I concur. The Divine Liturgy is the service of sacrifice that replaces
these offerings of old.
>KATA PANTA is found 105 times in Scripture (98 in LXX, 7 in NT).
>DIA PANTA is found once (Ezek 33:29).
>KATA PANTA KAI DIA PANTA is not found anywhere in Scripture.
How many of these occur during the Gospel stories of the Mystical Supper?
Particularly the Gospel of John which is the largest inspiration in creating
the Byzantine Divine Liturgy?
How many of the LXX references occur in Leviticus, Exodus and Deuteronomy
sections regarding worship instructions?
