For this reason. "Because the blood of Christ is so much greater than the blood of animals." Christ is the one. "He is the High Priest who hands out the blessings of the New Covenant; and the sacrifice who makes the New Covenant possible by his bloody death!" See Hebrews 8:6-8 and notes. May receive. Does this mean that Abraham, Isaac, etc., were still under the sentence of "sin and death" until God acted in Christ??? No, but their forgiveness was based upon what Christ would do. God's mercy, all the way from extending the life of guilty Adam, to the end of time itself, is based upon the ONE ACT in Christ!!! A death which sets men free. "All the animals who died on Jewish altars could not set men free. The death of God's Son does set men free!!!" Compare Hebrews 11:39-40.
