The Power of the Blood we follow the Scarlet Thread, the Crimson Flow who the scriptures of the Holy Bible AV 1611 as they trace the blood sacrifice from Genesis through to Revelation. Modern English versions and even modern theological teaching tends to downgrade the power of the blood and focus only on the death of our Lord Jesus Christ, The Lamb of God.

2.  Modern Bibles today tend to diminish the
power of the blood
 Many modern “scribes” suggest that the blood
was merely a man’s blood and that the focus is
on the death not the blood
 The Holy Bible, AV 1611, there is true witness
to the power of the blood from beginning to
end

3. What the Scriptures Teach about THE
BLOOD

4.  Hebrews 9:7 But into the second went the high
priest alone once every year, not without
blood, which he offered for himself, and for the
errors of the people:

5.  Hebrews 9:18 Whereupon neither the first
testament was dedicated without blood.

6.  The importance of treating the Bible as a
whole.
 The whole Bible reveals to us what is actually
the HEART OF GOD.

7.  we begin to discover what the foundation
truths of the Bible are and what should
demand our attention.
 By looking at the whole Bible we find what
remains unchanged in spite of any
dispensational changes.

8.  the GLORIOUS POWER OF THE BLOOD OF
JESUS
 and the wonderful blessings that this blood
has brought us.

9.  THE BLOOD IS THE POWER OF
REDEMPTION and you will see this as we
follow through the Bible from the beginning to
the end of God’s revelation of Himself to man
as recorded in the Bible.

10.  Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the
blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar
to make an atonement for your souls: for it is
the blood that maketh an atonement for the
soul.

11.  that there is no scriptural idea from Genesis to
Revelations more consistently and
prominently kept before us than the words
“THE BLOOD.”

12.  A Fountain Opened to the House of David
 a fountain filled with blood drawn from
Emanuel’s veins
 Zechariah 13:1 In that day there shall be a
fountain opened to the house of David and to
the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for
uncleanness.

13.  teach us about THE BLOOD
 1 In the Old Testament
 2 In the Teachings of Jesus Christ Himself
 3 in what the Apostles Teach
 4 in what the Revelation Teaches

14.  THE BLOOD begins right at Eden
 The first covering that God makes for man is
not by vegetation but by the shedding of blood
to provide a sheepskin.
 BLOOD IS SHED

15.  BLOOD is the centre of the first act of true
worship
 Abel brings the lambs of his flock to the Lord
as a sacrifice and this is the first act of
acceptable worship recorded in the Bible.

16.  In this first act of true worship blood is
initiated:
 Genesis 4:4 And Abel, he also brought of the
firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof.
And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to
his offering:

17.  By faith Abel offered unto God a more
excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he
obtained witness that he was righteous, God
testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead
yet speaketh.

18.  By faith Abel offers an acceptable sacrifice
 and the Bible calls him a believer.
 He has the record that he “pleased God.”
 His faith and God’s good pleasure in him are
connected with the SHEDDING OF BLOOD in
sacrifice of the lamb.

19.  This sets the foundation that will be seen over
and over again from the beginning of the
history of mankind throughout the scriptures.
 The deep significance that there can be no
approach to God, no fellowship with him by
faith, no enjoyment of his favour, apart from
THE BLOOD.

20.  and we come to The Flood, which was God’s
judgement on sin by the destruction of the
world of mankind.

21.  from that awful baptism of water.
 Also note that although born out of the
baptism of water there has to be a baptism
with blood.
 the first recorded act of Noah, after he had left
the Ark, was the offering of a burnt sacrifice to
God.

22.  As with Abel, so with Noah at a new
beginning, it was “NOT WITHOUT BLOOD.”

23.  and God laid an entirely new foundation with
the establishment of his kingdom on earth but
it is still established with the SHEDDING OF
BLOOD in a sacrifice made by faith.

24.  and in the miraculous birth of Isaac, God
undertook to form a people to serve him.
 But this purpose is not brought about apart
from the shedding of THE BLOOD.
 This is seen in the most trying hour of
Abraham’s life.

25.  God had already entered into a covenant
relationship with Abraham .
 His faith had already been severely tried and
had stood the test.
 It was reckoned or counted unto him for
righteousness.

26.  the son of promise, who belonged wholly to
God can be truly surrendered to God only by
death – by the SHEDDING OF BLOOD.

27.  For Abraham, as well as for Isaac, only by
death could freedom from the self life be
gained.

28.  Abraham must offer Isaac on the altar and be
prepared to SHED BLOOD.
 This is the revelation of the Divine truth.
 That it is only through death that a life can be
truly consecrated to God.

29.  and the SHEDDING OF BLOOD
 But you can see that his life was spared and a
ram was offered in his place.

30.  Through the blood that then flowed on Mount
Moriah his life is spared.
 He and the people which sprang from him live
before God “NOT WITHOUT BLOOD.”

31.  he was in a figure raised again from the dead.
 The great lesson substitution is here clearly
taught yet again.

32.  and Isaac has become, in Egypt, the people of
Israel.
 Through deliverance from Egyptian bondage
Israel was to be recognised as God’s firstborn
among the nations.

33.  Neither the electing grace of God, nor his
covenant with Abraham, nor the exercise of his
power, which could so easily have destroyed
their oppressors, could do away with the
necessity of THE BLOOD.

34.  What THE BLOOD accomplished in Mount
Moriah for one person, who was the father of
the nation, must now be experienced by that
very nation.
 By the sprinkling of the door frames of the
Israelites with the BLOOD of the Passover
Lamb.

35.  as an enduring ordinance was with the words
“when I see the BLOOD I will pass over you.”
 The people were taught that life can be
obtained only by the death of the substitute.
 NOT WITHOUT BLOOD

36.  Life was possible for them only through THE
BLOOD of life given in their place and
appropriated by the sprinkling of that blood.

37.  50 days later this lesson was reinforced
 Israel had reached Mount Sinai.
 God had given His Law as the foundation of
his Covenant.
 This covenant must now be established, but as
it is expressly stated in

38.  But into the second went the high priest alone
once every year, not without blood, which he
offered for himself, and for the errors of the
people:

39.  the sacrificial BLOOD must be sprinkled, first
on the altar, and then on the book of the
covenant, representing God’s side of that
covenant; then on the people, with the
declaration, “this is THE BLOOD OF THE
COVENANT.

40.  And Moses wrote all the words of the LORD,
and rose up early in the morning, and builded
an altar under the hill, and twelve pillars,
according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 And
he sent young men of the children of Israel,
which offered burnt offerings, and sacrificed
peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.

41.  6 And Moses took half of the blood, and put it
in basons; and half of the blood he sprinkled on
the altar. 7 And he took the book of the
covenant, and read in the audience of the
people: and they said, All that the LORD hath
said will we do, and be obedient.

42.  8 And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it
on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the
covenant, which the LORD hath made with
you concerning all these words.

43.  the Covenant had its foundation and power.
 It is by THE BLOOD alone, that God and man
can be brought into covenant Fellowship.

44.  in Eden, on Mount Ararat, on Mount Moriah
and in Egypt was now confirmed at the foot of
Mount Sinai in a most solemn manner.
 Without BLOOD THERE COULD BE NO
ACCESS BY SINFUL MAN TO A HOLY GOD.

45.  the manner of applying the blood in the former
cases as compared with this.
 At Moriah the life was redeemed by the shedding
of the blood.
 In Egypt it was sprinkled on the doorposts of the
houses; but in Mount Saini it was sprinkled on the
people themselves.
 The contact was closer, the application all-
powerful.

46.  Immediately after the establishment of the
covenant the command was given “let them
make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among
them”
 Exodus 25:8 And let them make me a
sanctuary; that I may dwell among them.

47.  They were to enjoy the full blessedness of
having the God of the covenant abiding among
them.
 Through his grace they may find him and serve
him in his house.

48.  He, himself, gave, with the minutest care,
directions for the arrangement and service of
that house.
 But notice that THE BLOOD is at the centre
and the reason of all this.
 Let’s look at our Heavenly King and his
earthly temple for a moment.

49.  ALTAR OF BURNT OFFERING where the
sprinkling of blood continues, without ceasing,
from morning till evening.

50.  and the most conspicuous thing is the golden
altar of incense, which also, together with the
veil, are constantly sprinkled with the
BLOOD.

51.  Ask about what lies beyond the Holy Place
and you will find out that it is the MOST
HOLY PLACE where God himself dwells.
 If you ask how he dwells there and how he is
approached you will be told simply “NOT
WITHOUT BLOOD.”

52.  The golden throne where his glory shines is,
itself, sprinkled with THE BLOOD once every
year when the HIGH PRIEST ALONE ENTERS
TO BRING IN THE BLOOD and to worship
God.
 The highest act in that worship is the
sprinkling of THE BLOOD.

53.  If you dig into this a little further you will be
told that always, and for everything, THE
BLOOD is the one thing that is needful.
 NOT WITHOUT BLOOD

54.  House of Worship, or the Priests: at the birth
of a child, in the deepest sorrow on account of
sin, in the light of the festival, always, and in
everything, the way to fellowship with God is
through THE BLOOD alone.

55.  At Sinai, in the desert, at Shiloh, in the Temple
on Mount Moriah, at Jerusalem, this continued
right up until the Lord Jesus came to make an
end of all shadows by bringing in the
substance, and so establishing a fellowship
with the Holy One in the Spirit of Truth.

power of the blood

BLOOD

58.  WHAT OUR LORD JESUS TEACHES US
ABOUT THE BLOOD
 With his coming all the old things are passed
away and all things become new.
 Hebrews 8:13 In that he saith, A new
covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that

as filling the double office as “the Lamb of God
that taketh away the sin of the world” and
then as “the one who would baptised with the
Holy Spirit.”

61.  the BLOOD of the Lamb of God is to be poured
out

about THE BLOOD has been fulfilled can the

71.  The fundamental fact that he himself, as the
son of the father, who came to restore to us our
lost life, can do this in no other way than by
dying for us; by shedding his blood for us; and
then making us partakers of its power.

live only through the death of another and that
he has obtained a life through resurrection to
immortality.
 NOT WITHOUT BLOOD

has purchased for us, save by the shedding of
his BLOOD, and causing us to drink it.

be ours.

thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

75.  there is no remission of sins.
 This is the REFORMATION
 Hebrews 9:10 Which stood only in meats and
drinks, and divers washings, and carnal
ordinances, imposed on them until the time of
reformation.

obtained a new life for us.

77.  By what he calls “the drinking of his blood.”
 He shares his life with us.

from sin, the guilt of sin: and from death, the
punishment of sin; the blood, which by faith
we drink, bestows on us his life.
