Exodus 23 :  Three Yearly Feasts (Leviticus 23:1-3)

14Three times a year you are to celebrate a feast to Me. 15You are to observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread as I commanded you: At the appointed time in the month of Abib^[h24] you are to eat unleavened bread for seven days, because that was the month you came out of Egypt. No one may appear before Me empty-handed.

16You are also to observe the Feast of Harvest with the firstfruits of the produce from what you sow in the field. And observe the Feast of Ingathering at the end of the year, when you gather your produce from the field. 17Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord GOD. 18You must not offer the blood of My sacrifices with anything leavened, nor may the fat of My feast remain until morning. 19Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil into the house of the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.  

Exodus 34 : God Renews Covenant

18The feast of unleavened bread shall you keep. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib you came out from Egypt.

19All that opens the matrix is mine; and every firstling among your cattle, whether ox or sheep, that is male. 20But the firstling of an ass you shall redeem with a lamb: and if you redeem him not, then shall you break his neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.

21Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest: in ripening time and in harvest you shall rest. 22And you shall observe the feast of weeks, of the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end. 23Thrice in the year shall all your male children appear before the LORD God, the God of Israel. 24For I will cast out the nations before you, and enlarge your borders: neither shall any man desire your land, when you shall go up to appear before the LORD your God thrice in the year.

25You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice^[h2077]with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice^[h2077]of the feast of the passover be left to the morning.

26The first of the first fruits of your land you shall bring to the house of the LORD your God. You shall not seethe a kid in his mother’s milk.

27And the LORD said to Moses, Write you these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel. 28And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote on the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.

Exodus 12 : The First Passover (Numbers 9:1-14)

1And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying, 2This month shall be to you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. 3Speak you to all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: 4And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. 5Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: you shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: 6And you shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. 7And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. 8And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 9Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the entrails thereof. 10And you shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remains of it until the morning you shall burn with fire. 11And thus shall you eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD’s passover. 12For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. 13And the blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

21Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said to them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover. 22And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. 23For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in to your houses to smite you. 24And you shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons for ever. 25And it shall come to pass, when you be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he has promised, that you shall keep this service. 26And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say to you, What mean you by this service? 27That you shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped. 28And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

The Tenth Plague: Death of Firstborn

29And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. 30And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.

The Exodus Begins

31And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as you have said. 32Also take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also. 33And the Egyptians were urgent on the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men. 34And the people took their dough^[h1217] before it was leavened, their kneading troughs^[h4863] being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.

35And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: 36And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent to them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians. 37And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about 600,000 on foot that were men, beside children. 38And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle. 39And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual. 40Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelled in Egypt, was 430 years.41And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt. 42It is a night to be much observed to the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.

Instructions for the Passover

43And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof: 44But every man’s servant that is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. 45A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof. 46In one house shall it be eaten; you shall not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall you break a bone thereof. 47All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. 48And when a stranger shall sojourn with you, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. 49One law shall be to him that is home born, and to the stranger that sojournes among you. 50Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 51And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

Leviticus 23 : Passover (Exodus 12:14-28; Numbers 28:16-25; Deuteronomy 16:1-8)

1Observe the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover to the LORD your God, because in the month of Abib the LORD your God brought you out of Egypt by night. 2You are to offer to the LORD your God the Passover sacrifice from the herd or flock in the place where the LORD will choose as a dwelling for His Name. 3You must not eat leavened bread with it; for seven days you are to eat with it unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, because you left the land of Egypt in haste—so that you may remember for the rest of your life the day you left the land of Egypt. 4No yeast is to be found in all your land for seven days, and none of the meat you sacrifice in the evening of the first day shall remain until morning. 5You are not to sacrifice the Passover animal in any of the towns the LORD your God is giving you. 6You must only offer the Passover sacrifice at the place where the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for His Name. Do this in the evening as the sun sets, at the same time you departed from Egypt. 7And you shall roast and eat it in the place the LORD your God will choose, and in the morning you shall return to your tents. 8For six days you must eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day you shall hold a solemn assembly to the LORD your God, and you must not do any work.

1/16 Counting of Omer :

• Begins the49 day countdown to the harvest festival – Pentecost
• Part of the Feast of Unleavened Bread
• Gathering an Omer(Sheaf) remembered during this time when God rained down bread from heaven.

First Fruits Sheaf waved

 

When the Temple stood in Jerusalem, a sheaf of new-cut barley was presented before the altar on the second day of Unleavened Bread.

Josephus writes

On the second day of unleavened bread, that is to say the 16th, our people partake of the crops which they have reaped and which have not been touched till then, and esteeming it right first to do homage to God, to whom they owe the abundance of these gifts, they offer to him the first-fruits of the barley in the following way. After parching and crushing the little sheaf of ears and purifying the barley for grinding, they bring to the altar an omer for God, and, having flung a handful thereof on the altar, they leave the rest for the use of the priests. Thereafter all are permitted, publicly or individually, to begin harvest.^[6]

•  
• A sheaf of the 1st fruits of your harvest brought to priest  where He would wave it before the Lord

• Jesus Christ “the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep”

• Christ’s genuine, well-attested resurrection is the guarantee of our future resurrection.  
• Firstfruit’s refers to the guarantee that Christ’s resurrection is the first of a kind resurrection that promises others will follow in the end time.   In this instance them that slept refer specifically to those who have died in Christ.
• 144k stand with the lamb on Mt. Zion, These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits to God and to the Lamb.

Leviticus 23 : First Fruits (1 Cor 12:28, Romans 8:18-25 , James 5:7)

9And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 10Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you be come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then you shall bring a Sheaf ^[h6016]of the FirstFruits ^[h7225] of your harvest to the priest:11And he shall Wave ^[h5130]the Sheaf ^[h6016]before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12And you shall offer that day when you wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering to the LORD. 13And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire to the LORD for a sweet smell: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin. 14And you shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that you have brought an offering to your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

Romans 8:23

And not only [they], but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits^[g536] of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body.

Romans 11 :  The Ingrafting of the Gentiles

11I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come to the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 12Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness? 13For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify my office: 14If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. 15For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? 16For if the firstfruit^[g536] be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

17And if some of the branches be broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them partake of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18Boast not against the branches. But if you boast, you bore not the root, but the root you. 19You will say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. 20Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and you stand by faith. Be not high minded, but fear: 21For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not you. 22Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness: otherwise you also shall be cut off. 23And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again. 24For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

1 Corinthians 15:20   

But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become the firstfruits^[g536]of them that slept.

23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits^[g536]; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.

James 1:18 

Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits^[g536]of his creatures.

Revelation 14: The Lamb and the 144,000

1And I looked, and, see, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads. 2And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.4These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits^[g536] to God and to the Lamb. 5And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.   

First Fruits also marked the Counting of Omer…From Exodus 16 :

• When they came to Wilderness of Sin,
  • which is between Elim (“Palms”)(where there were 12 wells of water and 70 palm trees)
  • and Sinai
  • on 2/15 they began to murmer so God rained bread from heaven.
• They were to gather an omer/sheaf (1/10 of ephah) per day to prove them, whether they walk in His law or not.
• Twice as much was gathered on the 6th day and they rested on 7th, none was to be gathered.
• None of the manna was to be left over night
• Quail flesh eaten at night

When his crop is fully ripe…

The farmer cuts down  (hew’s) his crop that he

has sown in the field typically done through

use of a SICKLE or SCYTHE.

 

 

The farmer would then GATHER 

the stalks of wheat together into

a SHEAF or SHEAVES (multiple)

 

 

The bundled wheat is then taken to the 

CIRCULAR THRESHING FLOOR

where the sheaves would be spread across it.

 

 

PAIRS OF OXEN would then be walked

 AROUND the CIRCLE dragging THRESHING BOARDS

 behind them which had stones or flint chips

or iron spikes inserted into the bottom side to

speed up the threshing process.

Amos 8 :  The Basket of Ripe Fruit

1Thus has the Lord GOD showed to me: and behold a basket of summer fruit. 2And he said, Amos, what see you? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD to me, The end is come on my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more. 3And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, said the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence. 4Hear this, O you that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, 5Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? 6That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yes, and sell the refuse of the wheat? 7The LORD has sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. 8Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwells therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. 9And it shall come to pass in that day, said the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day: 10And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth on all loins, and baldness on every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.

11Behold, the days come, said the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: 12And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it. 13In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. 14They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Your god, O Dan, lives; and, The manner of Beersheba lives; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.

Matthew 24 : 

42Watch therefore: for you know not what hour your Lord does come. 43But know this, that if the manager of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44Therefore be you also ready: for in such an hour as you think not the Son of man comes. 45Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord has made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing. 47Truly I say to you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delays his coming; 49And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looks not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

hypocrisy = leaven

Romans 14 :  Do Not Cause Your Brother to Stumble (Ezekiel 14:1-11; 1 Corinthians 8:1-13)

13Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block or an occasion to fall in his brother’s way. 14I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteems any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15But if your brother be grieved with your Meat ^[g5160], now walk you not charitably. Destroy not him with your meat, for whom Christ died. 16Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17For the kingdom of God is not Meat ^[g5160]and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. 18For he that in these things serves Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. 19Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things with which one may edify another. 20For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eats with offense. 21It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby your brother stumbles, or is offended, or is made weak. 22Have you faith? have it to yourself before God. Happy is he that comdemns not himself in that thing which he allows. 23And he that doubts is damned if he eat, because he eats not of faith: for whatever is not of faith is sin.

1 Corinthians 10 :  Warnings from Israel’s Past (Numbers 16:41-50; Numbers 25:1-5)

1Moreover, brothers, I would not that you should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2And were all baptized to Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3And did all eat the same spiritual Meat ^[g5160]; 4And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 5But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

hebrews 5 :  Warning against Drifting Away

11Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing you are dull of hearing. 12For when for the time you ought to be teachers, you have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong Meat ^[g5160]. 13For every one that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14But strong Meat ^[g5160]belongs to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Leviticus 23 : The Feast of Pentecost (*Not in Numbers 28)

15And you shall count to you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; 7 sabbaths shall be complete: 16Even to the morrow after the 7th sabbath shall you number 50 days; and you shall offer a new meat offering to the LORD. 17You shall bring out of your habitations 2 wave loaves of 2/10 (20%) deals; they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven; they are the first fruits to the LORD.  18And you shall offer with the bread 7 lambs without blemish of the first year, and 1 young bullock, and 2 rams: they shall be for a burnt offering to the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet smell to the LORD. 19Then you shall sacrifice 1 kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings. 20And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest. 21And you shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation to you: you shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations. 22And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not make clean riddance of the corners of your field when you reap, neither shall you gather any gleaning of your harvest: you shall leave them to the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.

Numbers 28 :  The Feast of Weeks 

26Also in the day of the first fruits, when you bring a new meat offering to the LORD, after your weeks be out, you shall have an holy convocation; you shall do no servile work: 27But you shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet smell to the LORD;  two young bullocks, one ram, seven lambs of the first year; 28And their meat offering of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals to one bullock, two tenth deals to one ram, 29A several tenth deal to one lamb, throughout the seven lambs; 30And 1kid of the goats for a sin offering,to make an atonement for you.  31You shall offer them beside the continual burnt offering, and his meat offering, (they shall be to you without blemish) and their drink offerings

9Seven weeks shall you number to you: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as you begin to put the sickle to the corn. 10And you shall keep the feast of weeks to the LORD your God with a tribute of a freewill offering of your hand, which you shall give to the LORD your God, according as the LORD your God has blessed you: 11And you shall rejoice before the LORD your God, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite that is within your gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD your God has chosen to place his name there. 12And you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt: and you shall observe and do these statutes.

Leviticus 23 :  The Day of Atonement (Numbers 29:7-11)

26And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 27Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation to you; and you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. 28And you shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. 29For whatever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people. 30And whatever soul it be that does any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people. 31You shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 32It shall be to you a sabbath of rest, and you shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even to even, shall you celebrate your sabbath.

Numbers 29 : Day of Atonement(Leviticus 23:26-32)

7And you shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy convocation; and you shall afflict your souls: you shall not do any work therein:8But you shall offer a burnt offering to the LORD for a sweet smell; one young bullock, one ram, and seven lambs of the first year; they shall be to you without blemish: 9And their meat offering shall be of flour mingled with oil, three tenth deals to a bullock, and two tenth deals to one ram, 10A several tenth deal for one lamb, throughout the seven lambs:  111 kid of the goats for a sin offering; beside the sin offering of atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meat offering of it, and their drink offerings. 

The Levitical priesthood was grounded in the order of Aaron, but the priesthood of Jesus Christ is grounded in the order of Melchisedec.  The mysterious Melchisedec appeared in Genesis 14 but was not mentioned again until the messianic promise was made in Psalm 110.  The order of Melchisedec was eternal in origin and scope.  Melchisedec participated in the divine attributes of eternity, righteousness, peace, and sovereignty.  His eternality is evident in that he abides as priest continually-without beginning or end.  The sovereignty of Melchisedec is reflected in the sovereignty of the Son of God, because while the Levitical preisthood was authorized by a carnal commandment, the priesthood of Christ was authorized by the power of endless life.

 

The sacrificial ministry of the old priesthood was unable to make perfect the worshipers conscience.  While the old priesthood was incomplete, the sacrifical ministry of the Messiah is able to purge our conscience.  This perfect cleansing enables the followers of the Messiah to engage in works that serve the living God.

 

Atonement means “cover”.  This offering “covered” the sins of the people until the great sacrifice on Calvary was made.  None of those offerings “took away” those sins.  When we accept Christ in our life who was the atonement for our sins, we are covered so that God no longer see it. Animals served as provisional sacrifices for human sins during the OT era, they could not ultimately atone for humans. Humanity needed one of their own, one who knew no sin to stand in and take the punishment that is due to all sinners.  Genesis 3:15 gives the first prophetic glimpse at God’s final solution to this need and hints at the central role Jesus plays in that solution.  Speaking ultimately of Jesus and His role in redemption, it asserts that the seed of the woman would be bruised, but that He would in turn bruise the head of the serpent, achieving victory over sin and death.  Though innocent of all sin, Jesus stood in our place to take our punishment, shedding His blood to atone for us.  “neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.  “by the sacrifice of himself” Jesus satisfied Gods wrath against sin.

 

The greatest day in the history of God’s chosen people where the sins of the nation were confessed.  Confession is always the first step towards righteousness.  It reveals a right attitude toward sin.  It leads to a desire for forgiveness.

 

On this day Yahweh’s relationship to His people was established-all the sins, failures, and weaknesses of the people were atoned for.  The blood was shed and the sins of the people were covered so that God could take up His abode in the midst of His people in spite of their uncleanness.

 

God was hidden behind a veil in the Tabernacle and man was at a distance.  The way was not yet made open for man to approach God.  Now we have boldness and access.  We can run into God’s presence at any time for Christ has made the way possible for us.  In Leviticus, God was shut in from man and man was shut out from God.

 

When Adam and Eve committed the first sin, they hid from God because they were ashamed.  Rather than giving them up as hopeless, God initiated a plan of atonement whereby the ruptured fellowship between Himself and Humanity could be restored.  It is how God and humanity can be at one in relationship again…

Atonement involves an innocent party taking the punishment that was due to a guilty party.

• Dwelt in tents for 7 days as a reminder of God bringing them out of Egypt.

•  It was celebrated in the Fall and lasted 7 days.  
• The Feasts of Passover and Tabernacles kept before the children of Israel the marvelous way in which they were delivered from Egypt and were sustained in the wilderness.

• Tabernacles recalled to their minds that by their own disobedience they were compelled to wander forty years in the desert 40 years, yet God was faithful in caring for them and in bringing them to their inheritance.
•  It reminded them of their dependence upon Him and the blessings that would come if they would be obedient to His will. 

Leviticus 23 : The Feast of Booths (Nehemiah 8:13-18)

33And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 34Speak to the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days to the LORD. 35On the first day shall be an holy convocation: you shall do no servile work therein. 36Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation to you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and you shall do no servile work therein.

37These are the feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing on his day: 38Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which you give to the LORD.

39Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep a feast to the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath. 40And you shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days. 41And you shall keep it a feast to the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: you shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42You shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: 43That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. 44And Moses declared to the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.

32And on the seventh day seven bullocks, two rams, and fourteen lambs of the first year without blemish: 33And their meat offering and their drink offerings for the bullocks, for the rams, and for the lambs, shall be according to their number, after the manner: 34And one goat for a sin offering; beside the continual burnt offering, his meat offering, and his drink offering.

35On the 8th day you shall have a solemn assembly: you shall do no servile work therein: 36But you shall offer a burnt offering, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet smell to the LORD: one bullock, one ram, seven lambs of the first year without blemish:

Leviticus 1 :  Laws for Burnt Offerings (Exodus 38:1-7; Leviticus 8:18-21)

1And the LORD called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying, 2Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man of you bring an offering to the LORD, you shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock. 3If 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. 4And he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. 5And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood round about on the altar that is by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 6And he shall flay the burnt offering, and cut it into his pieces. 7And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay the wood in order on the fire: 8And the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar:9But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, to be a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet smell to the LORD.

10And if his offering be of the flocks, namely, of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish. 11And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron’s sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about on the altar. 12And he shall cut it into his pieces, with his head and his fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar: 13But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring it all, and burn it on the altar: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet smell to the LORD.

14And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD be of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtledoves, or of young pigeons. 15And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off his head, and burn it on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be wrung out at the side of the altar: 16And he shall pluck away his crop with his feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes: 17And he shall split it with the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder: and the priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire: it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet smell to the LORD.

Leviticus 2 :  Laws for Grain Offerings (Leviticus 6:14-23)

1And when any will offer a meat offering to the LORD, his offering shall be of fine flour; and he shall pour oil on it, and put frankincense thereon: 2And he shall bring it to Aaron’s sons the priests: and he shall take out of there his handful of the flour thereof, and of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof; and the priest shall burn the memorial of it on the altar, to be an offering made by fire, of a sweet smell to the LORD: 3And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.

4And if you bring an oblation of a meat offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, or unleavened wafers anointed with oil. 5And if your oblation be a meat offering baked in a pan, it shall be of fine flour unleavened, mingled with oil. 6You shall part it in pieces, and pour oil thereon: it is a meat offering. 7And if your oblation be a meat offering baked in the frying pan, it shall be made of fine flour with oil. 8And you shall bring the meat offering that is made of these things to the LORD: and when it is presented to the priest, he shall bring it to the altar. 9And the priest shall take from the meat offering a memorial thereof, and shall burn it on the altar: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet smell to the LORD.10And that which is left of the meat offering shall be Aaron’s and his sons’: it is a thing most holy of the offerings of the LORD made by fire.

11No meat offering, which you shall bring to the LORD, shall be made with leaven: for you shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, in any offering of the LORD made by fire. 12As for the oblation of the first fruits, you shall offer them to the LORD: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet smell. 13And every oblation of your meat offering shall you season with salt; neither shall you suffer the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your meat offering: with all your offerings you shall offer salt.

14And if you offer a meat offering of your first fruits to the LORD, you shall offer for the meat offering of your first fruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even corn beaten out of full ears. 15And you shall put oil on it, and lay frankincense thereon: it is a meat offering. 16And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of the beaten corn thereof, and part of the oil thereof, with all the frankincense thereof: it is an offering made by fire to the LORD.

Leviticus 3 :  Laws for Peace Offerings (Leviticus 7:11-21)

1And if his oblation be a sacrifice of peace offering, if he offer it of the herd; whether it be a male or female, he shall offer it without blemish before the LORD. 2And he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron’s sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood on the altar round about. 3And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is on the inwards, 4And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the lobe above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.5And Aaron’s sons shall burn it on the altar on the burnt sacrifice, which is on the wood that is on the fire: it is an offering made by fire, of a sweet smell to the LORD. 6And if his offering for a sacrifice of peace offering to the LORD be of the flock; male or female, he shall offer it without blemish. 7If he offer a lamb for his offering, then shall he offer it before the LORD. 8And he shall lay his hand on the head of his offering, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron’s sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about on the altar. 9And he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering an offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat thereof, and the whole rump, it shall he take off hard by the backbone; and the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is on the inwards, 10And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the lobe above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away. 11And the priest shall burn it on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire to the LORD.

12And if his offering be a goat, then he shall offer it before the LORD. 13And he shall lay his hand on the head of it, and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation: and the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof on the altar round about. 14And he shall offer thereof his offering, even an offering made by fire to the LORD; the fat that covers the inwards, and all the fat that is on the inwards, 15And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the flanks, and the lobe above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away.16And the priest shall burn them on the altar: it is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet smell: all the fat is the LORD’s. 17It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that you eat neither fat nor blood.

Leviticus 4 :  Laws for Sin Offerings (Leviticus 5:1-13)

Psalm 4 :  Answer Me When I Call!

1Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: you have enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy on me, and hear my prayer. 2O you sons of men, how long will you turn my glory into shame? how long will you love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah. 3But know that the LORD has set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call to him. 4Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart on your bed, and be still. Selah. 5Offer the sacrifices^[h2077] of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD. 6There be many that say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift you up the light of your countenance on us. 7You have put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. 8I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for you, LORD, only make me dwell in safety.

Psalm 27 :  The Lord is My Salvation (Psalm 18:1-50; Psalm 28:1-9)

1The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 2When the wicked, even my enemies and my foes, came on me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.  3Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. 4One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in his temple. 5For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up on a rock. 6And now shall my head be lifted up above my enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices^[h2077]of joy; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD. 7Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also on me, and answer me. 8When you said, Seek you my face; my heart said to you, Your face, LORD, will I seek. 9Hide not your face far from me; put not your servant away in anger: you have been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. 10When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up. 11Teach me your way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of my enemies. 12Deliver me not over to the will of my enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. 13I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Psalm 51 :  Create in Me a Clean Heart, O God (2 Samuel 12:1-12)

1Have mercy on me, O God, according to your loving kindness: according to the multitude of your tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4Against you, you only, have I sinned, and done this evil in your sight: that you might be justified when you speak, and be clear when you judge. 5Behold, I was shaped in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6Behold, you desire truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part you shall make me to know wisdom. 7Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which you have broken may rejoice. 9Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. 10Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11Cast me not away from your presence; and take not your holy spirit from me. 12Restore to me the joy of your salvation; and uphold me with your free spirit. 13Then will I teach transgressors your ways; and sinners shall be converted to you. 14Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, you God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of your righteousness. 15O Lord, open you my lips; and my mouth shall show forth your praise.

16For you desire not sacrifice^[h2077]; else would I give it: you delight not in burnt offering. 17The sacrifices^[h2077]of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. 18Do good in your good pleasure to Zion: build you the walls of Jerusalem. 19Then shall you be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks on your altar.

Psalm 107 :  His Loving Kindness Endures Forever 

1O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endures for ever. 2Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy; 3And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. 4They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. 5Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them. 6Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses. 7And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation. 8Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 9For he satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with goodness. 10Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron; 11Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High: 12Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; they fell down, and there was none to help. 13Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses. 14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bands in sunder. 15Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 16For he has broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder. 17Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. 18Their soul abhors all manner of meat; and they draw near to the gates of death. 19Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, and he saves them out of their distresses. 20He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. 21Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 22And let them sacrifice^[h2077]the sacrifices^[h2077]of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing. 23They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; 24These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. 25For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up the waves thereof. 26They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. 27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit’s end. 28Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distresses. 29He makes the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. 30Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he brings them to their desired haven. 31Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men! 32Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders. 33He turns rivers into a wilderness, and the springs into dry ground; 34A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein. 35He turns the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into springs. 36And there he makes the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation; 37And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase. 38He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffers not their cattle to decrease. 39Again, they are diminished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow. 40He pours contempt on princes, and causes them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way. 41Yet sets he the poor on high from affliction, and makes him families like a flock. 42The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth. 43Whoever is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the loving kindness of the LORD.

{Proverbs 15:8 KJV} The sacrifice[H2077] of the wicked [is] an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright [is] his delight.
{Proverbs 17:1 KJV} Better [is] a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices[H2077] [with] strife.
{Proverbs 21:3 KJV} To do justice and judgment [is] more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.[H2077]

{Isaiah 1:11 KJV} To what purpose [is] the multitude of your sacrifices[H2077] unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
{Isaiah 56:7 KJV} Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices[H2077] [shall be] accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

The daily sacrifice is taken away in Daniel***

Jeremiah 7 : 

21Thus said the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat flesh.22For I spoke not to your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: 23But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people: and walk you in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well to you. 24But they listened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward. 25Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt to this day I have even sent to you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them: 26Yet they listened not to me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.

Jeremiah 32 :  Jeremiah Buys Hanamel’s Field

1The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar. 2For then the king of Babylon’s army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah’s house. 3For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Why do you prophesy, and say, Thus said the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it; 4And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes; 5And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, said the LORD: though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not prosper.

6And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came to me, saying, 7Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum your uncle shall come to you saying, Buy you my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is your to buy it. 8So Hanameel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said to me, Buy my field, I pray you, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself. Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.

9And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle’s son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver. 10And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances. 11So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open: 12And I gave the evidence of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison. 13And I charged Baruch before them, saying, 14Thus said the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days. 15For thus said the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.

Jeremiah’s Prayer

16Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD, saying, 17Ah Lord GOD! behold, you have made the heaven and the earth by your great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for you: 18You show loving kindness to thousands, and recompense the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name, 19Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for your eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings: 20Which have set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and have made you a name, as at this day; 21And have brought forth your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror; 22And have given them this land, which you did swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;23And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not your voice, neither walked in your law; they have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do: therefore you have caused all this evil to come on them:24Behold the mounts, they are come to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what you have spoken is come to pass; and, behold, you see it. 25And you have said to me, O Lord GOD, Buy you the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.

Jerusalem’s Fall Confirmed

26Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah, saying, 27Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? 28Therefore thus said the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it: 29And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger. 30For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, said the LORD. 31For this city has been to me as a provocation of my anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even to this day; that I should remove it from before my face, 32Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 33And they have turned to me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction. 34But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.35And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

A Promise of Restoration

36And now therefore thus said the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof you say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;37Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, where I have driven them in my anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely: 38And they shall be my people, and I will be their God: 39And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them: 40And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. 41Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul. 42For thus said the LORD; Like as I have brought all this great evil on this people, so will I bring on them all the good that I have promised them. 43And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof you say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans. 44Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, said the LORD

Jeremiah 33 :  Restoration Promised Again

1Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying, 2Thus said the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name; 3Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you know not.4For thus said the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword; 5They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in my anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city. 6Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth. 7And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first. 8And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me. 9And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honor before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do to them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure to it.

10Thus said the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place, which you say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,  11The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD is good; for his mercy endures for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, said the LORD. 12Thus said the LORD of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down. 13In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that tells them, said the LORD.

The Covenant with David

14Behold, the days come, said the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah. 15In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up to David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. 16In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name with which she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness. 17For thus said the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; 18Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.

19And the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, 20Thus said the LORD; If you can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and night in their season; 21Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign on his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers. 22As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister to me.

23Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying, 24Consider you not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD has chosen, he has even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them. 25Thus said the LORD; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth; 26Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.

1 PETER 2 : THE LORD IS GOOD

1Why laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, all evil speakings, 2As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that you may grow thereby: 3If so be you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

THE LIVING STONE (Isaiah 28:14-22; 1 Corinthians 3:10-15)

4To whom coming, as to a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5You also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6Why also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believes on him shall not be confounded. 7To you therefore which believe he is precious: but to them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

9But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should show forth the praises of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light; 10Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

11Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; 12Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.

Matthew 13:33 

Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven,^[G2219] which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

Matthew 16:6

Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven^[G2219] of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Matthew 16:11 

How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it] not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven^[G2219] of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?  12  Then understood they how that he bade [them] not beware of the leaven^[G2219] of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Mark 8:15 

And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven^[G2219] of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven^[G2219] of Herod.

Luke 12:1 

In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven^[G2219] of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

Luke 13:21 

It is like leaven^[G2219] which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.

1 Corinthians 5:

6 Your glorying [is] not good. Know ye not that a little leaven^[G2219] leaveneth the whole lump?
 7  Purge out therefore the old leaven^[G2219] that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
 8  Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven^[G2219] neither with the leaven^[G2219] of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened [bread] of sincerity and truth.

Galatians 5:9 

 A little leaven^[G2219] leaveneth the whole lump.
