Whose blood is sprinkled on the vesture; Is it the blood of the defeated enemy, or Christ's blood as atonement for our sins? I have Zondervan KJV Study Bible. The footnotes indicated that it could have been either. That note only led to confusion on my part.
Revelation 19:13, clearly names Jesus as the Word of God.
The blood of Christ one of the most important doctrinal teachings found in the Word of God. It is through the shedding of Christ's blood that WE can:
Learn of God's and Christ's great love for us
Be declared innocent from our many heinous sins
Be delivered from the eternal wrath of Almighty God
Be brought into communion with a Holy God.
Be saved from eternal death and granted eternal life.
Romans 5:8-10 - "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Much more then, being now justified by his BLOOD, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life."
No wonder His shed blood holds a core position of importance in both the Old Testament and the New Testament, it is the only hope for a person's salvation, receipt of other spiritual blessings and eternal security with Him.
Sadly, many today will minimize the importance of the death and shed blood of Christ. It has been done throughout NT times and will continue to be done until Christ comes again. Anytime that we minimize what Christ has done for us (whether by word or action) after we have mentally received the truth about its importance, it is a sign of a lost condition and increased responsibility at the final judgment.
