  Leviticus chapter 2. Let us pray.
• 0:07
  Father God, we thank you for another day.
• 0:10
  Thank you for waking us up, putting us on her feet.
• 0:14
  Thank you for food, clean drinking water.
• 0:18
  Thank you God for breath and our lungs.
• 0:20
  Thank you God, for clothing. Thank you for love and for
• 0:24
  family. Thank you, God, for all the many
• 0:27
  blessings that you've already poured out, Lord, even the
• 0:30
  things we're not aware of. Thank you, God, for saving us,
• 0:35
  Lord, to the utmost. Thank you, God, for rescuing us
• 0:38
  and pulling us up out of the muck and the mire.
• 0:41
  Thank you, God, for this wonderful life that you've
• 0:44
  called us into, the abundant life.
• 0:46
  Father, Lord, we repent. Lord, we confess.
• 0:51
  Lord, we turn from everything that's dragging us away.
• 0:55
  God, we consecrate the temple. Lord, I pray that you'll help us
• 1:00
  to be men and women of faith, those that actually do the work
• 1:04
  of an evangelist, those that actually are out in the harvest.
• 1:07
  Father, I pray that we'll come out.
• 1:09
  We'll meet you there. And Lord, hand in hand, Father,
• 1:13
  produce a crop, produce fruit, produce the effect, God, that
• 1:18
  you are after for this world. I pray that we'll be playing a
• 1:22
  I'll pray God that we'll continue to walk the walk and
• 1:27
  talk to talk God, that will not just be hypocrites and
• 1:30
  duplicious Father, but that we'll actually be the ones for
• 1:34
  such a generation as this God, those that people can look upon
• 1:39
  and see the reality. God of the manifestation Lord of
• 1:43
  your presence in our lives. God, I pray that you'll help us,
• 1:47
  help us to finish this race well.
• 1:49
  I decrease as you increase. It's all about King Jesus.
• 1:53
  It's not about us, Lord. And so I pray that we can get
• 1:56
  out of the way, Lord. We give you center stage, We
• 1:59
  give you the whole room, God. We give you every single
• 2:02
  molecule, every single bit of us, Father.
• 2:05
  It's all yours, Lord. We surrender all.
• 2:08
  Lord, Teach us your ways. Keep us on the right paths.
• 2:12
  Rebuke the devourer, God, bind the enemy, Father, in the mighty
• 2:15
  name of Jesus, help us, God. You are incredible.
• 2:19
  We love you, King Jesus. It's all about you.
• 2:22
  In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
• 2:26
  Well let's start in verse one then.
• 2:29
  When any will offer a meat offering unto the Lord, His
• 2:33
  offering shall be a fine flower, and he shall pour oil upon it
• 2:37
  and put frankincense upon it. Can you see the typology of
• 2:42
  Christ? Can you see it friends?
• 2:44
  This fine flower, this is His presence.
• 2:49
  It is fine. I pray that you see the
• 2:52
  smoothness of Christ. I pray that you see that He is
• 2:57
  our all sufficient sacrifice. Look at how this frankincense,
• 3:01
  it points towards His burial. It points towards what He would
• 3:04
  do for us. Friends.
• 3:06
  Look at how we're talking about the oil of the Holy Spirit
• 3:11
  poured out upon him to And he shall bring it to Aaron's sons,
• 3:15
  the priests, and he shall take of it handful of the flower, and
• 3:19
  of the oil thereof, and the frankincense thereof, And the
• 3:22
  priest shall burn the memorial of it upon the altar, to be an
• 3:26
  offering made by fire of a sweet savour unto the Lord.
• 3:31
  This is that offering made by fire.
• 3:33
  It's the testing that produced the brass legs of Christ.
• 3:37
  This is how we know that God here all the way back in
• 3:41
  Leviticus, He had the cross on his mind.
• 3:44
  He had the life of Christ on his mind.
• 3:46
  This all points to him. Three.
• 3:49
  And the remnant of the meat offering shall be Aaron and his
• 3:52
  sons. It is a thing most holy of the
• 3:54
  offering of the Lord made by fire.
• 3:56
  So here the priests actually get to enjoy it.
• 3:59
  It's not just all burnt up for. And if you bring an oblation of
• 4:03
  a meat offering baked in the oven, it shall be unleavened
• 4:07
  cakes of fine flour mingled with oil and unleavened wafers
• 4:11
  anointed with oil. So he here we know that leaven
• 4:13
  is the yeast and we know that it's the sin.
• 4:16
  It is the hypocrisy of the Pharisees.
• 4:19
  We see that we cannot just have the worship with God and mix in
• 4:26
  sin. It just doesn't work that way.
• 4:28
  We must deal with the sin at the door.
• 4:30
  We must have it covered over with the blood of Jesus Christ.
• 4:34
  We have to make sure that we are pure in His sight.
• 4:36
  We are innocent in his sight. We cannot bring any of this
• 4:40
  hypocrisy and the duplicity into to the camp.
• 4:43
  It doesn't work that way. God will not put up with a St.
• 4:47
  who is continuously stuck in sin patterns.
• 4:50
  He will deal with you. He will make sure to uncover
• 4:55
  that and to bring it to the surface and have you walk that
• 4:58
  season out of humiliation. And that is something that we
• 5:02
  can't avoid if we will deal with it at the onset.
• 5:05
  Make sure that you carve that cancer out before it ever goes
• 5:09
  into your bones. Friends, there is such things.
• 5:12
  You'll see it in the First Corinthians and the Corinthian
• 5:15
  church, these carnal Christians. And that's what he's warning US
• 5:18
  against. We cannot be those who call
• 5:20
  ourselves Christians and who are going around and we look no
• 5:23
  different than the rest of the world.
• 5:26
  Take out the 11 friends. Five, And if your oblation be a
• 5:34
  meat offering baked in a pan, it shall be fine flour, unleveled,
• 5:37
  mingled, unleavened and mingled oil.
• 5:40
  Look at how we take out the sin, and we cover it with the Holy
• 5:43
  Spirit. 6 You shall part it in pieces and pour oil on it.
• 5:47
  It is a meat offering. Seven If your oblation be a meat
• 5:52
  offering baked in the frying pan, it shall be made of fine
• 5:55
  flour with oil. 8 And if you and you shall bring the meat
• 5:59
  offering that is made of these things unto the Lord, and when
• 6:02
  it is presented unto the priest, he shall bring it unto the
• 6:05
  altar. 9 And the priest shall take from the meat offering a
• 6:09
  memorial thereof, and shall burn it upon the altar.
• 6:13
  And it is an offering made by fire of a sweet savour unto the
• 6:16
  Lord. The prayers of the Saints go up
• 6:19
  ransom. You can see here that all the
• 6:21
  way back in Leviticus, Moses is telling the Israelites what God
• 6:25
  wants. And you can see that he's
• 6:28
  instituting all of these guardrails so that later on way
• 6:33
  down the road, when they look back and they've built laws on
• 6:36
  top of laws to protect the inner laws so that they will not break
• 6:40
  them. Then you can see here that it
• 6:43
  all points to our desperate need for a Savior, somebody who can
• 6:47
  fulfill all of the law. Then we put our faith in Him, we
• 6:52
  believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, we call upon that name,
• 6:56
  and we are saved. 10 And that which is left of the meat
• 7:03
  offering shall be errands and the sons.
• 7:05
  It is a thing most holy of the offerings of the Lord, made by
• 7:08
  fire. So here not only is it just
• 7:11
  burnt up, but some of it is given over to the priests, and
• 7:15
  this is how they would make their living. 11 No meat
• 7:20
  offering which you shall bring to the Lord shall be made with
• 7:24
  leaven, for you shall burn no leaven, nor any honey, any
• 7:27
  offering of the Lord made by fire.
• 7:30
  So here you can see that the leaven is the sin, but this
• 7:32
  honey is attached to Pagan practices and God did not want
• 7:36
  them to come up with their own rules and set of understanding
• 7:42
  and ideas of how offerings should be made.
• 7:45
  God's the one who sets the rules.
• 7:47
  Friends, we need to understand that we attach ourselves to God
• 7:50
  and whatever God says, that is the law.
• 7:53
  That is what we have to do. We don't get to cherry pick
• 7:57
  verses, We don't get to tell God how to behave.
• 7:59
  We don't get to make up our own set of rules here.
• 8:02
  And God is telling them do not be like the pagans and mixing in
• 8:06
  the honey with your sacrifices. And we can also see that when we
• 8:12
  follow after our Lord Jesus Christ, we must count the cost.
• 8:16
  We must know that His ways are not our ways.
• 8:21
  And a lot of times in our life, it is not all sweet.
• 8:24
  There is this bitterness inside of our bellies after we have
• 8:28
  eaten of the scroll, that when we see the horror of having to
• 8:33
  follow after God who does whatever he pleases, friends,
• 8:37
  and he knows what's best because he's good.
• 8:39
  And that is the hardest thing for a human to understand is how
• 8:43
  can a good and loving God allow so much of the things that
• 8:47
  happen in this life? And you need to go ahead and get
• 8:50
  that out of the way at the outset.
• 8:52
  It's not all honey. It's not that as if you come
• 8:54
  unto the Lord and everything and every day and every moment is
• 9:00
  going to be exactly the way that you thought it was going to be
• 9:03
  and go ahead and get that notion put away.
• 9:06
  It's going to be hard and in this life you will have trouble.
• 9:10
  But take heart because He has overcome the world, friends, and
• 9:14
  that is what you need to understand.
• 9:15
  Whether it's persecution, friends, whether it is reviling,
• 9:19
  whether it is ridicule. Count it all as joy, friends.
• 9:23
  And that is what He is telling them.
• 9:25
  You're not mixed as honey, thinking that it's going to be
• 9:28
  sweet all the time. 12 As for the oblation of the first
• 9:34
  fruits, you shall offer them unto the Lord, but they shall
• 9:37
  not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.
• 9:41
  So this is the offering of the first fruits, and God deserves
• 9:44
  our best. He doesn't want your sloppy
• 9:46
  seconds and your leftovers. 13 And every oblation of the meat
• 9:50
  offering shall you season with salt.
• 9:53
  You just shall you suffer the salt of the covenant of your God
• 9:56
  to be lacking from the meat offering.
• 9:59
  For all your offerings you shall offer salt.
• 10:02
  So here says salt was costly, friends.
• 10:04
  And we need to know the salt covenant.
• 10:06
  This is how two would make a covenant and they would come in.
• 10:10
  And if people shared in this salt covenant, they would be
• 10:13
  friends for life. And you also need to know that
• 10:16
  the salt arrests the leaven friends, and we are called to be
• 10:19
  salt of the earth. And that is what you need to
• 10:22
  know. 13 And every ablation of the meat offering show you
• 10:27
  season with salt. So here you can see that God
• 10:30
  even cares about how things taste.
• 10:32
  And we are to be the salt of this earth, and we are to season
• 10:36
  a bland world that's going by the wayside, and they're
• 10:39
  choosing all the lesser. And when we come in, we are the
• 10:43
  salt. Things become more vibrant, and
• 10:46
  the sin is arrested when we come in to the scene. 14 And if you
• 10:52
  offer a meat offering of the first fruits unto the Lord, you
• 10:55
  shall offer the meat offering of the first fruits, Green ears of
• 10:59
  corn dried by the fire, even corn beaten out of full ears.
• 11:04
  So God wants them to bring their best to Him. 15 And you shall
• 11:09
  put oil upon it, and lay frankincense thereon, and is a
• 11:13
  meat offering. So here God wants them to
• 11:16
  understand that He is not looking for them to go ahead and
• 11:21
  get their whole life in order and then come to Him.
• 11:24
  He must be preeminent. He must be there first.
• 11:27
  He must have their entire life, not just the leftover at the
• 11:34
  end. 16 And the priest shall burn the memorial of it, part of
• 11:38
  the beaten corn of it, and part of the oil of it, with all the
• 11:41
  frankincense of it, and there it is, an offering made by fire
• 11:44
  unto the Lord. Aren't we thankful that the Lord
• 11:47
  Jesus Christ shredded the winepress, friends?
• 11:50
  Aren't we thankful that he had the baptism of fire?
• 11:53
  Aren't we thankful that he went to the cross willingly?
• 11:57
  Aren't we thankful that he is our all sufficient sacrifice?
• 12:01
  And when we look back at all these rules and all these laws
• 12:04
  and all of these parameters and the guardrails that God put up
• 12:08
  for the sacrifice of the meat offering, the wave offering, the
• 12:12
  heave offering, you can see here that Jesus Christ is our all
• 12:17
  sufficient sacrifice. He went to the cross willingly.
• 12:21
  He laid down his life so that you and I can have abundant
• 12:24
  life. And so much of this is foreign
• 12:27
  to our modern minds where we just go through our life.
• 12:31
  We pick up our Bible every once in a while, we go to church on
• 12:35
  Sundays, we dress up nice. And it is foreign to us to think
• 12:39
  about the Israelites here in the wilderness.
• 12:42
  It is foreign for us to think about the early church and how
• 12:46
  they operated. It's foreign for us to think
• 12:48
  about a Jewish man who is the Messiah, who is the anointed 1,
• 12:54
  the savior of the world. We are so completely wrapped up
• 12:58
  in cultural Christianity. But we must get back to the
• 13:02
  basics where we see that all of these sacrifices were all
• 13:06
  pointing to the culmination of Calvary.
• 13:09
  And that is why we celebrate Calvary to the degree that we
• 13:12
  do, because we're not held to these same rules and standards
• 13:17
  and bylaws and laws. We have freedom, friends, and
• 13:20
  who the sunsets free is free indeed.
• 13:23
  And so that is what we celebrate.
• 13:25
  But you need to know that back in this time God was wanting
• 13:28
  them to understand their need for Christ.
• 13:31
  And now we look back at Christ and we must see our need for Him
• 13:35
  too. And there's coming a time and a
• 13:37
  day in the Ezekiel temple during the Millennium rule and reign of
• 13:41
  Christ on this earth that all of the sacrifices are going to be
• 13:45
  reinstituted. Friends, what an amazing
• 13:48
  thought. You can see, see that God wants
• 13:50
  us to lock in, wants us to understand that Jesus is Lord.
• 13:55
  And I hope you've been blessed by this amazing chapter in God's
• 13:58
  Word. I know I sure have.
• 14:00
  I'm praying for every single one of you.
• 14:02
  I love you. We'll see you back here
• 14:03
  tomorrow. God bless you.
