And the Lord called unto Moses,
and spake unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation,
saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
If any man of you bring an offering unto the Lord, you shall bring
your offering of the cattle, of the herd, and of the flock.
If his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a
male without blemish. He shall offer it of his own
voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation
before the Lord. And he shall put his hand upon
the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for
him to make atonement for him. And he shall kill the bullock
before the Lord, and the priest, Aaron's son, shall bring the
blood, and sprinkle the blood round about upon the altar that
is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation." Here in the book of Leviticus.
And I've made 20 copies of these things, and they go so fast that
I'm going to have to start putting out 25 copies. And I'll have
this week's for you, next week, and the ones that didn't get none
this week, I'll have them next week too. But to Leviticus, and
I want you to notice, the book of Leviticus picks up That where
the book of Exodus left off. You remember? Moses reared up
the tabernacle according to God's pattern. And then the cloud came
down on it. The glory of God came down upon
the tabernacle. That tabernacle was the place
where God was pleased to dwell between the cherubim. That was
called His throne. At the mercy seat. And that cloud
came upon that tabernacle. And Moses went up there one day
and went in there, and he was in the tabernacle. And here's
how Leviticus starts. And the Lord called unto Moses
and spake unto him out of the tabernacle, saying, God spoke. Moses outside the tabernacle
and God spoke to him out of that cloud. Now there was no fear. Now there was no thundering.
Now there was no lightning. Now the people didn't stand too
far off. God was in the midst. God was in that tabernacle. This
is the place God's going to meet men and worship men. And now
that the tabernacle's set up, what the book of Leviticus is,
it's about the Arianic priesthood, the sons of Levi, the Levitical
priesthood and the sacrifices concerning it and the rituals
concerning it. And Leviticus is the third of
the book that Moses wrote. And you go through, even our
Lord Jesus referred to Leviticus. In Matthew chapter 8, he says,
when a leper came down from the mountain and said, Lord, if thou
will, thou canst make me clean. And the Lord said, I will, and
he was made clean. He says, now go show thyself
to the priest according to the law for a testimony against them. He was going to go to let the
law itself to pronounce him clean. When Christ cleansed him, the
law got no hold over him. And so the Lord spake unto Moses,
and this Leviticus is a book of laws, ceremonies, rituals,
and God gave it to the people of Israel to conduct their lives
and their worship in this world. And it concerns the ministry
of these priests, these Levites. And let me tell you this about
this book. There's no other book in all of the Bible that contains
as many words from God Himself and God speaking Himself, and
refer to God than this book right here. No other book in the Bible
contains as many words as from God Himself. You go through here
and just look at how many times it says, The Lord spake. The
Lord spake unto Moses. The Lord spake from the tabernacle.
The Lord spake. And God said. And so you see,
83 statements, 83 of them, refer to God speaking. And when he
spoke, none of them folks raised their hands and shouted. None
of them fell out in the aisles. None of them clapped their hands.
None of them went to dancing. None of them went to say, thank
you, Jesus. They all stood there and kept
their mouths shut because God, when He is holy and He's in His
presence, you've got to be still. God's in heaven. We're on the
earth. He's the creator. We're the creature.
He's Spirit, and we're flesh. He is absolutely, utterly, infinitely
holy, and we're sinful and dust. And so to come in His presence
without anything but thanksgiving and reverence and blessing and
praise and thanksgiving would be sinful. Be sinful. And then here's how the book
lays out. I'm going to give you the broad outline of it tonight.
First of all, we have the offerings. You have the offerings. And in
the offerings, and you start in chapter 1 and you go all the
way through chapter 7, and you find the offerings. Five offerings,
and we'll get to those in a minute. And that means without the shedding
of blood, there is no remission of sins. And this is the book
of offerings. God cannot be approached without
the shedding of blood. Blood's got to be shed. Sins
must be atoned for. And then you have the priest.
You have the priest, and how you go through the book, you
go through verse 1, chapter 1, verse 1 through chapter 7, then
you start at chapter 8, and you have the priesthood being set
aside. Moses sanctified Aaron and his sons and set them apart
in the priesthood. And you go all the way through
chapter 10, and you have the Aaronic priesthood. And then
you have the people. And I want you to look over here
in Leviticus 11, verse 1, talking about the people now. Let's look
at the people. Look what he said about the people. Leviticus 11,
the people. And this has to do with their
dietary codes. Their dietary codes, what they
were allowed to eat, what they were allowed to touch. And this says, And the Lord spake
unto Moses and Aaron, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel.
These are the beasts which you shall eat among all the beasts
that are on the earth. And then he starts telling them
what they're allowed to eat and what they're not allowed to eat. And
he starts telling them what they're allowed to touch and what they're
not allowed to touch. And you go through all these things,
and there's still people that do this. But we'll see that Christ
is the fulfillment of all of it. And then you go through the
offerings, the priests, the people, and all the regulations and laws
and ceremonies and do's and don'ts that the people are allowed to
do and not to do, then you come to the great day of atonement.
The great day of atonement in Exodus Leviticus 16. You've got this great day of
atonement. I preached on that here a while back. This was Israel's
great day and it prefigured our Lord Jesus Christ. Oh, how it
showed what our Lord Jesus Christ did. And then from Leviticus
23 through 26, you have the festivals. There were three festivals, three
feasts that Israel were to keep. There was a feast of the Passover.
They've done that every April. That's when the month of April,
that's when their year began. The Jewish calendar goes from
April, starts in April. And April was the beginning of
their life, the beginning of their years. When they said,
this is the beginning of time for you, when they started, That
Passover, that's the first feast, seven days. And then you got
the feast, the Pentecostal feast, when they brought in 50 days
later, the harvest. And they'd had a great feast
for the harvest, and they'd bring their firstfruits unto the Lord.
And then there was the Feast of Booths, because they were
strangers, and they lived in tents and lived in booths as
they traveled. That was a time that that they
had to set up little booths with leaves and branches over them
and live in those booths for a week. Three festivals. And
then the last chapter deals with vows. And what that means is
this. And you can look at it yourself. If somebody says, I
want to dedicate something to the Lord. I want to dedicate
my child to the Lord. I want to dedicate this piece
of property to the Lord. I want to dedicate this animal
to the Lord. I want to dedicate this to the Lord, that to the
Lord, then they make a vow. And the priest has to put a price
on that vow. And then if you don't keep your
vow, you're in real trouble. You're
in real trouble. So let's go through the offerings.
I told you the offerings. We start with the offerings.
First of all, these are types of Christ. Five offerings, every
one of those types of Christ. First, you have the burnt offering.
We've seen that started out as a burnt offering. And that burnt
offering, what it did, it represented our Lord Jesus Christ and His
complete dedication, His complete commitment to the Father. Now,
you could bring a young bull, a lamb, a goat, a turtledove,
a pigeon, all these could be used. It's according to how wealthy. If you're poor and all you could
afford was a pigeon, and that shows you that the gospel's for
the poor. And if all you could afford was a pigeon, you brought
a pigeon. If all you could afford was a dove, you brought a dove.
But if you had a young bull, you could bring a bull or a lamb
or a goat. But the animal, the animal, that one that's going
to be offered, it had to be perfect. It had to be without spot. It
had to be without blemish. And this tells us that if we're
going to have anything to give to God, it must be perfect. It
must be without spot, and it must be without blemish. And
thy Lord Jesus Christ, who offered himself to God without spot,
and in the burnt offering, God got all of it. The whole thing
was consumed, and our Lord Jesus Christ on that cross completely
dedicated and gave himself up to God, and was consumed, consumed
by the wrath of God's judgment there on that cross, and beloved,
the judgment of God fell on him, and God got it all. That tells
us that God's satisfied with him. No more orphans. And then we have the meal offering
in chapter two. This typifies our Lord Jesus
because the meal offering, what this was, when they brought in
the harvest, they would take the flour, the wheat, the barley,
and they would grind it, grind it, and grind it, and grind it,
and grind it until it was so fine. And I mean it had to be
super fine, no coarseness in it. And what they would do is
they would, when they'd bring their offerings, they would take
this fine flour, and they would take a little of that fine flour,
and with every offering, they'd throw some of that fine flour
in that, to show their thankfulness to the Lord, to make it a sweet-smelling
savor. And they'd put a little oil on
it, a little frankincense on it, and they'd put that on the
offering. and put that on it, and that would make a smell come
up from that altar as that sacrifice was being offered. And this shows
us that our Lord Jesus Christ, that is typified, our Lord Jesus
Christ and His humanity, sinless humanity, perfect humanity, as
the meal had to be fine, no coarseness in it, no blemish in it, And
it could be put on the altar to make us say, sweet smelling
savor, Christ in His humanity was sinless and perfect and fine. Oh, no coarseness or evil in
our Lord Jesus Christ. And people use His name as a
byword. Oh, that's another thing. Every
time we mention His name, it ought to be with thanksgiving
and bless His holy name for what He did for us, and always refer
to Him as the Lord, as the great, eternal God that came. And, oh,
beloved, and it'll come to all of them with such thanksgiving. And, oh, our humanity, our Lord's
humanity, no coarseness in it, perfect, no taint or evil in
it. And then there's the peace offerings. The peace offerings. Now, without a burnt offering
that God gets all of in, and then that fine flower that
put on that burnt offering and goes up and makes us sweet smell
and savor, then that would be no need for a peace offering.
And in chapter 3, you find the peace offering. And a peace offering,
you could use a bull or a lamb or a goat, and only part of it
was offered to God. Only part of it. And what the
priest would do is he'd take the breast, and he would take
the live from this offering that he got, and he was taking that.
And he'd take part of that, and he'd eat some of it, even while
the other sacrifice was being offered as part. He was seeding
it in a pot, and he'd eat part of that. And even as a worshiper
and dad, then they was allowed to take it home and take it to
their families. And because it was therefore a shared offering,
it was offered to God and the priest too. That tells us because
sacrifice has been made. Atonement has been made. And
there's been made peace through the blood of the cross. And God
takes Christ as a sweet-smelling savor, and we take Christ as
a sweet-smelling savor. We partake in the blood and body
of the Lord Jesus Christ. We partake as Christ is our bread. We partake. We drink His blood. And He reconciled us, and that's
because we're reconciled. He's our peace between us and
God. God gets it, and we get it. God
has Him, and we have Him. And we have Him because God had
Him first. And we get Him, and we get to
share and eat with Him. Oh, beloved, that's because peace
is established between the atonement of Christ and sinners. And there's
peace between sinners and God because of that. And I tell you,
beloved, men are going to wish that they had peace with God.
They're going to one of these days Well, these days, whenever
God has to be faced, and He's going to have to be faced, all
of us are going to have to face Him. And then here's a God that
the Scriptures tell us is angry with the wicked every day, will
by no means clear the guilty, hates the workers of iniquity. That's what He said. You say,
Preacher, that's awful harsh language. It's not my language,
it's God's language. Psalm 7, Psalm 11. Our God is a consuming fire. And so here's this God. Now how
are you going to have peace with Him? You've got enmity in your
heart. Everybody's born with enmity
in their heart. You know, children don't even
want to obey their parents, much less obey God. Wives don't want to be under
subjection to their husbands, much less God. Is that not right? That shows
you the enmity. And so how is that enmity going
to be taken out of that? And how are you going to have
this peace with God? The only way in the world for that to
happen is is for Christ to offer Himself without spot to God.
And through that blood of His cross, He made peace and He appeased
the wrath of God. He satisfied the justice of God
and the wrath of God. And that sinner who comes and
says, Oh God, have mercy on me. I want Christ. I want that blood. I want that person. I want His
sacrifice. I want His atonement. And I need
Him because He's already established peace. then you can have peace
between you and God, on the basis of what Christ did. And then,
not only is there the burnt offering and the peace offering, and all
these are typical of our Lord Jesus Christ, that is the sin
offering. The sin offering. In chapter 4, all you go through
these 1, 2, 3, 4, and you read about these offerings, and this
offering, this sin offering, Beloved, this sin offering, what
it was, was to take away the sin off the sinner himself. That's
what the sin offering was for. The sin offering was to take
the sin off the sinner himself. And oh, beloved, and this, and
this is, this is, God made Christ to be sin for us who knew no
sin. How is this sin going to be taken
off of us? for our sin in His own body on
the tree. Christ Himself put away sin once
in the end of the world by the sacrifice of Himself. And those
people would bring a sin offering, and they had made a sin offering
for the whole congregation of Israel, because all of them were
sinners. So they had a sin offering for
the whole lot of them. And Christ offered Himself without
spot, without blemish to God as our sin offering. And so,
listen to me now. If sin is on Christ, my sin is
on Christ, and God made Him to be sin for me, and God punished Him for me,
then how in the world can He come and punish me for my sin?
And that's what happened in the sin offering. God viewed those
people as their sins being gone. And He could deal with them on
the basis of that sacrifice. And God can only deal with us
on the basis of our sins being gone and Christ removed them
as far as the east is from the west. Huh? Sin can't be in two
places at the same time. It can't be on Christ and on
me. That's the gospel. Oh, what good news? You know, I rarely tell you that
I've got sin, that I am a sinner, but yet before God, as far as
God's concerned, I don't. And that's where it counts. That's
where you can rest. That's where you can have peace.
That's where you can have comfort. And people say, well, if I believed
that, I'd live like hell and still get to go to heaven. No,
you wouldn't. If you believed it like I would, you wouldn't.
If you believed it like I did, you would attend every service
you could get in, you'd hear the gospel three times a week,
and you'd go see somebody else preaching, you'd listen to it
on TV, you'd listen to it on CDs, you'd listen to it on tape.
You would want the gospel more than you want anything else.
Ain't that right? Oh, my. Then here's the trespass
offering. And we need to look at this.
Look with me over here in Leviticus 5. Let's look at this trespass
offering. In Leviticus 5, in verse 15 and
16. You know, the trespass offering,
you have the burnt offering, the meal offering, the peace
offering, the sin offering. Now, the trespass offering, that
is when you trespass, go and do something that the law or
the scriptures has already told you not to do. And this is what
the trespass saw forbidden. This is addressed to sinful acts
that somebody does. Against the holy things of God,
against things that are forbidden, against your neighbor's rights
and property, sins that require restitution. And this tempified
our Lord Jesus Christ making restitution and paying off our
debt. Look here in verse 15, look what
it says. The Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
If a soul committed trespass, and sin through ignorance in
the holy things of the Lord. And he shall bring for his trespass
unto the Lord a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with high
estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekels of the sanctuary,
for a trespass offering. And he shall make amends for
the harm that he hath done in the holy thing, and shall add
the fifth part thereto, and give it to the priest. And the priest
shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespasses
offering, and it shall be forgiven him." Now, that's what it is,
is that if you, just like us, we're here in this service tonight.
We're dealing with holy things. We're dealing with spiritual
things. We're dealing with things concerning God. Do you reckon
any of your sins since you've been here? Is your mind wandering? Well, then you just trespassed
into holy things. Now, how are you going to get those took care
of? Christ already took care of them.
Huh? Little children, I lie unto you
that ye sin not, but if any man sin, we got to advocate with
the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. Huh? There is therefore now no condemnation
of them that are in Christ. And so you see, let me show you
another one over here in chapter 6 and verse 2 and 7. Let me show
you this. When you know we do things, say things, and who's
going to take care of these trespasses? Christ has already took care
of them. That's what the trespasser, he was our trespasser. He's the
one who took care of all our trespasses. And look what he says, now that's
the difference between religion, do, do, do, and what we preach,
done. Done. And look what he says,
The Lord spake unto Moses, saying, If a soul sin and commit a trespass
against the Lord, and lie unto his neighbor, and that which
was delivered him to keep, or in fellowship, or a thing taken
away by violence, or hath deceived his neighbor, or hath found that
which was lost in life, concerning it, and swears falsely, and any
of all these that a man doeth sinning therein, then it shall
be because he hath sinned and is guilty, that he shall restore
that which he took violently away, or the thing which he deceitfully
got. or that was delivered to him
to keep, or lost, or that which he found. And so you go on, you
see how you... This Scripture covers any sin
that a human being can commit against anybody, anytime. Now,
how in the world are we going to get by with these things?
We're not getting by when Christ has been our sacrifice. He's
our trespass offering. And, oh, beloved, everything
that we've ever done, Christ doesn't take care of it. Now, I won't even talk about
the animals that were offered. They had all these offerings,
and all these offerings were typical of our Lord Jesus Christ.
First of all, you had the ox, the bull, the ox. That's Christ,
the laboring one, the one under the oak, the burdened one, the
one that carries the burden. And then the sheep. Those sheep,
those lambs that walked, that's our Lord Jesus Christ, the solid,
silent One, who went, who was willingly led to the slaughter,
silent in His suffering. And then our Lord Jesus Christ
as the goat, He was the sinless One. The goat had to be without
spot and without blemish. He was the sinless One. And then
that dove, He allowed to take doves and offer doves. and does,
tells about our Lord Jesus Christ being the gentle one, the pure
one, so gentle, so tender, so soft, and mournful even. And
then there's the pigeon, the pigeon that was often offered.
That's the one, the endearing one, because that pigeon will
endure and go on through whatever it has to do. And so you see,
all the sacrifices, everything in this blessed book, tells us
and points us to our Lord Jesus Christ and His sacrifice for
sinners. And then you have the high priest.
Let's talk about the high priest. Talk about the offering. Let's
talk about the high priest. Now, sinful men and women, this
is what they got to do. They cannot approach God, a holy
God, without a mediator. I know people who said a lot
of times they get in trouble or something and said, I know
the Lord answered my prayer. If you're not a converted person,
he is. No, he only hears his people.
That's just the way it is. Sinners, sinful men and women
cannot approach God without a mediator. And who's your mediator if you're
going to call on God, if you're going to approach God? I'm approaching God tonight.
I approach Him when I pray, and I approach Him when I read. I
approached Him before I got here. I approached Him this morning.
Posthumous afternoon. How in the world can a sinful
man and woman approach God, a holy God, without a mediator? Somebody
that will go between you and God. Huh? And that's why people
talked about priests. People, so many religions want
to have a priest. They don't feel like that they
have the right to go to God, so they'll go to a priest. Well,
God gave us a priest. He gave these people a priesthood.
And they could not approach God without a high priest. And the
high priest of Leviticus was just shadows of the priestly
work of our Lord Jesus Christ. Now, I want you to see that.
Now, look with me over in Hebrews. You go to Hebrews. I want you
to see this. You need to see this. There ain't
but one priest. And you know what? I'll tell
you something. The priesthood was only, only for Israel. Only for Israel. And Christ is
high priestess only for His people. And there's only one mediator
between God and man, and that's the man, Christ Jesus. But look
here in Hebrews chapter 4 and verse 14. And all those men,
those priests, they would go in and they'd offer these sacrifices
for them people. Them people couldn't offer their
own sacrifices. Those people couldn't go into
the tabernacle. They couldn't go into the holiest
of holies. They had a priest there, and
that was what God ordained for him to do, was take their sacrifices
and offer them to God. The priest represented men toward
God. And the priest come back and
represented men to God. And so here we go. Look here
in Hebrews 4, in verse 14. Seeing then, seeing then that
we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens,
Jesus, the Son of God, does hold fast to our profession, our confession. That profession means to confess.
Why do you confess? That Jesus Christ is my great
high priest that's passed into the heavens, and I want this
priest and I need this priest. And here's the difference in
this priest. For we have not a high priest which cannot be
touched with the feelings of our infirmity. He was on this
earth in every infirmity that's known to the human body and human
emotions. Our Lord Jesus Christ was touched
by Him, and He can be touched by our infirmities. But was in
all points tempted like we are, yet without sin. So let's come
therefore boldly. To who? Our high priest. What
are we going to get when we get there? We're coming to the throne
of grace. Obtain mercy and find help in the time of need. And,
O Beloved, I read it to you Sunday morning, for such a high priest
became us who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners."
So there's a high priest. Now let's talk about the Day
of Atonement. The Day of Atonement. This was Israel's great day. You're talking about a message.
In the seventh month of the Hebrew calendar, that would be our October. And that was the most solemn,
glorious day and important day of the year for Israel. In that
day of atonement, atonement was made by the high priest for the
sins of the people. And that high priest would confess
all the sins of all of Israel on that one day, and he had two
offerings. And this atonement is one of
the greatest types of our Lord Jesus Christ to be found in the
Old Testament. The first thing he done, the
first thing that a high priest did, is he put off his regular
garments, laid aside his regular garments, garments of glory and
beauty, laid them aside, and put on just white linen clothes. Going to have blood all over
them. laid aside His glory and put on our humanity. And as the
high priest used to goads, worn to slay for the sins of the people. And Isaiah put his hands on the
head of that goat, and he would confess the sins of Israel, and
then he would slay that goat, and take that goat in his blunt
into the holiest of holies, and offer it there on the mercy seat
before God. And then he would take that other
goat, and he would confess the sins of them, and he would send
him away alive. And he would take him a fit man,
and he would go right off into the wilderness with that other
goat. And that goat, man, just standing there and watching me,
because all of his, one was his sins were paid for, and the other
typified the sins being taken away, out of sight. And they were watching, they
were watching to see that fit man go until he got plum out
of sight and nobody could see him. And they waited, and waited,
and waited, and then they see this little old bitty dot on
the horizon, and he get closer, and here's the man, he got closer,
and the goat wasn't with him. Christ is our day of atonement. He was our
spotless goat that was slain, and our sins we confessed on
Him. And He was also, when He went as that goat alive into
the tomb, He came back out, He left our sins there, never to
be remembered against us no more. carried them so far away that
they'll never, ever be found. God can't see them. God can't
find them. In fact, you know, the way God
says things, that's the way they are. If God says, I'll remember
the sins against them no more, that's the way it is. Now let
me tell you this about the high priest in this day of atonement.
Oh, as the high priest alone performed these duties, he did
it by himself. No help from anybody. But the
people did no work at all that day. They just stood and the
priest did it all. So Christ alone made atonement
for His people. He by Himself purged our sins. He entered once into the holy
place and obtained eternal redemption. He entered in not with the blood
of Boaz and Gopher, but with His own blood. Oh my, made atonement
for sinners. And then they took the burning
skins and the flesh of the animals that were used for the sacrifice,
they took them outside the camp and they burned them. So our
Lord Jesus Christ was taken outside the camp and was crucified outside
the camp. And the fire of God's wrath and
justice fell upon Him that day. Oh my, bless His holy name. He
went without the camp, bearing our reproach. Oh, my. Well, I got to hurry. And while
the Day of Atonement was typical of our Lord Jesus Christ in so
many ways, yet there are some distinctions that need to be
seen and understood. Here on this Day of Atonement,
the high priest offered the blood of an involuntary substitute.
The substitute never volunteered. The bull never volunteered. The
lamb never volunteered. The goat, none of them ever volunteered. But our Lord Jesus Christ voluntarily,
willingly, joyfully, blessedly gave Himself. And while that
high priest had to first make an atonement for himself before
he could make an atonement for anybody else, our Lord Jesus
Christ was without spot and without blemish. He did not have to make
an atonement for himself. He only make an atonement for
sinners. He was the Lamb slain without
spot and without blemish. And while the high priest had
to make an atonement every year, every year they went through
this, every year. Our Lord Jesus Christ done it just once. He done it just once. He entered
once into the holy place. And he put away sin once and
for all by the sacrifice of himself. He hath perfected forever them
that he sacrificed. That's why we don't need no other
priest. That's why we don't need no other sacrifice. That's why
we say, in our hands no parts we break. Simply to Christ we
cling. And while that high priest entered
an earthly sanctuary, he went into an earthly sanctuary, one
made on this earth out of earthly things. Our Lord Jesus Christ
entered into heaven itself. They went into an earthly tabernacle.
Our Lord went into a heavenly tabernacle. And they took their
blood and put it on a golden altar. Our Lord Jesus Christ
entered into the presence of God Himself and went there by
the virtue of His own blood. and entered into the holiest
of holies by his own blood. And while that high priest entered
the most holy place of the tabernacle as a representative of his people,
when he went in there, that high priest, when he went in there
and offered those sacrifices, he went in there as a representative
of all those people out there. When our Lord Jesus Christ went
into heaven and sat down, he went there as a representative
of all of us. And he's a forerunner who went
in there for us. And because he went there, we all
get to go too. Well, let me tell you this. In the book of Leviticus, you
go through this yourself, you know, and you get these outlines,
and as you get time and study the Bible, and start reading
in Genesis and try to get through the whole Bible in a year, and
I don't see how a person could not possibly get through the
Bible in a year. I mean, you know, it'd be very easy to get
through the Scriptures in a year. But read it, use these outlines,
but that's obvious in Leviticus, that it talks about the holiness,
holiness, holiness of God. And that's why they needed a
place for God to dwell. That's why we needed a priesthood. That's why we needed sacrifices.
That's why we needed offerings. That's why we needed modes of
worship to be taught to us. Because we don't know if God
don't tell us and show us. Is that not right?
