This is one of the hardest for me also but I understand it more now. Those sacrifices of the old testament -there were different types,-were mostly eaten by the priests and their families. The meat and hides did not go to waste.

Each sacrifice was a personal cost as meat and grain were worked for, animals were raised and cared for. No sacrifice was a light thing.

Sin does cause death-look around us now and we can see the results. Plus each ritual and sacrifice was.to point us toward salvation and Jesus and the price He paid for us. The meaning of that price is profound.

If one understands who we really are, and the true facts of why we are in this flesh age, then everything becomes clearer. The wages of sin is death of the soul and the wages of insurrection is death to all involved. If God is a just God, this price had to be paid. But He loves His children. Jesus paid that price..

Q said something that the Bible alludes to many times-only at the precipice and about waking people up to the evil. So basically we needed to see what evil is and what evil does, and the price paid for that evil. Otherwise evil can never be truly abolished.
