   Thank you Mike for this beautiful summary of what we are as the drink offering. I include it here with the study as it is so very instructive for us all to hear. Thank you my brother.

   Hi Tony,

   This is just a note to thank you for expanding my understanding of the meaning of the drink offering. I rejoice every time the Lord gives me to connect one verse of scripture to another when I had not previously seen the connection that is right there before my eyes. I remember the great joy I had in seeing that the four horses of Zechariah 4 were the same four horsemen of Revelation 6, coming to begin judgment at the house of God. I was thrilled to discover that the ‘little book’ of Revelation 10:8-11 was the same ‘little book’ of Ezekiel 2 and 3 and that the ‘hand’ holding that ‘little book’ is the hand of Christ. I could go on with such exciting revelations that are the result of connecting one verse of scripture with another verse of scripture.

   This study on the drink offering, has brought many scriptures together revealing that the drink offering is “the new testament in [Christ’s] blood”:

   Mat 26:27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
   Mat 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
   Mat 26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.

   From the time of His resurrection Christ has been drinking this cup anew with us in His Father’s kingdom within us via the drink offering. Thank you for that revelation.

   The drink offering being ‘My blood of the New Testament’ necessitates that it is therefore also the “little book” in the hand of Christ which we are told to eat:

   Eze 2:7 And thou shalt speak my words [the drink offering] unto them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear: for they are most rebellious.
   Eze 2:8 But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee; Be not thou rebellious like that rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eat that I give thee.
   Eze 2:9 And when I looked, behold, an hand was sent unto me; and, lo, a roll of a book was therein;
   Eze 2:10 And he spread it before me; and it was written within and without: and there was written therein lamentations, and mourning, and woe.

   Eze 3:1 Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, eat that thou findest; eat this roll, and go speak unto the house of Israel.
   Eze 3:2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
   Eze 3:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
   Eze 3:4 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.

   Rev 10:1 And I saw another mighty angel [Christ] come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

   Rev 10:8 And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. [Christ]
   Rev 10:9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
   Rev 10:10 And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
   Rev 10:11 And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

   When we ‘eat this book’ we are drinking the Words of Christ, “[His] blood in the New Testament”. Having the New Testament in our mouths and in our hearts is also called “fire in [our] mouth” and it is also called “a sharpe two-edged sword”:

   Jer 5:14 Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

   Rev 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

   Thank you my dear brother for pointing out to me that this roll of a book “is My blood in the New Testament…” Christ, “The Word”, fire in our mouths, a sharpe two-edged sword, and the drink offering.

   Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

   Your very grateful brother, Mike
