I do my best to temper your expectations. It's a low bar to get under, so forgive me if I get above it sometimes.
I'd have thunk you, of all people, would know his way around talk of swamps and such.
You already did that song and dance, mate. It wasn't very good the first time 'round, either.
The passover lamb hasn't got anything to do with the burnt offering. It has to do with painting the doorposts with blood. Maybe you ought to go back to Exodus and re-read the original story?
If I'm Klink, then tell me Schultzy, what do you see? That's what I thought...
John 1:29 KJV does not say "Passover Lamb"....
Even slower...
You missed it. I know it's quite deep, so I will slow it down for you. Take a deep breath, and follow the bouncing ball, Mitch:
John 1 KJV
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
That has NADA to do with a sin offering, drones-it was a reference to carrying away our griefs, burdens-NADA to do with dying for our sins. John the Baptist had no clue that the Lord Jesus Christ would die for our sins.
As others have been shown, chapter and verse,
no one knew at that time that Christ was going to be put to death. The 11 were clueless. John the Baptist was clueless, witness his puzzlement that he was in prison, and his message to the Lord. "What the heck is happening?". He was expecting the warrior King Messiah, not a suffering servant. It was not until the Sanhedrin declared the Lord Jesus Christ's destruction(Mt. 12:32 KJV), that the Lord Jesus Christ revealed that He was going to die. Again, the 11 were clueless. Everyone was.
The passover lamb did not represent "bearing sin," and a lamb was never the sin offering victim. Nor was it "the sin of the world" that the scapegoat bore away-it was the sins of Israel, per Lev. 16:21 KJV. The "bearing of the sin of the world" is not a reference to, a prophecy, pointing to Calvary, but a revelation of what the Lord Jesus Christ was during His earthly ministry. "taketh away"-taking up and carrying burdens, not a "sacrificial" term here.
His earthly ministry-sin bearer, in the sense of taking up and carrying burdens-his groans and tears at the grave of his friend Lazarus....He took up and bore the burden of human sin; not, during His earthly life as to guilt(that was not until Calvary), but as to sufferings and sorrows it brought upon all of mankind:
Is. 53:7 KJV
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
No sacrificial language is intended here, as slaughter merely means "shambles," as it foretold of the Christ's earthly life of "humbling Himself", and suffering.
Genesis 22:8 KJV
8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself
a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
Took you how long to dig up that cliche?
You are dismissed, WickedStiff/Col.Klink/Sgt. Schultz/Hop Sing..... Take your seat....That is it....Way in the back,by the exit sign.....
