It looks like there
is going to be some blood vengeance coming up.
Revelation 16:6 For they have
shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given
them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
At the 3rd
vial of wrath, people will be given blood to drink, because
they will have shed the blood of saints and prophets.
Revelation 17:6 And I saw the
woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood
of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with
great admiration.
The great whore,
Babylon, is seen drunken with blood, with the blood of the
saints and the martyrs of Jesus.
Revelation 18:24 And in her was
found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that
were slain upon the earth.
Then in her is found
blood, not only of the prophets and saints, but it says the
blood of all that were slain upon the earth.
That is amazing,
since all that blood wasn’t shed by her, or even in her land.
Yet it all comes
upon her.
If someone thinks
that can’t be done, well it happened once before:
Matthew 23:35 That upon you may
come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the
blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of
Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
Luke 11:50 That the blood of
all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the
world, may be required of this generation;
51 From the blood of Abel
unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar
and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of
this generation.
All the righteous
blood shed on the earth, from Abel, before the flood, until
Israel, when Zacharias was slain between the temple and the
altar, came upon one generation of Jews in 70 A.D.
Abel’s blood wasn’t
shed by a Jew in Jerusalem, nor was it necessarily shed in the
land of Israel.
The LORD can do as
he desires, in applying all that blood to a single generation.
Is it possible that
because the atonement made by Jesus, applied all the way back
to Abel, that generation that slew Jesus, then became
responsible for all the righteous blood, by killing him?
Interesting how it
was from Abel to Zacharias, “A” to “Z”, rather than alpha to
omega, perhaps something that would particularly speak to us
in the last days.
Revelation 19:2 For true and
righteous
are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore,
which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath
avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
Then, in a similar
way, the great whore has the blood of all that were slain upon
the earth.
If America is
Babylon, it would seem right enough, considering that America
has shed the blood of 50 to 60 million unborn children.
However, there may
be more. Perhaps, before it is over, she becomes a great
persecutor of Christians, maybe one of the worst.
None the less,
whatever the reasons are for applying all that blood to the
great whore, it still is going to happen.
How can those in
Babylon then escape the vengeance of blood?
In Israel, under the
law, there was a way to flee from the revenger of blood:
Numbers 35:11 Then ye shall appoint you
cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee
thither, which killeth any person at unawares.
12
And they shall be unto you
cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die
not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
There is a city,
that if the person can reach, they have safe refuge, unless
they are found blood guilty.
19
The revenger of blood himself
shall slay the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay
him.
If the slayer is
found by the revenger of blood, then he is slain by the
revenger of blood, himself.
25 And the congregation shall deliver
the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the
congregation shall restore him to the city of his refuge,
whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of
the high priest, which was anointed with the holy oil.
The person that is
found to be not blood guilty is then allowed to safely remain
in the city of refuge, until the death of the high priest.
Now all of us, until
we are saved, are guilty of the blood of Jesus, because he was
slain bearing our sins.
When we are saved, the
blood of the Lamb of God cleanses us of all sin, and while we
are still here, Christ is our refuge.
However, at the
blessed hope, we go to that place that Jesus promised to
prepare for us.
Is it not that city,
which is now in heaven? (Later, in Revelation 21 that
city comes down from heaven, but now it is in heaven).
Is that heavenly city,
then, to be our city of refuge, where we are safe from
revenger of blood?
We are to remain safe
in the city until the death of the high priest, but our High
Priest abides forever, after the order of Melchisedec, so we
never have to leave!
27
And the revenger of blood find
him without the borders of the city of his refuge, and the
revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of
blood:
However, for the
lost, they are still guilty of the blood of Jesus, and they
cannot reach the city of refuge.
They will therefore
be found by the revenger of blood.
The LORD, himself,
is the revenger of blood, the revenger of the blood of Jesus.
Did the LORD not say
that vengeance is his, that he will repay?
Then there is a
condition that must be met:
30
Whoso killeth any person, the
murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses: but
one witness shall not testify against any person
to cause him to die.
There must be two or
three witnesses in order for the murderer to be put to death:
Deuteronomy 17:6
At the mouth of two witnesses,
or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to
death;
but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to
death.
Two or three
witnesses needed for the death sentence.
Deuteronomy 19:15
¶ One witness shall not rise up
against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin
that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the
mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
Two or three
witnesses needed
John 8:17 It is also written in your
law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18
I am one that bear witness of
myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
The Son and the
Father are two witnesses.
Hebrews 10:15
Whereof
the Holy Ghost also is a
witness to us: for after that he had said before,
The Holy Ghost is
the third witness.
I John 5:7
For there are three that bear
record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost:
and these three are one.
The LORD, himself,
is all three witnesses, necessary for the sentence of death,
the second death.
So, the lost in
Babylon will have nowhere to flee, or to hide, from the
revenger of blood.
They will be found
blood guilty, and will perish.
