The House of Caiaphas and The Mystery of The Hikrib

Tuesday, February 14, 2023

Messiah was brought to the house of Caiaphas, the Sanhedrin, into the dominion and jurisdiction of the priest of Israel. In ancient Israel, when a sacrifice was offered up, there was a procedure to be followed. The first part was called the Hikrib, from a Hebrew word which means close or near. Hikrib means the bringing near of the sacrifice into the dominion of the priest. You had to give the sacrifice to the priest. Therefore Messiah, as the sacrifice, had to be brought to the house of Caiaphas, just as the sacrifice had to be brought to the dominion of the priest - the Hikrib. In the same way, you need to bring Messiah near to every part of your life, near to your hearts, near to your sin, near to your emotions, near to your past, near to your wounds, your secret things, your dreams, everything. The whole point is the sacrifice has to be brought near. Bring Messiah near, because that is when it counts.
