  Speaker 1: Leviticus is the prophetic heart of the Bible. Written one thousand,
• 0:04
  five hundred years before Christ. It predicts his exact mission
• 0:08
  with stunning accuracy. The sacrificial system a detailed preview of
• 0:14
  Jesus's death, the high priest entering the Holy of holies,
• 0:18
  Christ entering Heaven with his blood, the scapegoat, your sin bearer.
• 0:26
  This isn't random ritual, its divine prophecy. Every ceremony points
• 0:31
  to Calvary, Every law reveals God's holiness. Every boundary protects
• 0:36
  what's sacred. Leviticus explains why Jesus had to die, how
• 0:41
  forgiveness works, and what makes you holy. Without this book,
• 0:46
  the New Testament makes no sense. The blood, the priesthood,
• 0:50
  the atonement, it all starts here. This is where God
• 0:54
  reveals his rescue plan for humanity, written in symbols that
• 0:58
  would become reality. Leviticus isn't boring law. It's the Gospel
• 1:03
  in shadow form, waiting for the light of the world
• 1:07
  to fulfill every prophecy. God spoke to Moses from the
• 1:10
  tent of meeting and gave him the very first instructions
• 1:13
  about worship. The burnt offering was different from anything the
• 1:17
  people had known before. When someone wanted to give everything
• 1:20
  to God, they brought an animal to the altar. As
• 1:24
  Leviticus chapter one explains, if some one was wealthy, they
• 1:28
  could bring a bull from their herd. If his offering
• 1:31
  is a burnt sacrifice of the herd, let him offer
• 1:34
  a male without blemish. He shall offer it of his
• 1:38
  own free will at the door of the tabernacle of
• 1:41
  meeting before the Lord Leviticus won three. The person had
• 1:47
  to lay their hands on the animal's head, showing that
• 1:49
  this sacrifice represented them completely. But God made sure every
• 1:53
  one could participate. If some one couldn't afford a bull,
• 1:58
  they could bring a sheep or goat, And if his
• 2:02
  offering is of the flocks of the sheep or of
• 2:04
  the goats, as a burnt sacrifice, he shall bring a
• 2:09
  male without blemish Leviticus one ten. And if even that
• 2:14
  was too expensive, they could bring birds. And if the
• 2:18
  burnt sacrifice of his offering to the Lord is of birds,
• 2:22
  then he shall bring his offering of turtle, doves or
• 2:25
  young pigeons Leviticus one fourteen. The amazing thing was that
• 2:31
  the entire animal went up in smoke to God. Nothing
• 2:35
  was left behind. This wasn't about getting something back, It
• 2:40
  was about giving everything away. The priests would skin the animal,
• 2:45
  cut it into pieces, and place everything on the altar.
• 2:50
  The fire would consume at all, sending a sweet smell
• 2:53
  up to Heaven that pleased God completely. Not every offering
• 2:58
  required blood. God also wanted his people to give from
• 3:02
  the work of their hands. The grain offering in chapter
• 3:05
  two was made from the finest flower, mixed with oil
• 3:09
  and topped with frankincense, the best ingredients a person could
• 3:13
  find when any one offers a grain Offerate and a
• 3:17
  man of Israel fought each other in the camp, and
• 3:20
  the Israelite woman's son blasphemed the name of the Lord
• 3:24
  and cursed Leviticus twenty four ten to eleven. No one
• 3:29
  knew how to handle this unprecedented case, and they put
• 3:33
  him under guard that the mind of the Lord might
• 3:36
  be shown to them Leviticus twenty four twelve. Moses sought
• 3:42
  divine guidance. God's response was severe. Then the Lord spoke
• 3:47
  to Moses, saying, take outside the camp him who was cursed.
• 3:52
  Then let all who heard him lay their hands on
• 3:54
  his head, and let all the congregation stone him. Leviticus
• 3:59
  twenty four thirteen to fourteen. Every one who heard the
• 4:03
  blasphemy had to participate this established permanent law. And you
• 4:10
  shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, whoever curses
• 4:14
  his God shall bear his sin, and whoever blasphemes the
• 4:18
  name of the Lord shall surely be put to death.
• 4:22
  All the congregation shall certainly stone him the stranger, as
• 4:26
  well as him who was born in the land Leviticus
• 4:30
  twenty four, fifteen sixteen. The law applied equally to foreigners
• 4:35
  and natives. Mixed ancestry provided no protection. God's name was sacred,
• 4:41
  regardless of who dishonored it. God's concern for justice extended
• 4:46
  to economic systems that could trap people in poverty. Chapter
• 4:51
  twenty five introduces revolutionary concepts preventing wealth concentration and insuring
• 4:57
  every one had access to the means of production. The
• 5:00
  land needed rest every seventh year, and the Lord spoke
• 5:05
  to Moses on Mount Sinai, saying, speak to the children
• 5:09
  of Israel, and say to them, when you come into
• 5:12
  the land which I give you, then the land shall
• 5:15
  keep a sabbath to the Lord. Six years you shall
• 5:19
  sow your field, and six years you shall prune your vineyard.
• 5:22
  And gather its fruit. But in the seventh year there
• 5:26
  shall be a sabbath of solemn rest, and each of
• 5:29
  you shall return to his family Leviticus twenty five ten.
• 5:35
  Land couldn't be sold permanently. The land shall not be
• 5:40
  sold permanently, for the land is mine, for you are
• 5:44
  strangers and sojourners with me Leviticus twenty five twenty three.
• 5:50
  God was the ultimate owner. People were just tenants. If
• 5:54
  some one became poor and sold their land, relatives could
• 5:58
  redeem it. If one of your brethren becomes poor and
• 6:02
  has sold some of his possession, and if his redeeming
• 6:05
  relative comes to redeem it, then he may redeem what
• 6:09
  his brother sold Leviticus twenty five twenty five. Houses in
• 6:15
  waled cities had different rules. If a man sells a
• 6:19
  house in a walled city, then he may redeem it.
• 6:22
  Within a whole year after it is sold, within a
• 6:25
  full year, he may redeem it Leviticus twenty five twenty nine.
• 6:31
  After one year, the sale became permanent. Israelites couldn't be
• 6:35
  enslaved permanently. And if one of your brethren who dwells
• 6:40
  by you, becomes poor and sells himself to you, you
• 6:44
  shall not compel him to serve as a slave, as
• 6:47
  a hired servant and a sojourner. He shall be with
• 6:50
  you and shall serve you until the year of Jubilee
• 6:56
  Leviticus twenty five thirty nine to forty. Foreigners could be
• 7:00
  purchased as permanent slaves. And as for your male and
• 7:05
  female slaves, whom you may have from the nations that
• 7:09
  are around you, from them you may buy male and
• 7:12
  female slaves Leviticus twenty five forty four. But fellow Israelites
• 7:19
  remained free. The final chapters reveal the ultimate consequences of
• 7:24
  Israel's choices. Chapter twenty six presents both the amazing blessings
• 7:29
  for obedience and the terrifying curses for rebellion, while chapter
• 7:35
  twenty seven deals with voluntary dedications to God. Obedience would
• 7:41
  bring incredible prosperity. If you walk in my statutes and
• 7:46
  keep my commandments and perform them, then I will give
• 7:50
  you rain in its season. The land shall yield its produce,
• 7:55
  and the trees of the field shall yield their fruits
• 8:00
  twenty six three dash four. The blessings would be overwhelming.
• 8:06
  Your threshing shall last till the time of vintage, and
• 8:09
  the vintage shall last till the time of sowing. You
• 8:13
  shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in
• 8:15
  your land safely Leviticus twenty six five. Harvests would be
• 8:22
  so abundant that gathering one crop would last until the
• 8:25
  next planting season. Peace would reign throughout the land. I
• 8:31
  will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down,
• 8:35
  and none will make you afraid. I will rid the
• 8:38
  land of evil beasts, and the sword will not go
• 8:42
  through your land Leviticus twenty six six. Wild animals and
• 8:48
  enemy armies would be eliminated. Military victories would be miraculous.
• 8:55
  Five of you shall chase one hundred and a hundred
• 8:58
  of you shall put ten thousand to flow light. Your
• 9:01
  enemies shall fall by the sword before you Leviticus twenty
• 9:06
  six eight. God would multiply their strength exponentially, But disobedience
• 9:13
  would bring escalating disasters. But if you do not obey me,
• 9:18
  and do not observe all these commandments, and if you
• 9:21
  despise my statutes, or if your soul abhors my judgments,
• 9:26
  so that you do not perform all my commandments but
• 9:29
  break my covenant, I also will do this to you
• 9:34
  Leviticus twenty six fourteen to sixteen. The curses would begin
• 9:39
  with disease and crop failure. I will even appoint terror
• 9:43
  over you, wasting, disease and fever, which shall consume the
• 9:48
  eyes and cause sorrow of heart. And you shall sow
• 9:52
  your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it
• 9:57
  Leviticus twenty six sixteen. If they continued rebelling, God would
• 10:02
  increase the punishment. And after all this, if you do
• 10:07
  not obey me, then I will punish you seven times
• 10:10
  more for your sins Leviticus twenty six eighteen. Each level
• 10:16
  of rebellion brought seven times more severe consequences. The ultimate
• 10:21
  curse was exile from the promised land. I will scatter
• 10:26
  you among the nations and draw out a sword after you.
• 10:30
  Your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste Leviticus
• 10:36
  twenty six thirty three. They would lose everything God had
• 10:40
  given them. But even in exile, repentance could bring restoration.
• 10:46
  But if they confess their iniquity and the iniquity of
• 10:49
  their fathers, with their unfaithfulness, in which they were unfaithful
• 10:53
  to me, and that they also have walked contrary to me,
• 10:58
  and that I also have walked cone to them and
• 11:01
  have brought them into the land of their enemies. If
• 11:05
  their uncircumcised hearts are humbled and they accept their guilt,
• 11:11
  then I will remember my covenant. Leviticus twenty six forty
• 11:16
  to forty two. Chapter twenty seven deals with voluntary vows
• 11:20
  and dedications. People could dedicate themselves, family members, animals, or
• 11:26
  property to God with specific redemption values. When a man
• 11:31
  consecrates by a vow certain persons to the Lord according
• 11:35
  to your valuation. If your valuation is of a male
• 11:39
  from twenty years old up to sixty years old, then
• 11:43
  your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver according to
• 11:47
  the shekel of the sanctuary, Leviticus twenty seven two three.
• 11:53
  The book ends with a reminder that these weren't human suggestions,
• 11:57
  but divine commands. These are the commandments which the Lord
• 12:02
  commanded Moses for the children of Israel's on Mount Sinai
• 12:07
  Leviticus twenty seven thirty four. Everything in Leviticus came directly
• 12:13
  from God to Moses at the sacred mountain where the
• 12:16
  covenant was made. You've just witnessed the incredible story of
• 12:20
  Leviticus unfold from the sacred fires that launched God's worship system,
• 12:26
  to the revolutionary economics that would reshape society. From the
• 12:31
  tragic deaths that taught reverence, to the prophetic ceremonies that
• 12:35
  pointed straight to Jesus Christ. This isn't just ancient history.
• 12:40
  It's the foundation of everything you believe about salvation, holiness,
• 12:45
  and God's heart for justice. Every sacrifice you learned about
• 12:49
  to day finds its fulfillment in the Cross. Every priest
• 12:53
  points to Jesus as your ultimate high priest. Every day
• 12:58
  of atonement was just a shadow of the perfect atonement
• 13:02
  Christ would provide. The scapegoat carrying sins into the wilderness.
• 13:08
  That's your Savior, taking your guilt away forever. The blood
• 13:13
  that purified the sanctuary, that's the blood that cleanses your
• 13:17
  heart today. But this is just the beginning. If this
• 13:22
