  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to the Lamp and Light Bible Reading Plan, where we are seeking to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength with God's word lighting the way.

  SPEAKER_00: I'm Tyler Sanborn, Student Ministry Director at Compass Bible Church South Valley.
• 0:13
  SPEAKER_00: Today is Friday, April 24th, 2026.
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_00: Here's a quick summary of Leviticus 8.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_00: Now, up to this point, we've had much instruction about how to conduct the different offerings and different sacrifices to Yahweh in the book of Leviticus.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_00: There are the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, the peace offerings, the sin offerings, and the guilt offerings.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: And today we're going to see a unique offering titled An Ordination Offering.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: And this is hand in hand with the installment and the dedication of the temple and the temple practices with Aaron and his sons.
• 1:12
  SPEAKER_00: And there is a large gathering.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: Seven times he is sprinkling on the altar.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: And also at the end of Leviticus 8, we see a unique instruction for Aaron and his sons to remain in the tabernacle or the tent of meeting for seven days and seven nights.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: And there's a strong charge to Aaron and his sons.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: If they disobey, they will die.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: They're going to obey and follow the commands of God.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: If they don't, they will die.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: And this is part of the ordination process that God has commanded, and this is a process, as we look to verse 34, to make an atonement for the priests.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: Listen intently to God's written word.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_00: I have exalted one chosen from the people.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: I have found David, my servant, with my holy oil I have anointed him, so that my hand shall be established with him.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: My arm also shall strengthen him.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: The enemies shall not outwit him, the wicked shall not humble him.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_00: I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: My faithfulness and my steadfast love shall be with him, and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: I will set his hand on the sea, and his right hand on the rivers.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: He shall cry to me, You are my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation, and I will make him the firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth, my steadfast love I will keep for him forever, and my covenant will stand firm for him.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: I will establish his offspring forever and his throne as the days of the heavens.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_00: If his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my rules, if they violate my statutes and do not keep my commandments, then I will punish their transgression with the rod and their iniquity with stripes, but I will not remove from him my steadfast love or be false to my faithfulness.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: I will not violate my covenant or alter the word that went forth from my lips.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: Once for all I have sworn by my holiness I will not lie to David.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: His offspring shall endure forever, his throne as long as the sun before me, like the moon it shall be established forever, a faithful witness in the skies.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: Now as we consider the timeline of the events in the Old Testament, from the earliest of chapters in Genesis chapter three, we have the fall, we have sin entering the world as Adam and Eve ascended earlier in Genesis there is bloodshed.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: Early on, there is a covering that Adam and Eve now require, and God killed two animals and provided a covering for them.
• 5:51
  SPEAKER_00: And without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: And there's many animals over the course of Israel's history, uh, many is an understatement, that would shed their blood in order to purify God's people, to cover them, to cleanse them.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_00: And this is God's design.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_00: And as we study our Bibles, we know as we look to the New Testament, it's Christ's blood that is spilled out, that ends the sacrificial system with his perfect and pure blood that washes away our sins.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: We are secured, we have have been secured an everlasting redemption through the bloodshed from Christ's own body.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: And while sin creates a separation, blood makes a way for relationships to be rightly connected.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: Both the atonement in the Old Testament and the New Testament were designed and instructed by God to make relationship with God to make it right.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: Now the Old Testament sacrifices and bloodshed were a temporary covering, these would happen year after year.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_00: However, Christ's sacrifice was a one-time, permanent, and everlasting atonement for those who would believe.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_00: If you look to the priests and the different steps that are happening in their ordination, they are wearing a very specific attire.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: They are being sprinkled with blood, even their attire is being purified and covered with covered with blood.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: We think about the different parts of their body that Moses is taking blood and touching.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: It's the right ear, it is the right thumb on the right hand, and the big toe of the right foot.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: And this there's some symbolism here to speak to what the priests are going to be doing.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_00: There's a purification here, and there is an attention to the way that the priests would be listening to God's word and obeying God's word, touching their ear, and the work that they had to do, taking part in making sacrifices on behalf of Israel, completing holy assignments, so the right hand and the right thumb, and then also the right big toe.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_00: No matter where they go, no matter what they're doing, they are to live lives that are holy and set apart for God.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: And it all has to do the priests, when we think about priests, we think about sacrifices, we think about man interceding for man to be the intercessors between man and God.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: And there is a challenge here because the priests in the Old Testament were also fallen, so they also needed to be making sacrifices on behalf of themselves.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: They too are sinful, they too needed to be covered and um atoned for.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: They needed to be purified by the shedding of blood.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_00: And as we look forward to Christ, he doesn't make atonement for himself because he is perfect and flawless, a sinless human being, sinless God, and he makes atonement for mankind because he is fully God and fully man in his eternal nature makes this atonement and this bloodshed and this purification an eternal and lasting one.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: Now, as we look to our psalm today, Psalm 89, we have some more Hebrews imagery.
• 10:16
  SPEAKER_00: Um, in verse 19, of old ye spoke in a vision to your godly one, and we have to be thinking about prophets here.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, as Pastor Josiah has been leading us through the book of Hebrews on Sundays, we think back to Hebrews chapter one, verse one long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by who?
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_00: By the prophets, but in the last days he has spoken to us by his son.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_00: So of old you spoke in a vision to your godly one.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: This is speaking, and we have this imagery of the uh the king that the God loved King David and his different anointings.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_00: He was anointed twice, one uh the first time in 1 Samuel 16, and the second time when he officially became king in front of the congregation in 2 Samuel chapter 5, and there's oil involved, there's an anointing involved, similarly to uh the way that we see the priests being anointed, they're being set apart and declared holy before the Lord for God's work.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_00: And as we think about the law and as God's people break the law, there's sacrifices that go along with it.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_00: And as we think about the the verses in our chapter, in Psalms today, verses 30 to 33, I'll read it again.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: If his children, speaking of David, if his children forsake my law and do not walk according to my rules, if they violate my statutes and do not keep my commandments, then I will punish their transgressions with the rod and their iniquity with stripes.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: But I will not remove from him my steadfast love, or be false to my faithfulness.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_00: And this is speaking to the character of God.
• 12:15
  SPEAKER_00: When he says something, he will do it.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_00: When he makes a promise, he always follows through.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm thankful for the way that this promise is connected to David, as we know that David is a sinful man, though he is the man after God's own heart, and his his offspring are no different.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: This promise to David and his offspring is so encouraging.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_00: There's a discipline, there is sin involved here.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_00: When they sin, I he's gonna correct, he's gonna punish their transgressions with a rod and their iniquity with stripes, and this is a refreshing breath.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: But I will not remove from him my steadfast love or be false to my faithfulness.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_00: And as we think about the shedding of blood, we think about for human beings shortcomings, we think of sin and transgressions against God, offenses towards God that require blood to purify and to atone to cover those sins.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_00: And as David sinned and as his offspring sinned, this promise to David that the psalmist is reflecting on, he's reflecting on the character of God.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_00: It goes on in verse 34.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_00: The psalmist says, I will not violate my covenant or alter the word that went forth from my lips.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_00: I will not lie to David.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_00: The following verse says, His offspring shall endure forever in his throne as long as the sun before me.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_00: That's verse 36.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_00: And that's an encouraging and future foreshadowing as we look to and long for the return of Jesus when he will reign supreme, put the enemies under his feet, and for a thousand years in the millennial kingdom reign from David's throne in Jerusalem.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: And what a what a sight that will be.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_00: The val the the landscape will be made low, and there will be worship in Jerusalem.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_00: There's gonna be worship in the holy city once again, and and God will be glorified as the sun reigns, and as we reflect on the promises of God and seek to obey God and just cherish the ways that his promises to his offspring and his covenants and commandments to his people.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_00: From the Old Testament onward, we're thinking about Leviticus and we're looking at the Psalms today.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_00: Um there's a great confidence that we have in Christ's work and the blood that he shed for us.
