ALL THROUGH THE BLOOD Ultimately, there is only one plan of salvation. Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, takes away the sin of THE WORLD (John 1:29), and there aren't any other worlds that need to have sin taken away. Therefore, from Genesis to Revelation, the salvation of every soul to ever live in this world rests upon the work of Christ at Calvary. That's why the theme of the sacrificial Lamb starts in Genesis 3:21 (see Rev. 13:8) and runs clear through Revelation 22:3. That doesn't mean that everyone in the Bible knew about Jesus' work on the cross, but it does mean that GOD knew about it and that he connects all salvation to Christ. At the final White Throne Judgment, salvation rests upon one thing: Whose name is in the LAMB'S Book of Life (Rev. 20:15; 13:8; 21:27)? People can word it and twist it and spin it a dozen different ways, but that's what it all boils down to in the end. No matter what anyone thinks or says about anything found in the preceding 65 books, the final book says, "And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." The "book of life" is the LAMB'S book of life, according to Revelation 13:8. No matter who builds a boat, who wears animal skins, who offers their son on a mountain, who applies blood over a door, who worships at a temple, who lets down a scarlet thread, who sprinkles blood on the mercy seat, who gets baptized, who believes in the death, burial and resurrection by faith, who doesn't take the mark, and who worships the King in the millennium, EVERY child of scriptural faith eventually gets covered by the blood of Christ. No one enters heaven without being washed in the blood of the Lamb, so it is foolishness to speak about "different plans" of salvation. All roads lead to the cross, and THAT is the only plan. Even when something APPEARS to be different in numerous passages of scripture, Revelation 20:15 brings it all right back to Calvary where Jesus is the only way. Jesus said in John 14:6 that NO MAN (that would mean NO MAN!) can come to the Father except through himself, and he's the one doing the judging at the White Throne Judgment where having one's name in the Lamb's book of life is the requirement. Nothing else matters, including no one's private interpretation of twenty verses that seem to say something else. IT DOESN'T MATTER! Everyone goes through the blood of the Lamb, else they do not go. We can argue until the saints go marching in about exactly HOW all that works, but it DOES WORK, else Revelation 20:15 would not be in your Bible. Some through the water,Some through the flood,Some through the fire,But all through THE BLOOD.
