This portion of the article will speak to sacrifice.  Why did Father YHWH tell Abraham to go and sacrifice his son?

Gen 22:1  And it happened after these things, testing Abraham, God said to him, Abraham! And he said, Behold me. 
Gen 22:2  And He said, Now take your son, Isaac, your only one whom you love, and go into the land of Moriah. And there offer him for a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will say to you. 

Why did Noah sacrifice after the flood?

Gen 8:20  And Noah built an altar to Jehovah, and took of every clean animal, and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 

Who made the first sacrifice?

Gen 3:21  And Jehovah God made coats of skin for the man and his wife, and clothed them. 

Why all this blood?

Gen_9:4  But you shall not eat flesh in its life, its blood. 

and this:

Rom_3:25  Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 
1Jn_2:2  And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 
1Jn_4:10  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 

So the giving of life for the propitiation of our sin.

What does this word propituation mean?  That is kind of hard to find out in English because it is a latin word.  but lets look at thethe meaning of the original latin word to find it

:

late 14c., from Late Latin propitiationem (nominative propitiatio) ”anatonement,” noun of action from past participle stem of Latin propitiare“appease, propitiate,” from propitius “favorable, gracious, kind, well-disposed,” from pro- “forward” (see pro- ) + stem related to petere “tomake for, go to; seek, strive after; ask for, beg, beseech, request” (seepetition (n.)).

The above is from dictionary.com so its an action, or a verb but its a noun.  Its something special for sure, something not very often spoken of or we would have a better more modern word for it.  but look at the words we are familiar with in this description of this word.  appease. favorable gracious kind , well disposed, forward to make for go to see after ask for beg beseech.  for what?

FORGIVENESS OF SIN.

Father cannot for some reason we may not be able to understand or see of know,cannot forgive sin without this shedding of blood.  Maybe if we look at what the sin was , what happened we can see what this is better.  Lets go back to the beginning of sin.  The garden.

Gen 3:2  And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, 
Gen 3:3  but of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, You shall not eat of it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die. 

So this “tree” in the garden was a rule of not touching.  So much of the truth of this story has been covered up by language.  But lets just accept that Adam and Eve sinned by disobeying “the rules” set forth by the Creator of this garden, the One entity who has the right to make the rules and the ability to enforce those rules.  So did these two “get away” with the breaking of the rules?  No not really, something happened to them that changed them and their lives forever.

Gen 3:7  And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed leaves of the fig tree, and made girdles for themselves. 

Something about this event was bigger that just apple eating. This effected them , they were changed, they recieved the knowledge to know they were NAKED.    Have you ever had that dream?  The one where you are naked in a group of people and they all are wearing clothes?  Even in dream what we feel is SHAME.  These two had an awful feeling of SHAME OF THEIR SIN OF BEING NAKED.  Before this event, they had no SHAME.  But afterward, they KNEW THEY WERE NAKED AND THEY WERE SO ASHAMED OF IT, THEY TRIED TO HIDE IT FROM WHO?  The Creator that made them and put them in the garden.  And what did He do?  He killed some kind of animal, we think a sheep and made a covering for them to cover their shame.  Was that all?  No it wasn’t.

Gen 3:13  And Jehovah God said to the woman, What is this you have done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate. 
Gen 3:14  And Jehovah God said to the serpent, Because you have done this, you are cursed above all beasts, and above every animal of the field. You shall go on your belly, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. 
Gen 3:15  And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He will bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel. 
Gen 3:16  He said to the woman, I will greatly increase your sorrow and your conception; you shall bear sons in sorrow, and your desire shall be toward your husband; and he shall rule over you. 
Gen 3:17  And He said to the man, Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree about which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat from it, the ground shall be cursed because of you; you shall eat of it in sorrow all the days of your life. 
Gen 3:18  And it shall bring forth thorns and thistles for you, and you shall eat the plant of the field. 
Gen 3:19  By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread until your return to the ground. For you have been taken out of it; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return. 
Gen 3:20  And the man called the name of his wife, Eve; because she became the mother of all living. 
Gen 3:21  And Jehovah God made coats of skin for the man and his wife, and clothed them. 
Gen 3:22  And Jehovah God said, Behold! The man has become as one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put forth his hand and also take from the Tree of Life, and eat, and live forever, 
Gen 3:23  Jehovah God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground out of which he was taken. 
Gen 3:24  And He drove the man out. And He lodged the cherubs at the east of the Garden of Eden, and the flaming sword whirling around to guard the way of the Tree of Life. 

Because of the breaking of the laws or rules that these two were given a curse came on them, on the snake, and a protection of this other TREE OF LIFE  was put up.

I think this story is not told to us literally.  I think that what happened here is actually hidden.  Why?  Because of what happens in the rest of the story. This part of it comes to pass:

 I will greatly increase your sorrow and your conception; you shall bear sons in sorrow, and your desire shall be toward your husband; and he shall rule over you. 

 

She did bear two sons one of which is killed by the other one and one other strange hint is given in the Word.

Here it is:

Gen 5:1  This is the book of the generations of Adam: In the day that God created man. He made him in the likeness of God. 
Gen 5:2  He created them male and female, and blessed them, and called their name Adam in the day when they were created. 
Gen 5:3  And Adam lived one hundred and thirty years and fathered a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and called his name Seth. 
Gen 5:4  And the days of Adam after he fathered Seth were eight hundred years. And he fathered sons and daughters. 

So … where is CAIN in this geneology?  What does this mean? His missing name?  It means that he was never the son of ADAM and the TREE was not the kind of tree we think of as a tree and they were not eating apples, this is something hidden from us for a reason, for the shame of it.  Why would YHWH give these curses about Eve’s SEED?  Because it was HER SEED  that was involved in this sin… or the:

CREATION OF HER SEED.  CAIN.

The frist murderer.  What they did in the garden with that snake led to something that was worse that breaking a rule.  It was the first murder of a man.  The curse of breaking the rules and adding knowledge brought about something bigger and worse to not just them, but to us all.  

This is not somthing that I can just teach everyone who is reading this.  Only Father can give you complete understanding of it and you must dig and seek and believe Him when He shows you, or you can stay in Sunday school for the rest of your days.  Its up to you.

But because sin led to this murder and the blood of this man Able being spilled:

WE NEED PROPITIATION

BLOOD HAS TO BE SHED TO MAKE UP FOR THIS AND ALL BLOOD SHED THROUGH DISOBEDIANCE TO YHWH’S RULES.

There are a few I expect to have the usual comments from on this, but there are some that will see this, maybe for the first time.  I pray that it is so.  But know this, the adversaries of YHWH were taking mens lives in sacrifice in every religion and their rites all over the world.  Father wanted to know that ABRAHAM  would give that son that Father had given him.  But at the last moment He sent a substitute sacrifice.  Just as Noah had sacrificed to YHWH, Abraham did also with the ram that YHWH put in the place of sacrifice for them.  Just as YHWH gave us His son for a sacrifice for us, and put in in our place.  

OUR PROPITIATION.

Father didn’t create this bloody religion.  Men and their gods did. YHWH only was covering the NAKEDNESS OR KNOWLEDGE OF MEN AND WOMEN  OUT OF LOVE FOR THEM.  

But something did have to shed its blood in order for that to come to pass.

I pray that some of you will begin to dig into this and search for the truth.  I pray that the rest will not sin in their lack of understanding .
