The Life is in The Blood
Medical scientists claim that the cycle of blood through the human body begins in the heart. They say the heart pumps the blood out of the heart and into the body where it supplies oxygen and nutrients, but also collecting waste. Once it gets back to the heart, it then goes to the lungs where it excretes the waste and fills with more oxygen before being sent back to the heart again. But that's not true. . .not according to the Bible anyway!
When Adam was formed, he lay there LIFELESS until the Holy Spirit breathed the Breath of LIFE into his nostrils. With that first breath, oxygen rich blood left the arteries in Adam's LUNGS (FIRST) and travelled TO the heart where it was then pumped out to the body! It's the same process when a baby is born into the world. . .in the womb, a baby's heart is beating but its neonatal lungs are not yet working and therefore a “stint” blocks the heart from pumping blood into the lungs. Oxygen is supplied by the mother through the amniotic fluid found in the placenta and umbilical cord, which the baby absorbs by "drinking" it in small amounts. This oxygen rich amniotic fluid is what sustains the baby’s life and enables it to grow until it is able to breath on its own. It’s interesting to note that during this incredible exchange, the mother’s blood never comes in contact with that of the fetus. This said. . .
When a baby is born, it has roughly 10 seconds
in which to take its first breath!
Within that 10 seconds there are very traumatic changes going on in the baby's heart and lungs. This transformation happens in a series of rapid responses triggered by the baby’s passage through the birth canal. First, the cells responsible for secreting fluid in the fetus's lungs start absorbing this fluid the second the baby is born, removing the liquid to make room for incoming oxygen. The lungs are then immediately transitioned to be filled with air. This first breath can be so strong and dramatic that, in some cases, it can burst a hole in one, or both of a baby's delicate lungs. This first inflation of the lungs greatly decreases the pressure and resistance to blood flow into the lungs. The low pressure invites blood pumping out of the right ventricle to reroute toward the neonatal lungs. . .NOT out and through the body, but to the lungs first! That first Breathe of Life that the baby takes must be incorporated into the blood before it can be delivered to the body. . .there is no continuance of LIFE without that first BREATH. In pregnancy the fetus only enjoys LIFE while directly connected to its source of physical life, which is the mother. However, LIFE cannot be transmitted by proxy; which means the newly born baby will need to secure his or her own source of LIFE in order to become a living soul.
As we know, the fall of Adam and Eve caused Spiritual death to enter the world. Hence, Jesus's words to Nicodemus, “You must be born again. . .except a man be born of water AND the Spirit it is impossible to enter into the Kingdom of God”, for God is the only true source of LIFE in the Spirit world.
If I be lifted up from the earth. . .
The second chapter of the Book of Hebrews tells us some rather interesting details regarding the nature of Our Saviors Blood. Firstly, Jesus was made in the likeness of men (i.e., flesh and blood), “that through DEATH, He might destroy him that has the power of death, that is, the devil.” The blood type of a fetus, whether it be A+ or B+ or O- etc., is determined by both the mother and father’s DNA. As such, the DNA of Jesus came from the SEED of not only David and Abraham (through Mary), but also of Adam, the son of God (see Luke chapter 3). Well do we know that the Seed of the Father is Eternal Life, yet Romans 8:3-4 says that Jesus was made in the likeness of sinful flesh, that is fallen man. Our Savior knew full well that until His blood was shed, all of humanity would remain dead in trespasses and sins. There could be NO RESURRECTION FROM DEATH. . .no BREATH OF ETERNAL LIFE from which the NEW CREATION is born without the shedding of His own precious Blood. The Blood which had been confined to His Body, was loosed by death, then shed abroad to all who would believe.
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die,
it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”
John 12:24
“And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me.
This He said, signifying what death He should die.”
John 12:33
On the day of Pentecost, these words of the Psalmist rang truer than ever. . .
“Thou hidest Thy face, they are troubled:
Thou takest away their breath,
they die, and return to their dust.
Thou sendest forth Thy Spirit, they are created:
and Thou renewest the face of the earth.”
Psalm 104:29 & 30
Even today we sing. . .
Breathe on me, O Breath of God!
So shall I never die,
But live with you the perfect life,
For all eternity.
The Blood of Adam
Now, the first occurrence of the word "blood" in the Bible is found in Genesis 4:10.
"And He said, 'What has thou done? The VOICE
of thy brothers BLOOD crieth unto Me from the GROUND'."
The Hebrew word for BLOOD is "dam" (דְּמֵי) which in the Strong's Concordance is [H1818]
18 is the numeric value of the Hebrew word for LIFE (chai / חַי)
The Hebrew word for GROUND is "adama" (אֲדָמָה)
The English here is rather telling!
ADAMA >>> ADAM >>> DAM
Ground >>> Adam >>> Blood
ADAMA
ADAM
A DAM A
“Adama” is Strong’s Concordance number [H127]
127 = The Adam "Tetraset"
This means the standard + ordinal values of Adam in Hebrew [אָדָם]
(+) the standard + ordinal values of Adam in Greek [Ἀδάμ]
(45 + 18) + (46 + 18) = 127
127 is the value of the following phrases in Hebrew:
KING OF GLORY (מֶלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד) (Psalm 24:10)
THE HEART OF THE KING (לֵב הַמֶּלֶךְ) (Esther 1:10)
Some related multiples of 127 are. . .
127 x 9 = 1143
1143 is the value of the following:
THE GLORY OF THE LORD (ῆ δόξα κύριού) [root words]
TO GLORY / BOAST [in the Lord] (καυχάομαι) [G2744]
127 x 11 = 1397
1397 is the value of:
THE GLORY OF GOD [root words]
ῆ δόξα τοῦ θεοῦ
"Let them give GLORY unto the LORD,
and give Him praise in the islands" (Isaiah 42:12)
יָשִׂימוּ לַיהוָה כָּבוֹד וּתְהִלָּתוֹ בָּאִיִּים יַגִּידוּ
"He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows,
and acquainted with grief" (Isaiah 53:3)
נִבְזֶה וַחֲדַל אִישִׁים אִישׁ מַכְאֹבוֹת וִידוּעַ חֹלִי
and. . .
"The Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour" (Isaiah 43:3)
קְדוֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל מוֹשִׁיעֶךָ
The Breath of Life
The phrase "breathed the breath of life"
(וַיִּפַּח נִשְׁמַת חַיִּים) has a standard value of 962
962 is the value of the following:
"Lamed: Forever, O Lord, Thy word is settled in heaven" (Psalm 119:89)
לְעוֹלָם יְהוָה דְּבָרְךָ נִצָּב בַּשָּׁמָיִם
as well as. . .
"The former things" (Isaiah 42:9)
הָרִאשֹׁנוֹת
The Precious Blood of Jesus
ῆ τίμιος αἷμα Χριστοῦ
1 Peter 1:19
The numeric value of this phrase [root words] has a value of 2370
BLOOD in Greek is αἷμα (aye-mah) [G129]
α ἷμ α
The letter Alpha has a value of ONE
Separating the alpha's like we did with the a’s in the word “adama”
. . .this Precious Blood has a value of 2368
2370 - 2 = 2368
2368 is the value of Iesous Christos (Ιησους Χριστος)

The shedding of the Precious Blood of Jesus is the what makes Resurrection Life possible.
Only His Blood can redeem from sin,
because sin found man IN LIFE and brought him to death,
but the Blood of Christ. . .which is Eternal Life. . .finding man IN DEATH,
brought man to LIFE. . .a life in which he is reconciled to God.
The Apostle Paul said it like this,
“. . .if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,
He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken (make alive)
your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.”
