Today you have read the end of Leviticus....of course you know I am proud of you for sticking with this. I can assure you that God loves you getting to know Him better!
You will notice that God points out rewards for obedience. He knows we are sinners, but He wants us to know the difference between right and wrong and make the RIGHT choice. God used sin's consequences to draw them to reptentance, not to get back at them......we are naturally rebellious.....(hard to believe, right!). Just know that we will be re-reading this scripture as we move forward....God tells the people exactly what they need to do and they will be blessed. Every bit of this scripture will be revealed...even the part where "you will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters".......then we will come back to this very prophecy and you will be amazed. God does what He says He will do. Note that God will never punish without warning first....God has wrath....but he is not a God of Wrath that needs to be appeased just to be nice. God is a God of love....he has big plans for His people...He will fulfill his covenant...but, this is a two way relationship and the people have to do their part (this includes us)....note He says in 26:6 I WILL GRANT PEACE IN THE LAND and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid........has this happened yet? You will not that he also says, "If you rmain hostile toward me and refuse to listen to me, I will multiply your afflictions seven times over, as your sins deserve...."Would you consider that it is because the Isrealites are not currently doing what they need to do right now?......the only way to God is through Jesus and the Jews do not believe that Jesus has come yet. However, Scripture also tells us that God is not through with the Jews.....so....stay tuned to His plan
God has been teaching the people of Isreal for two years. They have been camped at the base of Mount Sinai....are they ready to break camp and move to the Promised Land?
Look what comes up from the depths of the sea.
