PSALM 40: PSALM OF THE BURNT OFFERING
H E B R E W S . 12
1 We have seen how the Torah Law is simply a shadow of the good things to come and not the image itself of these ultimate realities. So the offering year after year (of these imperfect sacrifices) cannot bring perfection to those who offer them.
ALL THINGS UNDER THE OLD COVENANT WERE TYPES AND SHADOWS OF THE REALITIES THAT WOULD BE SEEN AND EXPERIENCED UNDER YAHUSHA'S NEW BLOOD-COVENANT. THE TORAH LAW AND THE ENTIRE PRIESTHOOD AND SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM WAS LIKE A SILHOETTE, AND IF WE TRAVEL THROUGH ALL THE TYPES AND PROPHESIES, MODULES AND IMAGES, THEN WE EVENTUALLY COME TO THE FEET OF YAHUSHA - THE ONE WHO CASTS THE PERFECT SHADOW FROM HEAVEN.
REMEMBER THE IMAGE IS NOT A REALITY, BUT JUST A LIKENESS OF ALAHIM YAHUSHA: THE ALEF AND THE TAU.
2 If they'd been effective in serving this purpose, wouldn’t the repetition of these sacrifices have ceased?
DAN.9 - 'HE WILL CAUSE THE SACRIFICES TO CEASE !'
HOW CAN IMPERFECTION BRING ABOUT PERFECTION?
SIN HINDERS ALL PERFECTION, SO THIS OLD SYSTEM WAS
STAMPED WITH FAULTS BECAUSE OF THE PEOPLE AND THINGS INVOLVED ... BUT YAHUSHA BRINGS PERFECTION !
I mean if they had actually worked (and cleansed the person) then wouldn't one sacrifice have cleansed their conscience of sin?
CONSCIENCE = INNER STILL SMALL VOICE INFORMING US OF SIN. THIS VOICE WITHIN BECAME SEERED/DAMAGED AFTER ADAM AND EVE SINNED AND MANKIND HAS SOUGHT TO RELIEVE THEIR GUILTY CONSCIENCE EVER SINCE BY DOING WORKS AND DEEDS TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT THEIR CONDITION. EVERYONE INATELY KNOWS THEY ARE WRONG - THEIR CONSCIENCE IS PRICKED AND THERE IS NO RELIEF ... HENCE THE CYCLE CONTINUES. THE BIRTH OF RELIGION WAS A GUILT COMPLEX!
CONSCIENCE MEANS TO KNOW ONESELF !
YAHUSHA USED THE CONSCIENCE OF THE PHARISEES TO CONDEMN THEMSELVES GUILTY "IE. CAST THE FIRST STONE".
NOT ONE PERSON IS WITHOUT THIS INNER LAW WHICH TELLS RIGHT AND WRONG. IF IT'S WARNINGS ARE IGNORED THEN A PERSON'S CONSCIENCE BECOMES SEERED AND INACTIVE ... USHERING IN EXCUSES INSTEAD.
ONLY YAHUSHA RESTORES THE CONSCIENCE - FOR THIS WAS UNAVAILABLE UNDER THE OLD LAW COVENANT.
3 But these sacrifices actually remind us that we sin again and again, year after year. CONSCIENCE WORKS WITH MEMORY!
THE DAY OF ATONEMENT WAS TO REMIND OF SIN AND PURGE. HOWEVER YAHUSHA SAYS THAT UNDER HIS NEW COVENANT, HE WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE.
4 In the end, the blood of bulls and of goats is powerless to take away sins.
MIKAH CRIED OUT "WILL YAHUAH BE PLEASED WITH 1000'S OF RAMS?"
ALAHIM SAID "THIS IS MY SON IN WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED!"
5 So when Yahusha came into the world He said, "Sacrifices and Offerings were not what You ever wanted, but instead a body that You prepared for Me". METAMORPHOSIS!
ISAIAH 1:10 Hear the word of Yahuah, you rulers of Sodom, listen to the law of our Alahim, you people of Gomorrah. 11To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to me? says Yahuah: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. 12When you come to appear before Me, who has required this at your hand, to tread my courts? 13Bring no more vain oblations, incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. 14Your new moons and your appointed feasts I just hatee: they are a trouble to me; and I am weary to bear them. 15And when you spread forth your hands, I will hide My eyes from you: and when you make many prayers, I will not hear: for your hands are full of blood".
BUT WASN'T ALL THIS HIS IDEA?
THE VERY THINGS HE FIRST COMMANDED BECAME AN ABOMINATION TO HIM !
6 For Ascending-Near (Burnt) Offerings and Purifying-Sin Offerings are not what please You. IT WAS MERELY A SCHOOL-MASTER!
7 Then I said, “See, I have come to do Your will as it's inscribed of Me (the volume of the Book is written of Me).”
ADAM SINNED IN THE BODY GIVEN TO HIM, BUT YAHUSHA DIDN'T - SATAN IS FULL OF "I WILL, I WILL, I WILL" BUT YAHUSHA' WAS ALWAYS "YOUR WILL BE DONE" ...
TEACHING US THE RIGHT BEHAVIOUR TO HAVE !
8 Now when it says that Alahim takes no real pleasure in Sacrifices and Offerings (He doesn’t want them, despite what the Torah Law says),
9 and follows this with “See, I've come to do Your will," He effectively takes away the first order (animal sacrifice) in order to establish the second order, a more perfect sacrifice.
