Realms of clean and unclean... What is unclean? Why are they unclean? How do we get clean? How do we stay clean?
What are the spiritual meanings behind the physical instructions? Can we be spiritually unclean? Can we be clean again?
How are we to approach God? Do we come as we are, or do we need to make things right first?
Is it different for those who don't know God yet than it is for His priests? With knowledge comes responsibility. Things certainly changed for Adam and Eve once they received the Knowledge of Good and Evil - their relationship with God changed forever.
Our tongues curse so many people. Please be careful what you say to others, how you judge them, and curse them. Curse not Israel or you will receive the curse.
Ask for some wisdom, and you will receive it!
This portion is so powerful in the Spirit of HIS kingdom, Self-Examination, Constant Introspection
Leviticus 15:31You must keep the children of Yisra'el separate (Niddah) from their uncleanness, (the things of the world that defile them) that makes them unclean…” Our tongues curse so many people. Please be careful what you say to others, how you judge them, and curse them. Curse not Israel or you will receive the curse. Ask for some wisdom, and you will receive it!
We see Aaron's sons (priests) die when they approach God's presence with "strange fire", not the way they were just trained and instructed to do. What does this lesson hold for us, regarding the way we might approach God on our terms?
Look at the “Pattern”. There is a process to coming into HIS presence, it hasn’t changed. Nadab and Abihu didn’t follow the prescribed procedure, the “Pattern” and they came in with their agenda and their way. There is only one way to come into HIS presence. So what has been your approach, your pattern or “strange sacrifice”?? This picture is filled with Yeshua. The priests are given directions to make atonement; Yeshua is the atonement for us! We have the results if we don’t follow His procedures (“Choose Life”). Then we have directions for Kashrut, showing two things:
(1) The areas of physical “Clean” & “Unclean”. Tahor & Tamei
(2) The areas of Spiritual Tables that we eat from today of “Clean’ & “Unclean”.
Waiting on God... Still Waiting... Have you ever waited, and waited, and waited, wondering if He was still there, listening, caring? God's timing is perfect, but what do we do when His plan doesn't fit with our timing? Do we look for guidance elsewhere? Do we give up on Him? Consequences will follow each choice. He sets before us Life and Death, Blessings and Curses. What will we choose?
This representation in Exodus shows a powerful picture of many hidden meanings of salvation in Yeshua. A blessing of God’s prophecy and then persecution, trails and tribulation before the fulfillment, just like Joseph’s life & yours! You are to be the Type and Shadow!!!!!!!
Are YOU Drawing Near to the King?
Another depiction of Joseph/Yeshua the Savior of the remnant and a picture of a complete sell out of our lives;
Give up your life & be placed in HIS hands
There are so many images of Yeshua in this study you can’t miss HIM if you tried! Notice that Joseph tells his brothers that he was sent ahead to prepare a way for the Remnant. We start out with, Judah “drew near: the King;
Oh Yahweh! I Pray for HIS Remnant, Draw near the King! Is that something that Yahweh is putting on YOU? Now is the time to “DRAW NEAR” to HIM!!
What a great and exciting parashah (portion)! Out of the Rivers of Egypt come 7 complete examples of Life and Death. Read on to see a special name that Joseph was given. What do you think the cows represent? How about the river? Why did Joseph make the family come back 3 times? What did Pharaoh make all of Egypt do when they were in the famine? All of this is a picture of Yeshua and the Bride (YOU)
