"the pattern for the blood"


Revelation 19:13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

 

(That eternal life in God’s own blood, couldn’t have ended when it was shed, because it is eternal.
Did the blood lose its power after it was shed? No, it cleanses from sin unto this present day.
As seen in Luke 24:39, that when Jesus appeared to his disciples after the resurrection, his blood was no longer in his body.
So, where is Jesus’ blood, God’s own blood, with eternal life in it, that still cleanses from sin unto this very day?
Is it dried up, coagulated, and eaten by bacteria in the ground?   Did it dry up and blow away as millions of particles, to simply end up on the ground?.
So, where is Jesus’ blood?
What about the pattern?)

 

Hebrews 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

 

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

 

Neither the first testament was dedicated without blood – does the word, “neither”, imply so also the second?
If so, then if the “pattern of the heavenly” was purified by blood, then what about the heavenly, itself?)

 

Hebrews 9:9 Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; 
  18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.
  23 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.

 

(So, what better sacrifice would purify the heavenly, but the very blood of Jesus?
The pattern, on earth, had the blood of bulls and goats brought into it, even placed on the mercy seat on the day of atonement.
So, was that a pattern of the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, and where his blood was brought once into the heavenly, on that mercy seat?)

 

Hebrews 9:25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
  12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
  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:

 

(It says that, “by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place” – does it really mean that, or it is merely symbolic?
Some may wonder how he could gather up that blood and bring it to heaven?
At the blessed hope, Jesus gathers all the saints of the church age, no matter how broken and scattered their bones may have been, over the past two thousand years.
At the creation, he gathered together trillions of pieces of dust to form Adam with.
Why would it seem incredible for Jesus to gather together all that precious shed blood of his, to bring it into the heavenly?
So, now, when it says:)

 

Hebrews 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,

 

(It cannot be talking about the temple on earth, which only the high priest could enter, but was also destroyed in 70 AD.
It must be talking about us entering the holiest in the heavenly.
But, how does it say that we are to enter? By the blood of Jesus.
How can we do that, unless his blood is already there, making a way for us?
So, for the pattern on earth, inside the ark was the law that condemned because of sin.
But above the ark, was a seat of gold, and above that, the presence of the LORD.
For the LORD to look down and see the law, the condemnation was just and righteous.
But the LORD called to have blood placed upon that seat on the day of atonement.
That may be why it is called the mercy seat, as the LORD would see the blood, instead of the condemnation of the law.
How much more, now, in the heavenly, for those of us who are saved, the LORD only sees the blood instead of the law?
Eternal mercy, the precious blood of the Lamb covers that seat, and forever is seen, rather than the law.)

 

(The only blood that apparently is in heaven, is the blood of Jesus – forever pure, with eternal life, God’s own blood.)
