Matthew 27 points to seven sprinklings of blood upon the Ark of Covenant or upon the mercy seat according to the Tabernacle teaching.
It refers to the suffering in the flesh experienced by Jesus to save us, to bless and perfect the congregation.
Matthew 27:1-527:1. When morning came, all the chief priests and elders of the people plotted against Jesus to put Him to death.
27:2 And when they had bound Him, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pontius Pilate the governor.
27:3 Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
27:4 saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." And they said, "What is that to us? You see to it!"
27:5 Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself.
It was the first suffering Jesus experienced, namely being sold and being handed over to chief priests and the elders of the Jew and Pontius Pilate in order to be judged until the death.
Judas Iscariot sold Jesus to the chief priests and the elders of the Jews. It means as follows.
- Sacrificing spiritual matters such as the true teaching Word, service and ministry, and holiness, in order to get physical matters.
- Being bound by the lust of money until being stingy and greedy. It refers to idolatry or worship to mammon.
Consequently, Judas hanged himself. It equals to the neck is hanged.
The neck refers to worship. If the neck is hanged, one cannot worship God or there is spiritual dryness, spiritual death, up to perdition forever.
