How The Devil/satan Deceiveth The Whole World

Brothers and sisters, there is violence, and wars, famine and earthquakes all over the planet today, and most people don't consider whats going on. They hear that we are in the "last days", but most do not consider or no that all this was foretold by the prophets and our Lord and savior Jesus christ. Lets go into Matthew 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to himfor to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these thingsmust come to pass, but the end is not yet.7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.8All these arethe beginning of sorrows.

Before we get into how Satan deceive the world lets take a look and see how bold the Devil is and what he controls, since the days of Jesus. Let’s go into Luke 4: 3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread. 4 And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. 5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. 7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. 8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

So we see that Satan uses his power with the kingdom of the earth. Now think about what we just read, the Devil says, "all the Kingdom are his", and that he is worshiped by those to whom he gives power to. Now, if he asked the Lord to worship him, while he was in the flesh; what about the rest of us? Let’s go into Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Think about it, how does he deceive the whole world? Which means me, you and everyone else has been deceive at some point for the scriptures did not say he deceive some of the world, or part of the world, but the whole world. Lets take a look and see how Satan used his power with these kingdoms. Lets go into Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. This places are the church, brothers and sisters. Lets go into Luke 22:52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and staves?53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

Did you notice it was the church people who came to arrest Jesus? They did the bidding for there "father" the Devil. I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it (John 8:37-44)

See, spiritual wickness is in the pulpits of the church, which is the highest place on the earth. The church is the true government that governs the earth. The men in the postitons of feeding the flock teaches the lies of the Devil, they deceive the people into worshiping another Jesus. Paul said in 2Corinthians 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Later, brothers and sisters we will see how satan deceiveth the whole world today with the church.
 
Lets take a look at some very important information Paul said in Ephesian 6:13-17 - Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

We must have the whole armor on, not half or one piece but all. The enemies’ weapon is bad doctrine; this bad doctrine is all around us. Our faith or belief in the Lord will protect us from all our enemies. How you might ask? By walking in righteousness, which is following the commandments, we will be at peace. Not only peace, if we endure to the end we will obtain salvation. As we have seen, we have an offensive weapon also. The sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. The word of God spoken in truth and in righteousness will defeat any enemy.



For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)
Now that we see what one must have to be protected, let's see how some of these evil spirits operate.

Pay close attention and you will see that they operate through men in this case.

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. (Revelation 13:1-2) This beast isn't Satan. This beast represents the entire Gentile dynasty. From Nebuchadnezzar to the ten nations that will make up the European Economic Community, which now I believe is call The Ten, that is gaining power at this very moment.



Notice where the beast gets it power? The dragon which is Satan the devil gives this system its power. And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: (Revelation 12:1) This women represents Israel, this can be found in Genesis the 37th chapter verses 9-10. "And she is with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born." (Revelation 12:2-4) Note what's being said. "And behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads." In the 13th chapter of Revelation it stated the dragon gave the beast its power. This simply means Satan which is the dragon runs the Gentile dynasty or in other words he gave the beast his power. In Daniel chapter 9 verse 26 you will see the children of the prince destroyed Jerusalem. Satan is the prince and the Gentiles are the children. The Gentiles destroyed Jerusalem in 70 a.d. headed up by the Roman General Titus.

Take another look at part of the verses above, this is Satan hard at work. "And the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born." This is what Satan is all about destruction. The child is Jesus; remember when He was born and the angel told Joseph to flee into Egypt because Herod sought the child's life? It wasn't Satan standing there himself; he tried to kill Jesus by the hand of Herod. Herod had no idea that Satan was behind this, his concern was his kingship. This is one reason you must try the spirits. How do you try the spirits? With the word of God. (EXAMPLE- Matthew 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,) so, what was Herod about to do? Commit murder.
 
Every Sunday millions upon millions of people all over the world attend church services. To most it's an automatic occurrence and they have never given their actions a second thought. It probably would seem blasphemous for these people to change their day of worship, before obtaining any true knowledge. After all, this is the way of the world and has been so for some time. Nevertheless, the bible says that Satan has deceived the whole world (Revelation 12:9).

Many people fail to realize that Sunday is the first day of the week. This ignorance is due to the fact that Monday is the first work/school day in most countries. However, Sunday is actually the first day of the week and Saturday is the seventh day. Any calendar, dictionary or encyclopedia will prove this fact. Some will argue that it's impossible to know which day is which. Some people believe the days have changed over time. However, the bible speaks of a seven day week and we still live according to this rule today. This is no accident.

Past nations have even tried to shorten and lengthen God's weekly institution, but of course they failed. Man has also come up with names (after pagan gods) for the days, but it is no coincidence that each day is still known by its perspective number (1-7). God has not allowed the days of the week to be altered over the centuries. Even during the sixteenth century when the world adopted our present calendar, the Gregorian, the days of the week did not change.

Others will say that it really doesn't matter what day you attend church. "You should worship God everyday" or "everyday is the Sabbath day," they will zealously proclaim. Well, why has the world set aside Sunday as it's day of worship (there is a reason, which we will discuss later) instead of any and every day? Sure you should do well and think about God every day, but everyday cannot be the Sabbath day. God in his wisdom knew that man would be consumed with his daily activities. Therefore, he set one day aside for man to come together and worship him. The Sabbath begins at sundown Friday and last until sundown Saturday. (Each day starts in the evening, instead of at midnight, "and the evening and morning were the fifth day" Genesis 1:23). The entire bible stresses that it is of utmost importance that we observe (attend church) the Lord's Sabbath, the seventh (7th) day. It really does matter. In the scriptures its written Proverbs 15: 32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding. 33 The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and before honour is humility.
 
Man realizes the importance of setting one day aside to worship God. Nevertheless, he has tried to change God's set time and law of Sabbath worship. "And he shall speak great words against the most High...and think to change times and laws..." (Daniel 7:25). This change went into effect on March 7, 321 A.D., by Emperor Constantine of Rome. Constantine, "...enjoined Sunday rest from labor, except agricultural" (Encyclopedia Britannica, Vol. 21, 1945). It is even recorded that Constantine used violence to enforce his new law, because the seventh day Sabbath was still being observed by true servants of God. Now if it would seem blasphemous for people to change their day of worship today, how do you think God felt when man changed his?

Satan had caused the second commandment to be ripped out. But he wasn't finished. The leaders changed the fourth one also!
The change of the fourth commandment was attempted gradually over a period of time so as not to arouse anyone. But the change is a masterpiece of Satan's work. Get ready for a shock.
The following mind-boggling statements were made by church authorities and are documented.

"Question - Have you any other way of proving that the church (Roman Catholic) has power to institute festivals of precept?

"Answer - Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her - she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday, the seventh day, a change for which there is no scriptural authority." A Doctrinal Catechism. by Stephen Keenan,pg. 174. That's incredible!
"The Catholic church," declared Cardinal Gibbons, "by virtue of her divine mission changed the day from Saturday to Sunday." Again the question is asked to them:

Question - Which is the Sabbath day?

"Answer - Saturday is the Sabbath day.

"Question - Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?

"Answer - We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church, in the Council of Laodicea (A.D. 364), transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday." The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine, pg. 50, 3rd ed.

What does the fourth commandment actually say? Here it is "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it." Exodus 20:8-11.

What does the Sabbath have to do with the day you "attend church"?

Exodus 20:8-11.

I don't see a single word about "attending church" in that commandment. The only thing it says to do is not work.

I meet with my local church on Thursday evening, btw. It wouldn't bother me in the slightest if we decided to meet on a different day. This is because, as far as I can tell, the fourth commandment has nothing at all to do with the day that you "attend church."

In Judaism, attending the Synagogue is not limited to the Sabbath (Synagogues have three services every day, and extra services on some days). Synagogue attendance is encouraged on the Sabbath, but it isn't one of the "legal" requirements, which have more to do with how "work" is to be defined.

So I guess I qualify as being among the ones who "say that it really doesn't matter what day you attend church."

I don't think I can possibly agree with that. I'd suggest that what's said from behind the pulpit is heard by only a fraction of people in a congregation, and accepted without question and then practiced (I would hope) by only a fraction of that number. I'd suggest that pulpit lecturing is relatively insignificant compared with the real teaching of a church, which is diverse and taught by far more than just its official leadership. The teaching that people really understand and apply to their lives is done when leaders, "official" or not, are part of/involved in the lives of other Christians, outside of the official church meeting -- the difference between "reciting a lecture" to people and discipleship.

Lecturing from the pulpit (a Hellenistic rhetorical model) probably doesn't really qualify as "teaching" for the vast majority of people.

I'm not saying that we should dismiss "false teaching" when it's done from behind a pulpit, but I am suggesting that the impact of what said from behind pulpits may be somewhat exaggerated here...

The church is the true government that governs the earth.

Explain?
 
There is no commandment to attend tabernacle, Temple, synagogue, or church on the 7th day Sabbath. No Israelite EVER did. It was a custom (manner, tradition) created by the Pharisees during the Babylonian Captivity. There is nothing wrong with it but it is NOT Torah. No people gathered together in one place for corporate worship before the commandments, no one after...until the return of the Jews (the first time Jews are even mentioned) to the land. Jesus did it as was His custom...He also observed the feast of dedication as was His custom and wore Tzit Tzit....
 
SATAN DECEIVES the WHOLE WORLD BECAUSE OF THE SABBATH
the head lines read.
Religious leader Bro.Tan stated at a news conference that he had the answers to all the Worlds affliction and how to rest back control to man, from the god of this World, Mr. Satan. Religious Icon Bro.tan gave a speech about how the World is deceived and what Satan is doing but did not until later tell everyone at the conference what the main issue was. Finally when pressed the iconic leader said this.

"Many people fail to realize that Sunday is the first day of the week. This ignorance is due to the fact that Monday is the first work/school day in most countries. However, Sunday is actually the first day of the week and Saturday is the seventh day. Any calendar, dictionary or encyclopedia will prove this fact. Some will argue that it's impossible to know which day is which. Some people believe the days have changed over time. However, the bible speaks of a seven day week and we still live according to this rule today. This is no accident."


According to guru Bro.Tan, Satan has gained control because He claims people don't know what day of the week it is. That is right, knowing what day of the week it is will solve this World deception. When asked further about this trouble Bro.Tan said it's all about the Sabbath, a Old practice by the Jewish community, normally kept once a week.

When polling 100 random people this new agency found that 5% actually knew what a Sabbath was, one guy in New York saying, "why's I care about days of week, I know Monday I better have my $#@ at work before 8am. What else is there to know?"

One thing is clear. This new idea of why the World is in trouble for not keeping some Sabbath will not replace global warming concerns. Not even a bit close.

In the scriptures its written in...(Lev.23:3) “Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an holy convocation;” He said on the Sabbath day that you should also have an holy convocation, which means holy gathering or simply put, go to church.

That's good that you did a little research, even though I didn't get my topic nor the statement from that news conference, but maybe it did come from that source. But it is the truth.


One thing is clear. This new idea of why the World is in trouble for not keeping some Sabbath will not replace global warming concerns. Not even a bit close.



In the scriptures its written in Psalm 82: 5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

When a person makes statement about what's not, with out full knowledge of the Bible we get a lot confusion. The world is not in trouble with global warming. The Sabbath day has every thing to do with man existing and the trouble with man, now, with knowledge, the Sabbath day also takes you to a period of time in the future when Jesus will reign for thousand years on the earth with his saints.
 
Exodus 16:29 says, “See, for that the LORD hath given you the sabbath, therefore on the sixth day he gives you the bread of two days; every man abide in his place (lit. - house), let no man go out of his place on the seventh day.” (Parenthesis mine)

Leviticus 23:3 tells us, “Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath, a day of holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings

in (inside of) all (plural, not one place) your (personal) dwellings (plural...where you live)

Nothing in either passage says anything like leaving your place and going to one location to gather for corporate Worship on the 7th day. Not one thing. Doing so is NOT the commandment of God...do not make it appear as if God has said something He did not say...

In His love

brother Paul

In as nice a Christian way that I can muster to you my friend, it is people like YOU who poison the minds of others over the internet that are in fact the worst problem I know of in this world.

YOU have poured out NON-BIBLICAL information to those who do not know the difference between truth and lies.

YOU have said and we have argued over whether or not a man has to keep the law in order to be saved.

Now YOU are telling us that it is a day of the week that matters the most.

I will probably get yelled at for this, but Bro.tan, you are as I have said before, a Judizer and a heretic, spewing out the poison of deceit and lies and then hiding behind a computer screen.

YOU sir are the biggest false teacher that I know of. I place you right up there with the Copelands, Tiltons, and Roberts and Hinns.
Say anything and be accountable to no one and force others to pick up the pieces of broken lives you guys leave behind!

Dear Moderators......if I crossed the line, just PM me but the fact is, someone had to say this.

I am with you as well my friend.

Since he is a Judaizer, teaching that we still need to worship on Sat. fits that belief perfectly.

No the Law says (not that we are any longer under the Law) that you are to convocate in your homes...(in all your dwellings...do NOT leave your place)...I'll bet you even ignite fire on the Sabbath and other unlawful things...
 
In the scriptures its written in...(Lev.23:3) “Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an holy convocation;” He said on the Sabbath day that you should also have an holy convocation, which means holy gathering or simply put, go to church.

Do we also follow the rest of Levitical law, or just that one?

At any rate, synagogues had/have daily services. I don't think we should assume that a "holy convocation" is a law for everyone to "go to church." All the fourth commandment says is to keep the day holy by resting, as Brother Paul mentioned, wouldn't your own family's assembly in your own home be the "convocation" referred to here?

Let start in...Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Now lets move further in the future and see who this child is...Lets go into Matthew 1: 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 1:22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 1:24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 1:25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

Lets continue...2:1Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2:2Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 2:3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 2:4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. 2:5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 2:6And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

Jesus only finish half of what the prophets spoke of him to do. Lets take a look at what Jesus did and what he will do at his second coming. Lets go into Isaiah 61: 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 61:2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, Lets take another look at it in Luke 4: 14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 4:15And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
4:16And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 4:17And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 4:19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.


Now...notice it was Jesus custom to attend church on the Sabbath day, which on the seventh day of the week (Saturday, then and now) also notice Jesus cut off the other part we about to read in Isaiah...the second coming of Jesus... and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

But today we have an government within a government, which is the ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIGION. Now, who is the "Vicar of Christ" the pope. Calling the pope the "Vicar of Christ" implies that he has the same power and authority that Christ had over the church. In claiming that the pope is the “Vicar of Christ,” the Catholic Church rejects the sufficiency and supremacy of Christ’s priesthood, and grants to the pope roles that Christ Himself declared would belong to the Holy Spirit. It is therefore blasphemy to ascribe to the pope the title of “Vicar of Christ.” As we move closer to prophecy, this church will very powerful for short period of time.
 
Do we also follow the rest of Levitical law, or just that one?

At any rate, synagogues had/have daily services. I don't think we should assume that a "holy convocation" is a law for everyone to "go to church." All the fourth commandment says is to keep the day holy by resting, as Brother Paul mentioned, wouldn't your own family's assembly in your own home be the "convocation" referred to here?

The only thing you do not follow is the law that was added. Paul explain this in (Gal. 3:1, 13, 16-17, 19, 24) (v.1) O FOOLISH Ga-la’-tians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? (v.13) Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, CURSED IS EVERYONE THAT HANGETH ON A TREE: What law is this talking about? Let the bible speak for itself. (v.16) Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, and to seeds, as of many; but as of One, AND TO THY SEED, which is Christ. (v.17) And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. Now pay attention, the law that is being spoken of here came four hundred and thirty years after this covenant. But God’s holy commandments have been around forever even before man was created. Remember that Satan was kicked out of heaven because iniquity (sin) was found in him. And what is sin? The transgression of the law (commandments). (v.19) Wherefore then serveth the law? A question is being asked here. Then why should we serve this law? It was added because of transgression, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; the law that we are talking about here was added because of sin. But we now know that sin is the transgression of the law. How do you add a law if sin is the transgression of the law? Because there are two sets of laws, you have God’s holy commandments which abided forever, and you had the animal sacrificial law which was added because of sin, but it was only good until the seed should come to whom the promise was made, and that seed was Jesus. (v.24) Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. This animal sacrificial law was only a schoolmaster. And this schoolmaster taught you that when you sinned in ignorance blood had to be shed (an animal sacrificed). But Christ being the ultimate sacrifice shed his precious blood once and for all, and by doing this putting an end to the animal sacrificial law.
