There is no hopeless dilemma.

The Word of God is Truth.

Indeed there will be animal sacrifices during the Millennium, during the Millennial reign of Christ on Earth.

Instead of reading into Scripture the errors of theologic systems, it might be more fruitful to let God sanctify the believer who places himself in humility to God and let Him guide our understanding.

BTW, the word atonement was coined in Old English from the words “at - one - ment” signifying the removal of a separation and implying fellowship.

The Hebrew from the Torah speaks of KPR or KOPHAR, (YOM KIPPUR) which is now understood to have a better translation as “cleansing” rather than “covering”. If I recall correctly the term “covering” was the state of translation circa 1916, but circa 1950s, the term was better understood as “cleansing”.

Considering His Word will be written on their hearts and minds in the Millennium, and will occur after the Abomination of Desolation, it isn’t surprising that a cleansing is still required in that relationship.

This does not mean the spiritual sacrifice more precious than the blood of bulls and goats isn’t still recognized in heaven, but a sacrificial system does appear in the Millennium.

INDEED.

I guess God didn’t get the memo from the

REPLACEMENTARIANS

telling Him that He COULD NOT do things that way on threat of . . .

wellll . . .

threat of . . .

pouty faced wailing and whining and interminable dust in the air???

Or maybe God is pretending that REPLACEMENTARIANS and all their pontificanting haughtiness are a figment of Calvin’s imagination.

For atonement of sin? That is what Ezekiel 40-48 literally says.

Sounds like purgatory.

Would you say then that there is nothing in Scripture that prevents a person from bringing a blood offering of bulls or goats today as “cleansing” for the relationship between God and men? And that such an action would be pleasing to God?
