The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

being the life agency of all flesh means that it is the only currency that occupies time, space, and eternity at once. Therefore, to shed blood is to release a communication that extends beyond the natural spheres of existence. The higher the caliber of blood, the better and more effective its sacrifice. The blood of innocents was prized because no sinful actions had yet to contaminate it. The blood of royalty was better because it contained the originating life of the god that brought the line into existence, so to spill it was seen as a conquest over the progenitor’s god. Priestly blood was special because it allowed the empowering aspects of the priest’s blood that stood for the entire congregation to be delivered into the hands of another god. For all these reasons, blood was and remains the most effective mediatory sacrament to come from the earth. In this is seen the factors that make Jesus Christ’s blood the most excellent sacrifice. His blood was sinless and so spiritually and naturally uncontaminated. His divine conception saw to that. He is the Son of Creator God who is the King of Kings and so meets the criteria of royalty perfectly. As the faithful High Priest from eternity, foreshadowed by Creator God’s eternal priest Melchizedek, Christ’s blood transcends time and space to reach back to heaven, the place of Lucifer’s transgression, and to Eden to remit its transgression. Being eternally human and divine, Jesus Christ’s blood remains effective to the end of the age to cover all those born on earth until then. See Blood and Blood Covenants. Review Hebrews 9–10. 210. Blue—A color that prophetically has celestial and heavenly power, blue symbolizes spiritual dominance and heaven-bestowed rulership. It also signifies unimpeded growth, unlimited potential, and indomitable opportunity. Blue signified God’s appearance, and also symbolizes the perpetuity of eternity’s government. Blue was the color of the cloth used to cover the priests’ sacred implements of service for all these reasons. Exodus 25:4; Ezekiel 23:6 and 27:7 (asv); Numbers 4:12 and 15:38; Esther 8:15; Revelation 9:17 (niv); Ezekiel 10:1; 1 Corinthians 9:25 (tlb). 211. Body—In prophetic contexts, the body represents the housing of the entire being of a person. In it dwells the soul and the spirit. Body analogy is what the Lord uses to describe His church as well as its various functions and organs. Thus it is the life center of human existence. Body is not limited to the physical corpus or the church but applies to any gathering or collection of components along with their aggregate elements and operations.
