YESHUA made it abundantly clear that the scriptures pointed to Him and that the animal sacrifices were a foreshadow of the ultimate sacrifice through His atonement for the world on the execution stake!
Luke 24:44 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“YESHUA said to them, “This is what I meant when I was still with you and told you that everything WRITTEN ABOUT ME IN THE TORAH OF MOSES, THE PROPHETS AND THE PSALMS HAD TO BE FULFILLED.”
Today I would like to talk about one of these that is in the Torah:
Numbers 28:1-4 (Samaritan)
“And YAHWEH spoke to Moses, saying, My command to the sons of Yisrael and say to them, you shall be careful to present My sacrifice, My food for My offerings by fire, of a sweet savor to Me, ON ITS TIMES. And you shall say to them, this is the fire which you shall offer to YAHWEH, two male sheep one year old WITHOUT DEFECT, two per day, A CONTINUAL BURNT OFFERING. You shall offer the one sheep IN THE MORNING, and the other sheep you shall OFFER BETWEEN THE SUNSETS.”
Numbers 28: 4 (Septuagint)
“You shall offer one lamb in the morning and you shall offer the second lamb TOWARDS EVENING.”
YAHWEH required perfect lambs without blemish for the sacrifice and YESHUA was perfect and without blemish and gave Himself up for us for all violation of the Torah:
Titus 2:14 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“He gave Himself up on our behalf in order to free us from ALL VIOLATION OF TORAH and purify for Himself a people who would be His own, eager to do good.”
1 Peter 2:22-24 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“He COMMITED NO INIQUITY, nor was any deceit found on His lips.” When He was insulted, He didn’t retaliate with insults; when He suffered, He didn’t threaten, but handed them over to Him who judges justly. He Himself BORE OUR INIQUITES IN HIS BODY on the stake, so that we might die to iniquities and live for righteousness---by His wounds you were healed.”
Isaiah 53:9 (Septuagint)
“And I will give the wicked for His burial and the rich for His death; for HE PRACTICED NO INIQUITY NOR DECEIT WITH HIS MOUTH.”
2 Corinthians 5:21 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“ELOHIM made this SINLESS MAN to be a iniquity offering on our behalf, so that in union with Him we might fully share in ELOHIM’s righteousness.”
Morning and evening sacrifice
We also see in Numbers 28, that there was a morning sacrifice and one in between the sunsets that same day.
Numbers 28:4 (Samaritan)
“You shall offer the one sheep IN THE MORNING, and the other sheep you shall OFFER BETWEEN THE SUNSETS.”
The morning sacrifice was at the third hour of the day which is 9 a.m. and the evening sacrifice was at the 9th hour which is 3 p.m., which matches the crucifixion of YESHUA!
Mark 15:25-37 (Hebrewgospels.com)
“Now it was the THIRD HOUR (9 A.M.) when they HANGED HIM UP. And they set a writing over Him, “This is YESHUA Notsri (Nazerene), the king of the Yehudim (Jews).” Then they hanged up two thieves with Him, one to the right and the other to the left. Then the scripture was fulfilled, which says, “He was numbered with the wicked ones.” And those were passing by that place, were cursing Him, shaking their head, saying, “You, were saying that You would lay waste the Sanctuary of YAHWEH—and You, after three days You would build it—save Yourself! Come down from the warp and woof (execution-stake)!” And like this the highest priests were speaking, jesting with each other and with the scribes, “He made others saved ones, but He is not able to save Himself!” If you are the Messiah of Yisra’el, come down from the warp and woof that we may see it and believe in You!” And those who were hanged up with Him made funeral speeches. And around the SIXTH HOUR (NOON), there came darkness in all the land until the NINTH HOUR. And at the NINTH HOUR (3 P.M.) YESHUA called out with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli! Why did You forsake Me?! And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it said, “See how He calls Eli-Yahu (Elijah).” Then one of them ran quickly, and bound a sponge onto a reed, and filled it with vinegar, and they gave to Him to drink. But some said, “Leave Him, and let us see if Eliyahu will come to deliver Him.” Then YESHUA called out with a loud voice, and blowed with His ruach (spirit and breath).”
YESHUA was crucified at 9 a.m. and died at 3 p.m. time of the morning and evening sacrifices! YESHUA also fulfilled the requirement for the continual offering because again, He is the offering, as Numbers 28:2 says:
“My command to the sons of Yisrael and say to them, you shall be careful to present My SACRIFICE, My food for My offerings by fire, of a SWEET SAVOR to Me, on its times.”
Ephesians 5:2 (Aramaic)
“And walk in love, as Messiah also has loved us and has given Himself for us, an OFFERING and a SACRIFICE to ELOHIM for a SWEET SAVOR.”
The Creator became a human being to suffer and die for His own creation! He fulfills the requirement for the CONTINUAL BURNT OFFERING just as the shedding of His blood CONTINUALLY COVERS those who accept His free gift of atonement, and confess YESHUA as their Messiah and Savior!
Daniel 9:24 (Septuagint)
“Seventy sevens have been determined on your people and on the set-apart city, for OFFENSES to be ENDED and to SEAL UP TRANGRESSIONS AND TO BLOT OUT THE INQUITIES AND TO MAKE ATONEMENT FOR INQUITIES AND TO BRING IN EVERLASTING RIGHTEOUSNESS and to seal the vision and the prophet and to anoint the set-apart of set-apartness.”
John 8:36 (Hebrewgospels.com)
“But if the SON MAKES ATONEMENT FOR YOU with haste, you will BE FREE MEN.”
Which perfectly matches Hebrews saying we are set free forever!
Hebrews 9:11-14 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)
“But when the Messiah appeared as High Priest of the good things that are happening already, then, through the greater and more perfect Tent which is not man-made (that is, it is not of this created world), He entered the Most Set-Apart Place ONCE AND FOR ALL. And He entered not by means of the blood of goats and calves, but by means of HIS OWN BLOOD, THUS SETTING PEOPLE FREE FOREVER. For if sprinkling ceremonially unclean persons with the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer restores their outward purity; then how much more the BLOOD OF THE MESSIAH, Who, through the eternal Spirit, offered Himself to ELOHIM as SACRFICE WITHOUT BLEMISH, will purify our conscience from works that lead to death, so that we can serve the living ELOHIM!”
Isaiah 53:4-8 (Septuagint)
“He bears our iniquities and is pained for us: yet we accounted Him to be in trouble and in suffering and in affliction. But He was wounded on account of OUR TRANGRESSIONS and was bruised because of OUR INIQUITIES: the chastisement of our peace was on Him; AND BY His bruise we were healed. All we as sheep have gone astray; everyone has gone astray in his way; and YAHWEH GAVE HIM UP FOR OUR INIQUITIES. And He, because of affliction, does not open His mouth: He was led as a SHEEP to the slaughter and as a LAMB before the shearer is dumb, so he does not open Hs mouth. In His humiliation His judgement was taken away: who shall declare His generation? For His life is taken away from the earth: BECAUSE OF THE INIQUITIES OF MY PEOPLE HE WAS LED TO DEATH.”
John 1:29 (Hebrewgospels.com)
“And on the next day John saw YESHUA who came unto him; and he said, “Behold, this is EL, WHO TAKES AWAY THE INIQUITES FROM THE WORLD.”
YESHUA died for the whole world and the Torah, Prophets, and Psalms testify of Him just as He said; and without accepting His free gift of atonement you will die in your transgressions! Accept Him as your Savior and live!
John 8:24 (Hebrewgospels.com)
“Because of this have I told you that you will die in your iniquities—unless you believe that I AM HE, YOU WILL DIE IN YOUR INIQUITY.” Then they said to Him “You, who are You?! So YESHUA answered and said to them, “THE ANICENT ONE, WHO SPEAKS many things unto you, and speaks of you, and judges.”
As always may YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!
