Joel 225: Christ = Leviticus! The Set Up. So, how does Thomas get us started on our journey?
Our pastor used to use the whiteboard to write lists, so either we must keep in our heads... or we could just write it down.
We start with Holy Ground and sandals. Unsandaled... so we’re in Deuteronomy 25:5. This law is called The House of The Unsandaled. God is referencing the first murder of Able. Then why did Judas hang himself over the field of blood? Able is the shepherd type of Christ and Judas is the Cain, a murderer. John 1:14, “...the Word was made flesh.” Then we have the circumcision of the heart and circumcision became a visible symbol of a male Israelite, the sign of the Abrahamic covenant, therefore also a spiritual sign. And Christ is the last Adam. Was Adam circumcised? Was he baptized? We are circumcised at salvation... an unseen system. But Thomas would not believe Jesus, the seed... wouldn’t believe unless he saw it. But Mary Magdeline believed the report of the Angel, but her answer was not theologically sound. She can’t get His body. She did not understand René Descartes, lol.
But on to Leviticus! Yay! Go to 21:13, and here.. we.. go! At least we thought. But for now... back to Thomas. Sorry Yvonne. She wrote, “Hello, please let the pastor know that I am ridiculously excited about spending time in Leviticus!” But our pastor has to set things up first. Why does Thomas get the prize of putting his finger in Christ’s side and hand? And Jesus did many signs, or gave many trophies. The answer is found on Leviticus 16:14. We have an earthly alter and a heavenly alter. Jesus must pour out His blood on the Heavenly Alter. But the focus here is on Thomas. So, listen in. You are auditing the Advanced Class. It’s about Him... It’s about Salvation.
