Ever Given: THE BLOOD of The Everlasting Covenant
For seven days around the time of PASSOVER this year the world watched the spectacle of a massive container ship called “Ever Given” stuck in the Red sea.
This was not a maritime accident/ incident. It was a Divine sign announcing THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST to the world, saying: “Now THE BLOOD shall be a sign for you.. ” (Exodus 12:13) to turn from Babylon to THE BLOOD. For the Babylonian system will soon grind to a halt, stuck and destroyed.
The massive size, the name and the situation (site) of that ship in the Red sea were all arranged by GOD to preach THE BLOOD OF CHRIST our PASSOVER LAMB, yes, THE BLOOD of The Everlasting Covenant — that “I have given It on The Altar [THE CROSS] to make atonement for the soul.” (Leviticus 17:11).
In other words, THE BLOOD OF JESUS is Ever Given as THE BLOOD of The Everlasting Covenant, (Hebrews 13:20).
For seven days, the Ever Given was stuck in the Red sea.
The Red sea metaphorically represents THE BLOOD OF JESUS where our sins are cast, drowned and destroyed forever. GLORY TO GOD in The Highest!!
“He will again have compassion on us, and will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our sins Into the depths of the sea.” Micah 7:19.
And seven (days) indicate completion. (PASSOVER is celebrated for seven days — see Exodus 12). Thus, THE LORD used the Ever Given in the Red sea to say to us and the world: “IT IS FINISHED!” “Come, for all things are now ready.“ (John 19:30; Luke 14:17).
He who has an ear, let him hear what THE SPIRIT says to the churches.
Egypt’s Pharaoh and his army in their chariots were stuck and destroyed in the Red sea. (Egypt is a metaphor for the world). The container ship (the length of four soccer pitches) showed the scale of the world’s consumerist indulgence, soon to be destroyed like Pharaoh and his army.
In other words, jump ship — the world’s ship headed for destruction now, and get into The Boat of The Captain of our Salvation, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. NOW!
“After these things I saw another angel coming down from Heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” And I heard another voice from Heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to Heaven, and GOD has remembered her iniquities. Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ Therefore her plagues will come in one day — death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is THE LORD GOD Who judges her. “The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’ “ And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore: merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men. The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all. The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls! For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.’ Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like this great city?’ “ They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate.’ “Rejoice over her, O Heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for GOD has avenged you on her!” Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore.” ” Revelation 18:1-21.
“Therefore “Come out from among them And be separate, says THE LORD. Do not touch what is unclean, and I will receive you.” 2 Corinthians 6:17.
Brethren, the waters are increasingly very turbulent; it is a very precarious time to be very vigilant.
At PASSOVER, some believers are preaching the genes-changing, and DNA-damaging Covid vaccines for health instead of THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST!
They are preaching the world instead of THE CROSS of our LORD JESUS CHRIST!
“But GOD forbid that I should boast except in THE CROSS of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, by Whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.” Galatians 6:14.
THE BLOOD is Ever Given on THE CROSS as GOD’s Perfect Solution of Life to man’s death problem.
The world’s system and solutions will get stuck and destroyed. BUT THE CROSS OF CHRIST will will keep us afloat and plain sailing on even keel to berth at The Shores of Heaven and disembark on The Sea of Glass before THE THRONE OF GOD.
Depending on the things of the world is clutching at straws. Hold fast to THE CROSS! THE CROSS! THE CROSS!
Nothing but THE CROSS!
“The LORD Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.” 2 Timothy 4:22.

As John was, Jacob is the disciple whom JESUS loves, (John 13:23;19:26; 20:2; 21:7,20). And like Paul, Jacob is “the prisoner of CHRIST JESUS” (Ephesians 3:1) for His Purpose forever: to obey Him always.
“And having been perfected, He became The Author of Eternal Salvation to all who obey Him,” Hebrews 5:9.
Thank you for a powerful and timely word. Amen!
