The Law | Chris Franke and Rico Cortes

shabbat shalom everybody and welcome to HFF online this weekend we pray that your Sabbath is going well that you're enjoying your time with your family here in Norman we've got beautiful temperatures beautiful weather spring has sprung and it's with great anticipation we're looking forward to the spring feasts that are coming shortly with me today is a close personal friend of mine one of my teachers I would consider him a expert in the element of the temple studies especially from a messianic perspective Rico Cortes of wisdom and Torah Rico how you doing today brother hey Chris how are you my friend I'm happy to be with you buddy yes I were very glad to have you and we're gonna today we're gonna go through kind of a joint conversation a joint study looking at the Book of Leviticus it is this week's Torah portion reading for the annual cycle we just wrapped up the book of Exodus and with the the conclusion of Exodus we see that God takes the Hebrew people out of slavery he then takes them to Sinai he attempts to speak to them we see that they're fearful of of the voice of the Lord and they send Moses up to the mountain to meet with him the ten commandments are given the framework of the constitution of the nation of the Israelites the Hebrew people and while Moses is meeting with God the Hebrew people go ahead and build an idol the golden calf they begin to try to worship that while Moses is on the mountain with the true God and immediately after that covenant was was started the documents were given they're already breaking the Covenant with God and so we see that Moses can't even enter the presence of God in the tent of meeting because of this sin and so we start out the Book of Leviticus where God is actually calling to Moses he's calling to him from the tent of meeting he's reminding him of the principles and he's laying the law down with the frame of purity sacrifices and other key elements to executing God's perfect order in his kingdom and his nation so Rico you know tell us a little bit about the laying out of the framework when God is calling to Moses and instructing him on how the children of Israel shall approach him how the structure of the priesthood there's there's just a lot of things that are there and it with the sacrifice the sacrificial system that they have and why is this important for for us today in our current Messianic movement okay great you know one of the things that happens in the study of the Bible is the confusing perspective of the temple the time for Knakal the sacrifice is the priesthood you know and before I answer that question I want to show you why I get my resources from I quote from Jacob Milgrom he's from 5th he spent 50 years studying the Book of Leviticus he's a rabbi and also did a great job explaining them I also read from Mary Douglas impurity and danger she's a pioneer in Antep Allah I'm through Paula G in regards to understanding contagion and the influence of what happens when you the temple what I really meant from a different perspective of you know ancient Near Eastern history then we have another literature from her Leviticus as literature all these books are very pivotal to understand you know exactly what's going on today Chris in regards to the quarantine and things like that there's one more book a few more books I want to share with you before I get into this because Chris I think it's important that when we study this as I explained it I want you to know where I get it from Jonathan klawans he does a really great job explaining about you know what is called symbolism and on the study of ancient Israel purity sacrifices in the temple and he puts it in the perspective of culture and what it meant back then and also two of the volumes from the Mishnah and I'm going to show it was to you why it's important the Mishnah was written by especially specifically it's the legal rulings of what everything that went on in the temple and in this particular volume specifically it talks about what is called corpse impurity it talks about uncleanliness it talks about somebody someone being contagious in this case with send or transgression and how would you go about it and that leads me into exactly what I'm going to go into to answer some of your questions okay so the number one premise of The Book of Leviticus really is to enter into God's presence again so when you study Chris the whole idea of the Lord is to bring us back to the garden that's the mean thing in the whole Bible okay it's to return to the garden yeah Adam was created for a purpose to multiply and be fruitful and to expand the garden to expand the gun from inside out and then we get a picture of this when we study the tabernacle Chris because it starts constructing it from the inside out and from the Holy of Holies and the Ark of the Covenant outward right that's exactly how the Lord wants to start in our lives from our hearts outward circumcision of the heart towards our bodies so the whole idea of Exodus and Genesis and this is really important for our teaching today is that Genesis and Exodus chapter 39 and 40 in reality are bookends to the master plan of God he wants to restore Israel to the garden so the tabernacle is a microcosm of the millennial reign and the garden Emmanuel God with us he dwells among us again and then he gives Israel the duty to expand the garden and to fulfill the blessing to Abraham Isaac and Jacob to be a blessing to all the nations of the earth so that all the nations of the earth will receive the good news hey good news guys we can return to the garden death is defeated now we can return as a new creation okay with that being said Leviticus takes a very important position in our lives it should be because as we read in the last Torah portion and the book of Exodus which ended with the kavod the glory of God dwelling in his town an ankle that is the enthronement ceremony god reigns or rules again on the earth Israel has welcomed and ushered the kingship of God again on the earth now the problem is the text tells us that Moses cannot officiate he cannot do anything they didn't know what to do so the lower then calls out to it to Israel and if you really read the verse you know it tells you something very significant it says and and the Lord said to most speak to the children of Israel and I'm going to read it to you because I think it's very important it says many of us we read these verses but we never connected with the previous Torah portion Chris and we lose the essence of what he's trying to convey it's like for example you you like for example when you met your wife April right and all of a sudden that you got to know her but then when you married her the process of getting to know began you know then you have to have a conversation you have to know how to you know how to deal with one another on the every day basis for relationship for intimacy for any kind of conversation well guess what the law requires relationship between us and him well how would we be able to deal with the holiness of God when Moses the holiest guy in the whole camp and the priests the holiest people in the whole camp cannot even go into the presence of the Lord think about that yeah now imagine Chris if the story would have ended right there let's say that the Book of Leviticus was not written then how can we ever fellowship yeah with this guy so great to be behold and the Leviticus one says now the Lord spoke to Moses and spoke to him he called Moses and spoke to him said from the tabernacle of meeting from his throne says speak to the children of Israel and say to them when any of you drinks and offering to the Lord you shall bring your offerings of the livestock of the herd and of the law of the and of the flock now I'm not going to read you the whole thing but the whole premise is the Lord now says I'm ruling among you I'm your king but now I want to have fellowship with you let me tell you how you approach to me let me tell you how you minute how you come before me yes I am holy but you can still be Santa fide to present yourself before me and that's what I love about the Book of Leviticus it gives you a blueprint of fellowship intimacy and worship i 100% agree you know it's it's amazing when you look at the context of of scripture like you said when you when you go back and you read the previous torah portion and you are connecting the dots of the whole entire story rather than just picking up and starting at Leviticus one and forsaking what was the the precursor to that time and if we if we don't utilize the precursors that God gives us in the entire story we're missing huge elements of that we're basically using the scripture in a manner it was never intended to be we're using it in a way that we want it to be when God has given us those stories and all of this in a cyclical fashion for us to ultimately understand his plan his lot like you said with my wife and it meant a love story it really is a love story of a creator who loves his creation pretty much I mean think about that you know we're starting with Leviticus and we're talking about the fact that you know God could have he could have stated Sinai you know he could have said you know okay it is rayul you're now a nation here's the framework for you to be a nation you go here and you know once a week or twice a week or whatever he decided you you come back to this mountain and and you meet me here but he laid a framework that he could dwell with his people so they could experience just how magnificent he was in in the midst of them I mean how clear is that that's that's and I mean that the Chris that's overwhelming to me to think that the creator of heaven and earth requires holiness but opens the way to approaching him but he teaches us in the process or reverence respect honor holiness now let me if I may let me share something that I think we miss about and I'm gonna use modern-day what's happening today around us to convey this message okay right now we are in a whole shutdown in so many places so many countries now the whole world last Shabbat they they were forced to keep Shabbat okay now people don't want to wash their hands before they sit at the table for Shabbat dinner but last last this ha this whole week we've been forced to wash everything all the time now is exactly where they get it from it's from temple service because that's the one thing that kept the children of Israel alive through the bubonic plague to the you know all those things in the Middle Ages now watch this the issue that we're having today and the reason why we're suffering what we're suffering today in America almost to economic collapse is because the world is completely oblivious to what Leviticus tells us because you see some values is what defines a nation a nation the whole book of leviticus is all about are all about values it's trying to teach us about about the values of God ok so what is holy to the Lord what is clean to the Lord what is the proper behavior of sex between two people how do you treat one another I mean ok like let me ask you a question you go to a work meeting or you work to an interview you go to an interview and the first thing you do you take a shower you get all dressed up to present yourself adequately to go me someone you don't know but when we talk about this principles from the temple perspective and yet we call ourselves the temple of God we never understand that 45 percent I think about this 279 Commandments in the Torah there are 613 279 of them deild with the temple directly so 45 percent of the commandments Chris deals with the temple the feasts the priests clean on clean food and all that stuff the values of the far-east are affecting us today even in our pockets in the economic sector now think about this is however is supposed to be a kingdom with values established by God himself he's saying I want you to be an example of holiness so let me tell you how you do it now do you know that the Torah is a very unique document it's to the extent that in the ancient world I say engineer is you know me now for a long time and I'll be saying that word Allah but it's so pivotal to understand because in the ancient Near East in the ancient world when the world of the Bible was written okay they the gods or what they think perceived as the gods the ancient kingdoms they never knew how to please the gods in other words they will serve this god vile a shara or the gods of the Egyptians but they never knew how to please them but the Torah is the only document that specifically tells you exactly what God requires of us so that we know psychologically what pleases him what it doesn't please him so guess what we don't have to guess you know oh how I love to do your Will O Lord for your law is in my heart you see what I mean so the Book of Leviticus we should be the center and the pivotal point to the point that I was listening to a Christian pastor doctor by the way the other day and this week as we go into the whole coronavirus thing and he made this statement he said clean animals you may get sick through a bacteria through clean permissible animals in the Book of Leviticus but you know and you may die from the bacteria but you're not gonna pass on the virus however unclean animals that the Bible talks about not only you can die from the bacteria but then you'll be able to contagious to be contagious with a virus of somebody else now think about that for a minute that's really powerful knowing that the Lord says not to eat those things and do I mean oh absolutely and you know in talking to some of my friends who are who are in the medical field you know some of the most dangerous viruses or bacteria that exist are the ones that originally start out in in a human body where we already have antibodies built up to these things whether it's from the washing of hands or cleanliness or whatever but then they're transferred into animals they mutate so they're not in their original form and then we consume those animals and we bring it back into our body well this is this is very much one of the most common talked-about elements of our current issues we're dealing with right now is that the unclean animals that have been eaten were in theory they had this mutated form and when it was ingested back into the body our bodies did not have antibodies for that and this is important for us to understand because you know we have we have a third of the world's religion right now are considered to be Christians in a part of Christianity and one of the the major talking points of Christianity is the fact of the vision in which God declared all things to be clean and we have that that that's that's a very common teaching right now and and there are there's some scholars in in Christianity right now who are taking a different approach to that and having different more open conversations but as a whole that is a very common concept that is taught in Christianity well the problem with that is what I what they're then saying is that sometime throughout history throughout the time of the ancient world to our modern Midwest world that we have right now in our Western culture that that God changed that somehow by changing how creation worked that creation somehow completely changed well there's nothing in the scripture to back that up and there's no authority in the scripture that God gives us to make that change on our own and so this is one of the reasons why we when we look at how the ancient Near Eastern concept works with our modern Midwest concept of today it's very relevant for every area even considering what you were talking about with the temple and the purity of the people to be able to be clean and be with a holy God well if we take the concept that we are now the right our body is the current temple on this earth obviously there's not a temple in Jerusalem right now that's that's freestanding with brick and mortar so if we're the temple then the application of the cleanliness of the temple still applies to us today and those principles and those parables that are talked about they're absolutely relevant for how we keep our temple clean so that the Lord can come and dwell with us and if we continue to use just our knowledge just the knowledge then what we're doing is we're working on our mind not our heart which means we're not doing what Leviticus tells us to do inside the very temple that God has given us today right you know you you were mentioning about the way the system of religion uses acts chapters 10 in regards to Cornelius March after seven in regards to the food's permitted acts chapters 15 now I'm going to read you something really quickly from this book purity sacrifice on the temple because if I'm gonna I'm gonna make this statement and then I'm gonna read this and this is the core essence of the Book of Leviticus by the way the Book of Leviticus is dealing with moral behavior and this is why in sins involving moral sin like adultery idolatry was considered spiritual adultery in murder and also fornication is in the context of sexual ritual sex sexual ritual goddess and things like that that is considered models more moral sin homosexuality morality and things like that okay so what we miss is the fact that the temple the people officiating and the high priests in this case not the temple itself because the temple is holy and when God declares something holy it's always holy that the office is holy the people can be corrupt so in the book right here there's something really cool that I says in page 177 that I would highlight it because it's so significant it says the Second Temple may have been morally corrupt but it was now impure now let me expand on that because the people officiating it's like saying a pastor fell in sin so the whole congregation is sinful that's not necessarily the case the leader now think about this the leader sinned in a moral behavior which brings shame to the whole community but that doesn't mean that the whole community was morally impure you follow and we don't really understand the differences when it comes to the temple we say well the high priests and the niacin Caiaphas were morally corrupt but that eliminates the whole service altogether and that is not true so watch this let me read this it says in page 176 it says impurity impurity and sin in ancient Judaism since I demonstrated that the rabbi's continued to be interested in the notion of moral defilement it's also demonstrated that from them unlike the qumran sectarians so let me let me move on a little bit more incest says in their view moral impurity was caused primarily by the sins explicitly so described in the Hebrew Bible idolatry sexual sin and murder - this short list the rabbi's also added from time to time all the things that are abominations okay so the Bible is quite simple God is trying to separate himself from the behavior of the nation's in how to worship Him in other words let me give you an example I'm gonna go here to a PowerPoint I want to show you something okay and I want to show you this real quick okay the pagans regularly they set food and drink on the gods table well if you read Psalms 50 God tells them say wait a minute do I need your food survive so what did God do he gave the food to the priests he gave the good the food for them to eat so that no one would say that that the God the God of Israel's eating the food like the nation's and that by the way this is the reason why none of the food was ever eaten anywhere near the altar or inside the shrine ever the priestly family band or foot right inside the shrine the next point is the soulful gifts brought a sacrifice were our configure asleep removed from the tent the Lord's you know the domicile where he lives thereby erasing any suspicions that Israel's God consumed the sacrifices solely some fifty when you see that no honey eleven sacrifices were done at night why the only sacrifice that it was in a night was a Passover but nothing can be sacrificed at night why because of the worship of the under God's on the world God's the the the were the gods of the dead temples now this is the important one temples according to the ancient mine ancient mindset was defiled by demonic powers now this week's Torah portion Chris in chapters four if you understood the temple service you will get it it took me a while but I finally understood what defiles the temple is not the demonic powers what the files the temple was the sin of Israel that's why you needed to purge the altar that's what you need to sprinkle the blood on the altar now what does that mean to us today that's why Paul uses the language I'm sorry the book of Hebrews and in Peter it's only the word sprinkled by the blood is found certain times in the New Testament in the book of Hebrews and also in first Peter that's what we have been it's a metaphor he's writing and saying you have been sprinkled by the blood of Messiah now what does that come from it comes from the Exodus experience when the when the worship get our calf was a was done in the mountain and Moses took half of the blood and then he took he sprinkled on half of the people and on the altar now that event it is significant and redefines the ancient world's perspective of worship because now we don't have to be afraid of demons DK you see the Bible admit some the Torah omits them because it represented chaos the God's people our order is there in the realm of order so therefore if you commit sin if you do some a transgression against the Lord all you need to do is repent bring an animal of the blood now represents the Covenant or renewal the priest is set aside to manipulate the blood because only they can do it and then they sprinkle it on the altar why the altar it represents the authority of God thus now the rest' the relationship is restored and now you have cleanse by your repentance the temple of God versus the mindset of the ancient world that it was the demons that always profaned the temples and that's why did the sacrifices Chris they dis Acra physis in the ancient world in the pagan religions in order for them to avert the demons so imagine putting blood on the altar putting blood under images of their gods putting blood of their temple saying now by the blood of this animal this temple is protected and the Lord says know what defiles my holy place it's not the powers of things don't exist in his mind but what the files what the files the place is your behavior moral behavior if you sin against me you can still come ya if you willfully sin you cannot approach me any more if that makes that makes perfect sense and I am I'm glad you you went there because this is this is you made two really big points to me that that I see we struggle with as a body of believers nowadays and that is that one we're constantly taught and we're constantly looking at how does the Bible tie to our personal testimony our personal walk and in doing so we've left out one big element and you kind of hit on that that the Book of Leviticus really outlines and that is is that yes we are to look at how God has outlined for us to walk in his obedience and find his favor through that those purities in those commandments however we cannot forsake the fact that it's also given for the greater community for the whole group of the believers so that when their fellowshipping together that you're not forsaking another individual you teach on this with righteousness and justice as well and you kind of taught on this in a statement earlier where you were talking about the shame and how an honor and shame and how those things tied together if we are to take the Bible and apply that to ourselves and for whatever reason and how I want to deem that interpretation I am then causing you when we gather together to to be in not right standing with God because of my interpretation I'm not looking at the Torah or the Bible or the commandments of God in the whole picture there's the personal aspect but there's the immunity aspect and the temple and the tabernacle in all of these things and Leviticus are for the community as well and we forsake that a lot unfortunately with sabbath-keeping gatherings because we do want to make it about ourselves or our interpretation or through Midrash we we want to argue points and we forget the fact that especially on Sabbath and when they had those gatherings the feasts and when the temple was there and they were gathering at the temple it wasn't about just you it was about the whole nation all of God's children and we really do need to remember that I the other thing that you brought up there towards the end yeah that I really want I want you to I want you to expound on this because I think this is something very crucial for the one-third of the the the general religion in the world the the Christianity being one-third of the the major religions that are there a lot of people still struggle with how the Book of Leviticus especially the sacrificial system and the ritual purity that are there for the priesthood for the tabernacle and then followed through in the temple is well they struggle with the fact that there are offerings and their sacrifices and the statements are made like well Yahshua is our final sacrifice or Yeshua was however there's a very interesting thing that that Leviticus actually doesn't specifically talk about and correct me if I'm wrong here it gives multiple offerings grain offerings oil flour turtle doves this it gives multiple instructions for different portions of that community if they have unintentional sin this is how you're supposed to do but I don't see in this these passages that there is a willful sin offering now a lot of times people will try to tie that back to there is a specific reason that God did not have a willful rebellious offering for sin there because the only sacrifice that could be even remotely capable of that type of defiance or that type of rebellion would be God himself through his son not the father but the son giving his life as a spotless sacrifice for all of the willful sin all the rebellion don't expound on the on on your thoughts on that for me perfect I have asked I'll have a shot right here I want to share with you and again please understand that we have to be mindful of this the number one problem that we have in the body of Messiah is that we have disregarded 45 percent of the Bible by not understanding Leviticus by not understanding the time for Nicole but not understanding the priesthood the pretty feasts all that stuff if you consider the arguments that are going on every week on almost every congregation it's all about one of the things that involve the temple Passover is coming they argue about the calendar well that's that that delt would attack with the Sanhedrin Council which was established in Deuteronomy 17 according to God and it was deal with the temple because only the high priest can declare declare holy the day to be observed the new moon the same thing okay the same thing happens when it comes to the Christian world as a system we're not attacking the people we're just talking about the system of religion so when they talk about sacrifices on something they don't study so I'm going to show you a here that outlines for us the different types of sacrifices there were three altars and I'm going to cover the one you just asked me so there are three altars in the tabernacle there's the the brace and togi I'm sorry the Ark of the Covenant that's be considered as an altar there is the altar of incense you can only put blood there not any metre than the animal then you have the greater altar outside in the court of Israel on the court of the Levites I'm sorry in the priests it's Rehanna Cohen in the courtyard of the priests those three represented three different types of offerings let me show you number one would be the Ark of the Covenant that would cover Leviticus 16 11 through 19 now if you read Leviticus you know that Leviticus 16 deals with the Day of Atonement yep okay so only the King only the King here is the prayers of repentance on the day of atonement for willful on willful or braceland and unrepented sin now sums 51 and i'm going to connect this songs 51 is when david willfully took the wife of uriah and then he got a letter to send him to killed he did it willfully and he says if you wanted offerings and animals I will give it he understood that what he did there was no offerings before but he understood the one thing repentance and repentance he went to the Lord and the Lord forgave him but his family suffered because of that forever now what's interesting is that um Yom Kippur this is the basis of the book of Hebrews sadly only people who don't really study the temple will never get the book of Hebrews okay book of Hebrews was written in the context of the Day of Atonement in the year of Jubilee if you look at if you look at Hebrews chapters 9 22 there were forgiveness of sins in he and Greeks supposed to say remission now remission is completely different than a regular forgiveness of sins and people don't know the differences of a judicial matter of sacrifices in other words there are different transgressions and there are different degrees of parish punishment per transgression I mean if you just go over the speed limit by five miles you're not gonna be thrown in jail for twenty years you know I mean so murder and idolatry was completely different and adultery was completely different because it was willful it was voluntary it was in this regard to the commandments it was an affront to the authority so now you have the number one altar in this case the Ark of the Covenant where the high priests who go once a year now remember you were talking about the individual in the community this is where the community takes a hold because the high priests not only represent himself he represents his family but that day alone he represented the whole of community so the Lord still gave access to him a representative of humanity per se or in this case Adam he will represent Adam he will be the last Adam on the earth in this case and Adam on the earth the high priests will be in order to represent on behalf of the nations and the people of Israel as a collective unit that's what Yom Kippur is that's why the book of Hebrews is presenting issue as the high Greece in the heavenly tabernacle because now he can take our repentance and now through his blood he can present it on the holy Holies in the heavenly tabernacle that he did once and for all and now he's representing not only in celle but everyone else and so to speak so that we can be in good standing with God now watch this number two the second altar you see on the screen is for involuntary communal violations that's Leviticus 4 verse 13 to 21 and then you have number three which is the outer altar it says involuntary individual violations in Leviticus 4 21 to 35 now let me ask you as a question when was the last time we looked at the Book of Leviticus and understood that there are different different levels of transgression of involuntary communal involuntary individual and also national braceland on repentance violation that we have on the day of atonement once I understood that breakdown when I read the Book of Leviticus now becomes simpler because I understand there's a purpose to a particular need for example the Ola or the Thanksgiving offering you don't have to do anything wrong it's a it's a Thanksgiving offering by the way praise or worship praise you know that whole praise you know where that comes from it comes from this sacrifice the Ola that Thanksgiving that's when you gather together with you brought your best to the Lord and you present it because you're grateful and thankful that some things went the right way in your life and you say thank you Lord for everything you've given me and now you want to just delight in him and now you praise Him so when we say let's pray some worship worship was actually presenting yourself to the temple the right way praise was the offering that you were bringing to delight yourself in him and the family with you that's only an example of what you know the temple sacrifices meant and there were no sacrifices for willful rebellious sin at all because remember willful rebellious sin involves moral sin idolatry adultery you know murder you know all that stuff right now let's think about the sin of Ephraim the sinner of Ephraim in the Bible idolatry adultery murder they did exactly what God says not to do they dare you serve the authority of the holy thus God says remove yourself from me you have defiled my temple with moral misbehavior now and then and I want to bring this up on her and I give it back to you but this is important when you read the book of Hosea all the prophets when when the bots when the Lord says you bring your sacrifices and to me as an abomination let me ask you a question if you see someone and we've done marriage counseling and things like that and sometimes we'll deal with people who have committed adultery in their marriage what is the behavior of the if the man committed adultery on the wife what is the behavior of the wife in regards to how she sees her husband now she doesn't want nothing to do with him because he has transgressed willfully a covenant and an oath somebody needs to leave the house normally the house is divided this exile and there's division of the property and the family structure suffers that's exactly what God is trying to say he's saying you're bringing sacrifices to me but you are behaving in an immoral way which represents which you are my image letting everybody know out there that I am unfaithful on loyal to the Covenant if you can bring me a diamond ring that woman can tell you if you give her a diamond ring but you are unfaithful and you beat her up and you do the wrong thing she's not gonna accept the ring because your behavior does not reflect in the loyalty and the love that she requires that's really the whole bottom line God says don't bring me an offering if you're not living according to my instructions because nothing immoral can dwell in the presence of God let's repeat after me guys whoever's watching right now nothing immoral can do all in the presence of God now go through the Gospels and I want you to pay attention to the issue issue as having ritual purity versus moral purity he's not against rich or purity in the temple he is again placing ritual purity above moral purity rich or purity just take a bath and you got moral purity is different it requires a complete change in your behavior and your lifestyle but I will actually want to read Hebrews chapter 5 for those who maybe haven't studied or seen that connection between the high priests the line of aaron in leviticus and all the outlines and then how hebrews chapter five specifically for the day of atonement tied together because also in in this torah portion and throughout the book of leviticus we see that god then lays out the cycles for his feast days for the significance of each feast day and how we should do that and so like like with everything you know you and i are always trying to tie everything into not only our modern world into the context of the original world that it was written to but then also trying to reflect what's happening in the spiritual realm as well as what's happening because we know that everything that happens in manifests itself in the physical realm is also manifesting in the spiritual realm and so Hebrews five I think really lays that out specifically tying to the priesthood and the day of atonement and it says for every high priest taken from among men he's appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to God in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided since he himself also is besieged with weakness so this is a key difference right here that they're talking about the difference is is ultimately every high priest that is a normal man a man that is ordained by God under the line of the Levitical priesthood they're so human they're still they still struggle with the same things everybody else does so that they have the ability to be weak we see that with with Aaron's sons in Leviticus during this portion to work they're basically insulting they're insulting God and the holiness and the presence and I'll kick that back to you because I I know you've done teachings on the encroachment of the Sancta the holy place but Aaron's sons they they 100% encroach in on the holiness just through their own weakness of saying we can do do this the way we want and God's like no ain't gonna happen so the the high priests of right the human because God is a God of order because I'm sorry because the God is a God of order even though he picked the priests they still needed to submit to his way of doing worship Krabbe no I completely agree and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins as for the people so also for himself there's the individual and the community once again and no one takes the honor to himself but receives it when he is called by God even as Aaron was you have to be called by God to be the high priest this is not something that we just we just willy-nilly make up and say well I'm the high priest now no this establishes just like Leviticus does there is an order this order is established by God and that's how you differentiate the peace of God in the chaos of this world God is a God of order and I know you teach that a lot right by the way yeah and you know something that a verse really says in verse 2 that's very significant which shows you the need for Yeshua to come to the earth to suffer like we did because God wanted to show humanity and that men could feed and live according to his standards see that's a one thing Yeshua lived you have a moral life he's at times he was ritually impure he was at times he was ritually impure he touched that person he touched a leper he touch a sick person he was impure ritually but morally the Bible always mentions him as a morally upright person so God is trying to show humanity hey listen you could do it you can live according to my standards it's not too difficult my Torah is not so difficult that you can say who shall come up that's what Paul is saying in Romans chapters 10 who shall go up to heavens and bring it down to us who should gone down to the sea is near us it's in our mouth in other words Paul is conveying the message of God Yeshua defeated death that is caused by willful rebellious moral sin you can beat it you have the strength if you only put your mind to it because your shoe I showed you that he was just like you and I and he's the son of God clearly but he was just he suffered the same things we do and he still conquer them in other words it come back and become the Adam that I want you to become guys this is very significant verses because it shows us how the high priest is supposed to be the microcosm it's supposed to be the image of God on the earth and how now the Lord is bestowing that upon us we are now the priests and kings on the earth that's it right into the next the next verse where it says so also Christ did not glorify himself so as to become a high priest but he who said to him you are my son today I have begotten you and just as he says also in another passage you are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek so ultimately Messiah did not glorify himself to become the high priest he didn't have the power on his own to to claim that he was the high priest this has to be ordained by the father just like it was in the Book of Leviticus and so it's you know it's interesting when we actually look and we actually understand the context of what was going on in the ancient days and then we turn around and we apply it even to the time of Yeshua and we say okay well hold on wait a second Jesus the Messiah a lot of people will admit Jesus was a Jew that's not an argument that a lot of people have nowadays but what he did and why he did it is is still very much a a source of of debate in in contention amongst a lot of believers and here we see with Hebrews he's he's not he's not debating God at all he's following in line from Bob from the father as the mashiac and he's executing this not only in the physical realm like we saw with Leviticus but then also setting forth this in the spiritual realm under the order of Melchizedek and so once again like you said earlier and I in it all together the heavens the garden how we've been impure how we've fallen apart how we've disobeyed and not Chima hear the word of God to restore it all back together the way God originally intended it to be man I agree with Chris and you know the or the book of the book of Hebrews is so in order to the point that the letter to the Hebrews was written from Italy chapter 13 verse 21 23 was written from it in the context of the tabernacle during the siege of Jerusalem in other words the temple was standing for 40 years after you sure doubt a resurrected now think about this and during the 40 years Paul Peter James John none of the disciples ever spoke against the feasts he ever spoke against the temple ever spoke against the sacrifices on the contrary poor if it was hastening to get to Jerusalem for the feast on Pentecost well wait a minute you cannot keep Pentecost if you don't observe Passover so therefore you got Paul celebrating Passover forty thirty year twenty years after you showed and resurrected so my question is there's such utter order because the order of Melchizedek can only be officiated in the heavenly realm because Yeshua in chapters 8 let me go there real quick chapters a verse for for if he you're sure I was on earth he would not be a priest since they are priests who offered gifts according to the law there's such perfect order that Yeshua resurrected and after he resurrected he didn't just go barging into the temple after the resurrection for forty days into the Holy of Holies how come he never said anything to the disciples hey guys that temple is done away with the priesthood has done away with never on the other hand he told them no waiting to the day of Pentecost by the way did you know you have to bring an offering on the day of Pentecost and the firstfruits which is actually according to the booga leviticus so there's a there's a disconnect because the priests were sanctified and holy to the Lord in the book of Exodus and again in the Book of Numbers okay so therefore Yeshua could only officiate in the heavenly tabernacle because on the earth and I know people that like to hear this but on the earth Yeshua and I'm gonna say with full confidence he cannot be a high priest on the earth because God gave that jurisdiction to the priests in the line of Aaron now the temple is destroyed the priest of the line of Aaron cannot officiate in the Holy of Holies the book of Hebrews is written during the siege of Jerusalem when the temples being destroyed now he's conveying the comfort of guys don't worry the connection between heaven and earth is destroyed by the Romans no we still have a connection between heaven and earth the last Adam Yeshua oh by the way God has made him a high priest too represented in the heavenly tabernacle don't worry you still have a way to access him and to come before him before him all you need to do is behave yourself still in a moral righteous nature let's study ritual purity and moral purity and that's what the Book of Leviticus teaches us the values of moral purity and then we will understand the rest of the Bible put it to the test don't believe what I say look at the Book of Leviticus from moral purity verses Richard purity they were both important when the temple standing but in the first century ritual purity took a greater dimension among the Pharisees than the moral purity okay so therefore now it was equally important but to them richer purity on the everyday domained way outside the temple proper was important now Yeshua saying no no no wait a minute what's the use of you looking perfectly on the outside ritually but your hearts is far from me moral purity can be done anywhere in every domain in the world and still the law would accept you by the way and I finish with this in Cornelius when you go to Cornelius and chapter in Acts in the last verses of the book of Acts and chapters 10 very significant I did a teaching on this on the first day or the tour in Israel this year talked about Yeshua on the whole thing listen to this it says then he said to them it's an axe 10:28 then he said to them you know how Allah for it is for the Jewish man to keep company with or to go to a minimum another nation but God has shown me that I should call any man common and unclean now the whole system of religion uses that chapter to say is about eating clean and unclean well you want to go eat bats welcome coronavirus you want to eat a pig welcome the swine flu you want to have you see what I mean so now here it talks about common and unclean look those two words in the Greek and you're gonna notice that it's connected to moral behavior so it's using temple language and here no one studies this from temple language he only focuses on verse nine to thirteen okay from 15 and they think is about them all the four-footed animals when a reality the vision is about Peter connecting the Romans as unclean with the cat with the animals so it's using temple language to convey the the lifestyle of Cornelius that in chapters 10 verse 1 and 2 says a devout man one who fear God with a household gave arms generously to the people and pray to God always he was a righteous man morally upright and God says you don't call someone who's morally upright common and unclean I will accept them because richer purity can be easily fixed well I want I want to actually tie this directly into you know we spend a lot of time talking about you know the elements of this and why it's important but I want to tie this into a concept that that every American should know and that is is that how do things get done in our country there are laws there was a constitution that was written that constitution in and of itself continues to be added upon by the people who have the authority to do so so when you look at that right if they want to do away with the law so for example in the last couple of years two major things have been very big issues in multi states around America one is the legalization of marijuana and the other is what does the Second Amendment allow for as far as the concealed or open carry of a firearm on someone's body so they did not go back and abolish the laws that were in existence beforehand what they did is every state has then passed different laws on top of the existing law that allows for either medical use or some have not some have kept the the original law intact so what we see here is that if we're looking at from the book of john forward and what's traditionally known as the new testament if if we look at that who there has the authority to add laws to the Torah not the Apostles so so you look at that it's like well wait a second there is no authority to do that so if Peter has a vision Peter doesn't have the authority to go in and make a decree to add a law so the existing law and this is one of the things that I keep I keep trying to hone in to a lot of my friends is that the Torah was given and there's no place in the Bible that it says that the Torah was then taken away or a new constitution was put in in fact if you look at it in the conversation of ritual purity versus moral purity in Yeshua's days Yeshua made it harder let me repeat that Yeshua made it harder because when you're looking at the laws of ritual purity God specifically outlines to you what you are to do to remain in a good status of ritual purity it's right there in the Book of Leviticus it's in the Torah for us to figure out how to approach God he doesn't there's no question mark we're not we don't have some random made-up God in a volcano that were throwing animals or grain or money or whatever hoping we're going to please that guy know he specifically outlines to us exactly how we can maintain a ritual purity by the grace of God for us to be able to come back and meet with him through the atonement that he provides there when Yeshua comes on to this earth and starts to teach of the Torah and starts to teach of what people what they was originally intended to be in the moral purity it gets harder because it says and well having sex with somebody else that is not your your spouse in the Torah if you engaged in the act it's wrong if you killed a man it's wrong as soon as your shoe starts to speak about the the moral aspect of the purity of being a person in the kingdom of God he says if you even think of it it is if you created this so a lot of times it becomes very frustrating to listen to people who say well man the law is legalistic or man the law is hard if you really are listening to the words of the Messiah Yeshua and you're actually keeping that in your life that is harder to do it is harder to not think about wanting to cause harm to somebody it is harder to not think on a member of the opposite sex in a lustful way it is harder to not even engage in the thoughts than it is to actually not do it right right right well the the whole idea is to return to the garden and represent the God of Israel as his image and that's the whole idea to defeat defeat our label inclination yeah tell her now yet Saratov they Jewish talk about this all the time the good inclination about internship Paul talks about it the the the what is the slave to sin slave to freedom you know look the biggest trouble that we have in our relationship with God is us it's not the Bible I mean look the scripture tells us exactly the instructions he gives you examples how how the Lord responds to how people behave I mean the whole Torah is about okay you messed up this is what I'll do to you you obeyed this is what I'll do to you now you talked about the Constitution and how the Constitution on the Congress and the way on the house they do amendments but even when they try to change the law and they argue among about it they send it to the Supreme Court justice right and there they're trying to interpret the law not to create once the Supreme Court does not have the job to make laws they have the job to interpret them correctly for the benefit of the nation now you see this book right here the Mishna which everyone goes who traditions know these are the writings of the rulings of the Sanhedrin Council trying to try to understand the commandments in different time frames do on their life time but they cannot change the law now the Gemara which is the opinions it's like right now we can have our own opinions but the moment would quote the scriptures well that's different that is concrete right then you're gonna have a book that I'm reading from that is just an understanding but then if we have judges and if we will have judges and the judges get together and they say okay guys this well the Bible says this is the context in today will we live without taking away from the essence of this commandment then once that decree is done or that ruling is done then we'll be come talking about it we can have opinions about it like for example cannabis right now you know they made it legal whether you like it or not it's legal in some states there's nothing you can do about it you got to live with it you just don't do it you know just you don't have to do it but you cannot say is it legal in that state because according to the law it is now same sex same sex marriage to me is an abomination put according to the law of the United States it's legal so I don't do same-sex marriages that's why I don't do weddings anymore because I don't want to put myself in that situation you see what I mean because I'm not going to do them so therefore my values reflect the values of the Torah and we try to become the image of God we'd the problem in the systems of religion Chris we want to mix God's values with our modern-day worldview and the values of this country and that's what the disconnect I'm gonna correct that's the disconnect when we try to fit God's plan into our way of life instead of God's Way of life into our life look righteousness and justice honor and shame those principles are themes that can be practiced through every generation in every domain in every country country in every age time aah period helping the needy the homeless and the widows is never gonna change that's what you're always gonna have poor people now how do you do it in the country that you do is different but doing righteous things never changes so the themes what are the main themes in the Bible covenants it's a relationship of a covenant righteousness and justice honor and shame then the temple which teaches you the Covenant of nature and the things you need to do to be considered righteous to do justice to bring honor if you don't study the temple you don't know the protocol you now follow the Covenant you gonna be an oppressor and then you're gonna bring shame and then the name of God is going to be made spectacle because we're not living according to his character that's really house if we bring it down to the nitty gritty let's return to the temple I've been saying that you know me for so long Chris and I turn blue in the face sometimes temple temple people get sick of me sometime temple temple if only they understood the importance of the temple that's why I'm so adamant about it because I see it how much has changed my life it's helped me you get a lot of criticism yeah what I'm trying to please God I'm not trying to please man you know well we have seen that God's name it has become a spectacle through how our actions are and one of the biggest elements that that I believe that is also outlined as we're in this season right now it's the remembrance of the Covenant well what was what was one of the ways because obviously we don't have the earthly temple right now so if it was you know there would be people coming and going to Jerusalem and all that but the temple then was a gathering place that then had specific commanded times that all people were supposed to come back that the men of the household were supposed to come back three times a year and we see that in Leviticus as well that he outlines this the feasts gatherings and the celebrations and to me it's important for us to understand that because we've lost that most most people have lost said I mean even down to the traditions of America that are not feasts gatherings they're not they're not even commanded they're just whatever the moment you stop doing things you know the moment we stop doing the fourth of July in this country we see a lack of patriotism for those who have gone before us well guess what what's happened we stopped doing the feasts the the tribes that were dispersed that are out there the people who are out there that are believers we stopped doing the feast we we don't do the feast cycle it's a commandment it is it is a bit of the structure of the nation of the identity and why did he do it why did he give us multiple ones well there's many reasons for that just like there's many reasons why he had to give us the temple but one of the biggest elements of all these things is to remember the Covenant we forget the company and forgot to allow in a cyclical pattern so that we don't disengage from God forget what he's done and then lose our identity as believers in Messiah Yeshua in the kingdom of God this is a huge people this is why is as much as I know that I catch a lot a lot of junk for it and I don't care what what congregation what church what fellowship what home-study you do it in it's so important for us to to gather on the Sabbath and the reason why it's important for us to gather on the Sabbath is because if we can't make it even if it's just one other family in your living room if we can't make the the weekly set apart time to focus on God and to physically practice a spiritual element of a commandment he's given us then it's very easy for us to forget about Pesach about unleavened bread first fruit shovel well Pentecost the day of atonement the yom teruah and then Tabernacles it's very very easy for us to forget well once you start forgetting all of them then you forget about God and then you're in a bad place and that's a hundred percent because remember I open the study with the Book of Leviticus or about values so the last few in the last 40 years well what have we had in this country what was the last time the Pledge of Allegiance was taught in the schools yep when was the last time people put emphasis on family doing the most important times of the year I mean there's no longer community aspect everyone's an individual this is why the government says don't go out because we want to save your life from the virus and all the kids that go to the beach and they don't really care in other words I don't really care I'm gonna live life assets today so you don't really care you're your fellow citizen because you may contain you know you may be contagious and then somebody else will die that's that's like murder really knowing mean that you're knowing that you can expose yourself and still be willing to do it because you don't care about anybody else this is called an individualistic mentality the Torah is not about the individual and so we forget the Torah is about the community as a whole and for example if we don't say the Shema if we don't stay the weekly Torah portion we're gonna lose our values and by the way every congregation I travel over 23 countries Chris and you know what I've been doing this a long time and every congregation that I've been to that always falls in chaos there are two things in common one they don't study the temple two they don't study the weekly Torah portions because if you don't study the weekly Torah portions how are you gonna learn your values what did the congregation in acts 15 taught Paul and Barnabas to do when they went when that letter says we tell them not to bother those who are turning to God but only show them this in the beginning abstain from this from this from this he says for Moses is preached every Sabbath all over the place in other words you need to be discipled so therefore the Torah is what teaches you what are the values of God when to meet with him what is holy what is not holy if you make a mistake how to fix it so now it gives us an example I messed up Lord a man I I am so sorry O Lord I love you so much I messed up don't make excuses says I messed up I defile your temple okay so now he says okay you want to come before me let me give you the prescription to that problem and he gives you the outline in the Book of Leviticus exactly how to come to him if you do it with a pure heart and you bring your best to the Lord man that is a sweet aroma to the Lord you can go home psychologically knowing that your good your - at rest knowing that you forget you ask for forgiveness he's merciful and kind and grateful and graceful so therefore you go home so how do we know nowadays how to fix issues with one another we don't study the temple so we don't know so therefore it affects every aspect of our communities look now people disagree with one another they run off to another congregation I've been around Jewish people for the last 15 years now and I talked with rabbis all the time and it's interesting I'm in conversations with them we can talk in this agree and disagree the next day they see you hey how you doing Rico how is it going that you do it you're good knowing that we have some extremely big differences I believe in Yeshua my heart they don't believe in you sure but yet we can sit down and talk about all the types of topics and agree and then they still respect me even though I believe in Messiah because they're mature enough to understand that there are all the values that we hold together they're always surprised I do this man are you the face I teach about the temple I quote Leviticus but there are brothers and Messiah that they're not that tolerant there's no maturity there therefore if I disagree with you or do you do this and I do it this way I don't talk to you anymore well guess what that is called theological thinking and that is called the now denominationalism and we need to get away from that the Book of Leviticus it points you to is that about you right now it's all about being good standing with God let me tell you how you and the priests allows you the honor to come to the Lord the Lord says what you don't know how to do it not a problem pay our errand your kids come over here I'm gonna select you you're in charge of making sure now think about this we never think about it like this I do I asked a whole bunch of questions every time I study so think about this quiz you make a mistake and are you afraid of this God you see the cloud you see what he did will do the Egyptians and you don't have a way to come to him and you're afraid clearly you've been a slave your whole life so now the Lord says Aaron your kids come over here alright guys listen this is your job I want you to prepare yourself to be holy to be morally upright to manipulate the blood the right way so that this guy over here this Israelite can be at least knowing that I will accept his offering now think about the love of God that he sets up a whole clan of people the whole tribe for the sole purpose to serve you and then he tells the people all you need to do now is rayul you don't have to worry about approaching me you do it the right way and you're morally upright they'll take care of the ritual you need to now take care of them be reciprocal bring your offering I'm not gonna eat them the Lord says I want you to give the offerings and the firstfruits and your ties to them so that now they can live according to their jobs so that they can minister to you it creates a circle of grace now the system of religion leaders they abuse that they don't take care of the people by ministering to them but they want the people to take care of them and the people they want now they come to the Torah they don't want to take care of the teachers right because now they know everything so we have a disconnect why because we don't study over taxes if we will study Leviticus we will know how significant that that's an overarching element that you know I'm glad you brought up because you know you look at that just as much as God went and said okay I'm gonna I'm gonna set aside this whole tribe of people to do this and you guys take care of him they did they did you you you see people talk about not wanting structure or there's the abuse of power from the pulpit or whatever and in let's be honest we paint with a lot of broad brunt brushes and in our modern culture but it doesn't matter who's going to set up whatever whether it's a God ordained or not the the first reaction by the overwhelming majority of people is actually like no no no who are you to set it up like I you can't set a we we don't want structure we don't want order we don't wanna thority we don't want any of that and that's the problem because we cannot cast stones on any nation's on any other religious beliefs on any other practices until we first look in our homes in our groupings of people the children of God who profess to keep these things who study these books who talk about the temple who look forward to the rebuilding of the time it's important this is one of the most key elements that I think people need to understand you know I I'm a pastor in church I don't make a single penny off my church the Lord has provided a way for me to not have to do that but there's a lot of people out there who are very much serving in the line the line of the the priesthood for their grouping whether it's a community or its nationally internationally there they're operating in that role and a lot of people respect them your goal should not be to go out and tear those people down your goal should be to support those people yeah our goal should be to get back to teaching the proper way not considering that basically we're gonna have the core of mentality and we're gonna create our own thing or we're gonna create our own cat or we're gonna create our own culture or we're gonna create our own pagan culture whatever it is at the end of the day Leviticus is very very clear if we really want to get back with the order of God we actually have to obey the order of God duh amen amen I what what did ephraim do think about this what did the house of Israel do that cost under dispersion they changed the feasts they change the location of the temple they change the priesthood that's exactly what's going on today because they don't want any direction and that's the reality now my final point will be this I think the Book of Leviticus and the book of Exodus clearly tells us he says okay the Lord says these are my ways you are my people your job is to consider to keep yourself morally and also ritually pure okay morally more importantly than ritual when there's no tempo and there's a temple then you got to do both when you go to Jerusalem okay and then he says and I want to facilitate for you the people who will help you approach me okay the problem is that now anyone can get on YouTube and anyone now can be a teacher of the Torah and you don't know their family yeah you don't know their lifestyle you don't know them personally and you don't know whether or not they even have any relationship with anybody and you don't even know who their teacher is listen if you know anything about me you know who I study with you know every resource that I study you know where I've come from if you go with me to Israel you get to meet my wife and my son you get to know my older boy when you when he's around to you get to know my family so therefore we have to be careful they're good kids yeah thank you and you know we have to pick teachers who first have it why do I respect you because do you and I agree on everything no Chris you know one of my best friends in the world we don't agree on everything but we still brothers in Messiah and we still talk all the time and we still agree on the big picture the little things hey we're still gonna you know see it as we go alone and I'll walk and the local teachers or lessons you know this is part of growing but I know your wife I know your kids bro I've seen them grow I mean so therefore I give out for who you are as a person as a husband as a father you know and now I now respect you because of that more so there being a pastor of a congregation because anybody can call themselves a pastor and be a lousy husband and father and you know and a person you see what I mean correct so we need to reevaluate how and to whom we listen to the day I stopped living according to the principles that God called me to live by find somebody else to listen to you know because I have a responsibility and this is the essence of the Book of Leviticus God gives Israel with the instructions you are now accountable and responsible to behave with maturity now think of that the Lord says I know this is my glory of my temple and my tabernacle I'm gonna give you access to come near me but it's up to you to be accountable and responsible to what you can control if you do what I asked and I'm gonna give you the instructions all you to glow you too magnificent to behold yes you are too holy to be in your presence yes and steel God says come come let us reason together now think about that why would the God of Israel one to reason with us and he gives you the instructions he facilitates for people to help you he gives you the directions as to exactly what to do so that we can have fellowship with him so that he can dwell among us so that's why we're people says oh I am the Temple of the Spirit of God but I love my pork shop I struggle with that because how can you call yourself the temple of God and then put in your body something that in the temple of God will cause an abomination you see what I mean there's a disconnect and hopefully we'll do a good job to bring it forward thank you Chris man for having me here man I really appreciate it hey thanks for coming on and I 100% agree with you you know we really do need to take a look at our our lives not only as individuals but as a collective group of people and see are we really aligning our standards with the holiness that God has laid out in the Torah with the precepts that then you schewe himself put into play for us to interpret those elements if we don't take a serious look during this season right now if we don't take a serious look at at our own individual hearts our own community's hearts we're in deep trouble because we are in the season leading up to Pesach where our only hope our only hope to overcome plagues our only hope to overcome pestilence our only hope to be set free from whatever the slavery and bondage is that we have in our hearts and in our lives has already been foretold at this very season with the story of the Exodus and passing over of the children of Israel if we are not going to put in the blood on our doorpost not literally don't go out and put blood on your doorpost but if we're not going to take the temple in our homes as a community and as individuals and we're not going to cover ourself with that and realign with the standards of holiness of the Lord we're in a lot of trouble and in the judgment that we see around this is only just begun and the Lord will use that judgment for however long is necessary to restore the order to his perfect creation and so Rico thank you as always for being on thank you to Yolanda for allowing him to be with us and Tito for helping to make this happen let's go ahead and close in a word of Prayer if you don't mind dear out of 9 we sure sure thank you for having me as always they meant yeah go ahead yeah love having you man no I was going to say thank you for having me Chris I really I really appreciate you and I hope that everything we do will be pleasing to the Lord and edifying to the body of Messiah so thank you for having me shabbat shalom and go

kept these words alive father I thank you that by the power of your Holy Spirit right now you are calling people out you are calling people back to your word to study your temple to study your ways to
