Leviticus 23: Witness what Messiah has done, is doing and will do
Like the pattern of the Tabernacle reveals the character and plan of the God and the LORD’s Messiah, the pattern of the LORD’s appointed times (מוֹעֲדֵי יְהוָ֔ה mo’adey YHWH) in Torah reading אָמַר Amar/Emor (“say,” Leviticus 21–24) gives us memorials in time for the patient care of Heaven toward us and our role in the LORD’s appeal to the world.
This time, we’ll take a look at the overview of the annual appointments of the LORD, outlined in Leviticus 23. Didn’t the LORD say He hated them (Isa. 1:14)? So why should we care about them?
Today’s talk on Parashat Emor will focus on the moedimin Lev. 23. When we talk about the Moshiach, the “word made flesh [who] dwelled among us.” Lev. 23 is a snapshot of God’s appointments with mankind. The Messiah is the direct representation of the LORD.
Leviticus 23 is a great starting place to learn what patterns of God and His Son Yeshua are like. The feastivals of the Lord give us the message of the Lord throughout time, that He’s looking to take us to the Kingdom of Heaven. Lev. 23 is the roadmap of our salvation.
A snapshot of time
Okay, well today we are going through the Torah passage, called Emor, which means “say” in Hebrew, and it’s kind of interesting because there are a couple of different ways that the word “say” comes through in Hebrew. One of which is amarand the other one is davar.
The primary meaning of the wordDavaris “word,” but it also means “to say.” One of the things we have when we get over to the Apostolic times, especially in the Gospel of Yokhanan, mentioned in John 1, he says “…The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.”
And that is a very interesting little glimpse into what we’re going to be looking at today. Parashat Emor covers Leviticus 21-24, but we are focusing specifically on Leviticus 23, to give an overview of the moedim. We’ll talk more about the word moedim in particular.
When we’re talking about “the Word made flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14), this is a particular passage where we can see in one big snapshot, the big main appointed times — the appointments that God made with mankind — how they’re linked together. That’s similar to how Hebrews 1 talks about the Moshiach (Messiah) as the direct representation of the LORD.
‘If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father’
So we can see as we go through today’s lesson, how the Moshiach is the direct representation of what we looked at so far in Vayiqra (Leviticus). Yeshua (Jesus) is the direct representation of the Tabernacle itself, the Mishkhan, which was built “like the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.”
So thus, these appointments in time fit with that pattern. The life of Yeshua also shows us this pattern. We’ll dive into here today into Leviticus 23.
“Moshe declared to the children of Israel the appointed times of the LORD.” (Lev. 23:1)
Well, what we just read is a huge. We are going out to the end of the diving board into a pool that is really, really deep, like going off to the continental shelf. Imagine you’ve just been going out and you look over the edge and just you cannot see the bottom.
Well, this little broad brush is covered over a huge portion that takes up a whole lot of Scripture. In particular, what we’ve seen in the last part of Leviticus 23 is what a big portion of the book of Revelation covers. A lot of Revelations parallels what you see about these appointed times in the seventh month — trumpets, atonement, dwelling with God, New heavens and a new Earth.
If God makes an appointment, will you show up?
The Bible calls these the Lord’s appointed times. It does not say Jewish at all. All the translations from KJV forward will say exactly the same thing.
