Thoughts from the Christadelphian Bible Readings March 2nd (Leviticus 7, Psalm 106 verse1, Corinthians 15)

Leviticus 7verse1-7 provides details about the "guilt", or "trespass", offering. Remember that this offering related to deceitful acts, where the guilty party had sought to hide the truth. The Apostle John tells us in his first letter and in chapter 1 verses 5-10 that Jesus is our guilt offering. This, says the Apostle, is only to those who confess and forsake their sins. Verse 8 speaks of the Burnt Offering, which represents a life of devotion to the Almighty. Verses 9-10 speak of grain, or meal offerings. These offerings spoke of the work of the hands of the faithful. These offerings, were free will offerings and could stand alone, or may accompany the Burnt Offering, or the Peace Offering spoken of in verses 11-21 and 28-34. The Peace Offering spoke of fellowship with God (and as a consequence of this, with our Lord Jesus Christ (1 John 1 verses1-4). It is through the work of our Lord Jesus Christ that we have peace (Ephesians 2 verses11-22). Psalm 106 completes Book 4, the Numbers (or wilderness psalms). The Psalm is one of thanksgiving to the LORD for His faithfulness seen throughout the nation of Israel's entire existence. Verses 1-3 tell us that His awesome deeds done for Israel are multitude. So His people must praise Him for these acts. Verses 4-5 are the writer's personal prayer for deliverance. Verses 6-7 are an acknowledgment of wrong and an acceptance that the nation's sufferings were deserved. From verse 8 onwards the Psalm recounts the Israelites' history. Despite Israel's misdeeds the Almighty delivered them time and time again. The Psalmist starts at the Red Sea from verses 8-11 and tells of delivery for His people and destruction to their enemies. It produced a response from His people (v12), which verse 13 says, was soon forgotten. Verses 14-20 recounts their terrible behaviour in the wilderness and their rebellion against Moses. Verse 21 summarises by saying that they constantly forgot Yahweh's loving kindness; which had (v22) been abundantly apparent in Egypt. Moses constantly stood as a mediator between God and His people. Verses 24-27 further explains their rebellious behaviour in the wilderness. Verses 28-31 speak of their failure at Baal Peor when they had reached the borders of the Promised Land. This time it was the zeal of Phineas that saved Israel. Verses 32-33 tell of their constant criticism which finally broke the spirit of Moses at Kadesh Meribah. In exasperation Moses failed to glorify God when he in anger struck the rock. Verses 34-39 illustrated that the pattern of failure characterised their entry into and possession of the Promised Land. Idolatry remained among them until their Sovereign allowed their foes to afflict His people (verses 40-43). Nevertheless their compassionate Creator saw their distress, throughout the times of the judges and in His pity saved them (verses 44-46). The Psalm concludes with a plea for the mercy of the LORD to continue with His people and for this they should still praise Him. In 1 Corinthians 15 the Apostle outlines the incontrovertible proofs of Christ's resurrection before hundreds of eye witnesses, in many locations and over a prolonged period - 40 days: Acts 1 verses1-3. It could not be said that Christ was not resurrected. And thank God for that; since apart from that event our sins could not be forgiven - verses 12-19. Our Lord Jesus Christ Lord rose 3 days after his crucifixion and was the first fruits of the resurrection - his faithful disciples will join him when they are raised at his coming - verses 21-23. The process of perfecting the faithful in Christ's 1,000 year rule is described in verses 24-28. By God sending His Son to the earth to set up the long promised kingdom. A 1,000 years later will complete this stage of the Almighty's purpose with the earth. That purpose is spoken of in Numbers 14 verses 20-21; Psalm 72 verses 1-20 - read and consider; Habbakuk 2 verses 14, 20; Revelation chapters 20-22. At this time the Lord Jesus Christ will hand over the perfect earth to his Father; who as Supreme Creator will be all and in all. How impossible are trinitarian notions when we are told that our Lord will acknowledge his subservient position to His Father, God. A short discourse follows on the need for each of us sin prone beings to be baptised, that we may be raised to eternal life. A treatise on the differences between our natural bodies and those raised and bestowed upon with the life from heaven comes next. Paul tells of the superiority of Christ over Adam, who in many ways was a parable of the Son of Man - the Christ. What a time that will soon come and how we yearn for it (read of it in Isaiah 25:6-9; and Hosea 13:14, as cited by the Apostle). Finally, read aloud and meditate on verses 57-58.

Thoughts on the readings for March 1st (Leviticus 5, 6, Psalm 105, 1 Corinthians 14)

Leviticus 5verses 1-6,7 and 7 verses 1-7 deal with the trespass offering. This offering was required for those who had dealt with the holy things deceitfully - whether to God, or to one's neighbour. The offering is referred to in several translations as the "guilt offering". Complete restitution had to made and a penalty was added because of the deception involved. A ram was the required offering. Achan's sin, spoken of in Joshua 7, was a trespass involving the nation of Israel. There were 7 categories of trespass against the LORD (see brother John Martin's book page 32); and there were 5 manner of sinning through trespassing against one's neighbour (ibid page 33). Leviticus 6:9-13 introduces the Burnt Offering, which spoke of wholehearted service to Yahweh. Additional details are provided in Leviticus 7verse 8. The Peace Offering is described in Leviticus 3 verses1-17, 7 verses 11-21, 28-34 and 22 verses 17-31). Some aspects for each of these offerings have been included in earlier posts. However, I can only give general comments here; and the readers can further their understanding by reading brother Martin's book ("The Schoolmaster' to bring us unto Christ. An exposition of the book of Leviticus"). Psalm 105 relates the mighty works of our Sovereign. In verses 1-6 the faithful are called on to praise and give thanks to the LORD in response for what He has done for them. The writer's words are directed to Israel - the offspring of Abraham. Verses 7-8 reflects on the mighty name their God had gained when bringing His people out of Egypt. In verse 8 the psalmist contemplates the loving kindness of God to a thousand generations spoken of to Moses at the declaration of Yahweh's character in Exodus 34. In verses 9-11 the Psalmist's thoughts go to the promises that the Almighty made to the patriarch Abraham. Verses 12-15 cover the sojourn of Abraham's family until the time of Israel's sojourning in Egypt. Abraham and Sarah are described as both anointed ones and prophets. The incidents referred to cover Abraham's first visit to Egypt and his dealings with the Philistines under king Abimelech. Verses 16-22 deal with the faithful Joseph sent to Egypt to preserve the patriarchy of Abraham. The verses show us how Joseph was a remarkable type of our Lord Jesus Christ. Verses 23-25 tell of Israel coming into Egypt; and are a summary of the last chapters of Genesis and the first couple from Exodus. Verses 26-36 describe the mission of Moses and the plagues sent on Egypt. Verses 37-43 describe Israel's deliverance from Egypt and Yahweh's awesome deeds on behalf of His people; and His providential care for His nation during their 40 years in the wilderness. Verse 44 speaks of Israel's inheritance of the Promised Land, in fulfilment of the LORD's promise to Abraham. The Psalm concludes with their Sovereign's objective in giving Israel the Land - "that they might keep His statutes and observe His laws. Hallelujah." (ESV). Yahweh will give the glorious kingdom to His faithful saints, that they may serve Him and subject the whole world to His ways. Pause and ponder what that means for you. In the first of Corinthians 14 the Apostle Paul urged the pursuit of love, rather than seeking the showy and much abused spiritual gifts. Ordered worship among believers is essential. His conclusions were - let everything be done decently and in order. In the first of Corinthians 14 the Apostle Paul urged the pursuit of love, rather than seeking the showy and much abused spiritual gifts. Ordered worship among believers is essential. His conclusion was - let everything be done decently and in order. Having established in chapter 13 that love is the greatest gift of all the Apostle encourages a wholehearted pursuit of love in the beginning of this chapter. Paul continues to compare its benefits to the spirit gifts of the Apostolic age and says that the ability to instruct in the Word of God is far greater than speaking in tongues - Greek 'glossa' which speaks of languages according to Strong's Concordance - not unknown tongues. For instruction in the Word is an exercise of growing in holiness: Hebrews 12 verses 11; Ephesians 4 verses 11-16. In verses 6-12 Paul tells his readers that just as music has chords with a distinct resonance so too must God's Word have a clear and distinctive discernible message. The same is true of the clarion blast of the bugle that calls people to war. Verses 13-19 repeats the message that hearers must understand the prayers that are said. There is no benefit in a prayer of words that lack meaning for the hearers. So the Apostle requests that prayer be for the edifying of the hearers and not simply that the one who prays is ecstatic and feels uplifted. In verses 20-25 Paul cites the prophets to show that the Father says that this is His objective in enlightening men and women. Verses 26-33 give instructions for orderly worship in ecclesial gatherings. He says that when the prophet speaks it is useless unless the interpreter can give understanding to the gathering. He also speaks against competing with one another and that the members must wait until their turn comes rather than rudely interrupting and trying to talk over one another. The time for silence is appropriate and according to our Father's revealed Word. For that matter the Apostle declares that sisters remain silent in formal ecclesial gatherings. This truth is repeated in 1 Timothy 2 verses11-15. Verses 36-39 tell us that such observance of the divine order is a reflection of spiritual mindedness as opposed to carnal self seeking.

Thoughts on the readings for February 28th (Leviticus 3, 4, Psalm 104, 1 Corinthians 12, 13)

Leviticus 3 and 4 outline laws firstly for the Peace Offering (chapter 3) and the Sin Offering (chapter 4). The importance of the Peace Offering is that it speaks of our aim - to have peace with God - see Isaiah 26 verses 1-3. And, like all Scripture, our Lord Jesus Christ is the focus - read aloud slowly and carefully Ephesians 2 verses 14-22 - ponder its meaning to you. Verses 1-5 of Leviticus 3 describe what was offered and how it was offered. Verses 6-7 tell us that the peace offering had to be without blemish. This is because it firstly spoke of our Lord; and secondly it tells of what we aspire to give to the LORD. And in Christ we are presented before the Father as being unblemished (Jude v24). Verses 8-17 provide further instructions for offering. Like the burnt offering the person making the offering had to lay his hands on the animal's head to identify with the offering. The fat represented energetic and wholehearted service to our Sovereign. So the Peace Offering speaks of fellowship with God. Although having fellowship with God and His Son is our highest need, redemption through the blood of Christ is our first need (Psalm 50:5; Ephesians 2:1-13, 1 John 1 verses 1-10). So Leviticus 4 tells us about the Sin Offering. This chapter is more than three times the length of chapter 3. Verses 1-12 tell us what was offered and how it was made. Verses 13-31 describe the various groups for whom the offering was made; verses 13-21 the whole of Israel. The identification with the offering was made by their elders; verses 22-26 tell of a ruler making this offering; verses 27-35 talk about individuals within the nation making the offering. It is noteworthy that for all three groups the forgiveness of sin is spoken of - verses 26, 31, 35. This forgiveness was temporary and unavailing unless the offerer had faith and understood the need of the provision of an offering that could cleans the conscience of guilt. This could only be done through the forgiveness of sins in our Lord Jesus Christ - see Hebrews 10:1-14. Psalm 104 is a psalm of thanksgiving to the LORD for His majestic power seen in His creation. Verse 24 of the song is perhaps the key to understanding its message. The AV says that the earth is full of God's "riches" (Hebrew "creation") and ESV "creatures". The Almighty's creation and His earth are totally awesome. And for these reasons the writer extols his Creator in verses 1-4. The psalmist calls upon all creation to join him in praise and worship of the Omnipotent One, who controls the world and its diverse creatures. His angels, who are mighty in power, are those who minister to the heirs of salvation as Hebrews 1 explains. The earth, its founding and mountains are described in verses 5-9. Some of creations habitats and provisioning are described in verses 10-18. Verses 19-20 talk of the providing of night and day as appointments from our Sovereign (Genesis 1 verses 14-19). The theme of the Psalm is expressed in verse 24. And this theme is magnificently captured by Hayden's "Creation Hymn" - to quote from the second half of the third stanza, "In reason's ear they all rejoice, and utter forth a glorious voice; for ever singing as they shine, the Hand that made us is Divine". Verses 25-26 speak of the teeming sea creatures. Verses 27-30 tell of the total dependence of every living thing on the sustaining Spirit of their Creator; not only in the temporary and transient present, but for the transformational power to feed them with food of eternal life. Verses 31-35 conclude the psalm with responsive praise and the confidence that the sinner will be rooted from the earth and the faithful will fill it with the Almighty's praise. From 1 Corinthians 12-14 Paul shows that the body of believers in Christ is analogous to the human body. In 1 Corinthians 12 the Apostle Paul describes how God through His Spirit had distributed gifts and roles within the ecclesia. Just as our bodily members have unique and distinctive functions so too is it within the ecclesia of Christ: compare Romans 12 verses 3-8. It is never a question as to what member is the most important; because the unseen and less showy members are the most vital to the body, ie the heart, the kidneys etc. Just as in Ephesians 4 verses 1-16. Paul demonstrates that, rather than the gift, it is the service - or function which the individual can contribute to the growth of the body into Christ its head. This chapter is an answer to all would be schismatics - the body of true believers in the one body of Christ. The Apostle finishes the chapter by telling his readers that the better way of service lay in three qualities, which were not the spirit gifts, but attributes available to all believers - FAITH, HOPE and LOVE. 1 Corinthians 13 reveals that the infantile aids of the spirit gifts would cease once their objective of establishing a mature community of believers had been completed. This is the basis of his magnificent treatise on love; showing it to be the greatest and only enduring gift. Hope will vanish when it is realised in God's Kingdom. Believing will have been completed in the receiving of immortality. What a wonderful experience awaits us when we will then know God as He now knows us. Only love goes on and never cease. Slowly read the chapter aloud. Ponder, pause and meditate its message for the way believers must live. This chapter in Paul's letter changes the Corinthians narrow self-focus to an elevation of their minds to living the truth as our Lord Jesus Christ our head directed both them and us: Ephesians 4:11-16.

When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)  Mat 24:15

 

But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: Mar 13:14

 

And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh. Luk 21:20

 

And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. Dan 9:27

 

And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days .Dan 12:11

 

Abomination – Heb - shiqqûts - detestable thing or idol, abominable thing, abomination, idol, detested thing

 

Desolate – Heb - shâmêm-  to be desolated, be deflowered, be deserted, be appalled

 

The desolater is the Little Horn of the Goat which in the days of Constantine transferred its residence & court to Constantinople from Rome

 

Rome was exclusive capital of the Little Horn of the Goat in the days of Jesus and the apostles

 

Rome then was the pagan Roman empire or the Dragon

 

But in subsequent divisions  of the Empire into the Greek and Latin territories Rome became in the days of Charlemagne the capitol of the little horn of Daniels 4th Beast, and not  the Little horn of the Goat which was identified in the East in Constantinople. Daniel 7

 

Before the little horn of the Goats empire was divided into subsequent countries from Rome he “magnified himself against the Prince of the host of Israel”

 

This he did by crucifying the Lord of glory and furthermore “by him the daily should be taken away” Daniel 8:11,i.e. the destruction of the temple and its associated sacrifices..

 

This was the first of a series of abominations  of desolation that overspread the holy land. It was signalised by the taking away of the Jewish state.

 

This was followed by a series of abominations of which the principal has been the,1. pagan Roman the 2. Greek Catholic & the 3. Mohammedan all of them constituents of the Little horn of the Goat.

 

The power of the this abomination continued as long as the people (national Israel)  of the Holy Ones were in a scattered state but then, that determined shall be poured out upon the desolater.

 

This scattering and desolation of the land was to continue for 1290 yrs. after which the desolater will be destroyed.

 

This commences i.e. the end of the 1290 yrs, at the drying up of the Euphrates, the Ottoman power  but that determined will  not finally reach its consummation until Gog, who becomes the Little horn of the Goat takes Constantinople and then Jerusalem.
