Transcript
- 0:01Most of us eat every day, some of us too much because yesterday's food
- 0:06is not enough to supply energy for today's needs. Why then, do some
- 0:10of us expect yesterday's portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
- 0:15us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going to change all
- 0:20of that. Let's experience God's words today and receive the power we need to
- 0:25live healthy, vibrant lives. Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host,
- 0:31author speaker, Elle David Harris. Good morning, Good morning, Good morning.
- 0:34It is Monday, May twenty, twenty twenty four. Hello, my
- 0:38name is Elle David Harris. I am your host, and this is your
- 0:41Daily Portion where we give you God's word every single day, and today is
- 0:46no exception. We are continuing in our Lesson study series the Great Controversy.
- 0:51Our caption for today is in the Holy of Holies. In the Holy of
- 0:57Holies, I'll get into that in just a moment. Before like to say
- 1:00welcome to you and ask you to please go over to your Daily Portion dot
- 1:03com. Please join our online community, pick up the Your Daily Portion book
- 1:08and let us know where you are in the world. At your Daily Portion
- 1:12dot Com and please please take a peek at the coaching program at your Daily
- 1:18Portion dot com as well. This is a way that we continue to build
- 1:22faith and fellowship. Let's go ahead and pray, and then we will get
- 1:26underway. Father and Heaven, thank you for giving us a sneak peek like
- 1:30giving us a view into the Holy of Holies. Thank you for protecting us
- 1:36and shielding us and giving us what we need so that we can be one
- 1:40of your children. Father, please give us understanding and holiness now. In
- 1:45Jesus' name, I pray, Amen and Amen again. Okay, in the
- 1:51Holy of Holies. It is a privilege for us to be able to even
- 1:57begin to have this discussion. Just say. The key for today, in
- 2:00my mind, is that we must learn and apply the principles of cleansing from
- 2:07the earthly. We must learn it from the earthly sanctuary and not try to
- 2:15limit Heaven by what we learn. Okay, So if you're wondering what am
- 2:20I talking about, go back to yesterday, go back to the nineteenth because
- 2:23I invested a good amount of time there. But let me say it again.
- 2:27We must learn and apply the principles of cleansing from the earthly Sanctuary perspective.
- 2:32Yes, that's what God gave us for teaching and learning, especially in
- 2:37our day. But not limit Heaven to what we are learning, so as
- 2:43we understand it in the earthly model, this is what we're looking at the
- 2:46Holy of Holies to be. Because remember remember God had told Moses when he
- 2:52was in the mount with him, he said, Father, please, He
- 2:54didn't use the word father, but he said, if you have found favor
- 2:59with me, then please show me your glory then and then God said,
- 3:04there shall no man see me and live. And so even the glory,
- 3:10the skena that we experience, that's what the word means in Hebrew, the
- 3:15glory, right, even that what we experienced there, that was not the
- 3:23fullness, That was not the fullness. That was too much for Moses or
- 3:29whoever would have gone into the Holy of Holies, Eli and others throughout the
- 3:34journey of the earthly sanctuary. Yes, but the full manifestation of God could
- 3:39not be housed in an earthly tabernacle. You feel where I'm coming from.
- 3:44So we have to learn what we can learn, but not limit, not
- 3:49limit what we see in heaven by what we see on planet Earth. Now
- 3:55we will read. Let's read some things from the Book of Viticus Leviticus,
- 4:00chapter sixteen. This is a critical message, beginning at verse twenty one,
- 4:05and then we'll read verses twenty nine through thirty four, if we have the
- 4:08time and the Bible reads. And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the
- 4:13head of the live goat. And if I'm teaching in public, what am
- 4:16I saying of what goat the live goat? And confess over that goat,
- 4:24over him all of the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their
- 4:29transgressions, and all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat,
- 4:34which goat, the live goat, and shall send him away by the
- 4:41hand of a fit man into the wilderness. And so now we see the
- 4:46pathway. And this is very important for us to identify which goat and what
- 4:51was the purpose of this goat. We'll get to it in just a moment.
- 4:55And this shall be a statute forever unto you, that in the seventh
- 5:00month of the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls and
- 5:03do no work at all, whether it be done in your own country or
- 5:09a stranger, that so journeys among you, for on that day the priest
- 5:14shall make an atonement for you to cleanse you, that ye may be clean
- 5:18from all your sins before the Lord. Let me just say right here,
- 5:23I'm just gonna pause right there. I think that's good enough for this moment.
- 5:27So that what so that on that day the priest shall make an atonement
- 5:32for you before this goat that is referenced in verse twenty one, before this
- 5:43discussion of this goat happens, the people will have received atonement because of another
- 5:53goat. Can I say that again? I want to be very clear.
- 5:58There was a goat that was led into the wilderness. But that goat that
- 6:02was led into the wilderness was a goat that represented the enemy. Can I
- 6:13say that again, the goat that was going into the wilderness represents our enemy.
- 6:19Atonement had already taken place. Can I say it just one more time?
- 6:26Atonement had already taken place by the time this other goat is taken into
- 6:31the wilderness. Two different creatures. One that represents when we confess our sins.
- 6:40God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us
- 6:44from all unrighteousness. That takes place before this goat goes out into the wilderness.
- 6:53And so we should not see this goat that goes out into the wilderness
- 6:58as a creature that is somehow doing something for us. Absolutely not. The
- 7:05symbol of what has been done for us has already taken place by this time.
- 7:11And so Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins
- 7:15of the world, all of that had already happened in terms of symbol in
- 7:20the Old Testament sanctuary on this day of Atonement. By that time. Now
- 7:27we see the symbol of our enemy, who ultimately is the culprit. He
- 7:32ultimately is the culprit, the one who's responsible for all of the temptation,
- 7:39all of the sin, all of the iniquity, all of the transgressions,
- 7:43all of the sin. And so that goat goes out into the wilderness,
- 7:49and he does not serve as anything to atone for your sins. I need
- 7:58this to be very clear, because this a lot of discussion about goats and
- 8:01media, I promise you that has to do with spiritual things. And it's
- 8:05like, well, which one is it. So God already dealt with the
- 8:09sin problem by the time this happens, and I'm thankful because now we see
- 8:16that if we confess our sins, God is faithful and He's just to forgive
- 8:22us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. And that means that
- 8:28when our sins are confessed forsaken, and our sins are washed away, the
- 8:37one who was ultimately responsible for the wickedness on planet Earth responsible, he now
- 8:46has to be punished, meaning the devil. And so we see in the
- 8:52Book of Revelation we see the imagery, the imagery of this enemy being laid
- 8:58hands on by angels call these angels fit men. And for a thousand years
- 9:05he's in this wilderness experience where the earth is now without form and void,
- 9:11with nothing for him to do except contemplate, while God's people, already atoned
- 9:18for are in heaven for a thousand years. And when the thousand years are
- 9:22finished, God comes back and then ultimately destroys sin and the devil and unconfessed
- 9:31sinners. You understand, and so I'm thankful that we don't have to be
- 9:37confused about this, that God settles the sin problem and then the devil takes
- 9:43his punishment ultimately at the end. Thanks for joining us, listening friends,
- 9:46always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
- 9:50from the mouth of God. This has been your daily portion with El David
- 9:56Harris. Make it a great day. Yeah,
