What else would the burnt sacrifice point to if not Jesus? (Heb 13:11-12) “The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.” (Lev.6:13) Because the law worketh wrath. (Rom.4:15) God’s wrath upon his just substitute instead of his enemies. (Nah.1:2, Rom.5:8-10, Eph.2:1-4) “But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.” (Psa.37:20) “I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.”(Jer.51:40) “Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger. From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them:” Lam.1:12-3 (see Isa.34:2,6-10, Lev.6:13, Jer.46:10) For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. (Dt.4:24, Ezk.38:19,6:5, Heb.12:29) This is a figure in the consuming of the sacrifice in Lev.9:24 “And there came a fire out from before the Lord, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat”. (2 Thes.1:7-9) The vengeance of eternal fire will fall from heaven upon the wicked. But Jesus Christ will be the one executing the wrath (Mt.3:11-12, Jn.5:22,27, Ac.17:31, Rv.5:5-6) because he absorbed this wrath on the cross. (Rom.14:9, Phil.2:6-11) Lev.1:3 If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord. 4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. Lev.6:8 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 9 Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the burnt offering: It is the burnt offering, because of the burning upon the altar all night unto the morning, and the fire of the altar shall be burning in it. 10 And the priest shall put on his linen garment, and his linen breeches shall he put upon his flesh, and take up the ashes which the fire hath consumed with the burnt offering on the altar, and he shall put them beside the altar. 11 And he shall put off his garments, and put on other garments, and carry forth the ashes without the camp unto a clean place. 12 And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings.13 The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out. Leviticus 6:30 And no sin offering, whereof any of the blood is brought into the tabernacle of the congregation to reconcile withal in the holy place, shall be eaten: it shall be burnt in the fire. Leviticus 9:24 And there came a fire out from before the Lord, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces. Exodus 32:10 Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. Leviticus 10:2 And there went out fire from the Lord, and devoured them, and they died before the Lord. Numbers 25:11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. Psalm 59:13 Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah. Psalm 90:7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. Ezekiel 22:31 Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord God. Numbers 11:1 And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp. Numbers 16:35 And there came out a fire from the Lord, and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense. Deuteronomy 9:3 Understand therefore this day, that the Lord thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the Lord hath said unto thee.

1 Tim.3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. Philip. 2:6-7 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 1 Cor. 15:47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. John 6:62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? John 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. John 16:27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. 28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. 1 Jn. 4:2-32 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Hebrews 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; Penal Substitutionary Atonement: • Atonement Nestorianism - • The Heresy of Nestorianism (Orthodox ... • Nestorianism

To understand redemption and ransom in scripture you must see that two different definitions are being used. One is buying back the other is retrieving or recovering from something bad. redeem 1a : to buy back : REPURCHASE 2: to free from what distresses or harms: such as a: to free from captivity by payment of ransom b: to extricate from or help to overcome something detrimental Here are verses indicting a purchase: 1 Pet. 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; Psa.49:6 They that trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches; 7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: 8 (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) Lv.25:25 If thy brother be waxen poor, and hath sold away some of his possession, and if any of his kin come to redeem it, then shall he redeem that which his brother sold. v 31 And if a man will at all redeem ought of his tithes, he shall add thereto the fifth part thereof. v51 ...he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for. Num.3:48-9 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons. And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites: Num.18:15 ...the firstborn of man shalt thou surely redeem, and the firstling of unclean beasts shalt thou redeem. v16 And those that are to be redeemed from a month old shalt thou redeem, according to thine estimation, for the money of five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, which is twenty gerahs. Ruth 4:6 And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem it for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance: redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot redeem it. Exodus 21:30 If there be laid on him a sum of money, then he shall give for the ransom of his life whatsoever is laid upon him. Exodus 30:12 When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the Lord, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them. v16 And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel... Proverbs 6:35 He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts. Here are verses indicating 'to free from distress or harm'. Eph.5:16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Deut.7:8 But because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Psa.25:22 Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. Psa.107:2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; 130:8 And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities. Isa.1:27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness. Isa.63:9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old. Ex.6:6 Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem

• The Atonement Money Ex.22:20 He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed. Leviticus 17:3 What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp, 4 And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people: 5 To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto the Lord. Heb.5:1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: Psa.49:7 None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: Heb.9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Heb.9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many... Heb.10:11-12 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; • The Scapegoat was Christ

Hell is evidence that God's full retributive divine justice must be satisfied. Hell is not arbitrary justice. Hell is eternal because God is an eternal person. All our sins are against him. (Psa. 51:4, Gen.4:10, Lv.6:2, Jam.2:9, Mt.25:45, 1 Jn.3:4) Only an eternal person could satisfy his justice, thus Jesus alone could make propitiation as God manifest in the flesh. An eternal person propitiated an eternal person and the Father was pleased with the Son. There could not be a third-party suffering for sin for the law and righteousness itself forbids it, yea it would be unjust. (Prv.17:15, Ezk.18:4,20, 2 Chr.25:4, Ex.32:32-3, Dt.24:16) Only the incarnate God could mediate and propitiate God. Unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. Heb.1:8-9 God is exact or precise in his judgments- Ex. 21:23-5, Lev. 24:19-21, Lev. 19:34-6, Deut. 17:8, 19:21, 21:5, Deut. 25:14-16, Prov. 20:10,23, 11:23, 16:11, Micah 6:11. Therefore the death of Christ must match the penalty for sin. Therefore, the cup of wrath and fury was drunk by Jesus Christ on the cross when he was baptized unto death. What other cup was Jesus exceedingly sorrowful about drinking if not drinking of the wrath of the Almighty? (Psa.75:8, Job 21:20, Psa.89:46, Isa.51:17, 22, Jer.25:15, 17, 28) • Atonement & The Symbolism of Baptism Matt.20:22 But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able. v23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with... (Also Mark 10:38-9, Luke 12:50) Compare Rom.6:3-6- when we were crucified with him and baptized unto death. Gal.2:20 Part of the sign of Jonah (Mt.12:40) was the swallowing up of judgment of the great floods- a baptism. (1 Pt.3:20-1) These are prophetically seen in the Psalms- 22:1,88:6-7,14-8,69:1-4,7-9,14-15,20-22. Matt.26:39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. v42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. (Also Mark 14:36, Luke 22:42) Rev.14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 16:19...and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. What else would the burnt sacrifice point to if not Jesus? (Heb 13:11-12) “The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.” (Lev.6:13) Because the law worketh wrath. (Rom.4:15) God’s wrath upon his just substitute instead of his enemies. (Nah.1:2, Rom.5:8-10, Eph.2:1-4) “But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.” (Psa.37:20) “I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.”(Jer.51:40) “Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger. From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them:” Lam.1:12-3 (see Isa.34:2,6-10, Lev.6:13, Jer.46:10) For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. (Dt.4:24, Ezk.38:19,6:5, Heb.12:29) This is a figure in the consuming of the sacrifice in Lev.9:24 “And there came a fire out from before the Lord, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat”. (2 Thes.1:7-9) The vengeance of eternal fire will fall from heaven upon the wicked. But Jesus Christ will be the one executing the wrath (Mt.3:11-12, Jn.5:22,27, Ac.17:31, Rv.5:5-6) because he absorbed this wrath on the cross. (Rom.14:9, Phil.2:6-11) • God is Just

Because Christ was fully eternal God incarnate his death can satisfy the eternal nature of God's righteousness. But Governmental Atonement Theorists (GOATs) 'The Atonement' by ALBERT BARNES (1858) attributes an arbitrary pardon to God of sinners without satisfying his justice, which is his immutable nature. The reason God hath set forth Jesus to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, is to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins. That he might be just in forgiving because it is a matter of justice. (Rom.3:25-6, 1 Jn.1:9) Barnes says in Ch.7 “It is impossible that this should have occurred unless the Divine nature actually suffered. If that were so, then it might be conceivable that an amount of suffering might have been endured in the time during which the Redeemer was on the cross which would be equal to all that those for whom he died would endure if in their own persons they bore the penalty of the law forever; for, if an infinite Being could thus suffer, the very fact that he is infinite would make such a supposition possible. But on no other supposition can it be conceived that, in the hours in which the Redeemer hung on the cross, or in the whole length of a human life, an amount of suffering could have been endured which would be equal to what countless millions could endure in the world of woe if prolonged to eternity.” Did not the Divine nature suffer in the incarnate Word in whom dwelt the fulness of the Godhead bodily, or that they had not "crucified the Lord of glory." Barnes explains “This doctrine cannot be believed.... the doctrine was found that God had endured mortal pangs. Such a statement would so impinge on all the conceptions which men entertain of the Divine nature, that it could not, and would not, be believed. God cannot suffer and die. If there is any thing of which the human mind is perfectly confident, it is of the truth of this statement; and if it were necessary that the Divine nature should suffer in order that an atonement should be made, it is clear that it would have been forever impossible. God cannot die; and yet, in all the representations which we have of the atonement, the statement is that it was made by the death of the victim.” (pg.225-6) If Christ is the express image of the Father in whom all fulness dwells, is he not fully God incarnate? (Col.2:9, 1:19, Heb.1:3) If the atonement was just a token suffering and not satisfying the full penalty of the law whereas the full penalty Barnes admits could be paid if in fact “an infinite Being could thus suffer”, is this not an admission that Christ who suffered was not fully God incarnate? For if in Christ dwelt the fulness of the Godhead bodily why would his sacrifice not have satisfied the eternal justice of God? This would be a denial of the Lord in the very act of buying them. 2 Pet.2:1 ...there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 1 Jn. 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist... The Living God is the source of all life. (Gen.1:21,24,28,2:7, Job 12:10, Mal.2:10, Ps.145:16, Heb.12:9, Ac.17:24-9, Lk.20:38) Therefore because of the unchanging immutability of God’s nature and character, the soul that sins shall surely die. Eph.4:18, Rom.6:23,16, 5:12,17,21, 7:5,13, 8:2, Ezk.18:4,20, 3:20, 33:1 4-15, Jam.1:15, 2 Chr.25:4, Dt.24:16, Gen.2:17, 1 Cor.15:22.

Christ bore the all the sins of many Lev.10:17 Wherefore have ye not eaten the sin offering in the holy place, seeing it is most holy, and God hath given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord? (The shoulder of the heave offering was to represent bearing the burden. Lev.10:14-5, Gen.49:15, Ex.29:27, Num.7:9, Jdg.16:3, 1 Chr.15:15, 2 Chr.35:3, Psa.81:6, Isa.46:7, Mt.23:4) Lev.16:21-2 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness. Isa.53:11-12 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. Heb.9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. V26 ...but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 1 Pt.2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. John 1: 29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. (In Israel the atonement was unlimited without exception or distinction- Lev.16:16-7, 21-22,24, 33-4, 2 Chronicles 29:23-24) 1 John 3: 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

These are shadows of Christ. To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. (2 Cor.5:19) See laying on hands here: https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksea... It was not the blood of animals that would affect any demand of God’s righteousness. Heb.10:8, Mic.6:6-7, Isa.40:15-7, Hos.6:6, Mt.12:7, Psa.50:8-12, 69:30-1, 1 Sam.15:22 The sins of the world past, present and future were laid upon Jesus, (Rom.3:23-8, Heb.9:14-15, Rv.13:8 1 Pt.1:19-20, Jn.1:29) that is imputed to him on the cross. (Isa.53:5-6,8,10-12, 2 Cor.5:19,21,1Pt.2:24, 3:18, Heb.9:28,1 Jn.3:5, Col.1:19-22) Christ only died for sins once, he does not die again for future sins. (Rom. 6:9-10,1 Pet.3:18, Heb.10:10,12, Heb.7:27, 9:25-6) The Levitical sacrificial system were figures (Heb.9:9,24) patterns (Ex.25:9,40, Num.8:4, Heb.8:5, 9:23) and shadows (Heb.8:5,10:1) of the work of the superior priest Jesus Christ the Lord. (Heb.7) Jesus took the legal responsibility for our sins and thereby endured the penalty of death even the death of the cursed cross. • Christ's Death on the Cursed Tree

Notably on the day of Atonement “ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement”. (Lev.23:28) Not by works of righteousness which are as filthy rags before God (Eph.2:8-9, Tit.3:5, Rom.4:5, Isa.64:6) can we make atonement for our sins. To think so is damnable and no flesh shall glory before the thrice holy God. (1 Cor.1:29, Rom.4:2-3) Lev.23:30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest... Why? Because Christ is our rest when we cease from our labors. (Mt.11:28-30, Rom.4:5,23-5) The blood of animals they shed which were only figures would not stay any demand of God’s righteousness. Heb.10:8, Mic.6:6-7, Isa.40:15-7, Hos.6:6, Mt.12:7, Psa.50:8-12, 69:30-1, 1 Sam.15:22. They were simply pointing to Christ who was to come. (Heb.10:1, Gal.3:24-5, Rom.10:4) Lev.16:17 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel. Christ did this by Himself; “when he had by himself purged our sins”. (Heb.1:3, 9:26) Heb.10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. v12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; Heb.7: 27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. What else would the burnt sacrifice point to if not Jesus? (Heb 13:11-12) “The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.” (Lev.6:13) Because the law worketh wrath. (Rom.4:15) God’s wrath upon his just substitute instead of his enemies. (Nah.1:2, Rom.5:8-10, Eph.2:1-4) “But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.” (Psa.37:20) “I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.”(Jer.51:40) “Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger. From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them:” Lam.1:12-3 (see Isa.34:2,6-10, Lev.6:13, Jer.46:10) For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. (Dt.4:24, Ezk.38:19,6:5, Heb.12:29) This is a figure in the consuming of the sacrifice in Lev.9:24 “And there came a fire out from before the Lord, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat”. (2 Thes.1:7-9) The vengeance of eternal fire will fall from heaven upon the wicked. But Jesus Christ will be the one executing the wrath (Mt.3:11-12, Jn.5:22,27, Ac.17:31, Rv.5:5-6) because he absorbed this wrath on the cross. (Rom.14:9, Phil.2:6-11)

Presumably according to anti-Penal Substitutionary Atonement groups it would be unjust for God to punish a third party therefore He could not do that. However it would be unjust for God to not punish sins but these same people believe He could do that. God Gave His Son- Jn.3:16-17, Rom.5:8, 8:32 2 Cor.5:19-21, 1 Jn.4:9-10, 19…etc. Christ Gave Himself- 1 Tim.2:6, Tit.2:14, Gal.1:4, 2:20, Jn.10:11…etc. • Jesus Christ is God • The Man Christ Jesus • Penal Substitutionary Atonement is be...

Paul exhibited the love of Christ for Israel when he states: Romans 9:2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: Likewise did Moses in Exod.32:31 And Moses returned unto the Lord, and said, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made them gods of gold. 32 Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which thou hast written. Gal.3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Deuteronomy 28:45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: Deuteronomy 29:19-21 19 And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst: 20 The Lord will not spare him, but then the anger of the Lord and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven. 21 And the Lord shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law: Deuteronomy 29:27 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book: Lam.1:12 Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the Lord hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger. 13 From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate and faint all the day. as Lev.9:24 And there came a fire out from before the Lord, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.

Examples of Atonement appeasing God's wrath: Num.16:45-48, 2 Chronicles 29:5-10,23-24, Numbers 25:5-13 Once atonement is made forgiveness is possible as the pattern given by revelation: Lev.4:20, 26, 31, 35, 5:6, 10, 13, 16, 18

The Living God is the source of all life. (Gen.1:21,24,28,2:7, Job 12:10, Mal.2:10, Ps.145:16, Heb.12:9, Ac.17:24-9, Lk.20:38) Therefore because of the unchanging immutability of God’s nature and character, the soul that sins shall surely die. Eph.4:18, Rom.6:23,16, 5:12,17,21, 7:5,13, 8:2, Ezk.18:4,20, 3:20, 33:11,13, Jam.1:15, 2 Chr.25:4, Dt.24:16, Gen.2:17, 1 Cor.15:22. The Old Covenant is filled with blood sacrifices (the life of the flesh-Lv.17:11,14) and burnt offerings (Numbers 29 for example) and the Passover sacrifice and the day of Atonement where blood was sprinkled on the mercy seat. And again, the priesthood and entire sacrificial system was designed to shed blood. It was not the blood of animals that would affect any demand of God’s righteousness. Heb.10:8, Mic.6:6-7, Isa.40:15-7, Hos.6:6, Mt.12:7, Psa.50:8-12, 69:30-1, 1 Sam.15:22 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. (Prv.21:3) These were mere instructions and shadows of the true. (Heb.7-10) What God taught us through those sacrifices, among other things, was that blood had to be shed in order to appease and propitiate his justice, to hold back his wrath. To do justice and judgment was the sacrifice of Christ. The wages of sin is death because God is the source of life. If God will forgive, then his forgiveness must be just for he is. (1 Jn.1:9, Rom.3:25-6) Grace is subordinate to justice as female is to male. The sins of the world past, present and future were laid upon Jesus, (Rom.3:23-8, Heb.9:14-15, Rv.13:8 1 Pt.1:19-20, Jn.1:29) that is imputed to him on the cross. (Isa.53:5-6,8,10-12, 2 Cor.5:19,21,1Pt.2:24, 3:18, Heb.9:28,1 Jn.3:5, Col.1:19-22) Christ only died for sins once. (Rom. 6:9-10,1 Pet.3:18, Heb.10:10,12, Heb.7:27, 9:25-6) He was delivered up for our sins. (Rom.8:32, 4:25, Ac.2:23,1 Cor.15:3, Gal.1:4, 1Jn.2:2,4:10) This alone can fulfill all divine justice and allow for everlasting mercy to be poured out. (Matt.26:39,53-4, Mark 14:36, Luke 22:42) Symbolism of Baptism- • Atonement & The Symbolism of Baptism
