Leviticus
Chapter 3
{Leviticus 3 - 3rd Offering - The Peace Offering - Doctrine of Reconciliation (see also Levitical feasts in Chapter 23 - Passover, Firstfruits, Unleavened Breads, Pentecost, Feast of the Trumpets, Atonement and Tabernacle).}
1a~~"And
if his oblation/offering {qorban-means to 'draw near'} . . .
{be}
a sacrifice of the peaces {shelem - plural} offering."
{Note: 'Peaces' is plural here. It is the removal of barrier between God and sinful Man - doctrine of Reconciliation and RBT says another type of reconciliation refers to the two deaths of Christ on the cross.}
{Verses
1b-16 Categories of the Peace Offerings}
{Verse
1b-5: Bull Peace Offering}
1b~~"If
he offer it from the herd
{a bullock/bull at this time referred to either a male or female - until
this time in Leviticus, the offering was male because Jesus Christ
was male - now we are moving to after the cross - doctrine of the
Propitiation of God the Father. Man is reconciled to God (only the
offending party is said to be reconciled to the One offended)};
whether
it be a male or female
{the male is active obedience to the Plan of God by Jesus - His
positive volition; the female represents passive obedience by
Christ in receiving our sins - goes back to Eve who was deceived
in her sin - she was passive in her sin where Adam knew exactly
what he was doing when he sinned - his sin was active. Man is
Active, woman passive (receptive)}}
he
shall keep on being caused to offer it/
'draw
near through the offering' {qarab}
without
blemish before Jehovah/God."
2~~"And
he {the one offering}
shall
lay his hand upon the head of his offering
{where he confesses his sins to God not the priest or the thousands
watching his sins are between him and God - no one else's
business},
and
kill it at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation
{sins are transferred to the bull in the analogy and judged - this is
a teaching tool showing what would happen to the Messiah on
the wood/cross - the brazen cross was outside near the door -
so others could see and learn (the golden altar was inside but
that represented prayer)}.
And
Aaron's sons, the priests,
shall
sprinkle the blood upon the altar round about
{again the blood represents the spiritual death of Christ on the
cross}.
3~~And
he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering
an
offering made by fire {fire represents judgment}
unto
Jehovah/God;
the
fat that covers the inwards,
and
all the fat that is upon the inwards
{the fat represents the best part of the animal - Christ gave the
BEST possible offering Himself - Absolute Perfection}.
4~~And
the two kidneys/reins
{kilyah - emotional volition of Adam -
negative then Christ, the last Adam, positive volition},
and
the fat that is on them
{the best part - Christ gave His best},
which
is by the flanks
{confidence of Jesus Christ going to the cross},
and
the membrane over the liver
{yothereth - anything transparent refers to Glory - light is glory -
the revealed Glory of God 'made manifest'/revealed in Jesus
Christ},
with
the kidneys,
it
{the parts of the animal to be burned}
shall
he {the priest} take away."
5~~"And
Aaron's sons shall burn it on the altar
upon
the burnt sacrifice,
which
is upon the wood that is on the fire.
It
is an offering made by fire,
of
a sweet savor
{represents 'acceptance' - correlation between propitiation (cross
from God's viewpoint and reconciliation (cross from man's
viewpoint)}
unto
Jehovah/God."
{Verses
6-11: The Lamb Peace offering}
6~~"And
if his offering/'drawing near' {qorban}
for
a sacrifice of peace offering to Jehovah/God
|
{shelem - represents reconciliation of man to God}
be
of the flock; male or female,
he
shall offer it without blemish. "
7~~"If
he offer a lamb for his offering/'drawing near' {qorban},
then
shall he offer it before Jehovah/God
{means in front of the tabernacle}."
8~~"And
he shall lay his hand upon the head
of
his offering/'drawing near' {qorban}
{again identifying the sins of the one offering with the animal},
and kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation.
And
Aaron's sons shall sprinkle the blood thereof round about upon the altar
{again blood represents spiritual death of Christ on cross}."
9-10~~"And
he shall offer of the sacrifice of the peace offering
an
offering/'drawing near' {qorban} made by fire unto Jehovah/God,
{fire speaks of Propitiation related to Reconciliation - God is
satisfied with the work of His Son on the cross - HE is Propitiated/
Satisfied; WE are Reconciled (to say WE are satisfied is
meaningless - and God is not reconciled to us - only
the offending party is reconciled to the party offended)}
the
fat thereof, and the whole rump
{again, fat represents 'the best part' - the best sacrifice possible -
Jesus Christ Himself},
it
shall he take off hard by the backbone.
And
the fat that covers the inwards,
and
all the fat that is upon the inwards, 10~~
and
the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them,
which
is by the flanks
{flanks are the internal portions of the loins
and the ancients used it to represent confidence},
and
the membrane over the liver {yothereth}
{transparent membrane - the Super Abundance of His Glory},
with
the kidneys,
it
shall he take away."
11~~"And
the priest shall burn it upon the altar.
It
is the food of the offering/'drawing near' {qorban}
made
by fire unto Jehovah/God."
{Verses
12-16: The Goat Peace offering}
12~~"And
if his offering/'drawing near' {qorban}
be
a goat, then he shall offer it before Jehovah/God."
{Note: God emphasizes expiation - Jesus Christ personally represented each and every human being when He hung on the cross and from His free will accepted our sins to Himself and the judgement of each and every sin. The Lamb and Goat offerings are the same - just the emphasis is a little different.}
13~~"And
he shall lay his hand upon the head of it,
and
kill it before the tabernacle of the congregation.
And
the sons of Aaron shall sprinkle the blood thereof
upon
the altar round about."
14-15
"And he shall offer thereof his offering/'drawing near' {qorban},
even
an offering/'drawing near' {qorban}
made
by fire unto Jehovah/God;
the
fat that covers the inwards,
and
all the fat that is upon the inwards, 15~~
and
the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them,
which
is by the flanks,
and
the membrane over the liver {yothereth}, with the kidneys,
it
shall he take away."
16~~"And
the priest shall burn them upon the altar.
It
is the food of the offering/'drawing near' {qorban} made by fire
for
a sweet savor {represents 'acceptance'}
all
the fat is Jehovah's/God's."
17~~"It
{the peace offering}
shall
be a perpetual statute
{`owlam chuqqah - used for permanent doctrinal categories}
for
your generations
throughout
all your dwellings
{take it home with you in the norms and standards in your soul},
that
you eat neither fat
{The Father is satisfied with the best part - the person of Jesus
Christ - God's Righteousness is satisfied}
nor
blood
{The Father is satisfied with the work of Jesus Christ on the cross
- God's Justice is satisfied}."
