Let His
Blood Be On Us ---And Our Children!!

Matt 27:24-25
24 When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead
an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of
the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!"
25 All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and on our children!"
-----------------------------------------
The Lord has just showed me something I've never seen before. The scripture
declares the wisdom of God when it says:
Job 36:26
26 How great is God-- beyond our understanding!
When I am able to get in touch with the Love and unsearchable ways of God,
it leaves me in awe. Just about the time we ask the question, "How will
God be able to fix this?" [whatever our situation]---we discover that He
has had it "fixed" throughout all time, having known before the earth was
created how He would deal and COVER our sin--or the sin of another. He
is, of course, far beyond our space and time. Prophecy is possible because
the future is as real to the Lord as is the present.
GOD HAS ALWAYS LOVED HIS PEOPLE ---ISRAEL
Rather than having rejected Israel for all time---because of their
many sins, The Lord instead says this:
"THEY WILL NOT CEASE TO BE A NATION BEFORE ME"
Jer 31:35-37
35 This is what the LORD says, he who appoints the sun to shine
by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up
the sea so that its waves roar-- the LORD Almighty is his name:
36 "Only if these decrees vanish from my sight," declares the LORD,
"will the descendants of Israel ever cease to be a nation before me."
37 This is what the LORD says: "Only if the heavens above can be
measured and the foundations of the earth below be searched out will I
reject all the descendants of Israel because of all they have done," declares
the LORD. (NIV)
YET --- His own children said of Jesus, as He was to be crucified: "Let
his blood be on us and on our children!"
So what is it that the Lord God in heaven did with that demand? He
turned it into a prayer!
We see a short-term judgment (nearly 2,000 years) where the Jewish
people are scattered throughout the earth from their precious Jerusalem---until
the times of the Gentiles are nearly fulfilled---and then they [The Jewish
People], according to His Lovingkindness are miraculously returned to their
own land--in fulfillment of Jeremiah 31: 35-37 (see above)
But the GRACE OF GOD extends far beyond all of this. Remember, He is
answering the "prayer," --- "Let his blood be on us and on our children
[our descendents]."
THE PRAYER IS BEING ANSWERED
The God who answers prayer-- is now about to restore Israel, not only
more completely to their own land---but He is about to complete His plan,
by covering the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL IN THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF THE LAMB ---JUST
AS THEY REQUESTED HE WOULD DO, NEARLY TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO.
We will see, and even now have heard,-- thousands and soon millions
of The Jewish People, one by one accepting Christ as their Savior---as
they are receiving the answer of their ancestors prayers ---to be covered
by the Blood---The same BLOOD of Jesus that they [and WE] have shed. Their
curse--because of the unsearchable wisdom of God becomes their blessing
---because God knew (before the earth was founded) when they asked for
the blood of Jesus to be on them and their children---that this was exactly
what Jesus had in His mind --and in His plan for them --- by dying on the
Cross! Even when they tried to curse their descendents, they could not
help but bless them instead!! (Remember Balaam?)
Zech 12:10
10 "And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants
of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me,
the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for
an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn
son. (NIV)
Zech 13:1
1 "On that day a fountain will be opened to the house of David and
the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity. (NIV)
