Vayikra
(leviticus) ch:1
Num
20:24
Aaron shall be gathered unto his people: for he shall not enter into the
land which I have given unto the children of Israel, because ye rebelled
(hrm
maw-raw') against my word at the water of
Meribah.
Num
27:13 And when thou
hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother
was gathered.
Num 27:14
For ye rebelled (hrm
maw-raw') against my commandment
in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the
water before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the
wilderness of Zin.
Dan.9:5 We have
sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled,
(drm
maw-rad') even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
Dan
9:9 To
the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we
have rebelled (drm
maw-rad') against him;
We have so far seen that rebellion is a temptation to all
of us, we all have the propensity to rebel……….
So
far in our study of drawing near through the Olah we have taken a close look at
idolatry……..
In
the following verse who or what is the idol that
these religious leaders are seeking to draw near to???
Joh
5:44 How
can ye believe, which receive honor one of another, and seek not the
honor that cometh from God only?
Is
it not SELF
We
have also seen that idolatry comes from within ourselves and that idolatry
ultimately leads to rebellion……
Remember
these verses were written to saved people………
Col
3:5 Mortify
therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication,
uncleanness, inordinate affection,
evil concupiscence,
and covetousness, which is
idolatry (KJV)
We have also begin to see that idolatry is alive and well in
the computer age and that it is the most subtle and dangerous sin……..
Is it any wonder that the second commandment is the longest
commandment of the TEN and even has its own commentary????
Exo
20:3 Thou
shalt have no other gods before me.
Exo
20:4 Thou
shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing
that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is
in the water under the earth:
Exo
20:5 Thou
shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am
a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the
third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Exo 20:6
And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my
commandments.
Lev
1:1 And the LORD called unto Moses,
and spoke
unto him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,

the difference between and calling and speaking??

A primitive root; perhaps properly to arrange
rbd
d= door, to enter, pathway
r= head of, first, person, highest
YHWH God
is arranging his words to Moshe in such a fashion that the household of
God will more fully comprehend in the Olah offering that the
highest One, Yeshua, has provided the pathway and door
for us to draw near. All this is a result of great sacrifice
by Yeshua!!
Gen 22:2 And he
said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get
thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering (hl[
o-law') upon one of the mountains which I
will tell thee of.
Joh
10:1 Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the

10:7 Then
said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the
sheep.
Joh
10:9 I
am the door: by me if any man
Joh
10:17 Therefore
doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
Joh
10:18 No
man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down,
and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my
Father.

What things do you place value on?
How
important is it to you to draw near
NTC
on
importance of drawing near
Mat
13:44 Again,
the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man
hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath,
and buyeth that field.
Mat
13:45 Again,
the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:
Mat
13:46 Who,
when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and
bought it.
Phi
3:7 But
what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
Phi
3:8 Yea
doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge
of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all
things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
Phi
3:9 And
be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but
that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by
faith:
Phi
3:10 That
I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the
fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
Phi
1:29 because for the Messiah's sake it has been granted to you not only to trust
in him but also to suffer on his behalf,
Again
how important is it to you to draw near??

The
highest One, Yeshua, knows the chaos within each of us, and offers us a special
strength, (that we desperately need), in the words he begins to
say to us concerning the olah korban…
NTC
on
our need of strength from the Ruach
Rom
8:13 For
if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do
mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Col
3:5 Mortify
therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness,
inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Now
lets begin to see why we need that special strength
Lev
1:2 Speak
unto the children of Israel,
and say unto them, If any man of you bring an offering unto the LORD, ye shall
bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd, and of the flock.
Who are the following very important instructions
for????
All the sons of Israel
Larf
yis-raw-ale' From H8280 and H410
Rev
21:7 He
that overcometh (prevails) shall inherit all
things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Rev 3:21
To him that overcometh (prevails)
will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame(prevailed),
and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Does this sound like Gods intent for the sons of Israel???
Rev 3:12
Him that overcometh (prevails)
will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I
will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which
is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I
will write upon him my new name.
Prevailing sounds more and more important
doesn’t it ????………..
Rev
3:5 He
that overcometh, (prevails) the same shall be
clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of
life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Rev
2:26 And
he that overcometh, (prevails) and keepeth my works
unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
Could
this concept of prevailing be a part of the mark toward which Rabbi Shaul was
pressing????………
Phi
3:14 I
press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Rev
2:17 He
that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him
that overcometh (prevails) will I give to eat of
the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name
written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Rev
2:11 He
that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that
overcometh (prevails) shall not be hurt of
the second death.
Where
in scripture do we find the verses about prevailing???……….
Surely
as important as this topic is, we can look back on our new covenant training and
firmly declare that “Yes, I have been well trained in scriptures teaching on
prevailing.”
Sadly
we cannot look at the Messianic movement and find out very much about the
subject either……..
Has
YHWH God for some unknown reason hidden the scriptural teachings on
prevailing…
Does
He have something against us???…..
Rev
2:7 He
that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him
that overcometh (prevails) will I give to eat of
the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
1Jo
2:13 I
write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that is from
the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have overcome
(prevailed) the
wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have known the Father.
How
could Yochannan (john) the beloved apostle write with such confidence to his
taught ones that they had such a commanding grip on prevailing that they already
had overcome the Wicked One???…..
Could
the past years of our lives when we spurned Torah have anything to do with our
obvious deficiency in this matter???…..
Could
our entanglement with idolatry and rebellion be hindering us from getting a grip
on a very critical scriptural principle???…..
Could
it be that hidden in the different Korban procedures for drawing near,the Olah,
the Mincah, the Chatat,
the Zevach Shelamim, the Asham,
lie the object lessons and shadow pictures we need to see in order to be prevailers
and thereby be true children of Israel???…….
Can
we begin to see that from earliest times the will of YHWH God has been for us,
the sons of Yisrael, to be overcomers!!!
Larf
yis-raw-ale' From H8280 and H410
More specifically we are to be the Almighty’s
overcomers.
In most people’s mind it might seem to be beyond a paradox,
even nonsensical, that we who are
beset with weakness, rebellion
and daily battle the idol of self are expected, yes even required
by the Almighty to not only draw near but also to overcome!!!!
Maybe the question in your mind might be the same as was in
Nicodemus’s mind, “How can these things be”?
THERE IS A WAY
