YHWH says that the life-force of a physical life-form resides within the blood. In order to prove that Y‘shua
was actually the prophetic Passover lamb, it must be proven that he bled to death.
The shedding of blood:(19) ―For when Moses had spoken every precept 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, and all the
people [making a blood contract],
(20) Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God has enjoined unto you.
(21) Moreover he sprinkled likewise with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry
[setting them apart by the sacrifice of blood].
(22) And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no
remission [no forgiveness]". (Heb 9:19-22 KJV – Also read verses 23-28)
Y‟shua's shed blood:Scriptures in both the Old and New Covenant, which state that without the shedding of blood there is no
forgiveness of sin, are very clear. If Y‘shua died of heart failure due to mental stress, suffocation, or any
cause other than the shedding of his life's blood, we have no Saviour or forgiveness of sin.
―It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the
heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these". (Heb 9: 23)
Physical things can be purified with physical things (i.e., the blood of animals). However, spiritual things must
be purified with spiritual things. Therefore, Y‘shua was a better sacrifice than animals because, besides
being a physical man, He was also spiritual (i.e., the Son of YHWH).
(24) ―For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but
into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:
(25) Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest enters into the holy place every year with
blood of others;
(26) For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of
the world [end of this age] has he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself".
(27) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
(28) So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear
the second time without sin unto salvation". (Heb 9:24-28)
It is very important to note that without the shedding of blood, there is no remission or forgiveness of sin; and
that all of the sacrifices for the atonement of sin before the advent of Y‘shua were blood sacrifices.
To cover or to forgive:Although animal sacrifices before Y‘shua‘s sacrifice were also blood sacrifices, they were not perfect in the
eyes of YHWH. Animal sacrifices could only temporarily cover a sin, set it aside and hide it from God's view.
Such sacrifices could never render forgiveness for sin because they did not equal the value of the sinner's
life. Therefore, the penalty was not paid; it was merely delayed for a time.
(1) ―For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can
never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereto perfect.
(2) For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshipers once purged
should have had no more conscience of sins.
(3) But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
(4) For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins". (Heb 10:1-4 KJV)
These animal sacrifices were meant to be a shadow of things to come; they pointed toward Y‘shua and His
ultimate sacrifice that was able to render forgiveness of sin:
(5) ―Wherefore when he [Y‘shua] comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering you would not,
but a body have you prepared me:
(6) In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you have had no pleasure.
(7) Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do your will, O God.
(8) Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin you would not,
neither had pleasure therein; which are offered by the law.
