CHRIST IN GENESIS

Gen 3:21  Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

MOSES wrote of Christ by way of types

a.      GOD could have destroyed them and made new people instead

b.      GOD could have made the pineapple barong to clothe them both, or he could have commanded the silk worm to spin clothes, but instead GOD chose to take the SKIN of an ANIMAL

c.       GOD caused Moses to write these because He wants you to think. 

Rom 15:4  For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

d.      CAN YOU TAKE THE SKIN WITHOUT SHEDDING BLOOD?

NO.

What is the significance of that bloodshed?

Heb_9:22  And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

This was the FIRST KILLING (shed blood) but not the first death

God did it

There was no death before sin

Before this event of Gen. 3:21 – no blood was shed yet. Compare Isa. 61:10

Blood was shed to cover the nakedness of Adam and Eve

The Bible does not directly say there was blood or that the animal from the coats of skin were taken from had to die.  Have you ever seen a skinless animal walking around and living normally?  No, to skin alive an animal and then let them walk this earth would be cruel.

This shed blood was no other than a prophecy that someone in the future, yea the blood of Christ, the lamb of God would also be shed to COVER my sin and the sins of other's who are nakedly sinful in the eyes of God.

Trust Christ, the Son of God, who lived a perfect righteous life and who has the power to transfer that perfect righteousness to whom He will.  The Lion of Judah, the King of the Jews, who has power to forgive sins, who has power alone to give everlasting life to those who trust Him.
