This is a subject that I teach whenever I teach Exploring God's Word
or Search for Truth Bible studies, even though the subject is not as
well covered in the teacher's guide as I wish it were.

To quickly cover some of the high spots I go over:

 * The blood sacrifice in the garden when God made them clothes of
   animal skins.

 * The vegetarian diet of all living things before the flood, so
   blood never had any reason to be shed except for sacrifice for sin.

 * The passover in Egypt, with the following sub-topics:
   
   * To prevent death of first born male son.
     * Jesus is only begotten, hence first born, son of God.

   * Break no bone of the sacrifice.
     * The other 2 men on the crosses had their legs broken,
       but Jesus was already dead, so his legs were not broken.

   * Roast sacrifice with fire.
     * Jesus experienced hell fire for 3 days!

   * Blood applied to door with hyssop.  
     * Jesus said, "I am the door."
     * He said drink this fruit of the vine, it is my blood.
     * On the cross, vinegar was touched to his lips by a
       sponge on the end of a hyssop branch.

 * Abraham's communion with Melchizidek.
   * He was king of Salem = king of peace.
   * He brought forth bread and wine -- communion.
   * Jesus rode foal of ass into Jerusalem.
     * ass is animal of peace
     * horse is animal of war

Well, I gotta get back to building an I/O driver for a new monitor.  I
guess this is enough to get the thread started.
