Substitute and Satisfaction were part of the Old Testament requirement in the Passover. On the tenth day of the first month, the Hebrews shred a one year male lamb without any defect found in Ex. 12. They put the blood on the exterior door post. So when angel of the Lord pass throughout the land Egypt to pass judgement on the Egyptians by killing oldest sons and the cattle throughout country. When the angel saw the blood on the post he spared the family within the household, and Passover it. And struck down the oldest son and cattle that did not have the blood on the post. The lamb was substituted that took Israelite place. The blood on post meant God was satisfied spared the family.
When Adam and Eve fell into sin why did God wait 4,000 years to sent His Son to take mankind place, why not send Jesus after when Adam and Eve fell into sin to avoid the senseless slaughter millions or even billions of animals?
If bulls, goats, and lambs were needed and impossible for blood bulls and goats to take away sin; why enacts this system just have Jesus when man fell into sins? Since the cattle did not violate God’s law why bear mankind punishment that violated God’s moral code? The short answer is God needed established a sacrificial system and the moral law a guild line.
Because of this, elaborated system in which God lay down for Israelite a blood atonement was required to atone for our sins, as scripture state for without shredding of blood it was impossible forgive sins. Furthermore the Bible states,” For the [life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls. For example, when cut yourself you start bleeding it foam clog so infection and blood lost will not occur. Than blood vessel open up create white cell in which healing occurs.
The sacrificial system was foreshadowed of thing to come a better sacrifice would take it place for two reasons; One without shredding blood there would be no forgiveness and it was impossible for blood bulls and goats to take away sin, because mankind was more valuable than sheep.
Throughout the Old Testament they’re, many types of Christ, for example the who committed no sin animal took Adam and Eve place when they fell into sin, the lamb found in bush took Isaac place instead Isaac being sacrifice took it place . A heifer took the place of unsolved murder even thou heifer did not commit the murder it require by law that sacrifice was required .

The oldest son was held in highest esteem, and A Jewish household would’ve a special ritual for the first born male.

The sacrificial system is where animals is offered to God for the payment of mankind sin. A commentary stated these words, “The burnt offerings are actually ascension offerings that ascend up into the presence of God. They represent the concept that one’s offerings to the Lord are totally consumed and surrendered unto Him.” During the old testament era, the sacrificial system was meant atoning the Israelite for their sins. It’s shame many of the Israelites misunderstood the sacrificial system As commentary stated, “ This is exactly where the Israelites of Isaiah’s day were failing. In many ways, they were still acknowledging the outward trappings and legal ceremonies of the sacrificial system without any real heart for the things of God. Therefore, their various religious trappings are condemned severely as the prophet speaks for God Himself. “ Yet, another quote said bests’“ You can be a member of a church and hotly resent the things of the Spirit. You may be very interested in religious organizations, in religious activities, in denominations, in activities of your particular church, and so on, but it may have nothing to do with minding the things of the Spirit. Indeed, as I say, it can be the greatest enemy of such things.” To atones for our sins, to me these selves righteous hypocrite lives in more bondage and was worst off than a harlot.

Also says in, Hebrew 9; 22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
