 Hope you all are doing well. I am enjoying maybe ever has had a time. We just enjoy your morning. I'm enjoying my morning Uh, I happen to I don't even hear in the background. Let's do one of my favorite songs ever it is well And so it's just it's just matter of fact The the song the the little worship time was so good. I almost forgot about you guys almost said, you know what? They'll be okay. Let me finish listening to him sing it as well Matter of fact, I've heard the song like five times already and so I'm just I'm really into it right now I really am this song is almost as good as As the actual intro It's almost as good as the actual smart christian intro It's up there it is up there and so I love the words of the song. I love what it says. I love what it conveys Why because it is well If you don't believe it is well I don't I wonder if you're a christian I just I wonder if you are christian if you don't believe it as well And we're going to look at some passages to see that guess what it actually is well So let me go ahead and Where's this at? Oh, this is actually at at the church. Uh, let me go ahead and turn this off I may even mess around and get a copy Christ right for it. Who knows? But anyway, that'd been the case. How are you all doing? Hope you all doing well We're going to jump into it. By the way, let me do a little little bit of housekeeping Do you all recall what I said this? This this bible study How it's put together how it's done you put on the screen I said this bible study is a combination of hermeneutics Bible survey and systematic theology Well, we really hadn't done a lot of the bible survey portion The bible survey is really kind of getting the bird's eye view and looking at a particular book The writer how this all kind of Comes together again looking at it from the top and looking down You can kind of see how all this stuff goes together We've done some parts of it But really what we're going to start doing after next week You'll start seeing the bible survey portion to it To start looking at it from the kind of a big picture how things fit together You'll see that this particular portion refers to this system of theology this bible doctrine and so forth But if you focus on the doctrine or this portion of theology Then you might see everything through the lens of that particular theology You'll start looking at everything as let's say if it's a eschatological lens You look at everything as as as referring to the end times You look at everything referring to uh, israel you look at everything referring to Baptism you look at everything referring to the holy spirit And you don't want to do that You want to see how god lays this out what he's doing What you really want to see is god's plan ultimately for salvation for us And so we'll we'll get to that now a lot of what we've gone through has been a lot of stuff After today, we're going to pull back on the next session and kind of make sense We're going to look at everything that we've done and see how it's made sense because if you if if we're not careful Sometimes you can get to reading so much And reading and reading and reading next thing you know, I've got a lot of information, but it might feel a little bit jumbled Uh a little bit overwhelming And so we're going to pull back on next week and kind of do a recap But we'll look at how everything that we've covered fits together The reason is because Well, we're going to move a little bit faster It'll be more We'll in we'll probably make this more bible survey ish Over the next several sessions So we'll deal with a book and what this book says and so now today And really even the next couple weeks. It'll probably be more More two or three books today. We're really covering three books Next week it'll be more Two one book one or two books I'll take that back and then after that we'll really pretty much be in one book for a while So let me go ahead and put this back on the screen that we've we've covered this before This little old testament server. I mean this old testament timeline So today we're dealing with Leviticus and Deuteronomy. We're also going to be dealing with exodus As a matter of fact, we're going to start back off in exodus. And so it is going to be We we need to go back to exodus to see what it was that we were just talking about We'll go back to not where we left off But prior to what we left off and so we'll be in excess a little bit of the end of exodus We will be in Leviticus as well A good chunk of Leviticus and we will Hit a few passages Several passages in Deuteronomy. Why because again, they all go together as a matter of fact, let me fix my He fixed my My my keyboard And let's do this So that way I can just push the button rather than look for it on here Something else that we're gonna we're gonna cover And that is we're gonna deal with the different offerings you all have we talked about before And not really a lot, but we've covered the different offerings That the that the jews uh-oh That the jews have well, we're gonna talk about what these offerings are for Okay, um, I've showed you this before And so we're gonna talk about these different offerings Why when the offerings were for the purpose of them? Okay, we're gonna hit that So without further ado, let's go ahead and jump into it. Let's go back to not the leviticus. We'll get there, but let's go back to exodus 23 Let's start in um I don't want to start in verse one You know, yes, I will I'll start there just kind of just skim over it So I won't miss the point that I want to go to so in excess 23 In verse one says you should not bear a false a false report do not join your hand with the wicked man What he's doing is he's giving more detail to what we saw in some of the earlier commandments Uh, and so we go to verse four if you meet your enemy's ox or his donkey wandering away You shall surely return in other words. Don't keep it Don't you know, we used to do when we were little kids If you were like like the kids in my neighborhood, hey, where'd you get that bike? I found it No, that's not what we're supposed to do as as believers. And so you know what's his give it back to him All right, uh verse six you should not pervert justice due to your needy brother In his in other words, I don't play favorites to my to my friend. He's clearly wrong, but it's my friend And so you're wrong 23 verse nine you should not oppress a stranger Now where I want to get to and this is the big one. This is the big one He is talking about this Sabbath But now what he's talking about in verse 10 is this Sabbath of the land now I'll let you go back and read all the other things that he throws in that the lord is wanting israel to adhere to And remember this is to israel Question see if you all remember Even though it's to israel Does any of this apply to anyone else? Does any of what what moses is stating from god Is any of this does any of this apply to anyone else? It's very important that you understand this Do you all think that any of this? This covenant that he's making this any of it apply to anyone else Well, the answer is yes sort of Now it's going to affect other people If you're in a malachite if you're a jebusite if you're a parasite if you're hit tight, uh, well, you're in trouble However, there is a way around being in trouble That is if you are any though anybody if you want to Become part of them if you want to let's say take up the covenant if you want to become Circumcised and so forth well, then you could they have remember they have sojourners They have slaves they have foreigners in their midst who could also if they want to adhere to it and so That part now is it a large number? No, it's not a large number But there are some now how many we just don't know the bible doesn't tell us But we know that when they're leaving out of egypt that there are there's a there's a number of people who are Who are slaves as well as other travelers who are who have joined in because when you start hearing about what the lord has done That transcends ethnicity that that that transcends different people groups if you hear what the lord is doing You know what? I don't know what you guys are doing but I know what he's doing and so i'm going with them I don't know who these people are but that's what i'm going with so Verse 10 he's speaking to israel and this is very important guys This is the Sabbath not for the people but to the land and look what he says he says you shall sow your land for six years Gather in shield But on the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie Follow so that the needy of your people may eat and whatever they leave the beast of the field may eat You are to do the same with your vineyard and your olive row Six days you are to work But on the seventh day you shall cease from labor so that your ox and your donkey may rest and the son of your female slaves As well as your strangers may refresh themselves now concerning everything which i have said to you be on guard And do not mention the name of other gods nor Let them be heard from your mouth so He's introducing a Sabbath to the land so Seven years In the seventh year That land is to rest so for six years You take what you can You tilt the ground and so forth, but in the seventh year That land gets a Sabbath Vitally important but when I say vitally important vitally important, okay Put that to the side. We're going to come back to that. Look what he says in verse 14 Three times a year you shall celebrate a feast to me You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread for seven days You are to eat unleavened bread as I commanded you at the appointed time in the month of abib For in it you came out of Egypt and none shall appear before me empty-handed Also, you shall observe the feast of the harvest of the first fruits Of your labors from what you sow in the field Also the feasts of the in-gathering at the end of the year when you gather in the fruit of your labors from the field Three times a year all your males shall appear before the lord god So he's also telling about these feasts that they are going to have to adhere to right with Put that to the side verse 18 You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven bread Nor is the fat of my feast to remain overnight until the morning so In these feasts and then this food this is what I there's there's more detail to this We won't go through all the different details of this verse 19 You shall bring the choice first fruit of your soil into the house of the lord your god You are not to boil a young goat in the milk of its mother I don't want to cover that we've covered that before and so excuse me I need a drink for my colts mother now Look at verse 20 Equally important as a matter of fact tremendously important Behold I am going to send an angel before you to guard you along the way And to bring you into the place which I have prepared Be on guard by the way guys Let me make sure let me let me make sure of something. Let me make sure of something I just want to make sure Because I do believe let me I don't want to make sure. Okay All right, this here guys is where was I at? This is one of the few times the few earlier mentioned mentions of an angel Now we do have a few mentions earlier But We might see it as the angel of the lord or the angel of god A few times earlier I can't recall the exact verses where we see this term angel And so sometimes what we may do is we may think of the angel of the lord Define it according to what an angel is Well, we shouldn't do that because what ends up happening is the we make the angel of the lord a little bit lower than what he actually is The word angel is just simply a messenger someone who is speaking on behalf of god Now we found out though that who is speaking on behalf of god Could actually be god could be god in a form that we can be before In a veiled form. We'll come back later. We won't do it today. I don't think we'll do today. We might we might Looking at moses seen god In his veiled glory so to speak We may we may have time to get to that But back to this passage says but hold on i'm sending an angel before you to guard you along the way And to bring you into a place which I have prepared Well, where's this place the place that god has prepared is this promised land The very same land that god told abram that he's going to give him The same land that isaac and jacob or to be in as a matter of fact the land that they left to go into egypt So they're going back into it and so look what he says Verse 21 be on guard before him And obey his voice do not be rebellious towards him for he will not Pardon your transgressions since my name is in him So this isn't this isn't gabriel. This isn't michael. This isn't uh some random angel Whoever the angel might be no This is clearly someone higher than the than an angel Because he says his name will be in him and this angel has the ability to pardon sins Well, we'll find out later that only one can pardon sins that being that being god So but if you truly obey his voice and do all that I say Then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries Well, where have we heard that before we heard that when god spoke to abram We heard that when he said he reiterated with isaac and jacob I will bless those that bless you and curse those that curse you so we send the same thing For my angel will go before you and bring you into the land of the amorites The hittites and the parasites and the kenanites and the hittites and the debris sites and I will completely destroy them You shall not worship their gods nor serve them nor do according to their deeds But you shall utterly overthrow them and break their sacred pillars But you shall serve the lord your god and he will bless you Your bread and your water and I will remove sickness from your midst Now notice how I push that though This is how we know who he's talking about. He says but you shall serve the lord your god And he will bless you This is him still speaking of this angel this messenger Who we know who we would say Well, we won't say it yet because we have we can't say who it is Why because we hadn't earned The right to say who we know this is going to be as we go further in the scripture. So But you all know his name J e s us anyway back to it there shall be no one miscarrying or barren in the land I will fulfill the number of your days I will send my terror ahead of you and throw into confusion all the people among whom you come And I will make all your enemies turn their backs on you. So now he is going to Whatever's happening with the children of israel. It's more magnified before With them to the people that they're going into these people's hearts are going to melt before them He's going to send his terror before them. So it's almost as though Someone is going ahead of them making it possible for them to go to to go into the remember They might not be the largest people going into the land We don't really know all of the numbers of the children of israel and we don't know all the number of the enemies Either combined or individually But what god is going to do is he says he's going to send his terror ahead of them and throw into confusion all the people among them Verse 28 I will send hornets ahead of you So they will not drive out so they will drive out the hittite the hivites the canonites and the hittites before you I will not look what he says Notice what he said notice how god Even in getting rid of them also provides For as he's doing so And there's a lesson that we could probably blame for this as well I will not drive them out before you in a single year That the land may not become become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you So what would happen if everyone left? If all of them are driven out let's say in a day or two or three Well, what would happen to the land the land could be overgrown The animals can get too wild and so forth and so So that the animals the beasts of the field don't become too numerous So as he's driving them out they will let's say this group is still here. They'll be taking care of the land They'll be hunting. They'll be making sure that the animal the game Doesn't grow too far. I mean too large too fierce And so god is even making sure that when they when the when the jews get there They will find the land in a good a good condition are you with me? So sometimes you might want god to hurry up and and and and deliver you or or defeat your enemies or this But maybe sometimes he's also preparing a way for you. That's why I say it's important guys Where every god has taken you Two things need to be prepared The place that you're going to as well as yourself Obviously you need to be prepared when you get to where god is going to deliver you to But at the same time the place does as well. And so we see that here in exodus This is I will drive them out before you little by little until you become fruitful and take possession of the land I will fix your boundaries from the red sea to the sea of the philistines And from the wilderness to the river euphrates I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand and you will drive them out before you You shall make no covenant with them It's important you shall make no covenant with them Or with their gods they shall not live in your land because they will make you sin against me Finally important, but they don't they've never learned this lesson for if you serve their gods It will surely be a snare to you so Here we see He's going to reiterate reiterate these principles And they're going to mess these up and he's going to reiterate them again This next point is important also chapter 24 verse 1 then he said to moses Come up to the lord you and erin nay dab and be who nay dab and be who that that's erin's uh boys And 70 of the elders and you shall worship at a distance moses alone However shall come near the lord, but they shall not come near nor shall the people come up with him Then moses came and recounted to the people all the words of the lord And all the ordinances and all the people answered with one voice And they said all the words which the lord has spoken we will do The last session i don't know why i was looking in chapter 23 for this it was in 24 24 verse 3 so to to further validate the fact that this is a uh a conditional covenant and it's a Uh bilateral covenant god makes the offer to the people the people accept They said so in exes 19 and they're saying so again in exes 24 three god makes the offer They accept whatever you say lord. We're gonna do it Verse four moses wrote down all the words of the lord Then he rose early in the morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain with 12 pillars verse five Uh, he sent young men of the sons of israel and they offered burnt offerings and sacrificed young bulls as peace offers the lord moses took half the blood and put it in the basin Another half of the blood on east sprinkled on the altar Then took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people and they said all the lord has spoken We will do will be obedient in other words Moses is reiterating the word to the people people are hearing what god has spoken and they're saying amen Amen, well by those words you will be condemned or you will be judged So moses took the blood and sprinkled on the people and said behold the blood of the covenant Which the lord has made with you in accordance to all these words verse nine Then moses went up with air and they have a behoo and the seventy elders and they saw the god of israel Under his feet They appeared to be a pavement of sapphire as clear as the sky itself Yet he did not stretch out his hand against the nobles of the sons of israel And they saw god and they didn't drink now the lord said the moses come up to me on the mountain And remain there and I will give you the stone tablets All right, here we go moses is going to get these stone tablets With the law and the commandments which I have written for their instruction. So moses rose with joshua We never tell the story that moses goes up with joshua. We forget that joshua goes up with him his servant And moses went up to the mountain of god, but the elders He said wait here for us until we return to you And behold erin and her are with you whoever has a legal matter let him approach him So we understand what's happening. So moses goes up before the people The glory of the lord comes to rest on the mountain the glory of the lord rest of the mount sinai And the cloud covered for six days and on the seventh day he called the moses in the midst of the cloud And and to the eyes of the sons of israel The appearance of the glory of the lord was like a consuming fire on the mountain. So we see This cloud This the glory of the lord to sin now to them it's like this consuming fire So I could imagine now I have no idea how to put this nor do you but we can just in our minds I try to figure this out There's this cloud that maybe there's some fire in the midst of it I can't I can't even begin to describe how it might have looked But it must have looked awesome It must must have looked awesome moses verse 18 entered the midst of the cloud as he went up to the mountain And moses was on the mountain 40 days and 40 nights now I want to uh deal with This construction of this tabernacle that we're going to talk about in a little bit because it's important as well because that is going to be That is going to be uh was moses a high priest. He was likened to a high priest Um, they are getting ready to set this order Uh in just a second, but no he uh, well, I mean he technically Technically he he would fit the definition wouldn't he because one how he acts into his bloodline So that's a good question Verse 25 i'm took 25 verse one then the lord spoke to moses saying Tell the sons of israel to raise a contribution for me. Now by the way, thank you daryl Who is speaking to moses? And I we we ran too fast and missed it. That's my mistake But the lord is speaking to him But we also see this other phrase this uh description This glory of the lord so moses is before the glory of the lord Take that put it to the side This messenger who's going going to go before them We see that put it to the side This the glory of the lord the lord in this fire this consuming fire Which by the way had moses seen the lord before in a consuming fire before yes, he has Now the people get a chance to witnesses themselves Now look what he says Verse three this is a contribution which you are to raise from them gold silver and bronze blue purple and scarlet material fine Letting go here ram skin dyed red Porpoise skins acacia wood oil for lighting spices I'll go down but look what it says let them construct a sanctuary for me that I may dwell among them according to All that I am going to show you as a pattern tab right now. Let me I'm gonna click this I don't know if you guys can see this on your screen. Why can't they see this? Dog on it. I thought that you guys would be able to see this huh interesting I would have thought That you guys and I can't make this I'm looking at a picture. I hit the button and Appeared to me a picture a A diagram of the tabernacle It's on my screen, but it's not on yours. So let me kind of describe this thing to you The dimensions of our 150 150 feet this way 75 this way the outer course of it You're gonna have as you the as you as you at the very front of it. You're gonna have the altar of burnt offering Then as you approach, there's what's called this Uh, where the tabernacle is there's this holy place man. I wish you know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna have to go ahead and put this up next week. So I want you guys to see this We're gonna cover this again You're gonna you're gonna cover we're gonna cover this again, but I want you to see Where the priest enters into this holy place and then he goes to the most holy of holy You see the altar of incense and so forth and then where the Ark of the Covenant is in the in the holy in the in the The most holy place That's my mistake. You all forgive me. Um, it's literally on my screen and I don't know why it's not showing up here Um Don't go on it. Well, I should maybe if I would have just grabbed the log off software it may be showing up But for some reason I'm again, I'm looking at it, but it won't it won't show up hmm I apologize, but Google what it looks like. How about that? Anyway, he's giving them the the instructions of how to Uh, how of how to develop this or how to construct this According to all that I am going to show you as a pattern of a tabernacle And the pattern of all is furniture just as you shall construct it So I won't I won't go over all of that He's going to tell them how to put to how to build the Ark of the Covenant How to build even even down to the curtain The wood issues all of this stuff. He is going to go over all of this Why? Because this is where God is the glory of the Lord is going to start showing up from before them He's not going to be on this mountain because it's not going to be here that long They're going to move away in just a little bit are you with me? So, uh Since I can't show that possibly do I have now time to go over and Let's see I may want to go ahead and cover No, I won't do that. I'll go ahead and move to to the next portion You know what? Yeah, let's go to verse 25 of 10 32 So since I won't go over the Ark of the Covenant means someone go over the tabernacle Let's go to where These people have decided to act ungodly Let's go to chapter 32 verse 25 So now when Moses saw that the people were out of control for Aaron had let them get out of control to be a derision Among their enemies then Moses stood in the gate of the camp and said whoever is for the Lord come to me And all the sons of Levi Gathered to him He said thus says the Lord the God of Israel every man of you put a sword upon his thigh And go back and forth from the gate to gate in the camp and kill every man his brother and every man his friend And every man his neighbor So the sons of Levi did as Moses instructed and about 3000 men of the people failed that day Then Moses said dedicate yourselves a day To the Lord for every man has been against his son and against his brother in order that he may bestow a blessing upon you today now The reason why this is important is because God is doing His best without killing all of these people if If they would obey The people are hardheaded You know the story of them making a golden calf and so forth and and worshiping it because Moses you're just taking too long You're taking far too long And so because they're acting up. What does Moses do here? You Levi's go and kill I don't want you to think that You can act and behave in any way shape or fashion that you want to know That is not what's going to happen now. As a matter of fact I think I do want to cover this I think I do. Yeah, I do. I do. I do. Let's go to chapter 33 Let's go to 33 Let's go to verse 12 Then most of the Lord see you say to me Bring up this people, but you yourself have not let me Know whom you will sin with me more over Now notice what he just said God has already stated that my messenger will go before Before who before us Moses like I've got these people here By the way, can you imagine how frustrated Moses is getting with these people Going back and forth between them and God them and God holy and horrible Ghost go go speak face to face with holy and then have to go back and deal with horrible Holy and horrible all in In one fell swoop. I got to keep dealing with them and then come before you Lord, why are you giving me this burden? Then Moses said to the Lord see You say to me bring up this people, but you God yourself have not let me know Whom you will sin with me Moreover, you have said I have known you by name and you have also found favor in my sight Now therefore I pray if I have found favor in your sight Let me know your ways that I might know that I may know you So that I may find favor in your sight consider too that this nation is your people These are your people God and he said my presence shall go with you and I will give you rest Wait a second stop for one second Whose presence shall go with him? He says my presence is God speaking, but I thought we were told that this was an angel going before them Yeah And the angel is God My presence shall go with you and I will give you rest Then he said to him if your presence does not go with us Do not lead us up from here For how then can it be known that I have found favor in your sight And your people is it not by your going with us so that we and I And your people may be distinguished from all the other people who are upon the face of the earth Notice what he's saying Notice what most is saying most is saying if you don't go with us There's no way for me and then there's no way for us to be distinguished between the rest of the people Let me just pause for a second This is not a primary application for us But it can be at least a secondary application or pretty close to primary application He's when I take it back. It's not primary because he's speaking about israel, but the second application is this We also should be the exact same way There should be him before us that people can know and see that we are not like everybody else That we are different that there is some something distinguishing us between them and his people Them and us which is obviously the presence of the Lord and that doesn't change That does not change. It won't change in leviticus It won't change in deuteronomy. It won't change in joshua judges. Ruth. It won't change at all It's always going to be that god will that is if we are obedient He will have it to where it's distinguished between his people And the world Verse 17 the Lord said most I will also do this thing with which you have spoken For you have found a favor in my sight and I have known you by name Then moses said I pray Show me your glory Moses you're getting a little bit big for your bridges now you you're asking a lot now moses You are asking a lot moses show me you're saying the god show me your glory But what he says verse 19 he says I myself will make all my goodness pass before you And will proclaim the name of the lord before you and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious And I will show compassion on whom I will show compassion But he's in other words god has said I can do this I can do this if you want me to Then the lord said I'm sorry But he said verse 20 you cannot see my face for no man can see me and live. All right. This is important guys extremely important Extremely important. Yeah. Yeah, jeff. He did get excited. He did matter of fact. I want this. I want this I want this and you know what else I want show me your glory But what does god say? He says I can I will show compassion and mercy on whomever I want to You know what moses? I will but you cannot see My face why for no one can see me Face to face and live no one can see my face and live but wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second. Wait a second I thought someone did to your face and they lived Jacob in exodus. I mean ex in genesis. He saw your face. As a matter of fact, the bible even used imagery that says that Moses speaks with you face to face Well, if he takes on form of a man If he take if he wraps himself in flesh, then That's god and you are wrestling with him face to face But he's speaking of his fullness as a matter of fact, how do we know what's his fullness? Because what does he say? He says I will make my goodness Pass all my goodness pass before you. Where's that? There it is verse 19 and I I will make all Here's the Hebrew word call And then this next word for goodness tobe This word is to be Or it actually I take it back is to be the e part is my in the Hebrew. It's polynomial suffix the e part is my and then tobe Dependent on how you learn Hebrew. It can be a B or V. So tov It's really kind of a smooth B That sounds like a V. So Call to be which is all my goodness I'll let all my goodness Pass before you So you can't see my glory. I'll let it pass before you, but I'll let you see a portion of it I'll let you see a portion of it So he says I will be gracious to whom I would be gracious to and show compassion On whom I will show compassion too, but he said you cannot see my face for no man Meaning you cannot see now the word for face. Look on your screen. The word for face is this Hebrew word It is panini or in this case panah, which is the front of This is kind of idiomagnetic or figurative Not as though God actually has a face, but you can't see the front of me. You can't see All of me. You can't see who I who I am Are you with me? But I'll let something I'll let you see something though. He says behold verse 24 There is a place by me and you shall stand there on the right and it will come about that while my glory is passing And this is the word Kabad or kabadin Kabadin Kabadin we get this word kabad, which is this heaviness This weight we talked about this on last week how heavy God is I will let my heaviness Pass by And that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with my hand Again, it's not like an actual hand, but he's going to cover something of him Until I have passed by then I will take my hand away and you shall see my back But my face you should not see in other words Trying to make this Trying to make this Make sense to us. You're not going to see the fullness. You're gonna it's almost like you're catching a glimpse Um, I heard a buddy of mine in prison, but and it's kind of cool. I kind of need how I put it You'll see the exhaust fumes of my glory and this guy worked on cars. And so that's kind of his his imagery But you'll see I'll move my hand Just in times you can see The hinder parts the battle the latter parts of me Because I don't want you to die. You cannot be in my full presence Why is that important guys? Why is it important to understand that we cannot be in his full presence? well Time out We haven't earned it yet, but I've got to speak on this. I would be remiss if I do not cover this The reason why He has got to veil a portion of his glory to be before us Because we can't live Knowing full well that our faith today is in jesus christ who we believe is god in flesh Who when jesus makes this statement in john 17 give me back the glory that I had with you in the beginning Here's what he's speaking of But he can come down he can wrap himself in fire Or he can wrap himself in flesh Jesus is this we're told of by paul That he emptied himself of something to what degree we are not sure But it has to do with his glory and the reason why I say we're not sure we can speculate but The very fact that he prays about Getting back the glory that he had in the beginning with god and by the way the bible says that god Will share his glory with no one Including jesus if he's not god Jesus jesus is not worthy to have the same or to share in the glory of god Unless he is god That's the only way that's how we know that jesus is god And so the reason why i'm bringing this up is because we are going to see this later on It's vitally important that you see it now and understand it now Which is why the jews when they hear jesus speaking of this stuff later on they get upset because they know exactly what jesus is referring to They get bothered they get they their indignation shows up problem is though that their indignation is not righteous They have an unrighteous indignation and so god is going to reveal himself To some degree to moses Now we know who jesus is Because the bible says that all of his goodness all of the godhead Dwells in him in jesus and so There should not be even though you might not be able to fully understand or explain it You should still be able to fully accept it that this jesus that we are going to place our faith in is god That who is going before them? This angel that's going before them is god And god is going to give him a glimpse of his glory. Are you with me? Let's go ahead and go back into it Okay, why that's a good question in earlier verses. We see The angel the lord we see god show up in flesh This is a veiled flesh a veiled form But it's still god What we're going to see though is we're going to see what mo I'm sorry what moses is going to see is his glory Hagar did not get a chance to witness his glory abraham did not Isaac nor jacob got a chance to witness his glory. They got to see him in a veiled form with flesh Which is what we're going to see The bible says that we beheld him we beheld his glory the glory as he only begotten son only begotten of the father He takes on flesh And so there's this veiling even more so that he that he's wrapped in flesh to be before him to be before us That's the only way that he could even walk on this earth He could but we couldn't if he walks on this earth in his full glory We couldn't because we could not see his glory and live Which is why he has to empty himself to some degree of his glory That's why it talks about in john one about him being the glory of the father Are you with me? This is why he asks he this prayer in john 17 as he's getting ready to be crucified To give him back the glory that he had and so in this regard He could not be his full glory even in flesh. We couldn't be before him That's a good question. Good question I'll get answered it. Let's go back to it Uh, then I will take my hand away from you and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen Now the lord said to moses cut for yourself two stone tablets like the former ones And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets, which you shattered So be ready by morning to come up in the morning to the mountain Mount Sinai and present yourself there to be I mean to me on the top of the mountain No man is to come up with you nor let any man be seen anywhere On the mountain even the flocks and the herds herds may not graze in front of the mountain So he's got to get himself ready to go before the lord Let's drop down Verse 10 34 verse 10 then God said behold I am going to make a covenant before all your people I'll perform miracles which have not been produced in all the earth nor among any of the nations And all the people among whom you live Will see the working of the lord for it is a fearful thing that I am going to perform with you Okay, we're gonna we're gonna see some more stuff. Okay, cool Verse 11 be sure to observe what I am commanding you on this day Behold I am going to drive out the amorite before you and the canonite and the hittite and the parasite and the Hittites and the debris sites watch yourself that you make no covenant with the inhabitants and we talked about this earlier He's just reiterating this again with him Unless it will become a snare in your midst verse 13 But rather you ought to tear down their altars and smash their sacred pillars and cut their Asherin for you shall not worship any other god for the lord Whose name is jealous is a jealous god. Remember that god is jealous Do not have any other gods or worship any other guys before me Because i'm a jealous god Take that point and put it to the side as well. We're gonna we're gonna come back to that all right Verse 17 you shall make no you shall make for yourself. No molten gods Verse 18 you shall observe the feasts of unleavened bread for seven days You are to eat unleavened bread as I commanded you at the at the appointed time of the month of abeep For in the month of abeep you came out of egypt the first offspring from every womb belongs to me and all your male livestock the first offspring from the cattle and sheep you shall redeem with a lamb the first offspring From a donkey and if you do not redeem it, then you shall break its neck You shall redeem all the first born of your son None shall appear before me empty-handed Now we'll come back to this as well because this is going to come up again But him speaking about the first born belonging to him And to how and about redeeming you shall redeem the lamb Uh with you should redeem with a lamb the first offspring from a donkey And if you do not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. So the first born is not redeemed You shall kill it by breaking his neck. I won't go into that just yet. I promise you we're gonna come back to it Because if I do we'll be here forever Uh, I had no intention of covering that I wanted to go over the tabernacle But we'll come back to this I do want to keep reading for six days you shall work But on the seventh day you shall rest even during plowing time in the harvest you shall rest You shall celebrate the feasts of the weeks that is the first fruits of the wheat harvest And the feasts of the in-gathering at the turn of the year So at the end of the year also you're gonna have this this last feast three times a year All your males are to appear before the lord your god The god of israel for I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your borders No man shall covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the lord so We cover a lot Now I want to drop down So I want to cover this uh these commandments again He's going he's going to write these 10 commandments on these on the tabas I don't want to I tell you what I'm gonna I'm gonna lead that for you guys Uh to cover I want to leave that for you guys to to deal with he reiterates the Sabbath again But where I want to go to next is Make sure I make sure I don't miss anything that I want to Deal with before we move on Okay, cool. So now I told you before and we said we said before that the complementary book to this book of exodus is The book of Leviticus You're with me. So What we want to do is go to the book of Leviticus And we're going to start in one one Leviticus one verse one Then the lord called to moses and and spoke to him from the tent of the meeting saying Speak to the sons of israel and say to them when any man of you brings an offering to the lord You shall bring your offering of animals from the herd of the flock now guys This might be a little bit tedious in reading. I want to read as fast as I can I want to go through these offerings Explain some of these offerings and talk about the point and purpose of these okay If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer it a male without defect Now this first offering is a burnt offering. Let's put it on the screen This burnt offering what is to atone for individual sins, okay, we'll come back to it in a second, but It's to be a male without defect He shall offer it at the doorway of the tent of meetings that he may that it may be accepted before the lord He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering that it may be accepted for him to make Atonement on his behalf. So this is individual atonement. Why is this being done? Look on the screen again this burnt offering any time for sins also doesn't pass over as well But it is for sin for your individual sin Is there a time When you can make a burnt offering? There is no set time you can have this burnt offering Because you sin are with me. This is the point of chapter one He says he shall slay the young bull before the lord and Aaron's sons The priest shall offer up the blood and sprinkle the blood around the altar that is at the doorway of the tent of meeting He shall then Skin the burnt offering and cut into pieces the sons of Aaron shall The priest shall put the fire on the altar and arrange the wooden I won't read all of this because it's just giving kind of the How it is to be done. Are you with me now? This is there are three I'm sorry two types of offering We've got a voluntary offering and a mandatory offer There are three Voluntary offerings that you can give this one offering here is a burnt offering Then you're going to have a drink offering The I'm sorry the grain offering to go on to coincide with the grain offering You'll see the drink offering and then you'll also have a peace offering And then there's two mandatory offerings that you'll also have which will be a set offering And then the second will be a guilt slash trespass offering. Okay, so let's go to chapter chapter two That speaks about the next offering Now when anyone presents a grain offering as an offering to the lord His offering shall be fine flour and he shall pour oil on it And put frankincense on it. He shall then bring it to Aaron's sons the priest and and shall take from it His handful of its fine flour Of any of it oil with all of its frankincense now, let me just say this There's a lot of offerings being offered, which is why you understand that these priests are working all of the time You bring an offering And but you don't but guess what you don't have the right you can't make the offerings of this There's certain things you can do but then you have to then give it to one of the priests Let's put this on the screen as well We'll cover this in more detail though guys. This is the grain offering this for any time It is flour baked of early ripened things And this is as an expression of gratitude. By the way, let me back up for a second. I I failed to mention Because i'm trying to run through this as quickly as possible when we go through the burnt offering There's a problem with this burn offering There's a huge problem. The problem with the burnt offering is what if you don't have let me put it on the screen What if you don't have with this burnt offering? Let me move this out of the way dog on it What if you don't have a bull? If you don't have a bull because maybe I don't have as much as the next person Well, there are other provisions in the offering for people who don't have as much For example, it can be a bull a male sheep or goat It can be a male or a female dove or pigeon Based on a person's Well, there's that is so this guy has more than me I don't have this bull. Well, I can get a pigeon so Even if you don't have what the next person has you still have the ability to make this offering Before the lord which I think it speaks well of the graciousness of the lord So in chapter two, he's bringing up these different. He's bringing up this grain offering In chapter three, we have a what did I say? Did I say the wrong thing? Yeah, the grain offering in chapter three. We have a peace offering Which is an expression of gratitude and desire of fellowship with god. Let's read it Now if his offering is a sacrifice of peace offerings verse chapter three verse one If he is going to offer it out of the herd where the male or female he shall offer it without defect for the lord He shall lay his hands on the head of his offering and slay it at the doorway of the tent of meaning and Aaron's son these priests were working And Aaron's son the priest shall sprinkle the blood around the altar from the sacrifice of the peace offerings He shall present an offering by fire to the lord Now I won't cover What has to be done with The entrails and so forth the kidneys the fast and so forth the skin of the offering I'll let you guys read that chapter four will be the next one Matter of fact before I do it, let's go ahead and put it back on the screen So you can see this offering by the way, you may want to take a screenshot of this This is very useful for this peace offering It's anytime it can be used an unblemished bull male or female Sheep or goat can be used if you look to the right you can also that will give further detail for these different offerings Now chapter four verse one then the lord spoke to Moses saying speak the sons of Israel saying if a person sins unintentionally In any of the things which the lord has commanded not to be done and convince any of them if the anointed priest sins So as to bring guilt on the people then let him off to the lord a bull without defect As sent as a sin offering for the sin He has committed he shall bring the bull to the doorway of the tent of meaning before the lord And he shall lay his hands on the head of the bull and slay the bull before the lord Then the anointed priest is to take some of the blood of the bull and sprinkle it And bring I'm sorry bring it to the tent of meaning and the priest shall dip his finger In the blood and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before the lord in front of the veil of the sanctuary now So whole lot of blood. It's a whole it's a whole lot of blood happening here Chapter five Now if a person sins after he hears a public Adoration to testify what he is a witness Whether he has seen or otherwise known if he does not tell it Then he will bear his guilt or if a person touches any unclean thing whether a carcass or Of any unclean beast or the carcasses of an unclean cattle or carcass of unclean swarming thing Though it is hidden from him and he is unclean Then he will be guilty or if he touches human uncleanness Of whatever sort his uncleanness may be may be with which he becomes unclean And it is hidden from him Then he comes to know it. He will be guilty of it There are a lot of ordinances to go with this Would you say so god doesn't So so god doesn't overlook what we call mistakes. No No The point is to show and and guess what they're feeling Can you just put yourself in their shoes? You're hearing god give all these different ordinances all these different things and so How weighty How come if you feel like it's a whole lot to take in just by hearing me read and I'm not even reading all of it I'm just going over a portion of it if you feel like this is a lot imagine them Moses isn't skipping from one passage to the nothing as a matter of fact. There's not a passage But moses isn't skipping skipping from one detail to the next detail He's not skipping from this chapter the next he all of this is being explained to them And they're taking all of this in can you imagine? How heavy this is How to them and this might feel cumbersome. This might feel burdensome. This is a lot lord That's the whole point The whole point is for them at some point in time to recognize How difficult this is Because as we know before we've covered this as a matter of fact the video that we covered before The covenants ought we covered all the covenants the noe covenant the abrahamic covenant This covenant the mosaic covenant Which is what we're talking about now The Davidic covenant and the new covenant There's a purpose for all of this And we found out that this covenant Just like every other covenant guys by the way points to jesus All of this is pointing to someone else But it's also letting us know in each covenant in each covenant There is a reminder of our failings Think about that for a second In each cut think about the noe covenant the only purpose of the covenant Is be the point of this covenant the reason for this covenant is because of our failings our moral failings because of sin this covenant Because of our sin now we said before last week this covenant doesn't address something it doesn't address internally Our sin issue There's still sin to be dealt with Which is why we have all of these different offerings. There's still sin to be dealt with which is why we have these different offerings and because We've got these offerings and we are still rotten people we mess up We've got these offerings to show thanksgiving to the lord lord. I just I just wanted to show you how much I love Thank you lord And so we can bring these offerings remember what we saw in the very beginning After mankind sin and they were put out of the garden What was happening? They were bringing an offering to the lord. Why because god is always wanted to have a reconciliation with mankind Which is what we're going to get into in just a second okay So in all of the covenants There is this issue of our failings that that's being dealt with some degree All of these covenants um Remind us of our failings of our sharp shortcomings of our sin whether it's the Abrahamic covenant Whether it's an away covenant Abrahamic covenant mosaic old covenant the new covenant the Davidic covenant They all remind us of our how How utterly fallen we are But how utterly great and good and uplifted and high he is Amen, so In all of these we have what's happening With these offerings. I want to go to something that I think is extremely Matter of fact before that before that before I go there I want to address a couple passages Let's go to leviticus 4 which where we were in chapter 4 But I want to read a particular passage in chapter 4 In chapter 4 verse 25 Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering With his finger Put it on the horns of the altar of the burnt offering and the rest of his blood He shall pour out at the base of the altar burnt offering All it's I'm already the right one Verse 26 All his fat he shall offer up in smoke on the altar as in the case of the fat Of the sacrifice of the peace offering Thus the priest shall make atonement for him in regard to his sin He will be forgiven There was a point that I was going to make it was funny as I can't even recall what it was Why I wanted to highlight 25. There was something about 25 to read this again. Then the priest Nope, I have no idea honestly why I highlighted this verse. I think I may have oh never mind I'm in the wrong book That's why I have my little my little notated I'm just in the wrong book. So we'll get there. Sorry about that guys But there is one passage I do want to cover before we get to chapter 10 Well-known passage. So let's go. Let's go to chapter 6 Then the Lord spoke to Moses saying when a person sins And acts unfaithfully against the Lord And deceives his companion in regard to a deposit or security interest in trust to him or through robbery Or if he has Extorted from his companion or has found what was lost and lied about it and sworn falsely so that he sins In regard to any one of the things a man may do Then it shall be when he sins and becomes guilty That he shall restore what he took by robbery or what he got by extortion Or the deposit which was entrusted to him or the lost thing which he found or anything about Which he swore falsely he shall make restitution for it in full and add to it one fifth more. So on top of the sin There's going to be That's right That's right I'm in the wrong one Again, Cory get out of scratch that we're not in Leviticus 6 We are not in Leviticus 6 I've got my books up here and I'm reading the notes and I again in the wrong book But this one would definitely go to I'm sorry Let me drink my drink We're gonna do Deuteronomy just a little bit That's why I was like, wait a second. Why in the world am I reading this passage? This passage has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. We're supposed to be in Deuteronomy a little bit I'm sorry, but this passage we are in the right book Leviticus 10 I'm sorry Leviticus 10 now Nadab and Abihu now recall When they're going to the mountain It is Moses and Aaron Now obviously since Moses was with him, I mean Moses has his servant, Joshua's with him also The elders are there, but he mentions two more people Nadab and Abihu these are Moses elders boys I want you to notice something though now God has given them the ordinances of how to approach him How to do certain things when to bring offerings and so forth Notice this Now Nadab and Abihu the sons of Aaron took their respective firepans And after putting fire in them placed incense on it and offered strange fire before the Lord The problem with this word is we have no idea what's meant by strange fire um As a matter of fact before the Lord Fire Yeah, so we don't know what that means Is this because it was sub the wrong time The wrong manner If they if they may have been Uh drunk, we don't know you mean errands errands boys. Yes. These are these are Aaron's actual sons These are these are not this these are not other priests sons of priests. No, these are actually his it's actually boy his mama um, uh, his wife Had these two boys with him. So yeah, these are his his sons Uh, but they came and offered this strange fire before the Lord which he had not commanded them So there might be a key right there. He had not commanded them to do so And fire came out of the presence of the Lord and consumed them and they died before the Lord Then Moses said to Aaron It is what it is what the Lord spoke saying And this is vitally important guys by those who come near me I will be treated as holy For all the people I will be honored So Aaron therefore kept silent So what you can imagine his sons have just been killed Their priests they have a respected role as a matter of fact God doesn't take kindly to people Uh Thinking or viewing him as you know kind of taking him for granted Especially these are priests And so there is a responsibility For those people of God who are leading who go before him And so those as he says who come before me I will be treated. I will be regarded as Holy I will be consecrated as holy you will not think of me As just anybody else I'm God Get it through your thick head. You better know this And they already know this because they can't just go before like for example They can't go only certain people can go into the holy of holies And we're going to get in there in just a second, but You can't approach him however you want to he says and before all the people I will be honored So Aaron kept silent. So he's telling Moses telling Aaron. Listen. This is what God said This is the issue Don't just approach me in any manner. Well We kind of do that nowadays, don't we? We we kind of treat God as yeah, well God is there, you know what? Let me just let me just I'll speak to God when well, I haven't spoken to God at all today. Let me well. Let me just say my grace with my food That's good enough. No, it's not Just waking up and praying God praying to God and just going to sleep You need to be praying before you need to be honoring him You need to be sanctifying him in your heart every day God you are amazing Think about the Lord's prayer Our father who are in heaven. Let me just hallowed be that how high how holy you are The first thing that you do in approaching him is give him reverence Even in our prayer Now are you making this statement verbally verbatim every time you pray not necessarily But you are regarding him as holy Even in our prayer life even as we approach him are you with me? And so we see this lesson with these boys now these boys are going to offer up before the Lord on behalf of someone else So when you go before the Lord even if you're offering up prayer what have you even for yourself You need to regard him as holy Amen And so I want I wanted to make that point on this passion. I want to go to a biggie I want to I want to go to chapter 16 So that we can get into This actual atonement and I want to read all of this again we're going to come back and Give a recap of all of the things that we've covered from genesis exoslabiticus And Deuteronomy and joe So all of this that we're getting we can see how this stuff fits This is the reason why this this this verse This is how this stuff comes together because I can I can promise you Some of the versions that I verse that I we covered before and I said make sure you make a note I'm pretty sure you didn't make a note Be honest I'm pretty well. I shouldn't say you pretty I appreciate you didn't but there are some that either weren't here Or you know what I'll make a mental note and then forgot about it There's some important passages that we covered that we need to start connecting some of the dots Okay so What is God's ultimate goal? Let's think for a second all of what I just said For the first hour or so All of this guys was an introduction All of this was just an introduction You know you have a in a letter you have an introduction Then you have a body then it's conclusion We're getting ready to go into the body The whole the main point all of what I just covered was the introduction matter of fact Everything that we've read for the most part Not everything but for the most part Up to this next portion that we're going to cover Was an introduction God desires what with us What does God want with let's just pick some names out Julia spider monkey tt Dutch Roslyn Wayne What does God want Jeff? What does God want with you? Carol what is he wanting David cg? What is God after senior Conrad? Sheila what does anyone know what God wants? What is his desire not? overall but with us There it is A relationship Fellowship I like the way Wayne put it Wayne put it reconciliation The reason why I like that the reason why I like that word by the way you guys are right A relationship to be reconciled the reason why I like this word reconciliation or to be reconciled Is because of what we're getting ready to go into what we're going to talk about remember Go back to genesis By all rights God could have said you know what I gave you all a shot by I'm killing you And I'll just be God By myself I don't need to show my glory. I don't need to know. Sorry You had a shot you messed it up. He could have and been just as just And righteous in doing so They sinned he puts him out of the garden, but he doesn't he's not through with him The reason why they're bringing an offering The offering that Cain messed up Is because God has even in that made a way for them to be reconciled God still wants to have relationship with his people and so he's going to bring about reconciliation The reason why I'm bringing this up is because this issue that we're going to deal with now this word This word Is going to be The banner by which we live In in the old testament in the new testament on the old covenant the Davidic covenant the new covenant the Abrahamic covenant This word atonement Atonement Know this word We will deal with this chapter For the rest of our study For the rest of our time on this planet This word atonement Now there's many facets to this word But what he's doing here Is what he's doing forever He is going to we know he is going to change the elements of this atonement But it's still the atonement He's going to use better elements Are you with me? So some of you guys are getting ready to go to the tattoo parlor today You've been looking for for a nice fresh tattoo A tattoo that all get get that tattooed this chapter Matter of fact go to the tattoo artist and say can you tattoo all of Leviticus 16 all of it every single word in english and hebrew tattoo that on my back Don't don't do that I am not a fan of tattoos if you have a tattoo I'm not against you, but I'm just not I'm not I don't do the tattoo thing I don't No, uh, some of you guys are going to be 71 day 80 one day and that little cute tattoo You got is not going to look I can promise you tattoo on a 70 year old skin. Yeah Yuck so They have tattoo removers You might want to do that You might want to do that some of you all with those tattoos. I'm just letting you know I'm giving you something to look forward to they go You know how many old folks I've seen with with tattoos They and they got them back in the 70s and 80s and 90s and here they are with a walker They're they're in a cane or walker And it's like wow what hey, excuse me old school What did that I see your tattoo? What did it used to say? What did your tattoo used to say what I'm just kidding But if you want to get a tattoo tattoo that tattoo this this is how important This is how important this is So because it's so important, let's go ahead and jump into it Leviticus 16 We're gonna go from 16 to 17 Now the Lord spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron That's why we read chapter 10 After the two sons of Aaron when they had approached the presence of the Lord And died the Lord said to Moses Tell your brother Aaron that he shall not enter at any time into the holy place inside the veil before the mercy seat Which is on the ark or he will die In other words, don't just come when you feel like coming just at any time Do not come before me At any time I will appear I'm sorry for I will appear in the cloud over the mercy seat Aaron shall enter the holy place with this with a bull For a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering He shall put on the holy tunic and the linen under garments shall be next to his body And he shall be girded with the linen sash and a tired with linen with the linen turban These are holy garments. Then he shall bathe his body in water and put them on He shall take from the congregation of the sons of israel two male goats for sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering Remember this is kind of in in correspondence with what we talked about earlier It says then Aaron shall offer the bull for the sin offering, which is for himself So notice as this priest he's got to offer an offering or have an offering for himself Okay That he may make atonement for himself and for his household He shall take the two goats and present them before the lord at the doorway of the tunic meaning Aaron shall Look what he does cast lots for the two goats One lot for the lord and the lot the other lot for the scapegoat Then Aaron shall offer the goat on which the lord which the lot for the lord fail And make it a sin offering But the goat on which the lot for the scapegoat fail shall be presented alive before the lord to make atonement Upon him to send it to the wilderness as a scapegoat. So notice what's happening We've got this burnt off his offering for himself to make atonement for himself and his household Then we've got these two goats these One that will have the sins professed upon him and the oven is going to be in a sacrificial offering Okay Verse 11 then Aaron shall offer the bull of the sin offering which is for himself And make atonement for himself and for his household and he shall slaughter the bull of the sin offering Which is for himself. He shall take a fire pan full of coal of fire from upon the altar Before the lord and the two and two handfuls of finely ground sweet incense and bring it inside a fail He shall put the incense on the fire before the lord that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat That is on the ark of the testimony Otherwise, he will die. So Do this and do it the right way Aaron or else you will die Even after having a tone for yourself and being in right standing before you come up for the lord If you don't do it the way I tell you to do it You will die Verse 14 more over He shall take some of the blood of the of the bull and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east side Also in front of the mercy seat He shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times which is why I wanted to cover go over the actual diagrams of this tabernacle Then he shall slaughter the goat of the sin offering which is for the people And bring its blood inside the veil And do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bull and sprinkle it on the mercy seat And in front of the mercy seat He shall make atonement for the holy place because of the impurities of the sons of israel And because of their transgressions in regard to all their sin And thus shall do for the tent of meeting which abides with them in the midst of their impurities When he goes in to make atonement in the holy place No one nobody Shall be in the tent of meeting until he comes out That he may make atonement for himself and for his household and for all the assembly of israel I'm going to ask you guys a question and just a little bit Then he shall go out to the altar that is before the lord and make atonement for it And shall make and shall take some of the blood of the bull And of the blood of the goat and put it on the horns the altar on all sides With his fingers He shall sprinkle some of the blood on it seven times and cleanse it And from its impurities of the sons of israel so consecrated When he finishes atoning for the holy place and the tent of meeting and the altar He shall offer the live goat Then Aaron shall lay both of his hands on the head of the live goat now And confess over it all the iniquities of the sons of israel and all their transgressions In regard to all their sins and and he shall lay on them On the head of the goat and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who stands in readiness The goat shall look what he says The goat shall bear on itself all the iniquities to a solid sort solitary land And he shall release the goat into the wilderness That's a lot We'll cover some just saying just Then Aaron shall come into the tent of the meeting and take off the linen the garment Which he put on when he went to the holy place and shall leave them there He shall bathe his body with water in a holy place and put on his clothes And come forth and shall offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people And make atonement for himself and for the people Then he shall offer up in smoke the fat of the sin offering on the altar The the one who released a goat as a scapegoat shall wash his clothes also And bathe his body with water and then afterwards he shall come into the camp But the bull of the sin offering and the goat of the sin offering whose blood was brought was brought into make atonement for the holy place Shall be taken outside the camp and they shall burn their hides their flesh and all their Refuse in the fire Then the one who burns them shall wash his clothes and bathe his body with the water Then afterwards he shall come into the camp in other words Being unclean now you shall be clean before the lord Now let's stop for a second. Let's gather one. Let me gather my breath So let's read what has happened is The priest himself in this case erin Needs to be in right standing so he shall be atoned for first Then we're going to atone for the people The place And the people shall be atoned for their sin is so disgusting even the place Needs to be sanctified Then we're going to take this live goat Confess all of the sins of the people Now Do we think that he went and Went down this person named every last sin that this person had Go down the sins of every last sin this person has No, he's not doing that. He's not saying Barbara Cust Barbara stole Barbara lied Barbara covered Frank covered it Frank Didn't report a crime. No, that's not what he's doing He's confessing all of the sins of all the people on this goat now by the way This is for all of national israel. I need you guys to hear this This is for all of Yeah, Frank. I'm sorry. This is for all of israel This has been done for all of israel Notice we also have Offerings for for a person individually as well But this is the day of atonement for the entirety of a nation. Thank you. Hey, renay This is important guys This is important pay attention to what's happening This is for Who let me ask let's let's let's just stop here for a second Who is this for? According to the passage that we've just that we just read Who is this atonement who was atonement being made for? Which should be pretty easy answer because I just kind of gave you the answer Who is this atonement being made for? Okay, wane says israel spider monkey says israel israel Cameron says I But I want you to be specific Wayne Manning says the whole the whole world Okay, okay Jeff says israel The entire Nate the entire assembly dutch says the nation of israel The answer is for all of not for all the world But for all of israel for the nation As well as whoever is in the midst of them Who's ever If it's an alien if it's a slave and sojourner whoever it is Only though if they are partaking of this covenant, they've been circumcised and so forth Now just because you just you're just passing through You're just passing through and you hanging out with the with the jews. No, that's not for you That's not for you If some jebusite decided, you know what the god of of israel i'm with them Well, if he if he is part of if he's been circumcised and so forth. Amen But it's not for everybody But it could be for everybody. But in this case, this is for all of the nation This is important guys. This is very important Propitiation is being made for all of israel Does all of israel is all of israel saved? Or is all of israel going to be atone for? That's a 64 thousand dollar question now. We're going to keep reading But it's vitally important that you know who perpetuation is made for Remember all of the sins of all of the people are being placed onto the head of the scapegoat He's not going down this person's name this person's name that person's name that person's name that person's name So it's not individual names sins of individual people that have been put on there It's the sin of all of israel that's being placed on the scapegoat Are you with me? I want to clarify that point first before we go forward It is important that you know this Now let's go to verse 29 He says this is a permanent statute for you in the seventh month on the tenth day of the month You shall humble your souls and not do any work Whether the native or the alien who sojourns among you for it is on that day That atonement shall be made for you to cleanse you You'll be you'll be clean from all your sins before the lord It is a Sabbath of solemn rest for you that you may humble your souls. It is a permanent statute So now what's happening here is this When he says it's permanent does that mean that this ritual This ceremony is going to happen forever. No The implications of it what's actually happening will be a permanent statute There is going to be some changing We'll see this later. Obviously in the person of Jesus But this is going to be forever But notice what he says Nobody is going to be able to work in the seventh month On the tenth day you shall humble your souls or someone will say afflict your soul What does that mean? Well, you're fasting not eating. You're not working You're not eating You're getting you get yourself right. You're getting your mind right your heart, right? Okay It's a it's a solemn assembly before the lord And so your focus is on him Okay Even the alien amongst you he can't work the sojourners they can't work If they're passing through no no work. No nothing Everything comes to a standstill For it for it is on this day that atonement shall be made For you to cleanse you You will be clean from all your sins before the lord that is that obviously can't mean that everybody is going to be clean And everybody won't be atoned for but it's there for you for everyone It's a it's possible. It is to be a Sabbath of solemn rest for you that you may humble your souls It is a permanent statue. So the priests who so the priests who was anointed In ordained to serve as priests in his father's place shall make atonement. This is vitally important as well The priest who is ordained It's going to be that priest who is going to make atonement for you He shall thus put on the linen garments the holy garments and make atonement for the holy sanctuary He shall make atonement for the tent of meanings for the altar. This is just reiterating what we already been told He shall also make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly For who for all the people of the assembly now You shall have this as a permanent statue to make atonement for the sons of israel for all their sins Once every year. This is national guys For this group of people these jews for israel And just as the lord had commanded moses. So he did so once a year Oh, no, no, no, no way. No, no, no, no the way he says so the aliens can't be atoned for they could Anyone could be atoned for if they want to participate in it. But again They would have to accept the covenant themselves as well if they're men they have to be circumcised So if you show up and you're 34 years old and and you won't accept this covenant, then you're going to be a 34 year old circumcised man But you see the greater benefits you see that god is god There's always been we talked about this before that in every covenant Whoever the covenant is for Is not necessarily who whoever the covenant is going to affect there are other people outside the covenant I also will benefit from it and some will suffer as a result of it as well For example in the no way covenant the covenant is made with who? Well, it's only only Noah's there and his wife and his sons and the son's wives But who benefits from it what we all do the animals do and we do too even today even folks who don't even know god Who cared not to know god they are still beneficiaries up under the old covenant It's made with israel But can other folks benefit from it sure And certainly others will be affected by it in many cases to the negative The hit tithes the jeffrey sites and so forth Same thing with the new covenant. This is where we're gonna a lot of us are going to depart from this Uh, but the new covenant as it says is made with israel, but does that mean that no one else can have any sort of benefit from it? Everybody has a benefit because of what the new covenant is going to bring about Or every believer even though the new covenant is specifically made with israel Even gentile believers take part or benefit from it That's how we look at every single covenant even even the the the bittic covenant This covenant is specifically made with david the house of david But you're gonna tell me jesus sitting on the throne doesn't benefit more than just david's house Sure it does I would still say I would recommend you guys Uh, it's it's I don't know how long the video is about an hour and a half This video that we did over covenants understanding the covenants And how they all work together in concert pointing us to ultimate reconciliation Now I ask a question. What is the point of this? What is the atonement for? The atonement or the the he rewards kafar. It does three things or realize to say two things It brings about a third thing The first thing there's a covering then secondly, there's a canceling and the third thing that it brings about is reconciliation You cannot have a reconciliation without the first two And I use as an example before how if someone has stolen from me they've sent I and I use my little I've used different examples. I use my colts cup Let's just uh Let's let's use let's use julia She has stolen my cup. She was covering my colts cup She Love the the the blueness of it the color of it Awesome team And so she wanted she stole my colts cup and I'm hurt. I'm upset with julia because she stole my colts cup Julia doesn't really want to be a thief, but it's a colts cup. She stole my cup And julia says corrie. Could you ever forgive me? I say sure I say sure I forgive you julia But you know what julia is doing While asking me for forgiveness She's drinking out of my colts cup in front of me. I got a problem with that julia I love this cup You stole my cup and now you asking for forgiveness while drinking out of my cup What are we going to do julia if if we ever want reconciliation? So here's what happens I By being the offended party Julia, I want us to be reconciled. So here's what I want you to do first of all Put my cup down. That's number one. You can't keep standing before me. I'm literally looking at you Drinking out of my cup Not only are you drinking out of my cup julia you're drinking Coffee which is fine And you had the audacity to put some oat milk Or some soy milk or some almond milk in there You have you almost defiled my cup. It could have been at least some cow milk But you defiled give me my cup back She cleans my cup out And gives between us a note. Nope. Nope. Here's what I want. I want not not only just this cup I want another cup. I want a golden colts cup I want this cup with a golden colts cup and and julia I want a set of season tickets to season tickets to the enabler's colts. That's eight tickets nine depending on the year That's what I want She's like, that's a lot. That's a lot. It was just a cup. So You can't tell me what's required for me to be for me to forgive you so now Now I say This is what I want julia says. Okay fine julia gives me my cup back. She rinses all that nasty Soy milk, uh almond milk stain out of it brings me a brand new golden colts cup And two season tickets On the 50-yard line Amen You know what I can't do with julia Because after the sin has been covered. I don't I no longer see it anymore because she didn't have my my cup After the debt has been paid I mean and I mean thoroughly gave my colts cup back brought me a new colts cup The debt has been paid. I don't I don't see the sin the debt has been paid Now, what are we? We're reconciled You know what I can never do to julia I won't ever come back and say julia. Do you remember that time you stole my colts cup? Now, I remember it happening. She remembers it too. But I'm like, I can't bring it up why Because that was the terms that I set She didn't I did I set that I would be unjust if I say that you have the terms have been met Reconciliation can occur and then I come back and say now, you know what I'm second thought. Well, wait a second. I'm not just I'm a liar That's not our god And so what god does is in this regard He declares us a person in right standing They are justified Atonement has been has been made and so now they've been reconciled And what god will not do is come back and take a person who's been justified and say, yeah, you remember before you were justified It's bothered me It's by your your old sin is bothering me. No, that is not what god does That is not what god does. That's not how god behaves. And so in that regard The same way that reconciliation is made In here or the little the little silly example that I use my colts cup is what's happening here So once reconciliation is made Um, then you're fine the problem with this though. This is for one year Year after year after year Are you with me and it is a permanent statue Obviously, we know what the permanent part is because this is going to happen With some permanency with better elements is going to be a better high priest. There's going to be a better scapegoat There's going to be a better sacrificial offering and then the good news also with this is that That high priest that we're going to have won't have to have atonement for himself So no, I didn't shave. I'm going a little I'm uh I will shave this evening though. I'll shave tomorrow For church when I go to church I I plan to go to church as smooth as I can be Here and here. I gotta leave a little something there because I think I think a grown man ought to have some hair But you don't need a whole lot of hair on your face That's just if you don't if if you get two things a day you'll get one The the importance of the atonement and two Men don't need a whole lot of hair on their face. That is if you know, if you've got an adorable looking face You can just shave your head like like paul Like elisha You can be bald If you want to have a beard, it's okay a beard. Listen a beard is okay. A beard is okay Now she let's stop getting us off topic Now I want to point out An important passage Very important passage We got two more things to cover And then we're gonna be out. We're gonna be through So let's go to leviticus Stay in leviticus And I want to go to an important passage now. By the way, we just saw that this is and this is a permanent Matter of fact, let's go back to it. Let's go back chapter seven. I mean 16 And I want to read look at the word that's used here This word right here for this for this atonement. He says now you shall have this as a permanent statute The word that's used here is the word alarm, which is forever everlasting into the ages Okay Amen, wait a second. I I've got to pull that up. Amen Jackie says she's being baptized tomorrow. Amen. Praise God Jackie Amen Y'all give y'all give Jackie an amen in the chats Amen Let everybody know Whose side you're on who you love who redeemed you? Praise God for that. But now this word again Permanent is this word alarm Eternal forever into the ages into eternity So this is going to be something that's going to happen or it's going to be a statute forever How could it possibly be forever if at some point in time? We want to you realize Jews if they wanted to they couldn't keep this if they wanted to They couldn't they couldn't do they there's no high priest. No scapegoat. No Sacrificial offering no place to even give the offering So how could this possibly be an eternal or forever statute? I'll let you all figure it out. You all know Now let's go to 17 Since he's got to make this atonement on the altar For atonement for the people's souls Look what he says in chapter 17 Let's look at Let's look at verse 11 For the life of the flesh now you're speaking about eating things and having blood in it And he's and he's trying to make a point about Misusing or defiling or defaming or defiling yourself even with blood He says for the life of the flesh is in the blood God has determined that blood is what he is going to require why because without blood you can't live Without blood you can't live. I don't care what science is doing. If you ain't got blood you ain't living For the life of the flesh is in the blood and look what he says And I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls For it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement Now we've covered this before Some of you guys can repeat this without me even saying it matter of fact Does anyone know what I'm getting ready to say you you all You all Chest champs chest champs should be able to repeat this Fores and backwards carol should be able to see she carol is probably going to get tattooed with this with this verse I'm pretty sure she has Dutch you should know it Cephas rock jeff you should know it Sheila should know it Spider-man some of you guys should just know this what where am I anola You were here the last time we started this bible said the first time before we canceled it before we postponed it You should know where am I going with chapter 17 verse 11? I know we haven't covered it yet in this study But in the previous study and I don't know how many other times before We have covered this and so for those who are just now joining our those are going to watch it later There's something awfully special here There's something awfully special here and how does this even relate to this person this angel that God is telling that that it's going to go before these people because remember all of this is happening All of this is happening at the same time About the angel going before them into the land Giving of the law and this is all part of it. Remember it. Let's go back to the to the old testament We see that we have Just below Just below the book of exodus the complimentary book to the book of exodus is the book of leviticus and due to around me. So all of these are given Fairly close together if not at the same time. We don't know But fairly close together. So if they're hearing what moses is saying in exodus They're also hearing what he said or what's written of in leviticus and due to run It's not like that they were written 30 years 40 years later. No So these are complimentary books. So what they have already heard in regards to What what's happening during the exodus they're hearing this also Why is that important because they are seeing the glory of the lord Moses is getting to see the hindered parts of the glory They see they're seeing this consuming fire on this mountain and know that that's god They've been told that this angel is going to go before them and he can forgive sins and he's also called god So there's this interaction with god even on a personal level Now think about this. There's an interaction with god on a personal level They're being taken to a land and god has given them this way where they can stand In just in a just state in a righteous state before in them before god justified a tone four Okay, but where is this personal interaction with god in this Where is the personal interaction with god as well? We could say with with the priest as god accepts this because they have to Have faith that god did accept it And the very fact that the the priest came out alive was good enough reason but chapter 17 verse 11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given to and I have given it to you on the altar called down, which is All of the blood. I'm sorry. Yeah all the blood And this word Hua Natin Pani Wait, so where am I? I'm sorry. I'm in verse 10. I'm in verse 10 I'm in verse 10. I'm sorry There it is There it is. I mean, yeah, I'm in I'm in verse 10 I know that that that that thing looked a little bit from unfamiliar But here he's saying The life of the flesh is in the blood Then this this next clause he says and I have given it to you on the altar Hua, I need not that team like I'm all Mitspika I'm sorry. Mitspika And I I have given it to you now this to you is in the plural. So to you all I've given to y'all Upon the altar to make Atonement for the souls So what Cory? What are you saying? Well, let me tell you what I'm saying This word right here Where where we see I have given it to you on the altar this word given This word not that team literally means I have given Which is fine. That's all you need in Hebrew. I have given I have given what I have given the blood on the altar for you But this other word right before it remember Hebrew reads not like English or Greek left to right it reads from right to left It reads I need not that team So he says I I have given What you don't need to put I in front of the I have given you don't have to say I I have given That doesn't make any it makes sense if you're trying to make a point Or what's the point you're trying to make God? Well the point that I'm trying to make mister Since you want to ask is that I'm not just giving you the blood I myself am giving you the blood Now someone can come back and argue that that that's not how that reads It's possible that you can read it that he's just providing him through some other source. It's possible But it's also possible a matter of fact likely that he's saying I myself am giving this blood on the altar Because when we go forward and keep reading especially when we get to the book of Hebrews in the new testament He brings up all of this stuff The writer of Hebrews is bringing up the atonement for us these these sacrifices for us and that it is a permanent statute But it's only done once This is why he can make the statement. This is a permanent statute In this case it lasts one year year after year after year, but this is a permanent statute That Jesus does once How could that be well because all it took was once And why is it permanent and how how is it ongoing into the ages? Because he himself is God, which is why he makes a statement in Hebrews 10 Sacrifices and offerings you didn't desire but wait a second if you don't desire these sacrifices and offerings Then why are we given sacrifices and offerings? Huh? Good question? Why are you why are you requiring us to give sacrifices and offerings? Offerings Put that on pause. He says sacrifices and offerings you did not desire But a body you have prepared for me referring back to leviticus 1711 A body you have prepared for me to do what to do just what this atonement requires As paul says to put an end to the law The end of the law is the very end is what's required this atonement that you can be in right standing That's the whole point. But now what is the law requiring the law is requiring that we act in accordance We don't act in accordance because that's just not who we are We don't typically want to avoid seeing as a matter of fact We tend to want to run to say we want to embrace it or at least at least kiss it Hug it a little bit and kiss it and you know, no one's looking. That's our that's our propensity. That's our That's what we're prone to do Even those of us that are safe, you know what if no one's watching Let me just okay Forgive me lord. That's what happens Now Why is this even important? Well, again Jesus ends up becoming what god is stating in 1711 This offering is no longer happening that way. It happened one time on the cross And propitiation was made a payment was made for anybody who wants it only those who place their faith in it Will it be effective? But the debt is nailed to the cross There's a problem There's one big glaring problem with all of what god is doing and there it is a problem. It's a problem I'm not misspeaking. There is a there is a problem the problem is mankind's heart What this covenant was not designed to do was to change the Disposition of the heart Although you are commanded in this covenant to change the disposition of your heart to change your heart Matter of fact, let's go do it around me for this while I'm meant to read. I was in Leviticus 4 25 earlier He says when you when you become the father of children and children's children and have remained long in the land and act corruptly and Make an idol in the form of anything and do that which is evil in the sight of the lord your god So as to provoke him to anger I will I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that you will surely perish quickly from the land Where you are going over The Jordan to possess it. You shall not live long on it, but will utterly But will be utterly destroyed Where did she where did she go get this dog out of here get coconut Never mind. Never mind. She's fine. She's fine. She'll sit there. She'll sit there close the door Coconut is here guys. And so we'll just we'll just let coconut sit. She's going over to her little palate to sit down She wants to hang out With a bald head person. There's nothing more girls in there. She wants to hang out with a guy. I understand But nobody says says you shall live long on it But will utterly but will be utterly destroyed the lord will scatter you among the peoples And you will be left few in number among the nations where the lord drives you There you will serve gods the work of man's hands wood and stone which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell But from there you will seek the lord your god And you will find him if you search for him with all your heart and all your soul Look what he says If you search for him with all your heart with all your soul When you are in distress and all these things have come upon you in the latter days In the latter days in the latter days You will return to the lord your god and listen to his voice for the lord your god is a compassion god He will not fail you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant with your fathers, which he swore Of course, what's the god doing anything? Well Israel is going to mess up This is his heart issue i'm talking about they're going to mess up. They're going to be put in a foreign land They're going to be brought back But he says now if you seek me i want you to seek me with all your heart all your mind all your soul Which kind of brings up What is spoken of matter of fact here in this passage What he says what what is the greatest commandments? Well, what does jesus say he says in chapter 22 verse 37 of matthew and he said them You shall love the lord your god with all your heart with all your soul and with all your mind What is this reminiscing of this is reminiscent of Deuteronomy chapter Six so let's go to the run of me Move from 425 the chapter six Five Matter of fact instead of 65 let's go to 64 he says hero israel The lord our god the lord is one. This is a shema where he's explaining who he is Why well think about this Why would he even need to say the lord your god the lord is one by the way? He used a plurality a plural form in this as well, but why would he say so? Well from from their standpoint They have seen and heard that this is god But how could that be? You mean tell me that's that that that's god that cloud of fire or that cloud of smoke. That's god This angel that goes before us. That's god The the burning bush that that Moses met that's god that that's god Yes, all these different instances of god showing up the lord your god is one I don't want you to even think that there are multiple gods There are not there's one god even though that there are all these other gods amongst these nations do not go serve them But the lord your god the one delivered you he is one and look what he says first five He says you shall love the lord your god with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your Might these words. I am commanding you today Um shall be on your heart problem. We got a problem We do not have a good heart for you Your heart is not a good heart. Hold on a second You said uh breakdown deuteronomy 6 24 Okay, uh, let's start in 23 he says he brought us out of out from there from egypt In order to bring us in to give us the land which he has sworn to our father So the lord commanded us to observe all these statutes to fear the lord our god For our good always and for our survival as it is today It will be righteousness for us if we are careful to observe all these all this commandment before the lord our god Just as he commanded i'm is there anything specific Out of that julie that that that you want it um The command though because there this command is reiterated a bunch of times To love him to follow him to adhere to his status to his teachings and what they won't do it as a matter of fact Let's go to this passage He says so circumcise your heart And stiffen your neck no longer Get your heart right Fix your heart right God keeps commanding them to get their heart right They never do God keeps commanding them asking them get your heart right. They never do Now we're almost finished Because i want to i want to end on something Now he's going to say something Um, he's telling he's telling them to get your heart right get your heart right get your heart right what i just say a second go The old covenant the mosaic lord does not Deal with their heart It gives them the statutes to live by But their heart didn't fix There's no promise in the covenant in the old covenant that he will fix their heart However, he does go on in deuteronomy 30 Uh-oh He goes on in deuteronomy 30 and tells them that he will Fix their heart now In deuteronomy 30 he starts off talking about how they are going to that even got they haven't even entered the land yet They haven't even entered the land yet and he tells them that you are going to be put out of the land We'll get to the why in just a second and then we'll be through Can't law your way to a new heart. No, you cannot. No, you cannot. No, you cannot johnny Um, but these curses are going to come upon them and who's going to bring the curses upon them He will he's going to take them out of the land because of the fact that they will not adhere to his statutes. They will not follow God has a problem with sin If you don't know that yet in these first few books that we've read you should God has a problem with sin And so because of that he wants to deal something he wants to deal with us But he's also going to show his punishment But he says that matter of fact, let's start in verse one He says so shall be when all of these things come upon you The blessings and the curse which I have said before you recover this one last week And you call to call them the mind in all the nations where the lord your god has banished you Which we just read he says he's gonna do Um And you return to the lord your god and obey him with all your heart and soul according to that All that I command you today you and your sons then the lord your god will restore you from captivity And have compassion on you and will gather you again from all the peoples where the lord your god has scattered you So god is going to be one that's going to scatter them because of their sin If your outcasts are at the end of the earth from there the lord your god will gather you and from there He will bring you back. So this issue of who's a real jew? You ain't got to worry about it. God does He'll bring them back at the lord the verse five the lord your god will bring you into the land Which your fathers possess and you shall possess it and you will prosper he will prosper you and multiply you more than your fathers Moreover, here it is the the lord your god will Circumcise your heart now. He's telling them to get their heart right. He's already told them As a matter of fact in other pastors previous to this he's spoken to them about their heart But here he says that he will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants To love the lord your god with all your heart with all your soul so that you may live Now he's told them to do so. He's told them To love the lord your god with all your heart with all your soul Circumcise your heart and do that what they never do So he is going to circumcise their heart and then he Is going to cause them by him circumcising their heart to cause them to love god with all their heart with all their So are you with me now? This is why this is important. Let's go to Back to exodus I mentioned something earlier That we didn't we didn't Talk about too much It says you shall sow your land for six years and gather in its yield But on the seventh year you shall let it rest So he's saying that there's going to be this um The Sabbath for the land when we go to leviticus he gives more detail on this leviticus 26 26 what 26 Well, you know, wait a second before we go there. Let's go to the leviticus 25 first Let's start off there. Let's just because only four verses in leviticus 25 I don't want to read there's more verses in leviticus 26 Then the lord spoke to moes at mount sinai. So this is all happening at the same time guy At mount sinai saying speak to the sons of israel and say to them when you come into the land, which I shall give you Which is kind of funny when you come into the land, which I shall give you Oh, by the way after you get into that land that I'm going to give you I'm gonna boot you out Here's one of the reasons why when you come to the land, which I shall give you Then the land shall have a Sabbath of the lord Six years you shall sow your field and six years You shall prune your vineyard and gather in crops gather its crops But during the seventh year the land shall have a Sabbath rest a Sabbath of the lord You shall not sow your field nor prune your vineyard All right Now let's go to chapter 26 Because there's some passages we need to read in there goes even more in in depth with this But he covers a few more things. So let's start in chapter 26. Let's start in verse Let's start in verse one You shall not make for yourselves idols Nor shall you set up for yourselves an image or a sacred pillar Nor shall you place a figured stone in your land to bow down to it now So when I asked the question before in the previous episode is it okay to make carved images just generally? That's okay. But if you're going to bow down and worship him now, we've got a problem Look what he says you shall keep my Sabbaths and reverence my sanctuary I am the lord if you walk in my statues and keep my commandments So as to carry them then I shall give you its rains in their seasons So that the land will yield its produce and the trees of the field will bear fruit Verse five Indeed your threshing will be will last for you until great gathering And the great gathering will last until sowing time You will thus eat your food to the fool and live securely in the land So he's promised him a good life to live in this land I shall also grant peace in the land so that you may lie down with no one making you tremble You're gonna have to be afraid of anyone I shall also remain harmful beasts from the land and no sword will pass through your lands In other words, no lions tigers and bears are mine. No nothing. No animals will come to eat you But you will chase your enemies and they will fail before you by the sword Five of you will chase a hundred and a hundred of you will chase 10,000 Now I want to go to this pass. So we see what he's speaking up. Let's drop down to verse 11 Moreover, I will make my dwelling among you and my soul will not reject you by the way this word We're gonna deal with this passage later this this word for soul later But I will also walk among you and be your guide and you shall be my people Important I am the lord your god who brought you up out of the land of egypt that you Would not be their slaves and I broke the bars of your yoke and made you walk erect Okay, so we're so you are you guys following? Okay, are you guys following? Let's go to verse 18 drop down to verse 18 If you also if also after these things you do not obey me, then I will punish you Seven more times now keep in mind though. This is all in accordance to Leviticus as well as exodus are you with me so Notice what he says though. I will then punish you Seven times more for your sins Read that again If you also after these things do not obey me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins so What does god say he's telling them about this land that you must keep this Sabbath for Don't have these idols take care of the land that i'm giving you this land is a blessing for you But then you if you violate this If you violate this then I will punish you Seven times more Write this down Because this has a Wait, let me just let me just say it now because I don't want I don't want to forget This seven times that he's going to he's going to punish them for violating this Sabbath We're going to find out later. We want to date, but they're going to violate this Sabbath 70 times They're going to violate this Sabbath 70 times 70 of the 7th they're going to violate it and so he's going to punish them Time seven you you catch that I'm going to punish you time seven Now yeah, it is uh, we're almost finished though Jesus makes a statement talk to these Jews. Well, how long I mean time shall we forgive our brothers if he sins against us 70 times seven What should that how should that? Resonate with him It's to resonate because Wait a minute dog on it these Jews probably said no, they didn't say dog on it. They probably cuss But if it was me dog on it 70 times seven where have I heard that before? Oh, yeah, I know In two places. There's a prophecy that's also going to come about where where Daniel is praying How many years Or what's prophesied for our people the an angel comes and says 70 times 70 or 77s are prophesied for your people And referencing this land and dealing with sin because the one thing that this Covenant doesn't do is does it deal with their heart? In this covenant in this prophecy it's going to deal with their heart Now let's keep reading back a little bit because 26 27 he says yet if you spite Yes, yet if in spite you do this You do not obey me but act hot with hostility against me Then I will act with wrathful hostility against you and I even I will punish you seven times for your sin There it is again Further you will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters you will eat I then will destroy your high places and cut down your incense altars and heat your remains on the remains of your idols For my soul shall pour you now Real briefly somebody's going to want to bring up the the Hebrew is likes want to bring this up This chapter Does this mean that he literally means that they will eat the flesh of their people Well a couple things In history there has been times where the Jews have done just that If we go later forward into Second Kings, there was this great famine And Elijah is there And there was a family the family was so great that people were eating their children That's how that's how great it was And there's other times where they were where they were sold and slavery and so forth and then there was reports of cannibalism Go back to it verse 30. I will then destroy your high places and cut down your incense altars and heat your remains I'm sorry verse 31 I will lay waste of your cities as well and make your Sanctuary's desolate and I will not smell your soothing aroma so you can give all these offerings that you want to It's not going to be for me I will make the land desolate so that your enemies who settle in it will be appalled over it You however, I will scatter among the nations and will draw out a sword after you As your land becomes desolate and your city become waste that hasn't happened Except to Israel Then the land will enjoy its Sabbath all the days of the desolation So other words the land is going to get its rest. It just will get its rest without you While you are in your enemy's land Then the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbath. So how long will they be in exile for 70 years? All the days of its desolation it will observe It will observe your Sabbath while you were living on it as for those Of you who may be left I will also bring weakness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies And the sound of a driven leaf will chase will chase them And even when no one is pursuing they will flee as though from the sword and they will fall They will therefore stumble over each other as if running from the sword Although no one is pursuing First or date, but you will perish among will perish among the nations And your enemy's land will consume you So those of you who may be left will rattle away because of their iniquity in the lands of your enemies and also because of their iniquities of their forefathers I will gather I'm sorry the forefathers they will rattle away with them if they confess their iniquities Listen to this and the iniquity of their forefathers in their unfaithfulness Which they committed against me and also in their acting with hostility against me I also was acting with hostility against them to bring them into the land of their enemies That's what he just said you were acting a certain way towards me So now I'm doing it towards you why to bring you back into to your lands To bring them into the land of their enemies or if their uncircumcised hearts become humbled So that they then make amends for their iniquities. How is their uncircumcised hearts going to become humbled? Well, they won't do it. But this prophecy says speaks of their hearts being changed Then I will remember my covenant with Jacob. I will remember my covenant also with Isaac I will remember my covenant with Abraham as well and I will remember the land Stop for a second and we're almost through. I'm going to remember my covenant with Abraham What is so he's speaking to think about this for a second guys That's why I said the the understanding of the covenants and how they fit together is important This is them under the old covenant being taken out This new covenant is going to be with Israel to bring them as they're being brought back in after being brought back in There's this new covenant that's going to be made with them But why is he going? Why is this new covenant being initiated with Israel? Why because of the former covenant that he made with who with Abraham with Isaac and Jacob? And in what regards is how we know this specifically for them because what does he say? I will remember the land what land the land of these promise to Israel for the land will be abandoned by them by these jews and will make up for sabbath while it's made Desolate with them They meanwhile the jews will be making amends for their iniquities because they rejected my ordinances And their soul abhorred my statutes. Remember they kept sinning god has a promise with their sins Yet in spite of this when they are in the land of their enemies. I will not reject them Even though they deserve it. I will not reject them nor will I so abhor them So as to destroy them breaking my covenant with them for I am the lord of the gods So yeah, even though you broke my covenant, I'm not going to break it Even though you don't deserve it. I'm going to do this. Why because I'm still going to remember the covenant I made the previous covenant with your four fathers But I will remember them I remember for them the covenant with their ancestors that is Abraham Isaac and Jacob And their descendants who I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations that I might be their god I am the lord these are the statutes and ordinances and the laws which the lord established between himself And the sons of israel through moses at mount sinai Now we can take a breath So what is happening with the law? He gives this for them To see his goodness They don't he says all you got to do is obey All you have to do is this they don't Because you don't I'm going to take you out of the land. But wait a minute god. We hadn't even gotten in the land. I know but I know what you're going to do No, no, no, no, no god. No, we are okay, but I'm going to take you out of the land anyway Uh, and I'm gonna I'm going to do to you what you did to me but I will not forget the promise that I made with your four fathers and the promise of covenant that I had with Not just them but also the land The covenant that I had with abraham and isek and jakeb What was this covenant that I had with abraham isek and jakeb? It wasn't the new covenant. It wasn't the old covenant. It was the abrahamic covenant and that land In telling them or or or or having deal with them was also brought up in that covenant What else is in that covenant? This is where we're going to end guys. What else is in that covenant? This is the good news Let's go to genesis 12 In this covenant, he says I will make you this is abrahamic covenant I will make you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great And so you shall be a blessing and I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those who curse you And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed I'm not jewish. I'm not a physical descendant of abraham I'm not a physical descendant of isek I'm not a physical descendant of jakeb But he's talking about me in this covenant He's talking about you in this covenant He says in you all the families of the earth will be blessed Remember he's talking about him remembering the covenant and him bringing them out of this land Let me just do this real quick. I don't I shouldn't go here. I really shouldn't go here, but I have to I have to go here Because I want you all to see because really i'm getting too happy. I'm getting too happy They violated the covenant They violated the covenant or the uh the Sabbath for the land 70 times He's gonna punish them time seven So as they're in this exile for 70 years for violating 70 Sabbaths. Look what he says Look what he says As daniel is praying they're getting ready to come back to the land because 70s is up So let me hear a word from you god and the angel shows up the angel says this he says 70 weeks have been decreed for your people and holy city that's the land To finish the transgression to make an end of sin That's the heart To make an end of sin to make atonement for iniquity. That's so they can be in right standing before the lord To bring in everlasting righteousness again before the lord to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild drusen until messiah The prince there will be seven weeks and 62 weeks It will be built again with the plasma most verse 26 then after 62 weeks messiah will be cut off What does that have to do with anything corrie? Well, we're the 77s that were brought up God doesn't forget his word. We might we might think god didn't literally mean what he said But god literally meant that's why he literally said what he said He's like what we say sometimes. I mean what I say and say what I mean What's going to happen with this is all starts back with the abrahamic covenant He's going to remember us in it as well Take them out of their land bring them back into their land as he brings them back into their land because he's going to Remember his covenant that he made with abraham He's going to fix the one problem that's always dogged not only just the jews But also gentiles also adam and eve also can enable also everyone else is our heart issue And so what is he going to do according to this? He's going to start fixing hearts now And we see this this covenant is also reiterated with ezekiel. It's reiterated with jeremiah What he's going to do he's going to start fixing hearts And because the covenant in abraham says that he won't just bless them He's going to bless us. Who else is hard is he going to fix? He's going to fix us because he says i'm going to call these people my people but not just us He says i don't get ahead of myself. He says i'm going to call up people who are not my people to be my people I'm going to take those folks Who are not my people yet? Use them to make you guys jealous as you made me jealous previously That's what i'm going to do And in one fell swoop He is going to deal with israel and he's going to deal with the gentiles. He's going to fix their hearts And he's going to fix our heart. He's going to deal with their land and he's going to deal with us as well This is why it's important that we understand what's happening here We don't have to thank lose heart because of what's going on God has not forgotten god is a god who remembers his word So that being said, let me also do this real quick Thank you for all you guys who also gave him super chats and super stickers. I could not do it as I was going Because I know he had a lot. This has been a long one. So um Oh, I get it unequal unequal to god I like that. Thank you tie your guy a renae Hush 800. Thank you all for the super chats and super stickers. I appreciate that for the rest you guys. I thank you for your I thank you for your patience. This was a long one. My throat is sore. I'm tired I'm tired my eyeballs are hurting looking at this screen But anyway, uh, this is necessary. I do actually I do enjoy this though. I really do I really do but I we had to get past this point so that we can zoom next week next week We have to go back and look at everything and see how the pieces fit together Amen, next week. It won't won't be nearly as long about an hour hour and a half at the most But I had to get past this point so um, it'll become more of a Bible survey or the bible survey component will be added more so to it. So anyway guys Thank you so much Let others know about this because there are some people who hope when we get to other Issues that we talk about Other passages other doctors or other studies like well, you would understand how to read this if we learn how to read the bible Remember so far Everything that we've read We've read with a literal hermeneutic With just a plan ring the right the same way that you read a newspaper the same way that you read Uh, a menu the same way that you read a manual or directions the same way you read everything else Is how you read the bible the bible didn't expect you to all of a sudden become super smart super great super Holy super spiritual. No, just read the right way Read it in this little we have been going with a literal grammatical historical hermeneutic And so far even folks who don't have that hermeneutic won't disagree with our conclusions because we're they literally are reading it literally as well so See if how we're reading it dud since it won't change if everything fits together We don't have to say I think maybe what happens because he's literally telling us what he's going to do Hey, man. All right guys. Thank you so much and I will see you all later. Be blessed
