yours is mine and what is mine is yours. So, what is God is mine & what's mine is God's. God wanted to dwell among Moses & Israel. So He had them to build a sanctuary that he may dwell among them. Exodus 25:8 And let them make me a Sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. Can you imagine God living among you? That you can find Him & serve Him in His house. You knew God was there!! You can have that today also, by believing in God's word. Jesus was our covering of the Blood Covenant. by Rev. Londa Picard
