I’m not a priest! I’m not a Jew! I’m not a man! I’m not a woman! Those statements can cause us to compartmentalize Scripture. Some instructions may not apply, but they can all teach.

Unauthorized fire can only lead to one thing; death. Just what are we looking to for our life here on earth? There is no reason to wait for The Kingdom for a change of life. We can practice Kingdom life while we are yearning for it.

The “Eighth Day” points us to a time in which the leprosy of this world will be forever in the past. But, do we have to wait till that day to enjoy the benefits of it today? Why the affliction anyway? Is it punishment or grace beyond our comprehension?

Scripture paints a beautiful picture of a house, a people and a destination. The central focus on the painting is the Master of the house who gave of Himself as the lamb and will one day establish His rule as the lion. What does a baby’s birth teach us about this house and the people of the house?

The form of the Tabernacle is complete. Now it is time to reveal the function of it. The function is to be a revelation; a revelation of what? Is the revelation actually a what or is it a who? Knowing that answer is life changing!

Time to assemble again. This time it will be for the right reason, the right Shepherd, the right King. The people will embrace the giving, the work, the function and the purpose. The underlying problem, which is not revealed yet would become their demise. Let’s not make it ours!

How many sermons and teachings have been brought forth on the golden calf by people living golden calves? What is this calf about and what was the sin or sins which allowed it to be brought forth? Mixtures, calves, heading back to Egypt? How close are “We” to repeating history?

A change is made from volunteer to order. Why? What is the reason for being instructed to bring olive oil and not bread or something else? What do olives and olive oil teach us about out walk today?

The Tabernacle teaches of a theme which spans the pages of Scripture. Just to consider that Yah had and does have a need is more than most can comprehend, but when we do, it not only changes the way we think, but the very way we live.
