Looking up the word Nail, there are three important meanings: small metal spike with a broadened flat head, driven typically into wood with a hammer to join things together or to serve as a peg or hook. a horny covering on the upper surface of the tip of the finger and toe in humans and other primates. fasten to a surface or to something else with a nail or nails. expose (someone) as deceitful or criminal; catch or arrest.
I would take the nail from history of the world and post it to this story. Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door. Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come.
So as Jesus reveals: Therefore this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible for it all. "Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering."
So what is nailed to our own existence is this: The Blood of Abel and Zechariah, who represents the altar of the LORD and the sanctuary of the LORD. First nail is this:
So it came about in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to the Lord of the fruit of the ground. Abel, on his part also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and for his offering; but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard. So Cain became very angry and his countenance fell. Genesis 4:3-5
It is written: But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

It is written: But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
The first nail and the second nail is about the born WORD of GOD into the flesh of mankind. As some works of the Spirit is not manifested into a person unless they undergo surgery. As the LORD said" What goes into someone's mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them." Matthew 15:11 What comes out of the mouth of those who don't know the LORD is the power they believe to oppress the Word of GOD, but that's okay as well. For the LORD decreed this: Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. Luke 21:33 People are taught the LORD's prayer, but as it is written: He said to them, "When you pray, say: "' Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Thy will be done in heaven and earth. Give us this day, our bread to eat. Forgive us of our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. Amen So in this very prayer, we are stating our faith in Christ Jesus to deliver on all the words of the Law and the Prophets. The world glories on their so called founders, but refuse the light of all mankind who the built the world and all creations. There are many more things we need to be thankful for, but only in Christ Jesus can we ever know the truth.
