The Old Testament Offerings part two

 God will cast only the evil that He has cursed into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15. In Genesis 3:14-21, God did not curse Adam and Eve. God cursed only the Devil and the ground that holds all evil and spiritual death. God promised Eve that she would be "the mother of all living," and in light of Luke 20:38 and Ecclesiastes 3:14, God must forever save all living humans whom He creates and loves. I Corinthians 13:8. The only difference happens to be that God will provide a higher form of salvation for humans saved by His grace and a lower form of salvation for all other living humans.

God killed an animal and shed its blood to clothe Adam and Eve with its coat. God gave this first sin offering to symbolize that the coming Savior that He had promised would shed His blood and water on a cross to cleanse and forgive all living humans who would ever repent and believe in this Savior while still alive in the flesh. This sin offering symbolized God's salvation by grace. Genesis 3:21; John 5:24. All living humans saved by grace obtain a home with God in Heaven forever. I Peter 1:3-5.

God gave this same sin offering to the Israelites just before He liberated them from slavery in Egypt. At that time, the Israelites symbolized the entire living human race that God will liberate from slavery to the Devil. Pharaoh and his people, who worshiped evil gods, symbolized the regions of death which holds all evil. The deaths of the Egyptian firstborn symbolized the spiritual death that God will remove from all living humans. Exodus 11:4-6. God commanded that the Israelites kill a perfect lamb, which symbolized the sacrifice of the coming Lamb of God, put its blood on their lintels and doorposts which symbolized the shape of a cross, and the death angel who killed the firstborn would pass over them. God commanded all of the Israelites to roast the lamb and eat some of it. God also commanded that the rest of the lamb should be burned before the morning. These commands symbolized that eventually God will save the entire living human race, some by His grace and all others confined to the regions of death in a great worship service just before the final, general resurrection when Christ will reveal Himself to them, and they will repent and believe that He is the Lamb of God who alone can save them. At that time, Christ will use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve the individual systems of every one of these believers in order to separate their dead, spiritual natures for Him to cast into the lake of fire from their repentant, living natures which He will recreate to live on His recreated earth. The Israelites had to have symbolized the entire living human race because God gave them both a sin offering and a burnt offering to save them all. Exodus 12:1-13; John 6:47-51; John 11:25; Revelation 5:11-14; Psalm 75:3; II Peter 3:9-13; John 5:28-29; I Corinthians 3:11-15; Isaiah 45:20-25; Isaiah 66:22-24; Genesis 8:20-21.
