Please, we have to clearly understand the history of blood sacrifices. Long, long, long before Moses was even born, human and animal blood sacrifices were going on worldwide. Primitive man found it very, very difficult, even impossible to believe that salvation, divine favor, or any serious divine intervention can occur without him paying a very hefty price for it. And to him, that very hefty price of very great value has to be something physically tangible. And what better hefty price to pay than his own first-born son? In some communities around the world, the hefty price was their little babies, little children, or slaves.
That's why, all over the world, primitive peoples practiced human blood sacrifices. They couldn't believe that a sincere heart of repentance that seeks to walk in love is good enough.
The senseless killings of their fellow human beings continued until gradually, they made a leap of faith to replace humans with another high valued commodity - their highly valued animals. God and his angels helped them to make this leap. At least, it was better than human sacrifices. Please, this should not be interpreted to mean that God needs blood. No, he does not. All he needs is for you to have faith in him, in his goodness, and in his love. Faith and faith alone. His grace is already available. Just have faith, living faith! But man found it extremely difficult to run. So, holy angels helped him to crawl.
The angels of the churches are in charge of the religious life of human beings. These angels, together with the angels of progress, guided primitive man to evolve from human blood sacrifices to animal blood sacrifices. These angels were involved in the delivery of the law of Moses. Even before Moses was born, the law was already in place in different communities all over the world. The law was a religious code of conduct that people practiced worldwide. The Hebrews were not the first to get the law - the religious codes of conduct.
Now, please understand that even though godly, loyal angels helped man to create "the law," they did not literally write down everything for man. They simply led or guided man to come up with something he could work with, based on his level of understanding. The Spirit does not force. The Spirit leads and guides.
This means the law was bound to contain some things that were not in line with the divine love of God because of the level of intelligence and spirituality of the men and women who put it together. Also, you have to factor in interference from rebel spirits, demons, pretending to be angels of love and light. In assisting us, holy angels do not write down everything for us. They will tell us some things and lead or guide us to some things, but ultimately, we have to evolve through EXPERIENCE to arrive at greater revelations. This takes time.
The real, final destination was the total abandonment of blood sacrifices altogether. But back then, it was too big of a leap to get primitive minded man to abandon blood sacrifices altogether. This was why he was nudged to replace human blood sacrifices with animal blood sacrifices. That was simply the next practical step for most humans to take back then.
While all those gruesome blood sacrifices were going on, God continued to send teachers, prophets, more enlightened men and women to teach mankind, worldwide, to help him evolve, grow, become more intelligent and more spiritually minded, little by little. And then, as a result, to abandon blood sacrifices altogether, totally and completely BECAUSE GOD DOES NOT NEED BLOOD.
This explains why Melchizedek of Salem never practiced blood sacrifices. He had a system of worship in place. He had many students or members. Abraham was one of them. He sent out missionaries worldwide. In helping man to evolve, Melchizedek brought in the sacrament of bread and wine TO REPLACE the sacrament of flesh and blood. A very, very big tipping point came when Christ incarnated as Jesus. His life and teachings clarified everything, answered the puzzle, and sealed the icing on the cake. And if you pay close attention, you will see that Jesus, just like Melchizedek, used bread and wine, NOT flesh and blood. ❤️
God does not need blood because his infinite love is so, so, so powerful to transform a soul that opens up to it. His love can also easily break the yoke of sin or the grip of evil, sin, and iniquity. His love, his divine presence, and his holy spiritual anointing oil are so, so, so enriching, enlightening, and empowering to save, to heal, to deliver, and to lift you up. Father God does not need blood in the equation.
Psalm 51:16-17, “For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it; You do not delight in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, A broken and a contrite heart - These, O God, You will not despise.”
To progress, 😇✨
In love and light! 🤍🎇
