Exodus 24:6-8: And Moses took half of the blood and put it in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar. And he took the book of the covenant and read in the audience of the people: and they said: All that Yehovah has said will we do and be obedient. And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which Yehovah has made with you concerning all these words.
Moses was at that time ratifying - placing the people of Israel under the OLD COVENANT before Yehovah.
Hebrews 9:11-28: Now Messiah has appeared as the high priest of the good things to come. He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this present creation, and he entered once for all into the Most Holy Place, not through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood [as a sin-offering sacrifice], and in doing so he secured the redemption of the age to come. For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled, consecrated for outward, ritual purity, how much more will the blood [sin-offering sacrifice] of Messiah, who through the spirit of the age to come offered himself [as a sin-offering sacrifice] without defect to God, purify our consciences from dead works to serve the living God - Yehovah!
So then HE IS THE MEDIATOR OF A NEW COVENANT, so that those who have been invited may receive the promised inheritance of the age to come, since a death has taken place for deliverance from violations committed under the OLD COVENANT. For where there is a covenant, there must be proven the death of the one who made it. For a covenant is valid at death, and it is not in force while the one who made it lives. So even the FIRST COVENANT was ratified with blood. For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, saying: “This is the blood of THE COVENANT [OLD COVENANT] which God - Yehovah commanded you to obey.” And in the same way he sprinkled with the blood both the tabernacle and all the things used in worship. According to the Law, nearly everything was purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
It was necessary therefore for the sketches of the things in the heavens to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves required better sacrifices than these. For the Messiah did not enter a holy place made with hands, which is a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God - Yehovah for us. And he did not need to offer himself often, the way the high priest enters the holy place year after year with blood not his own, for then he would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the culmination of the ages, he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself [as a sin-offering sacrifice - i.e., as a sacrificial person. God - Yehovah had determined this role for the Messiah] Just as it is appointed for people to die once, and after this comes judgment, so Messiah also, having been offered once [as a sin-offering sacrifice] to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are eagerly waiting for him.
When Jesus was crucified, his shed blood – as a sin-offering sacrifice was the ratification of the NEW COVENANT that all those who are his are under! The NEW COVENANT is sealed by the blood [sin-offering sacrifice] of God's – Yehovah’s anointed one!
Matthew 26:26-28: While they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it and gave it to the disciples. “Take and eat this. It is my body,” Jesus said. Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them. “Drink from it, all of you,” he said to them. “This is my blood which ratifies the [NEW] COVENANT, [That is, the blood necessary for ratifying, bringing into force, the NEW COVENANT, based on all Jesus’ words.] poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. [The suffering servant and his death is the basis for this teaching, Isaiah. 53:12 - So I will give him - Yeshua a share among the mighty, and he will divide the prize with the strong, because he poured out his life (as a sin-offering sacrifice) in death and he was counted with sinners. He carried the sins of many. He intercedes for those who are rebellious.]
Acts 20:28: “Be alert for yourselves and for all the flock, in which the holy spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He acquired with the blood [the sin-offering sacrifice] of His own Son.
Hebrews 12:21-25: You have come to Mount Zion, the city of the living God - Yehovah, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to multitudes of angels, to the called-out assembly of the firstborn who are recorded in heaven, and to God - Yehovah, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the upright made perfect, and to Jesus - Yeshua, THE MEDIATOR OF A NEW COVENANT, and to the sprinkled blood [a sin-offering sacrifice] that speaks of something better than the blood of Abel did. See that you do not refuse the One - Yehovah who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused the one who warned them on the earth, how much less will we if we reject the One who warns from heaven?
Ephesians 1:3-9: Blessed be the God and Father of our lord Jesus Messiah. He - Yehovah is the One who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Messiah. For He - Yehovah chose us in him before the foundation of the ages [This means that all believers were included in the divine plan from the beginning, according to Yehovah’s foreknowledge], to be holy and unblemished before Him - Yehovah. In love, He marked us out beforehand to be His sons and daughters through Jesus – Yeshua the Messiah, according to the good purpose of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely gave us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, [that is, through his sin-offering sacrificial death in our place and on our behalf (Mark 10:45: For even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom in place of many). Salvation is also through obeying Jesus (Hebrews 5:9: Having been perfected, he became to all of those who obey him the source of the salvation of the age to come)], the forgiveness of our sins, according to the riches of His grace, which He - Yehovah kindly lavished on us. In all wisdom and understanding He made known to us the revealed secret of His will, [the unfolding knowledge of His Kingdom Plan] according to His purpose which He designed in him - Yeshua, as His plan for the time of fulfillment; to make the Messiah head of everything in heaven and on earth.
Colossians 1:19-20: For God - Yehovah was pleased to have all His fullness live in him, [Note that the same language about “the fullness of God - Yehovah” is applicable to believers also in Ephesians3:19: and to know the love of the Messiah which surpasses knowledge, so that you will be filled with all the fullness of God – Yehovah, also Colossians 2:9: “all the fullness of God – Yehovah dwells” in Jesus - Yeshua, is parallel to the idea expressed by Paul here that the followers of the lord Messiah Jesus are also to be filled with the fullness of God - Yehovah], and through him - Yeshua to reconcile all things to Himself - Yehovah by making peace through the blood [sin-offering sacrifice] on the cross; through him, whether things on earth or in heaven.Hebrews 10:28-31: Anyone who disregarded Moses’ Law was put to death without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much greater punishment do you think a person deserves who treads under foot the Son of God, and profanes the blood of the covenant by which he was made holy, and insults the spirit of grace? For we know Him who said: “Vengeance belongs to Me; I will repay,” and again: “Yehovah will judge His people.” It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God - Yehovah.
1 John 1:7: But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood [sin-offering sacrifice] of Jesus - Yeshua, His Son, purifies us from all sin,
Revelation 1:5: Grace and peace to you from Him - Yehovah who is, who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits - angels before His throne, and from Jesus the Messiah, the faithful witness, the firstborn from among the dead, the ruler over the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and freed us from our sins by his blood [sin-offering sacrifice], and has assigned us a Kingdom, as priests to his God and Father - Yehovah to Him be the glory and the power to the ages of the ages. Amen.
Do you see brethren all that the shed blood [sin-offering sacrifice] of God's anointed one Jesus - Yeshua has given to us: We are bought and paid for by the blood [sin-offering sacrifice] of Jesus - Yeshua and yet he calls us brothers and sisters. By his shed blood [sin-offering sacrifice] the NEW COVENANT has been ratified, and we are to live under it, obeying all it’s precepts. Jesus - Yeshua explains how to do so in all he has outlined for us to do. The first is to follow the creed of Jesus – Yeshua found in:
Mark 12:28-34: One of the religious teachers came and heard them arguing and recognized that Jesus - Yeshua had given them a good answer. So, he asked Jesus, “What commandment is the most important of all?” Jesus replied:
“The most important commandment is: ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord - Yehovah our God is one Lord - Adonai. Love the Lord – Yehovah your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’
The second is: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no more important commandment than these.”
The religious teacher replied: “You are right, teacher. It is true as you said that God - Yehovah is one Person, and there is no other besides Him, and we are to love Him with all our heart, all our mind, and all our strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. That is far more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.” Jesus, seeing that he had given an intelligent answer, said: “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.”
The followers of the lord Messiah Jesus are to live out the Beatitudes and the Sermon on the Mount in their lives. Realize that if we do not live according to the testimony - words of the lord Messiah Jesus – Yeshua and keep his commandment we have no part in him. He requires that we obey him in order to have salvation, even as James said, "faith without works is dead".
James 16-18: Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers and sisters. Every good act of giving and every perfect gift is from above [The very Jewish idiom “coming down from heaven” simply means that something is a gift from God - Yehovah] , and comes down from the Father of lights, who is without change or turning shadow. He gave birth to us by the Gospel-word of truth - [Rebirth as described by all the NT writers is initiated by belief in the seed message of Jesus’ Gospel of the Kingdom, as demonstrated by him in the parable of the Sower:
(Matthew. 13:19: When someone hears the Gospel-word about the Kingdom, and does not understand it, then the Evil One comes and snatches away what was sown in his mind. This is what happens to the seeds sown on the road;
Luke 8:11-15: The seed is the Gospel-word of God. The seeds on the path are like those who listen, but then the Devil comes - Reminding us of Satan’s constant policy of obstructing the progress of the Gospel of the Kingdom at every opportunity] and takes away the Gospel-word from their minds, so that they do not believe it and so are not saved - [salvation is conditioned on an intelligent reception of the Gospel of the Kingdom, the word of the Kingdom] The seeds on the rocky soil are those who listen and receive the Gospel-word with joy, but they do not have any roots. They believe for a while - [Showing that the popular belief in “once saved always saved” is false to the teaching of Jesus. Paul warned believers that if we do not remain faithful, we will be cut off (Romans 11:21-22)] but when difficult times come, they give up. The seeds that fell among thorns are those who listen, but they are choked by life’s worries, wealth, and pleasure, and they produce no fruit. But the seeds in the good soil are the ones who listen to the Gospel-word with an honest and good heart. They hold onto it and produce fruit with perseverance.
1 Peter 1:23-25: You have been born again, [Rebirth and conversion must of course happen now. Immortality is to be gained fully at the return of Jesus (Like 14:14).] not from perishable seed, but from an imperishable seed; the Gospel-word of God, [The word/Gospel of the Kingdom (Matthew 13:19) as preached by Jesus - Yeshua is the essential seed of rebirth, containing the seed of immortality (Luke 8:11). The essential saving content of the Gospel is the Kingdom of God as preached as gospel by Jesus (Hebrews 2:3) and Paul and all NT writers.], which is living and lasting. For “All humanity is like grass, and all of their glory like wildflowers. Grass withers and flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the word which was preached as Gospel to you. [According to God’s – Yehovah’s own plan, so that we would be the first fruits of His new creation].
Notice: Hebrews 5:8-9: Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through the things which he suffered. Having been perfected, he became to all of those who obey him [Obedience to Jesus - Yeshua is invariably the condition of salvation. Faith without obedience is false faith and cannot save] the source of the salvation of the age to come, [Of the future Kingdom of God on earth.] having been designated by God a high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
John 3:34-36: For the one whom God - Yehovah sent as His agent speaks the words of God, for he does not give out the spirit by measure. The Father loves the Son and has given him power over everything. The person who believes in the Son has the Life of the Age to Come [in the coming Kingdom of God where those who enter as glorified immortal men and women will co-rule with the lord Messiah Jesus] The one who refuses to obey the Son [Salvation is given only to those who obey the Son (Hebrews 5:9; 1 Timothy 6:3; 2 John. 7-9; John 12:44] will not see that life. Rather, the righteous fury of God hangs over him.” [That is, threatening with destruction unless he/she responds by repenting and believing the Gospel of the Kingdom as preached by Jesus and every NT writer (Mark 1:14-15; Acts 8:12]
John 6:63: It is the spirit which gives life; the flesh gains you nothing. The words which I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.
John 14:10: Do you not believe that I am in the Father - Yehovah and the Father - Yehovah is in me? The words I speak to you I do not speak on my own initiative. The Father - Yehovah who lives in me is doing His works through me. Believe me, that I am in the Father - Yehovah and the Father - Yehovah is in me. [The same unity is the ideal for all believers who are to be of one mind and purpose with the Father - Yehovah and Son (John 17:11: I am to be no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name which You have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one., vs. 22-23: I promise to give them the same glory which you have given me. I want them all to be one, just as we are one: I in them and You in me, so that they may be brought to maturity as one - united, that the world may come to know that You commissioned me and that You loved them just as You loved me.)
The word we are to obey are the words the Father gave Jesus to give to us. Obey them!
