Isaiah 1:18
King James Version
18 Come now,
and let us reason together,
saith the Lord:
though your sins be as scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson,
they shall be as wool.
It truly is a paradox.
How the LORD's blood can cleanse and wash us from all sin.
Though our sins "be as scarlet", they shall be "as white as snow".
Though they be "red like crimson, they shall be "as wool".
Only through the blood of JESUS can we be cleansed from all sin, and unrighteousness.
1 John 1:7
King James Version
7 But if we walk in the light,
as he is in the light,
we have fellowship one with another,
and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son
cleanseth us from all sin.
Not through the blood of animal sacrifice:
Isaiah 1:11
King James Version
11 To what purpose
is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me?
saith the Lord:
I am full of the burnt offerings of rams,
and the fat of fed beasts;
and I delight not in the blood of bullocks,
or of lambs,
or of he goats.
Because our hands are full of blood.
Isaiah 1:15
King James Version
15 And when ye spread forth your hands,
I will hide mine eyes from you:
yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear:
your hands are full of blood.
In the end times, GOD's wrath will cause much blood to pour.
Revelation 14:18-20
King James Version
18 And another angel came out from the altar,
which had power over fire;
and cried with a loud cry
to him that had the sharp sickle, saying,
Thrust in thy sharp sickle,
and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth;
for her grapes are fully ripe.
19 And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth,
and gathered the vine of the earth,
and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.
20 And the winepress was trodden without the city,
and blood came out of the winepress,
even unto the horse bridles,
by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
When JESUS returns, He shall be clothed this way:
Revelation 19:13
King James Version
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood:
and his name is called The Word of God.
His armies will be in white.
Revelation 19:13-16
King James Version
14 And the armies which were in heaven
followed him upon white horses,
clothed in fine linen,
white and clean.
He shall have a sword to "smite the nations", causing more blood to pour.
Revelation 19:13-16
King James Version
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword,
that with it he should smite the nations:
and he shall rule them with a rod of iron:
and he treadeth the winepress
of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh
a name written,
King Of Kings,
And Lord Of Lords.
It's really time to turn away from our sins now.
For the day is at hand.
Mark 1:15
King James Version
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled,
and the kingdom of God is at hand:
repent ye, and believe the gospel.
