In the Fall season, the Jews went to Jerusalem for the Day of Atonement. This is where the High Priest would have 2 goats prepared - one was taken out into the wilderness and released (representing the 1000 yr Millennium without Satan) and the other sacrificed for the sins of the people (representing Jesus). Though this sacrificial ritual occurred annually, it could not take away the guilt the sinners felt. It was symbolic and pointing to the greatest sacrifice to happen ahead from Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins.

Jesus is the member of the God Family that created all things - including us (John 1:1-3). As Creator God, His life was much more valuable than all human life from the 1st to the last one of us, together. In as much, His voluntary and obedient death on the tree and subsequent resurrection and acceptance by the Father of His offering for us (Wave Sheath Offering), re-connected mankind to the Throne of God. We have a Mediator, an Eternal High Priest, our brother. When we now repent and get baptized, we come out of the watery grave a new creature being begotten of God by the power of His Holy Spirit. All guilt subsides and we look forward to our following our perfect example (1Peter2:21).

If those who are called in their lifetimes (John 6:44;65) remain strong to the end, they will be part of the 1st Resurrection, as firstfruits and eventually become the Bride of Christ (position in God's Government) at the Wedding Feast to follow.

Did God except Jewish temple sacrifices after Jesus' death?

According to Judaism, yes. Jesus died somewhere between 30-35 CE. The Temple continued operating until 70 CE when it was destroyed. That makes a minimum of 35 years where Jewish sacrifices were accepted by God after Jesus' death.According to Christianity, the Christ was the final and perfect sacrifice, and therefore no further sacrifice was needed or would be accepted. Therefore God would not have accepted Jewish sacrifices after Jesus' death.


What duse Jesus lamb of god mean?

Jesus - Lamb of God, refers to the fact that the Jews gave sacrifices in the temple, and thus, they would understand this metaphor. Jesus was to be the atoning sacrifice for the sins of the world, just like the Jews; when they sinned they were supposed to bring a lamb as a sacrifice.


Who did Jesus say had made the temple a den of thieves?

Long ago when animal sacrifices were done by the Levitical priests of the Hebrews many different animals were needed for the sacrifices. When Jesus was here on earth the priests and others were making money selling birds and animals to the Hebrews for them to offer as sacrifices. They were profiteering. They were basically dishonoring God and therefore Jesus called them a den of thieves.

When Jesus died Jews and Israel continue offered their sacrifices in the temple?

When Jesus died, the Jewish temple in Jerusalem continued to function, and sacrifices were still being offered as part of the religious practices at that time. The temple remained the center of Jewish worship until its destruction in 70 CE. However, the significance of Jesus' death transformed the understanding of sacrifice for many of his followers, leading to the development of early Christianity, which emphasized faith in Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice. This shift marked a key point of divergence between Judaism and the emerging Christian faith.

Is it true or false that the letter to the Hebrews teaches that Jesus' sacrifice supersedes all other sacrifices?

The answer is true. The writer of Hebrews points out that Jesus Christ is superior in every way to anything else. And why should He not be superior, He is the Son of the living God.Additional thoughts:Hebrews 9:10,23-26 compares the animal sacrifices under the Mosaic Law to the far superior sacrifice of the promised Messiah, Jesus(Hebrews 7:22-25). The "Law" was a 'shadow of the good things to come' as it prefigured the ultimate sacrifice of God's son (Hebrews 10:1,2,10) which would make the 'old covenant' (the Mosaic Law with it's sacrifices) obsolete (Hebrews 8:6+13/Hebrews 7:18+19).


Why was Jesus put to death on the cross and why did he suffer?

In the Old Testament, people had to offer sacrifices to be forgiven of their sins. God sent Jesus into the world to be the perfect and ultimate sacrifice. Jesus never sinned and lived a perfect life while on Earth. He was crucified to be the sacrifice for all sinners from then on. He suffered because God made Jesus a human to experience the pain and suffering humans deal with to make a more personal relationship with them.


If Jesus died 2000 years ago how was it that he died for your sins?

Jesus did die for all of our sins. For humanity at that time as well as those who were to come. We are all covered by Jesus' blood, as long as we believe that he is the son of God who was born, died, and resurrected. Jesus dying for us was the "perfect sacrifice". He took the place of traditional sacrifices of unblemished (ie perfect) sheep which, at that time thousands of years ago, were sacrificed to atone for sins. Since sin was never ending, that means the sin sacrifices of animals were never ending. It became just a ritual vs having a significant change in behavior. When Jesus died for all of us to come, he eliminated the need for these type of sacrifices ("Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world...). We can live in faith now for Jesus, knowing that He will forgive us our sins when we ask Him to in earnest, since he has already been the sacrifice for us.
