Lampstand. 7-headed lamp, in the image of a tree (Ex. -

WHY LITERAL SACRIFICES IN THE MILLENNIUM Tom's Perspectives by Thomas Ice A common objection to the consistent literal interpretation of Bible prophecy is found in Ezekiel’s Temple vision (Ezek. 40—48). Opponents argue that if this is a literal, future Temple, then it will require a return to the sacrificial system that Christ made obsolete since the prophet speaks of “atonement” (kiper) in Ezekiel 43:13, 27; 45:15, 17, 20. This is true! Critics believe this to be a blasphemous contradiction to the finished work of Christ as presented in Hebrews 10. Hank Hanegraaff says that I have “exacerbated the problem by stating that without animal sacrifices in the Millennium, Yahweh’s holiness would be defiled. That, for obvious reasons, is blasphemous.” He further says that such a view constitutes a return “to Old Covenant sacrifices.”1 “Is it heretical to believe that a Temple and sacrifices will once again exist,” ask John Schmitt and Carl Laney? “Ezekiel himself believed it was a reality and the future home of Messiah. -
Parsha Ki Tavo Parshat Ki Tavo: First Fruits by Leiba Chaya David the Land of Israel Has Been Conquered and Di
Canfei Nesharim: Parsha Ki Tavo Parshat Ki Tavo: First Fruits By Leiba Chaya David The Land of Israel has been conquered and divided, and Jewish farmers have settled into the yearly cycle of growth and harvest. Now they are given a special commandment, one applying only in the Land: they must take their first fruits to the Temple to express their gratitude to G-d. The first verses of this week’s Torah portion of Ki Tavo describe the ritual of bikurim (first fruits): “…you shall take of the first of every fruit of the ground that you bring in from your Land that HaShem, your G-d, gives you, and you shall put it in a basket and go to the place that HaShem, your G-d, will choose…” 1 As we will explore below, the farmers were not only thanking G-d for an abundant harvest, but also affirming the link between G-d, themselves, the Land of Israel, and the collective history of the Jewish nation. The Jewish farmers, upon bringing their bikurim , recited a passage relating their ancestors' journey to and from Egypt. 2 The Land of Israel is the culmination of this journey. The recitation of this passage, in addition to acknowledging Jewish historical continuity, can be understood to reflect the spiritual journey from self-reliance to G-d-reliance. In the Land of Israel, the most basic sense of faith stems from an agricultural dependence on G-d. The Jewish farmer, whose livelihood is entirely dependent on G-d's blessing, must live in a perpetual state of faith and appreciation. -
The Priestly Covenant
1 THE PRIESTLY COVENANT THE SETTING OF THE PRIESTLY COVENANT Numbers begins with God commanding Moses to take a census of the people a little over a year after the Exodus The people have left Mt. Sinai and have begun their journey toward the promised land Numbers covers a period of time known as the wilderness wanderings, the time from when Israel departed Mt. Sinai to when they were about to enter the promised land (a period which lasted 38 years, 9 months and 10 days) The book is called “Numbers” because of the two censuses taken in Numbers 1 and 26 God told them how to arrange themselves as tribes around the tabernacle when camped (Num 2) The Levites were given instructions regarding their special role (Num 3, 4, 8) The people were given instructions regarding defilement and ceremonial uncleanness (Num 5) Instructions regarding the Nazirites were given (Num 6) The people complained after leaving Sinai about their lack of meat so God provided quail (Num 11) Miriam and Aaron rebelled against Moses (Num 12) The 12 spies went into the land and brought back a report which led the people to rebel (Num 13-14) Korah led a rebellion of 250 leaders against Moses (Num 16) Moses and Aaron were told they would not enter the promised land due to Moses’ disobedience (Num 20) God sent a plague amongst the camp for their complaining and then provided the bronze serpent; they defeated Sihon and Og (Num 21) Balak, king of Moab, heard of this great conquering hoard, and sought for Balaam, a seer, to bring a curse on them (Num 22-24) But Balaam blessed Israel 3 different times instead of cursed them 2 “Balaam has spoken God’s word, and God has said that the promises of heir, covenant and land will indeed be fulfilled. -

However, the clear textual The Mysterious White Garments of Yom Kippur association drawn to the Yom Kippur service indicates that the Rav Yonatan Grossman kohen did, in fact, perform this particular service in special linen garments. With the conclusion of the unit dealing with ritual impurity (chap. In a shiur on Parashat Tzav (http://www.vbm- 11-15), Sefer Vayikra proceeds to discuss the purity of torah.org/parsha.61/24tzav.htm), I addressed this brief segment the mishkan itself. After having examined the many forms of and suggested that the verses describe two stages of the ritual impurity that endanger the Shekhina's residence within the removal of the ashes from the altar to outside the camp. In the Israelite camp, the Torah now addresses the solution to this first stage, the kohen lifts the ashes from altar. As this ritual problem: the process of the mishkan's purification, conducted involves direct contact with the altar, the kohen must wear once annually, on Yom Kippur. the bigdei ha-bad. After this stage concludes with the kohen's placing the ashes "next to the altar," the verse then proceeds to I would like to try to identify the function of the special the second stage: the removal of ashes from the altar's side to "bigdei lavan," the white linen garments donned by the kohen an area outside the camp. The kohen no longer works at the gadol on this special day, referred to by the verse as "bigdei ha- altar itself, and may therefore wear other clothing. -

Exodus the Bronze Altar Lesson 38 Exodus 27:1-8 012421 Review
Exodus The Bronze Altar Lesson 38 Exodus 27:1-8 012421 Review/Introduction 1 Last week we began a new 8-week miniseries on the Tabernacle from the book of Exodus and we are calling this series SEE(K)and here’s why: a The Tabernacle is one of the most outstanding revelations of Jesus Christ in all the Old Testament. b Our hope is that as we see Christ more clearly through the revelation of Christ in the Tabernacle that it would lead us to worship him more deeply and seek him more wholeheartedly. 2 To that someone might say, look if you’re trying to see Christ more clearly why not just turn to the gospels or some other portion of the New Testament? a The answer to that is that an understanding of Jesus in the New Testament is very much dependent upon a revelation of Jesus in the Old Testament. b And this is exactly what Jesus taught. To the Pharisees Jesus said, 39 You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me to have life. 46 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. John 5:39–40,46 3 So, Jesus said that the OT Scriptures testify about him and that Moses wrote about him. When or how did Moses write about Jesus? a Well firstly through messianic promises like Genesis 3 and Genesis 12. • In Genesis 3 Moses recorded God’s promise of an offspring from the women that would crush the head of Satan and reverse the curse of Eden and … • In Genesis 12 he recorded God’s promise of an offspring from Abraham through which all nations will be blessed. -
FIRST FRUITS and SHAVUOT: the HARVEST IS the LORD's Shavuot Is the Biblical Holiday Known As the Feast of Weeks. Shavuot Means
Passover that the people of God could enjoy the harvest as free men in the land. The counting of the omer (Deut. 16:9 and Lev. 23:15-16) also connects this feast with Passover. On the day after Passover a sheaf of grain, the first harvested, was to be brought to the priest in the Temple and waved before the Lord as Symbolic of the whole harvest. A year old lamb without spot or blemish was sacrificed at this time. After seven weeks, fifty days after Passover, the people were to present two loaves of bread made from the firstfruits of the grain harvested as a wave offering to the LORD. seven male lambs, one young bull, and two rams were to be offered as a burnt offering. One goat served as a sin offering and two lambs as a fellowship offering. The lambs were waved together with the bread by the priest. The people were commanded to do no regular work and to hold a sacred assembly. FIRST FRUITS AND SHAVUOT: THE HARVEST IS THE LORD'S SIGNIFICANCE FOR NEW COVENANT BELIEVERS Shavuot is the Biblical holiday known as the Feast of Weeks. Shavuot means Just as Jesus came to fulfill the Passover through his death as the Lamb of God, so “weeks” or “sevens” in Hebrew. Pentecost is from the Greek and means “fiftieth.” also the pouring out of the Spirit was the expression of the completed redemption The festival is also referred to as the Feast of Harvest and “Bikkurim,” the Day of he provided. Jesus was raised from the dead as the “firstfruits of them that slept” Firstfruits. -
Shavuot 5768 by Rabbi Gordon Tucker
Shavuot 5768 By Rabbi Gordon Tucker What we are accustomed to calling “Shavuot” or “Chag Ha-Shavuot” (“The Pilgrimage of Weeks,” since it falls seven weeks after the first day of Passover) was known in the Torah by two additional names: (1) “Chag Ha-Katzir” (“The Harvest Pilgrimage”1), because it came at the time of year when the work of harvesting the year’s produce was beginning; and (2) “Yom Ha-Bikkurim” (“The Day of First Fruits”), because it was the occasion on which the first yields of the major crops were set aside to be brought on a pilgrimage to the Temple and presented to the priests with a declaration of acknowledgment to God. Both of these alternate names for the festival turn our attention to deeply important ethical lessons associated with Shavuot, and we shall look at each of them in turn. The Shavuot season was actually inaugurated on the second day of Passover, with the offering at the Temple of a token amount of the early barley harvest and the launching of the seven week count. When many more crops had begun to ripen seven weeks later, the farmer’s obligation to offer the first fruits took effect. This ritual (beautifully and movingly spelled out in the 26th chapter of the book of Deuteronomy) was clearly meant to be a timely reminder that we are neither outright owners of our land, nor as self-sufficient as our self-flattery suggests. Yes, we may be blessed with some control over the means of production (it was land in the ancient world, and it is both that and many other things today). -
Atonement Sacrifices (Part 1)
SESSION 10 Atonement Sacrifices (Part 1) Summary and Goal The first three kinds of sacrifices described in Leviticus are the burnt offering, the grain offering, and the peace offering. The burnt offering was for the removal of the people’s guilt before God; the grain offering restored Israel to serve God and neighbor; and the peace offering was for reconciliation between God and His people. Because of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice, we celebrate the removal of our guilt before God, the freedom to serve God on His mission, and the restoration of our relationship with God. Main Passages Leviticus 1:3-9 Leviticus 2:1-3 Leviticus 3:1-5 Session Outline 1. We need atonement to remove our guilt (Lev. 1:3-9; Heb. 9:12). 2. We need atonement to restore us to service (Lev. 2:1-3; John 12:24). 3. We need atonement to reconcile us to God (Lev. 3:1-5; Eph. 2:13). Theological Theme The burnt offering was for the removal of the people’s guilt before God; the grain offering restored Israel to serve God and neighbor; and the peace offering was for the reconciliation between God and His people. Christ Connection Because of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice, we celebrate the removal of our guilt before God, the freedom to serve God on His mission, and the restoration of our relationship with God. Missional Application Because we have been freed from our guilt, God calls us to serve Him by serving others. Date of My Bible Study: ______________________ 115 © 2015 LifeWay Christian Resources.
