According to Moses' law, a man who kills someone accidently may flee to the city of refuge and save his life. He must stay there until the death of the high priest. He could never be freed with a ransom.
However, a man who kills someone intentionally must be put to death. He can never save his life, even if he flees to the city of refuge.
Nu 35:9-34 Select some towns to be your cities of refuge, to which a person who has killed someone accidentally may flee.
This law has something to do with our salvation. Today we will study the prophetical relationship between the city of refuge and the earth.
The law of the city of refuge is one of the prophecies to be fulfilled by Jesus. Let's find out how Jesus accomplished this law. First, we need to find out who the high priest stands for.
Da 9:24 To anoint the most holy [most holy one].
The prophet Daniel said the most holy one would be anointed. Let's find out who he is.
Heb 5:8 … (Jesus) was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
Jesus was anointed as high priest as prophesied. The Bible testifies that we are all sinners from heaven who came down to this earth. Here on earth we are aliens and strangers.
Heb 11:13 They admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. … they were longing for a better country―a heavenly one.
We are sinners who accidently committed sin against God in heaven and fled to the earth temporarily for the sake of our lives. This earth is the spiritual city of refuge where heavenly sinners stay for a while before they return home, heaven.
How can we go back to our home? We can find the answer through the law of the city of refuge. Accidental murderers could return to their own property only through the sacrifice of the high priest. We, the accidental murderers from heaven, can go back to our heavenly home only through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the high priest. We can never be freed with a ransom.
1 Pe 1:18 It was not perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed. … but with the precious blood of Christ (the high priest).
Eph 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins.
We can receive redemption and return to our heavenly home only through the blood of Jesus, the heavenly high priest. Nothing else enables us go back to our heavenly home.
The bottom line is Jesus' blood. How can we receive Jesus' blood? Let's find out.
Heb 5:10 And was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
Jesus came in the order of Melchizedek and gave us the forgiveness of our sins through the Passover bread and wine. They represent the flesh and blood of Jesus, who is the Passover sacrifice.
In the last days Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnhong appeared as the high priest in the order of Melchizedek. We can go back to heaven, our home, only through His Passover sacrifice. Believe in Him and receive redemption to go back to our home. God bless you.
Amen.
