He Was Wounded for Our Transgressions

 

With His Stripes We Are Healed

 

HEADLINE

Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

 

Jesus Christ was the Lamb of God.  Father picked one son to be His Champion.  If Jesus resists sin and defeats devils in his lifetime, and offers himself as a blood sacrifice for the sins of mankind, Father will free all men from punishment for sin.  In dying, Jesus will save all the children from the penalty of death.  God chose one son for this act inasmuch as the penalty of death was imposed upon mankind by the failure of one son, Adam.

 

Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 17 For if by one man's offence, death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

 

2 Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

 

In the Old Testament under the Law of Moses and Priesthood of Levi, the Atonement Day was an annual event in which the high priest would confess the sins of all the people on a “scapegoat” and let it go free into the wilderness bearing all those sins.  A second goat would be sacrificed as a burnt offering to God for the sins of the people.  This goat would be killed and its blood sprinkled about the altar in the process.

 

We have learned that “sin is a demon” and all of them are roaming free in the pit of hell to attack whoever they can claim.  So God planned to have Jesus become His Lamb and sacrifice him for the sins of all mankind.

 

Isaiah 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 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. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

 

What this actually means is NOW no man can be charged and punished for sin in any generation of mankind.  Neither man, devil, nor angel can bring charges against any man in any generation that he lived on Earth.  ONE MAN took the penalty and punishment that might have happened to human victims of sin.  “The Lord hath laid upon him the iniquity of us all.  But he was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities”.  God so loved the world that He gave his Son, Jesus, as His Atonement Lamb”.  Now not even the “watching angels” can bring charges against mankind even when they “see them in the very act of sin”!  I am not kidding you!  What do you get from this incident involving a woman caught in adultery and Father’s Lamb while he was alive?

 

John 8:2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. 3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

 

Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

 

Jesus was Father’s Lamb to remove the sins of all men “dead or alive” and those not yet born.  He was alive in this incident with the woman caught in adultery.  Even the “watching angels” have to do like Jesus did.  We cannot charge men for sin, nor convict them for being enslaved by devils.  The chastisement of our peace was upon Jesus and by his stripes we are healed.  Jesus was wounded for the transgressions of all men to come in later generations of humanity.  So do not be offended “if men do not get what they deserve” and seem to escape punishment.  Jesus took away that person’s sins and felt the whiplashes for every human born in the pit of hell.

 

Devils say, “That is not fair”?  We have to bear the full cost of sin and be burned for it, but Jesus is REDEEMING all of humanity, whoever is born on Earth in all generations of men?  By doing this ALL MEN CANNOT be burned in the lake of fire and executed to “be no more” along with devils.  As you can see Jesus is a “BIG DEAL” for God as Supreme Judge.  Since “all of man’s sins are upon Jesus”, how do we get human sins off Jesus and place them on the heads of devils?  Good question!  Glad you asked!  As you know Father made Jesus a “priest after the Order of Melchizedek”.  It is appropriate that he could rightfully participate in God’s real Atonement process.  We get that he took away the sins of the world upon himself.  How do we get all those sins transferred to the real sinners, the demons called the “powers of darkness”.  Now that you asked!

 

Genesis 4:5-7, New English Bible (or NEB)

"The Lord received Abel and his gift with favor; But Cain and his gift the Lord did not receive. Cain was very angry and his face fell. Then the Lord said to Cain, Why are you so angry and cast down? If you do well you are accepted; if not SIN IS A DEMON crouching at the door. It shall be eager for you, and you will be mastered by it".

 

The Supreme Judge’s Decision:

 

Enoch 10:8 And the whole earth has been corrupted 9 through the works that were taught by Azazel: to him ascribe all sin.' And to Gabriel said the Lord: 'Proceed against the bastards and the reprobates, and against the children of fornication: and destroy [the children of fornication and] the children of the Watchers from amongst men: [and cause them to go forth]: send them one against the other that they may destroy each other in 10 battle: for length of days shall they not have. And no request that they (i.e. their fathers) make of thee shall be granted unto their fathers on their behalf; for they hope to live an eternal life, and 11 that each one of them will live five hundred years.'

 

1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

 

Come on man!  You are dallying and keeping us in suspense.   How do the sins get off Jesus and “confessed upon the scapegoats running loose in the “wilderness of sin” or bottomless pit!  You are a persistent crowd.  Well, Father-God chose His “last-born son” to confess all those sins Jesus took upon himself and place them upon the heads of the kingdom of devils.  This man is also the last priest and doing so is part of his job-description:

 

Jeremiah 50:43 The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: anguish took hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in travail. 44 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan unto the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me? 45 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them. 46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.

 

Jeremiah 51:20 Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; 21 And with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider; 22 With thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid; 23 I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers. 24 And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, saith the LORD.

 

Revelation 18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double. 7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. 8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

 

Psalms 91:9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

 

It is not God’s plan to destroy the innocent with the guilty “sinners”.  So He as Supreme Judge sets the the order in His own Court.

 

Malachi 3:5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. 6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

 

Revelation 18:20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her. 21 And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

 

Revelation 19:19 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. 20 And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

 

Isaiah 14:21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities. 22 For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the LORD.
