PRAYER - "God Responds Dramatically to Moses' Prayer"
Numbers 11 records a dramatic exchange between Moses and God. The people were tired of manna and wanted meat. Moses was desperate for help. God vindicated Moses with two great miracles. He anointed seventy elders to prophesy over the people, then sent TONS of quail for thirty days.
Numbers 11:30 - "And Moses gat him into the camp, he and the elders of Israel. And there went forth a wind from the LORD, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp,...as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth."
PRINCIPALS - "Leviticus"
Leviticus is a seminal document, in many ways more profound than the United States Declaration of Independence or Constitution. How? First, Leviticus sets in order the priesthood, and organized religious service to God. Secondly, it contains the germ form of the universal code of civil and moral law that now rules not only Israel, but most of modern civilization. Although Hammurabi's Code (Babylon) predated "Moses' Law," Judeo-Christian ethics can be seen far more predominantly in governments worldwide.
Leviticus 8:5 - "And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which the LORD commanded to be done."
PRINCIPLES - "Fellowship"
The Peace Offering was shared three ways. Part was burned on the altar unto the Lord. Part (the Heave Offering) was given to the priest to eat. The remainder was eaten by the people. It is often referred to as the fellowship offering because it brings the people together with God and the Priesthood.
Leviticus 10:14 - "And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they be thy due, and thy sons' due, which are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings.".
PROPHECIES - "Killed By The Beneficiary"
It seems somehow ironic that God required each person to slay their own sacrifice before presenting it to the priest for placement on the altar. The murderer would be the beneficiary of the atonement. That is exactly how Jesus' sacrifice was enacted. He was killed by the very people He came to save.
Leviticus 3:2 - "And he shall lay his hand upon the head of his offering, and kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron's sons the priests shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about."
