The Blood Averts Judgment
Yahveh (the Lord), the honored guest, is rarely invited, rarely honored, rarely glorified, He is rarely received for who He is, but the angels cry holy, we cry holy, Holy is Yahveh!
And He says, “You are to be holy to Me, for I Yahveh am holy; and I have set you apart from the peoples to be Mine” (Leviticus 20:26). Holy (Kadosh) means to be separated from this life, separated from this world, and from all religious forms and traditions and doctrines, and from every vestige that is not of Yahveh, who is Holy!
We were created to be in fellowship with the Most High, but our sins have separated us from the Holy One of Israel. We grope and we stumble in darkness. In our vain imaginations we think we are walking side by side with Him, when the majority of the time we are walking in the dim light of our own understanding and the curses that our own understanding brings us.
There was Israel; and in the midst of Israel was a little remnant of righteous ones. His prophets spoke the truth and were alienated, castigated, and set apart to be stoned. His people rejected Him over and over and over again. It was never a majority, but always the smallest minority who accepted the Holy One, His precepts, and loved Him enough to walk in His ways and have fellowship with Him.
A mixed brew foaming with wrath, grief, and judgment is going to overflow its brim shortly. He is sovereign, and the wages of sin brings His judgment and there is nothing to avert it beyond the blood received by humble hearts. His blood cries out on behalf of you and me!
His blood cries out, “I laid My life down for you so that you might have fellowship with My Father, but you have chosen the ways of the world above fellowship with My Father.” Hear the heart of the Father weeping over His creation. Hear the heart of the Father saying, “They have ears, but they never hear, they have eyes but they never see, they have hearts but they don’t receive” (Jeremiah 5:31, Mark 8:18) But mercy continues to be available. He is the Elohim (God) of mercy.
