#84 The Blood of the Covenant Explained - Symbolic Meaning of Blood in the Bible
By Jonathan S. Rose
Title: The Blood of the Covenant
Topic: First Coming
Summary: We look at what "blood" means in Scripture, particularly its meaning in relation to the crucifixion. (There is little actual mention of blood in connection with the crucifixion.) The word "blood" is associated with the covenant, protection, healing, redemption, and overcoming. Hell doesn't mind physical blood at all, but the Divine Truth blood corresponds to is terrifying to hell.
