Wnvñ'D>qi rv,a] Ã~l'A[h' %l,mñ, Wnyheñl{a/ hw"hy> hT'a; %WrB' – Torah Study Blessing – Synopsis Last week’s Torah reading (i.e., Mishpatim) explained how the Israelites entered into covenant with the LORD at Mount Sinai. The terms of the covenant were written down in Sefer HaBrit (“the Book of the Covenant”), which contained a variety of laws to govern the people in the Promised Land. When the people agreed to obey the terms of the covenant, Moses took sacrificial blood and threw it on them saying, “Behold the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words.” Moses then re-ascended the mount to receive the tablets of stone inscribed with the Ten Commandments, and to learn additional Torah from the LORD. In this week’s reading, God asked for help “from every man whose heart moves him” to provide materials for making a portable sanctuary called the Tabernacle, a tent-like structure that would symbolize God’s Presence among the Israelites. Gold, silver, brass, red and purple yarns, fine linens, oils, spices, precious stones, etc., all were needed. God said to Moses, “Let them make me a sanctuary so that I may dwell in their midst. Exactly as I show you concerning the pattern of the Tabernacle, and of all its furniture, so you shall make it.” God then showed Moses “the pattern” according to which the Tabernacle and its contents were to be made.

  • PAUL's THEOLOGY Lesson 28 Salvation – Part 4 Metaphor – Propitiation
    PAUL’S THEOLOGY Lesson 28 Salvation – Part 4 Metaphor – Propitiation One of the many people who help our class “go” is Mike Hudgins. For seven years, Mike has led the effort to make sure the sound is working each Sunday morning. Mike has worked through multiple soundboards, with different incarnations of microphones (no Mike/mic bad puns here!), and in multiple venues week in and week out to make sure these lessons are heard in class and beyond. Like so many others, Mike consistently makes personal sacrifices for our benefit. Thank you, Mike! Now when I write of Mike’s sacrifices, I need to pause for a moment. Because if you know Mike well, then you know he is a huge baseball fan. In fact, in addition to Mike’s regular job, Mike also umpires baseball games. These games are serious games, not simply the Saturday afternoon Little League fair. Mike is one of our area’s top umpires. “Sacrifice” has a special meaning to Mike. It is when a batter hits into an out to advance a runner. Today, we are studying “sacrifice.” We are not studying the kind of sacrifice that so many make in order for this class to be as effective as it is. Nor are we studying the kind of sacrifice we might see in a baseball game. We are studying a special type of sacrifice that makes our salvation before God Almighty. We are studying the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ. As we study the sacrifice of Christ, we look specifically at a metaphor Paul uses to describe the working of our salvation: propitiation.

  • Why the Sacrifices?
    Hebrew for Christians www.hebrew4christians.com Why the Sacrifices? Why the Sacrifices? Further Thoughts on Parashat Vayikra Preface: The Bible is described as a “book of blood and a bloody book.” In the Torah, just as in the New Testament, sacrificial blood is connected to atonement and the forgiveness of sin. In this brief article, I explore some of the reasons why the LORD asked for sacrifices as the means to draw near to Him. The Book of Leviticus (i.e., Vayikra: ar"q.YIw) centers on the various laws of sacrifice pertaining to the Mishkan (Tabernacle), and therefore it is undeniable that sacrifice is an integral part of the both Jewish law and the Torah. Indeed, even today the traditional Jewish liturgy includes prayers that appeal for the rebuilding of the Temple and the reinstatement of the sacrificial system. Nonetheless the sages wondered why God demanded offerings of animals and grain as part of his worship. Surely God has no physical need for these things: “For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills” (Psalm 50:10). Unlike pagan sacrificial rites, the sacrifices of the Torah were never intended to “bribe” God or to curry His favor. The Jewish people were designated a “kingdom of priests and a holy nation” during the time of their liberation from Egypt, even before the pattern of the Mishkan had been revealed at Sinai (Exod. 19:6). Let’s review a little Torah history. The very first sacrifice of the Torah was offered by God Himself, when He slaughtered a lamb to cover the shame of Adam and Eve (Gen.

  • The Mercy Seat -The Covering for Sin Exodus 25:17-22
    THE MERCY SEAT -THE COVERING FOR SIN EXODUS 25:17-22 NEED: A COVERING FOR OUR SINS PROPOSITION: THE MERCY SEAT SYMBOLIZES THE PROVISION THAT GOD HAS MADE IN CHRIST FOR THE REMOVAL OF OUR SINS. OBJECTIVE: TO LEAD INDIVIDUALS TO PLACE THEIR TRUST IN THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE FOR SALVATION. INTRODUCTION: Though the mercy seat sat on top of the Ark of Covenant, it was actually separate from the Ark. It was made of one solid piece of gold along with the cherubim that looked down upon the mercy seat. Estimates that have been made stated that the gold in the mercy seat would cost in our day hundreds of thousands of dollars. It was a very expensive, beautiful, sacred part of the tabernacle. We have saved it till last in our consideration of the articles of furniture in the tabernacle. God actually put it first in the scriptures as He began revealing to Moses how the tabernacle was to be constructed. He began with the Ark of the Covenant at the mercy seat and moved outward. I have chosen to begin with the brazen altar and move inward. The scriptures look at it from God's perspective. I have sought to look at it from man's perspective. With God it all began at the mercy seat but with us we come to the brazen altar before we approach the mercy seat. Understanding the place and significance of this 1 precious piece that set in the holiest place of all is extremely important in order to understand what God has done about your sin.

  • Lesson 10: the Atonement Cover
    Lesson 10: The Atonement Cover Read: Exodus 25:17-22, Leviticus 16:11-19 The atonement cover, also called the mercy seat, was like a lid covering the Ark of the Covenant. On top of it stood two cherubim (angels) at the two ends, facing each other. The cherubim, symbols of God’s divine presence and power, were facing downward toward the ark with outstretched wings that covered the atonement cover. The whole structure was beaten out of one piece of pure gold. Discussion: 1. What is the significance of the atonement cover in light of Exodus 25:22 and Leviticus 16:2? The atonement cover was God’s dwelling place and throne in the tabernacle. He sat enthroned between the cherubim (see also 2 Samuel 6:2). It was very holy; it could not be approached lightly. Above the ark and the atonement cover, God appeared as a cloud in His glory. (Additional information: This cloud is sometimes referred to as the Shekinah glory. The word Shekinah, although it does not appear in our English Bibles, has the same roots as the word for tabernacle in Hebrew and refers to the presence of the Lord.) 2. The ark and atonement cover were a symbol of God’s presence and power among His people. Do you recall any incidents regarding the power of the ark in history of the Israelites? There are quite a number of miracles recorded in the Old Testament surrounding the ark: With the presence of the ark, the waters of the River Jordan divided so the Israelites could cross on dry land, and the walls of Jericho fell so that the Israelites could capture it (Joshua 3:14-17, 6:6-21).

  • Crucifixion Study
    Redemption 304: Crucifixion Study biblestudying.net Brian K. McPherson and Scott McPherson Copyright 2012 Crucifixion Study – Part One Introduction This study is intended to follow the biblical account of Jesus’ arrest, trial, execution, and burial with a focus on illuminating how these events relate to and fulfill Old Testament protocols and prophecy. It is meant to be complementary to our Redemption Study. In this study, we will seek to pay particular attention to both prophetic precedent, sacrificial ritual, and requirements for capital punishment as contained in the Old Testament. The course of this study will largely be concerned with connecting important Old Testament teaching about God’s plan of redemption with the record of the circumstances of Christ’s death as provided in the gospel accounts. The goal will be to gain a fuller appreciation and understanding of Jesus’ atoning work within its proper biblical scope. We will also seek to use Old and New Testament details in order to acquire additional insight into the matter of how Christ’s death actually accomplished redemption. The following study is divided into several distinct sections discussing related and, at times, overlapping elements and themes. 1. Christ’s Death Occurred In Accordance with the Keeping of Passover 2. Passover and Deliverance from Bondage: Connections to the Day of Atonement, the Temple, and Genesis 3-4 3. Redemption, Genesis 3-4, Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement,) and the Red Heifer 4. The Location of Jesus’ Death and the Altar of Burning 5. The Traditional Sites for the Location of Christ’s Death, Burial, and Resurrection 6.

  • Leviticus Chapter 16
    Leviticus Chapter 16 Verses 1-34: This chapter comprise the ceremonial and theological pivot on which the entire Book of Leviticus turns. Even though today the temple and sacrificial systems have disappeared, the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), remains the holiest day in the Jewish year. The introduction to the chapter is given (in verses 1 and 2), with an emphasis on safeguarding the sanctity of the Most Holy Place, as Aaron was forbidden “that he come not at all times into the Holy Place … before the mercy seat”. The Hebrew phrase translated here “come not at all times” could imply a total prohibition against entry, but the context makes it clear that with proper precautions the high priest may enter the Holy Place once a year. The translation “not to come whenever he chooses” gives the meaning clearly. The reason Aaron could not enter the Holy Place is that it housed the ark on which the mercy seat was found. This was where God came to His people in the heart of the tabernacle, hidden in a cloud (Exodus 40:34-35). The “mercy seat” likely means “lid” or “cover”. The notion of a seat was derived presumably from (Psalm 99:1), which speaks of God sitting between the cherubim as on a throne. The lid with its surmounting cherubim served as a cover for the ark (see discussion of the “mercy seat”; Exodus 25:17). If Aaron did not enter only when God prescribed, he would “die”. First, Aaron made “atonement for himself, and for his house”. The Hebrew word (kiper), has at least three possible meanings that are held among conservative scholars.

  • Christ As the “Mercy Seat”: Understanding the Shed Blood of Christ1
    CHRIST AS THE “MERCY SEAT”: UNDERSTANDING THE SHED BLOOD OF CHRIST1 by Ron J. Bigalke, Jr. Introduction The writer of Hebrews instructs believers to have boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus (Hebrews 10:19).2 Based on a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as God and Savior, the Christian can enter into the very presence of God through the blood of Jesus Christ. Christ ever liveth to make intercession (Hebrews 7:25) for those trusting in His payment of a debt that, as sinners, they could never pay. Therefore, those who are being sanctified3 through the blood of Jesus have immediate access into the presence of God because Christ appears in the presence of God for us (Hebrews 9:12–14, 24). The basis for the intercession is due to Christ being the propitiation (satisfaction) for sinners. He intercedes by means of His once-for-all bloody sacrifice upon Calvary’s cross. The blood that was shed in His voluntary death is the basis by which He cried, It is finished (John 19:30) and the basis for reconciliation with God. 1 The author read an earlier draft of this article at the third annual meeting of the Conservative Theological Society on 7 August 2000 at Tyndale Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth, Texas. 2 Unless otherwise stated, all Scripture quotations are taken from the King James Version of the Holy Bible. 3 A distinction is to be drawn in terms of position wherein believers are sanctified (John 3:36; Ephesians 1:3; 2:3–6; Romans 4:25; 8:9–14; 1 Corinthians 1:2) and await ultimate sanctification, which is the glorification of the body (Romans 8:29–39; 1 Corinthians 15:50–58; Philippians 1:6; 3:20–21).

  • SIN, PURIFICATION and SACRIFICE: Analysis and Comparison of Texts from the Book of Leviticus and Malagasy Traditional Rituals
    SIN, PURIFICATION AND SACRIFICE: Analysis and Comparison of Texts from the Book of Leviticus and Malagasy Traditional Rituals Submitted by Olivier Randrianjaka In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) VID Specialized University, Stavanger February 2020 i ABSTRACT This study is an analysis and comparison of rituals in two different settings. Due to its ancient content, the book of Leviticus has been negatively received or is simply ignored by most western Churches. They see the book of Leviticus as irrelevant to today’s Christians. This research grows out of the interest to find why Malagasy Christians feel at home when reading the book of Leviticus. My research starts from the hypothesis that there might be some identifiable correspondences between ancient rituals in the book of Leviticus and some traditional Malagasy rituals. These correspondences might be the rationale behind the familiarity of Malagasy readers with the book of Leviticus and hence their positive acceptance. All these rituals have to do with sin, purification and sacrifice. My research is divided into two main parts. In Part One, I study three rituals from the book of Leviticus, namely, the ritual purification relating to intentional and unintentional sins in Lev 4:1– 5:13, the postpartum ritual purification in Lev 12 and the global ritual purification on the Day of Atonement in Lev 16. Part Two is devoted to the study of three seleted traditional Malagasy rituals, namely, the ritual purification relating to violation of taboo (fady), the eighth day postpartum ritual purification of the Malagasy northern ethnic groups and the New Year royal bath ritual of purification called fandroana.
