“The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for the LORD hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Idumea.”
Isaiah 34:6 KJV
As Isaiah prophesied, the Lord Yahweh has a judgment-sword dripping with blood. It is smeared with fat, dripping with the blood of lambs and goats, and covered with the fat of ram’s kidneys. Lord Yahweh has a sacrifice in Bozrah and a great slaughter in the land of Edom. Bozrah was the capital of Edom and means ‘sheepfold’. It is Busaira in Jordan which was Idumea in Jesus’s life on earth. The sacrifice the Lord offered in the sheepfold points to the supreme sacrifice of Jesus, the Lamb of God. No sacrifice can compare to this. Let’s thank God that we can approach boldly to the Almighty God’s throne based on this supreme sacrifice. Amen!
