Завет благодати: Христос, окончательное искупление

Центральной точкой всего этого рассказа и апогеем истории Божьего взаимодействия с человечеством после Адама было искупление греха, совершённое Христом на Голгофском кресте. За 700 лет до этого Исайя пророчествовал об этом окончательном искуплении, этой окончательной кровавой жертве, так: «Он изъязвлен был за грехи наши и мучим за беззакония наши; наказание мира нашего было на Нём, и ранами Его мы исцелились. Все мы блуждали, как овцы, совратились каждый на свою дорогу: и Господь возложил на Него грехи всех нас» (Исайя 53:5-6).

Это был окончательный Новый Завет Бога, изменивший историю мира. Теперь не было ни иудея, ни язычника, ибо все одно во Христе Иисусе. Через Христа язычники верой привились к роду Адама, и Авраам стал по вере их отцом. Больше не было необходимости приносить в жертву животных, так как Христос совершил окончательное искупление греха. Больше не нужно было находиться в рабстве закона, потому что нас освобождает Его благодать во Христе Иисусе. Грехи всего рода человеческого покрываются только верой в Сына Божия, Иисуса Христа. Когда настала полнота времени, Бог послал Сына Своего, чтобы искупить находившихся под законом и принять верующих язычников в род Адама как «сынов Божиих». «Достоин Ты взять книгу и снять с нее печати, ибо Ты был заклан, и Кровью Своею искупил нас Богу из всякого колена и языка, и народа и племени» (Откровение 5:9).

Strong’s concordance translates it either way. For the purpose of this discussion, it doesn’t matter, as neither a sea mammal or sea reptile fit within the Linnean category of fish.
