The blood of the Lamb Jesus is the most powerful weapon to overcome and defeat the devil. Revelation 12:11 says And they overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb (Jesus), and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Pictured above we see that the children of God in Egypt believed that the blood of the Lamb Jesus on their door would protect them from the angel of death and any plague. God blessed the children of God in Egypt and caused the angel of death to pass over their houses when that angel saw the blood of the Lamb Jesus.
But the angel of death killed the firstborn children of the Egyptians because the Egyptians did not have the blood of the Lamb Jesus on their doors. Exodus 12:13 says And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
I pray in Jesus name that anyone reading this bible study will tell the devils daily that I am crucified with Jesus Christ according to Galatians 2:20. While you look by faith with your heart at Jesus Christ crucified daily say with Jesus' stripes I am healed according to Isaiah 53:5. Then ask the angels of God to daily in Jesus name send the blood of Jesus over yourself, your home, car, and anywhere you travel. Finally tell the devils daily that the blood of Jesus that is the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever according to Hebrews 13:8 has overcome and defeated the devils.
The blood of Jesus will protect people from any plague. Psalm 91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
The blood of Jesus is our greatest protection against the devils and this wicked world. Get saved with Jesus and overcome the devils and any trouble in this world. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. 1 John 5:11 promises that Jesus will give you eternal life. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
Pictured above we see that when the angel of death in Egypt saw the blood of the Lamb Jesus on the Jews' houses, the angel of death had to pass over that house and the Jews lived. But the firstborn children in the Egyptians' houses were killed by the angel of death because there was no blood of the Lamb Jesus on the Egyptians' houses. The blood of Jesus is important to God and we must respect the blood of Jesus. God only looks to see if a person is covered by the blood of the Lamb Jesus when God's judgment comes to destroy sin.
The angel of death did not come by each house and say knock knock, Does Moses live here? Does Pharaoh live here? Does a Jew live here? Does an Egyptian live here? Are you black? Are you white? Are you Baptist, Methodist, or Catholic? What are you? Friends in any nation, it's not what you are. It's if the blood of the Lamb Jesus is on your door and body by faith that will save you from the devils, death, and any plague. God's Word says at Exodus 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for a token (sign) upon the houses where you are: and when I see the blood (of the Lamb Jesus) (not a person's race, country, riches, or religious denomination), I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
The bible tells us at Exodus 12:29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
Notice that the only Egyptians that went to heaven were the firstborn Egyptian babies and children. Jesus promised that little children before they can understand to choose Jesus and innocent babies will live peacefully in heaven forevermore. Matthew 19:14 says But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. Tell that abortion crowd that they're just filling heaven with little roses that'll bloom for ever in the kingdom of God.
Pharaoh and the Egyptians told God, Why are you so cruel and mean, killing our firstborn sons? God told Pharaoh and the Egyptians, Don't blame God. Look at the blood of the Lamb Jesus on the Jews' houses. Pharaoh, Egyptians, all you had to do for your firstborn children to live was to put the blood of the Lamb Jesus on your doors. The angel of death would have passed over your houses if you put the blood of the Lamb Jesus on your doors.
Notice that it was the blood of the Lamb Jesus that was the difference between the Jews and the Egyptians. The blood of the Lamb Jesus on the Jews' doors gave them life. No blood of the Lamb Jesus on the Egyptians' doors gave them death. Exodus 11:7 tells us But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the Lord doth put a difference (this difference was the blood of the Lamb Jesus) between the Egyptians and Israel.
Notice how important it is to respect the blood of the Lamb Jesus to receive life and escape the troubles of this wicked world. This is why Psalm 2:12 says Kiss the Son (Jesus), lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him. Because God respects the blood of Jesus highly that removes sin, we must also respect the blood of Jesus to avoid God's wrath and judgment when sin is destroyed.
The bible tells us that great punishment is given to people who count the blood of the Lamb Jesus as an unholy thing. Hebrews 10:29 says Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the spirit of grace? For we know Him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge His people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Remember friends everywhere, Jesus is no respecter of persons. The Egyptians like the Jews could have placed the blood of the Lamb Jesus on their doors by faith and lived. Today any person in any nation can come to Jesus and live after salvation. Get saved, repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died on the cross for you, was buried, and rose again. Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
One day God's going to tell sinners in hell who rejected Jesus, don't complain to me and say my punishment is greater than I can bear. Don't holler to me about how unfair I am. Just look at my Son Jesus hanging out yonder on the cross of Calvary shedding his blood for sinners. You could have accepted the Lord Jesus and let the blood of the Lamb Jesus cover and remove all your sins.
To close out today's bible study, let's see how valuable the blood of the Lamb Jesus is to God. You might say what does the picture above saying 70x7 tell us. To understand the meaning of 70x7, let's look at some bible scriptures that use the numbers 70 and 7.
First, let's look at what happened to Cain after he slew Abel. Genesis 4:15 says And the Lord said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. God said 7 fold vengeance would be taken against anyone who slayed and shed Cain's blood.
And five generations later, another man named Lamech slew a man to his wounding, and another young man to his hurt. After Lamech killed these two men, Lamech told his two wives, if Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold. Genesis 4:23 says And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt. If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold. God said 77 fold vengeance would be taken against anyone who slayed and shed Lamech's blood.
Peter asked Jesus at Matthew 18:21, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. Notice how valuable the shed blood of Cain, Lamech, and especially the Lord Jesus is to God. But God values and respects the blood of the Lamb Jesus 7 times more than Lamech's blood and 70 times more than Cain's blood. Friends, like God, we also need to respect the blood of Jesus that has cleansed us from all our sins.
Notice that Jesus said to forgive 70x7 instead having 70+7 vengeance against your enemies. The multiplied forgiveness of 70x7=490 blessings to our enemies with Jesus is greater than the 70+7=77 vengeance under the law. Romans 10:4 says For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth. The vengeance under the law was only a schoolmaster to reveal sin and bring sinners to Jesus by faith. Galatians 3:24 says Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. After salvation with Jesus we forgive our enemies 70x7 (seventy times seven) instead of returning 70+7 (seventy and sevenfold) vengeance.
I pray in Jesus name that anyone reading this bible study will tell the devils daily that I am crucified with Jesus Christ according to Galatians 2:20. While you look by faith with your heart at Jesus Christ crucified daily say with Jesus' stripes I am healed according to Isaiah 53:5. Then ask the angels of God to daily in Jesus name send the blood of Jesus over yourself, your home, car, and anywhere you travel. Finally tell the devils daily that the blood of Jesus that is the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever according to Hebrews 13:8 has overcome and defeated the devils.
The blood of Jesus will protect people from any plague. Psalm 91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Why Did Jesus Say To Forgive 70x7?
To close out today's bible study, let's see how valuable the blood of the Lamb Jesus is to God. You might say what does the picture above saying 70x7 tell us. To understand the meaning of 70x7, let's look at some bible scriptures that use the numbers 70 and 7.

After Lamech killed these two men, Lamech told his two wives, if Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold. Genesis 4:23 says And Lamech said unto his wives, Adah and Zillah, Hear my voice, ye wives of Lamech, hearken unto my speech: for I have slain a man to my wounding, and a young man to my hurt. If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and sevenfold. God said 77 fold vengeance would be taken against anyone who slayed and shed Lamech's blood.
Peter asked Jesus at Matthew 18:21, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. Notice how valuable the shed blood of Cain, Lamech, and especially the Lord Jesus is to God. But God values and respects the blood of the Lamb Jesus 7 times more than Lamech's blood and 70 times more than Cain's blood. Friends, like God, we also need to respect the blood of Jesus that has cleansed us from all our sins.
Notice that Jesus said to forgive 70x7 instead having 70+7 vengeance against your enemies. The multiplied forgiveness of 70x7=490 blessings to our enemies with Jesus is greater than the 70+7=77 vengeance under the law. Romans 10:4 says For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth. The vengeance under the law was only a schoolmaster to reveal sin and bring sinners to Jesus by faith. Galatians 3:24 says Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. After salvation with Jesus we forgive our enemies 70x7 (seventy times seven) instead of returning 70+7 (seventy and sevenfold) vengeance.
Jesus said at Luke 6:27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. Respect the blood of Jesus and receive life because Hebrews 2:3 says How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard Him.
Why Does The Blood Of Jesus Speak Better Things Than The Blood Of Abel?
The blood of Jesus that speaks about forgiveness of sin and love to our enemies is greater than the blood of Abel, Cain, and Lamech that speak about vengeance to our enemies under the law. 1 John 1:7 tells us how the blood of Jesus cleanses, forgives, and removes sin. But if we walk in the light, as He (Jesus) is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin. Therefore we can rejoice and say Hebrews 12:24. And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling (Jesus' precious blood shed at the cross of Calvary), that speaketh better things than that of Abel. After Cain killed his brother Abel, Abel's blood cried out for vengeance (Genesis 4:10). But Jesus' blood speaks better things than Abel's blood and tells us to have mercy and forgiveness to everyone (even our worst enemies) forgiving 70x7.
The Lord Jesus' instruction to forgive 70x7 (490 times) is understood to be a symbolic call to limitless forgiveness rather than a literal mathematical cap. 70x7 forgiveness for 490 times is a number intended to be beyond human tracking. Jesus used this figure to suggest that if you are keeping a tally, you haven't truly forgiven. The goal is to lose count rather than to keep score. In Jesus time, some religious leaders taught that one only needed to forgive three times. By offering a large number like 490, Jesus moved the conversation from a legalistic rule (how much is required) to a blessed principle of unlimited grace.
Hebrew words have numerical values with alphanumeric meanings called Gematria. The numerical value for the Hebrew word tamim that means perfect, complete, or finished is 490. This links the number 490 directly to the concept of a perfect or finished forgiveness that holds no grudges. Christians should extend forgiveness to others as abundantly as they have received it from the Lord Jesus.
I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength.
