“They Condemn The Innocent Blood”

Reference: Psalms Chapter 94

Israel was the Church of that day. Out of Israel came Jesus Christ, and out of Christ came the Church today.

The wicked one (the Devil) persecuted Abel, the major and minor prophets, Christ, the Disciples, Stephen,Paul, and any martyr for the cause of Christ.

He persecutes and condemns innocent blood (the Church) even today.

The Psalmist questions how long?

Let’s read:

Psalm 94:1-4 “O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself. [2] Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. [3] LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? [4] How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?”

This was the question also asked by the persecuted saints.

Revelation 6:9-11 “And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: [10] And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? [11] And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.”

Just a little season to gather His harvest.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 94:5-13 “They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. [6] They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. [7] Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. [8] Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise? [9] He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see? [10] He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? [11] The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. [12] Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law; [13] That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.”

There is one place for the wicked, and that is the pit.

Revelation 20:1-3 “And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. [2] And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, [3] And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.”

Satan will be bound a thousand years. He is allowed to persecute innocent blood today until the Lord gathers all His people.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 94:14 “For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.”

None redeemed by the Father will be lost.

John 6:37,39 “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. [39] And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.”

Like Christ resurrected, every believer will resurrect, and there is nothing Satan can do about it.

We continue our reading:

Psalm 94:15-21 “But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. [16] Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? [17] Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. [18] When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. [19] In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. [20] Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? [21] They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.”

The Lord allowed the innocent blood of the Righteous Jesus Christ condemned so that the world may have life.

Life only comes out of blood. Before any cell, tissue, or organ was formed in the body, it was simply blood.

Eternal life came out of the Blood of God the Son. Our new body (glorified body) is already prepared because it came out of the Blood of God the Son.

God allowed the shedding of the innocent blood of His Son so that every Believer will have life out of the Blood.

We conclude our reading:

Psalm 94:22-23 “But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. [23] And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.”

The Lord uses the wicked one (the Devil) for His own purposes.

Let the Blood of the Son of God be transfused to you. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. His shed innocent blood is the source of all new life,in Christ!
