movie and television moguls. It is Satan. Why then the intense focus upon vampirism in this
hour? What is Satan up to?
I have for many years pondered the spiritual substance of the laws concerning things
mankind might eat, and might not eat. Blood was very much in focus among these laws.
Yahweh’s first prohibition against partaking of blood preceded the Law of Moses by more
than a thousand years. The following injunction was spoken to Noah soon after the flood.

Genesis 9:3-6
Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the
green plant. Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. And
surely I will require your lifeblood; from every beast I will require it. And from every
man, from every man's brother I will require the life of man. Whoever sheds man's
blood, by man his blood shall be shed, for in the image of God He made man.

From the very moment that Yahweh gave man permission to eat meat, He included
the prohibition against eating blood. A millennia later, when Yahweh delivered the Law to
Moses, He did not neglect to speak once more of the role of blood.

Leviticus 17:10-14
And any man from the house of Israel, or from the aliens who sojourn among them,
who eats any blood, I will set My face against that person who eats blood,
and will cut him off from among his people. For the life of the flesh is in
the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls;
for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement. Therefore I said to the
sons of Israel, 'No person among you may eat blood, nor may any alien
who sojourns among you eat blood.' So when any man from the sons of Israel,
or from the aliens who sojourn among them, in hunting catches a beast or a bird
which may be eaten, he shall pour out its blood and cover it with earth. For as for
the life of all flesh, its blood is identified with its life. Therefore I said to the
sons of Israel, 'You are not to eat the blood of any flesh, for the life of all
flesh is its blood; whoever eats it shall be cut off.'

Yahweh was very precise in these directions. He wanted there to be no
misunderstanding. In no way was mankind to partake of the blood of any beast. To this day
the orthodox Jews require a Rabbi to be present whenever an animal is slaughtered to
insure that the blood is drained from the animal according to the Law of Moses.

Deuteronomy 12:22-25
Just as a gazelle or a deer is eaten, so you shall eat it; the unclean and the clean alike
may eat of it. Only be sure not to eat the blood, for the blood is the life,
and you shall not eat the life with the flesh. You shall not eat it; you
shall pour it out on the ground like water. You shall not eat it, in order
that it may be well with you and your sons after you, for you will be doing what is
right in the sight of Yahweh.

Over and over Yahweh repeats the prohibition against eating blood. The reason is
given as “the life is in the blood.” The Hebrew word rendered here as life is the word
