“In the ancient world, almost every time an animal was butchered it was sacrificed to a god. Here, the LORD made it clear that not every slaughtered animal was considered a sacrifice to Him.
Since the blood was the picture of life in any animal or man (for the blood is the life), God would not allow Israel to eat meat that had not been properly bled. Instead, it was to be given to God by pouring it out on the earth “Guzik”
Yesterday while reading a news article I followed a link and below the social media post was a picture of a couple which the woman proclaimed she drank the blood of her mate. I thought to myself how dark and evil.
But then I remembered why the Lord brought the great flood!
Genesis 6: 5Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great upon the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was altogether evil all the time. 6And the LORD regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. 7So the LORD said, “I will blot out man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth—every man and beast and crawling creature and bird of the air—for I am grieved that I have made them.”
But wait, there’s hope! The Lord gave us a way to remove our wickedness!
John 3: 16For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Do you have eternal life or will you perish with the wicked?
Blessings
