thank you for allowing me to be with you guys oh my goodness it's been a beautiful day and wow i just want to say toadaya for yeah for really really allowing us me to be in your presence to fellowship it's that time it's that time yeah yes i'm gonna pray all right yeah Oh. All right, we ready to rock and roll? All right, everyone see that little bit of blood on that mercy seat?
That's what we all asking for. I take it I'll just have to be using the thing today. No worries.
So I ain't got any worries. Yeah, yeah, that's it. That's the best I can. I can use that.
Hmm? I don't think so. All right. So we have part 30, right? Part 30 of understanding the whole book.
And in this closing of this series, I want to talk about the importance of the blood in the temple. Yes, this is wrapping this thing up. Really showing the principle behind it all. What does it, what is the point of all this stuff, right?
So what does it point to? What does the blood point to? What's the point of using the blood, right?
What does it replace? Why use blood? Like, anyone have any quick answers for those things?
Like why use blood? Does he have to use blood? Okay.
Oh, you want the mic? There's no forgiveness of sin without the shedding of blood. Okay, so he can't just forgive us? He can't just say, Father, I'm sorry? It's all good?
He needs to have blood for that? All right. So, you know, questions like that come around, though. You know, you have to understand that, you know, whatever way the Father has something set up, we now start questioning or challenging what he has set up. But we'll go over a little bit of that today.
and then we'll work on everyone's uh homework all right everyone knows the rules uh please keep your mic muted except when asking and answering a question use the mic to speak there is a feature in the room where you can raise your hand like they really use it if you have a question all questions must be on the topic you have 60 seconds to ask or answer a question if you pass your 60 second window your mic will be muted for you. These are due to time and the recordings of lessons. These are live teachings. We must give them more enough time to complete the lesson. All right, we'll go right into it.
So understanding the focus. So there's so much in atonement as the word's used in English. So I got a list of things in here. One is, anyone want to work it out in Hebrew there?
Chata, go ahead. Okay, so Chatat HaKippurim, right? Sin offering or atonement, you got those scriptures for it. Next one is, everyone should know this one, Kesef HaKippurim.
Next one is Yom HaKippurim. Next one is El HaKippurim. And this last one is par-cha-tat, right? Dealing with a bullock.
All right, so all these, you can find the scriptures for everything here. So my focus is not to start isolating each one. I really want to focus on a couple of things.
But one you think about here in Bamibar Numbers 5, I put, what can make you leprous? and what happens to you. In Bamibar Numbers Chapter 5, anyone familiar with that? In Bamibar Numbers 5, dealt with leprosy, right?
Remember Miriam, for an example, she had leprosy. Why did she get it? She contacted somebody and she got contaminated. Okay.
All right. So you know that there's a reason that you can get leprosy. natural leprosy. And then there's another way you can get leprosy, right? But we won't be talking about that today.
Other arguments you might have, which we'll talk a little bit about today. Well, I guess I'll ask now, but we will talk about it a little bit today. So the sin offering and things like that, the Mashiach, his blood is for what type of offering, what type of sin?
So all of them, even the ones that that is worthy of death, you say, hey, I can get that one, too. All sins that has to do with the blood. OK, anyone else?
Atonement. Atonement. OK.
Within atonement. Anything? OK.
All right. Can we say eternal life? I mean, his blood, you're saying will create eternal life if they will be obedient to it?
Yes. Okay. All right.
So I want us to just kind of think about it for, I know we probably hear it all the time. Oh, it's underneath the blood. It's the blood, the blood, the blood, the blood. Sin, sin, sin, sin.
But is there something that he wants us to see while we're throwing out all these terms? you know so this is what we're going to talk about today all right so my focus will be on atoning for the guilt that all of israel has done the need for mashiach and how he prepared the temple that is our bodies today okay so the giveaway is going to be is guilt offering right because there are other things you can do for sin but what about guilt someone you just guilty of right? So what is the point of using blood?
What does it represent? So Bereshit of Genesis 9, 5 says, and surely your blood of your lives will I require at the hand of every beast, and I require it and at the hand of man, and at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man, whose shed man's blood by man shall his blood be shed for in the image of Elohim. made he man. All right.
So if he's requiring, if you shed man's blood, why is he going to shed your blood? I'm talking about, you know, if you do a murder, I'm talking about killing, I'm talking about a murder. Some people, there's an accidental killing, right? But I'm specifically talking, right. So, but why, why this?
Why can't, you know, you shed innocent blood, but he tells you for what reason? You're in the image of Elohim, so you have to die because you want to shed. All right, so I guess this is, I know it's the first time we've read this, and I'm glad we're reading it together today.
All right, 1711. For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls, right? So blood makes atonement for... souls.
For the blood makes atonement for the soul. Shemot or Exodus 30, 12 says, when you take the sum of the children of Israel, Yasharal or Yisrael, after this number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto Yahuwah. When you number them, that there be no plague among them when you number them.
Why is that important? Yeah, a ransom for his soul. Okay, no problem. 30 verse 16 says, and you shall take the atonement money, the atonement money of the children of Yashar al-Israel, Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the tabernacle, the congregation, that it may be a memorial unto the children of Yashar al-Israel before Yahuwah to make an atonement for your souls. So.
Two forms of atonement for your souls. Why? So we see what they are, blood and money.
Why? Sleep on money? Again? Is it because there is a cost?
There is a cost for the atonement. And the only way to forgive sin is through blood. And there is a high cost for it. Okay. So there's a cost for it, sure.
Again, we're still trying to figure out this blood and cost. These two things go together. Why does Yah want these two things?
Because the blood is in the life. Right, life is in the blood. Got it. Okay, anyone else?
Man, I knew I heard Shirat somewhere. oh oh i was trying to find them myself oh i forgot what i said oh forgot no no worries i told you somewhere all right all right so let's look at something first so dom represents life and or death right so after the fall in the garden your life your commitment to him is in question. Okay. So blood or Dom lets us know the seriousness of being obedient. So all this animal sacrifice, remember we said it a number of times, technically it's supposed to be your blood.
You're the one that's messing up, but I'm just showing you the seriousness of Dom, of blood. It is very serious because you will lose your life. and in some cases losing your life you will gain your life it works both ways right so he's already set this up from the time of leaving the garden and we're going to read why because we start we we're going to read in a minute but we already know how is man's heart we said wicked everyone agrees all right so if this that wicked and he sees it then he's let you know, I have to set something in place because if not, I won't have no one on the planet.
Everybody's dying, right? But the hopes is that through these examples, that you will learn how to be obedient and then it's less killing. Because remember, he said, I don't really want sacrifices, right?
Okay, great. So that's the blood part. And of course, your life is at a cost.
or price, right? Now, why are these two forms important? No worries.
You probably see you've already answered it. Let's just do some reading. All right. First Corinthians 6, 19 says, what? Know you not that your body is the temple of the Chodesh rock or the set of our spirit, which is in you, which you have.
of Eloah and you are not your own? For you are bought with a price. Therefore, esteem Eloah in your body and in your ruach, in your spirit, which are Eloah's, right?
So the body is a temple for his ruach and it was bought with a price. There's a cost for this. All right. Yeshahu Isaiah 42, 44, 22 says, I have blotted out your transgressions.
like a cloud and your sins like mist, return to me for I have redeemed you. Acts 3.19 says, repent you therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out when the time of refreshing shall come from the presence of Yahuwah. All right, so this will not be the center of my topic. However, I wanted to point out the importance and relevance of knowing how these ideas are brought together. All points to the end goal for mankind.
All this shedding and there's something that's going to happen at the end. Whether you like it or not, whether you accept how he says he wants it or not, the end result is going to be how he said it. So I know sometimes you like to question why he's doing this.
And we get too smart for Elohim sometimes. But we got to realize that this is what he wants. And if we agree that he's the Elohim of the living and not of the dead, it doesn't really matter why you're worried about why he does something.
Your soul is still going to be... judged, if you will. All right. All right. So defining words for the lesson, right?
So we're going to need to do some defining here. So for atonement, you see a couple of things, right? Keper, Keporet, Koper, Kiporim, and the root of that word is Kafar.
That is the Shoresh, or the root, Kafar. All right, so in the English, the word atone or atonement means at one or making at one, right? English understanding is you're making yourself one with something.
You're trying to atone to make one. You're at one with... specifically one another, you're at one with Yah, atone.
Everyone good with that word? All right. The term is angliosaxon, a term expressing relationship. Atonement is tied closely to such terms as reconciliation and forgiveness. So if you're trying to get right with somebody, you want to reconcile with somebody, I'm not telling you go and get yourself a calf and cut yourself and all this other stuff.
I'm saying that you need to be at one with that person. get with that person, resolve the issues, be one, right? Atone, reconcile, things like that. All right, so in the first century BCE, the term kipurru is the d-stem.
D-stem just means it's a doubling of the word kipurru, which means to purify. The word zabach, which is translated as sacrifice in the scriptures, has a root meaning in the etymology dictionary, which is nourish, act for a higher purpose, okay? So the sacrifice the point of the sacrifice is to nourish something and what else and for a high there's a higher purpose there's there's something more behind these sacrifices you're just not literally sacrificing for nothing ah i did it uh where's that donkey at oh can't use donkey my bad let me let me get that cow give me that goat give me that lamb then i i fixed all the stuff i'm supposed to that's not what he's asking right all right Dom or blood the shedding of blood was the most important element in the expatiation of sin which we'll talk about in a minute.
So in Shemotah Exodus 24 6 this is a Moshe Moses took half of the Dom of the blood and put it on the base and half of the blood he sprinkled upon the altar and keep that word sprinkled understand this word sprinkle because we're gonna see that later on and he took the book of the covenant and read it in the audience of the people and they said all that Yahuwah has said we will do and be obedient. And Moshe, or Moses, took the blood and sprinkled it on the people. I'm asking why in just a minute. And he said, Behold, the blood of the covenant which Yahuwah has made with you concerning all these words.
Why sprinkle the blood on the people? He's on his way. Don't you worry.
he's gonna get his exercise in today i can understand okay why he sprinkled people because they are the ones that needed to be atoned at that time that they was the one who was sinning and the blood brought them back like back home okay all right all right you want to help out shalom um could it be um representing um i'm like the immersion a rebirth a rebirthing um with the sprinkling up the blood on the people okay so when it came through the yom su for the sea of reeds that was a form of the immersion part as it says in first corinthians chapter 10 1-4 but why take blood and sprinkle it on the people i just got some new garments on why would you want to put some blood on some new garments Was it to be, that was to be obedient. The sprinkling of the blood was, you know, them saying that, okay, we're going to be obedient. That was like a covenant per se, right?
Hold on, we got one in the room. Scripture says like a person says that their blood should be upon them. If the animal... Is the sacrifice and that blood should have been ours to sprinkle that blood upon them.
The father would look and see. It's just I'm guessing that the blood is the animal's blood is upon them. OK. Anyone else?
Yeah. To me, I think it's a contract between the Most High and the children of Israel. OK. So I want us to see.
Remember, this is this is a blood. Everyone agrees. to what's happening before this one was a contract made before Let's just go back.
Let's talk about did Noah make, did Noah do some shedding of blood and then all of a sudden there was something said? Everyone agrees? All right.
And then all of a sudden here goes Abraham. Abraham does something and cuts the animals in two parts and then he goes over to there and then there's a covenant made there. And they have a covenant here, right? Is everyone seeing the pattern?
I don't want to deviate from the pattern. The pattern is showing that, yes, there's a shedding of blood. for a covenant almost most covenants is for shedding of blood and the shedding of the blood is representing your life in that covenant you agree to that covenant agreement by your life by that blood everyone's good so far okay i'm not sure what you oh so are you saying I just want to get clarity for those that may not have asked the question.
So you're saying by the sprinkling of this blood upon the people, this is a witness of their blood agreeing with that blood, saying that we agree with this covenant, and so be it. It couldn't be upon you. So, for example, if it's your blood that's going to agree, you won't be alive when you get done. Right?
So I got to get a substitution in here, put it on you, so you can see. that that blood in your blood is one to this covenant. So at the end of the day, if you violate that, then there's death that comes to you like that animal's blood had death, right?
So you're one, you're representing like that blood is technically your blood, right? No difference in let's say when you make a covenant, I'm sorry, I won't be too graphic or anything like that. But when you get married, because this is a marriage, right? So normally you're married and we were back in the day, you know, and we really loved each other. We were keeping law, statutes and commandments.
At any rate, the two come together. Then there's one's a virgin comes together. There's blood representing a covenant made.
Right. And one's with me so far. And if someone lied, you know, they take that sheet out. So hold on, chief. It's true.
Right. So my point is, this is what we need to understand, that blood is really, really instrumental in this covenant. All right, because people have a problem with, you know, can someone else do this?
We'll talk a little bit about this in just a minute. Hebrews 19, 9, 19 says, for when Moshe or Moses had spoken every precept to all the people, according to the law, he took the blood of the calf and the goats with water and scarlet and wool and hyssop and spring up both the book and all the people. Why put it on the book?
Yeah, it's a witness, sure. I want you to see how this blood is everything, the book, the blood, the instruments that are cut, that are most set apart, all of this stuff is covered with blood. All right, so anyway, Scarlet Hyssop sprinkled blood in the book and all the people, saying, this is the blood of the testament, or we know as the covenant, which Allah has enjoined unto you. Moreover, he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle and the vessels of the ministry. And also things are by the law purged with blood and without shedding of blood is no remission of sin, right?
So we're seeing that Yah is using blood as his tool for this reconciliation, this covenant, these agreements. That is his way. That is not man's way.
He didn't come with it late. That is his way. And by doing that, hopefully when you see the blood, you should understand that, hey, I don't want to die. Remember, we went through these examples, so I won't revisit those examples, but we'll keep going here. All right.
Defining words for the lesson continues. So next one is appreciation. Appreciation really means, it's the Greek word there, is hysterion, to pardon.
to be merciful, and the literal definition in the Brit Kadashah is mercy seat. Literally, it means mercy seat. And we'll see those two examples.
There's only two examples in the Brit Kadashah anyway. It means for forgiveness. All right, so Romans 3.25 is the first place.
And it says, propitiation by his blood to be received by faith. This was to show Eloah's righteousness because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. Okay, so all right, they're covered.
Then you read Hebrews 2, 17, therefore he had to be made like his brother in every respect so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of the law to make propitiation for the sins of the people. All right, so just with these two here, what do you get out of it? just these two. So we see, for example, I'm going to give you another rendering of Romans in just a minute, but I want you to see something here, because if the Levites did this, and they're saying, in Hebrews, what do you get out of the same thing the Hebrews are doing, or the Levites were doing, if you will, the Levitical priesthood was doing in the Tanakh, in the book of Hebrews, it tells us something that he's mirroring, right? So when he says, therefore, he has made like his brother in every respect so that he might become merciful and a faithful high priest so that he may come.
So remember, who's that? Who's that? Who?
Who? Oh, my bad. Are we talking about Yahushua? Right. Right.
The merciful and faithful. He was giving up himself. for like a right so this is talking about mashiach for sure but what i'm getting at though is notice that um this image that was happening on the earth is something that's pointing towards something in the future remember uh uh moshe or moses makes these these patterns from he's given a pattern right to make the the tabernacle and things like that these are all patterns and shadows of things to come So if you can understand what's happening, then he's saying, prepare yourself, because at some point I'm coming after you, good or bad.
OK. All right. So one John 2 says he is the appreciation for our sins and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
One John 4 says, and this is love, not that we have loved the Lord, but that he loved us and sent his son. to be the appreciation for our sins. All right. So I want us to, if you put this together, I want you to see that these things is actually him becoming the mercy seat.
Okay. That's what I really want you guys to pick up fast. Okay. If not, we'll talk about when I come back next year.
All right. So this blood is to be received in Gregorian time. This blood is to be received by faith, a forbearance over former sins, to become a faithful high priest, to make appreciation for our sins. The blood of his son represents the appreciation for the world and to show love to those that are his. Okay, so because as we read later on, you know, about the Gentiles and the whole world, because some people may believe that no one else has hope, it's just Israel.
and everyone else is just doomed. I don't care what you are. If you're not Israel, you're dead, right?
All right. So, yeah. Now, expiation is the Hebrew word kepura, has to do with the blotting out of sin.
And hence, the term is related to such words as forgive, purge, cleanse, or atone, right? So, it is. when you're just tracing these words back to the Hebrew, you're going to see it comes from that root word kafar. Okay, kafar is the root of this.
All right, so a parable view of Weikra or Leviticus. So this is dealing with the scapegoat, right? So I'm going to give, and again, these are just principles that I'm going over right now. It says, and he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel or Yasharal.
two kids of a goat for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering. And Aharon Aaron shall offer his bullock of a sin offering, which is for himself and make atonement for himself and for his house. And he shall take the two goats and present them before Yahuwah at the door and the tabernacle of the congregation. And Aharon Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats, one lot for Yahuwah and the other lot. for the scapegoat Azazel.
and when he has made an end of reconciling the hodosh place or set apart place and the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar he shall bring the live goat and aharon or aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of israel and all their transgressions in all their sins putting them upon the head of the goat and shall send him away by the hand of the fit man into the wilderness. And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities until land not inhabited, and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness. All right, so now, when you look at this here first, what can you get out of this, other than we read the story, and you don't have to repeat what we read, just what'd you get out of it? Sikha Mori, setting free of sins. Sikha?
When I get out of it, the animal is taking the sins on itself and setting free of sins upon the animal. The animal is let loose into the wilderness, which means the animal is free. He's taking the sins upon himself.
Okay. I know. He's not paying attention.
I know it. He did, she did. When you were rubbing your eyes.
Yeah, you might want to sit closer. I'm looking at it, it's like the two goats. You got one that is repenting for our sins and one as a covering for our sins.
So that, um, I lost my thought, but... It's still the same. He's still shedding blood for us through animals so that at the end time, so that we will be covered with the state. He like he flashed it like he when he was on and he anointed where he put the blood on the people at the mountain to purify them.
But it was our it was a reconciliation that he's no longer going to remember. he's going to remember your sins but if you repent of your sin in this case he let you um the priest sent one out for us that was to save us okay all right she was pulling it wouldn't she let me let me think about this yeah all right so we're going to answer i'll answer that question just a minute i just wanted to see where you guys thoughts are I just wanted to know why, because it says one God was for Yehua. I just wanted to understand why one God was for Yehua.
Oh, yeah, we'll go over. Yeah, we'll go over in just a minute. I just want to hear what everyone's thoughts, since everyone reads it every year, I figured they might have had an answer. But if not, I figured we'll go over it anyway. So no worries.
We're definitely going to answer that. All right, so the picture of the escape goat. It says, he shall take two goats and present them before Yahuwah at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And then eight, says, and Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats, one lot for Yahuwah, the other lot for the escape goat.
Dead Sea Scrolls says, this is the sin offering for the assembly, wherewith he shall atone for all the people assembled, and they shall be forgiven. Then he shall wash the blood of the sin offering from his hands and feet and approach the living goat. He is to confess over its head all the iniquities of the children of Yasharallah, Israel, as well as all their guilt and sins, thus putting them upon the goat's head. Then he shall send him away.
to Azazel in the wilderness, led by a man prepared for the moments. I mean, he had to get his weight up. Okay.
All right. So the goat shall carry away all the iniquities. Thus shall the high priest atone for all the children of Yisrael, and they shall be forgiven.
And of course, John 129 says, the next day, Jehukkanan or John sees Yahushua coming unto him and saying, behold, the lamb of Eloah, which takes away. the sins of the world. Now, just in this here, I wanted you guys to kind of think about the first lamb that's slaughtered on behalf... of Israel, if you will, to Yahuwah.
And the other one takes on all the sins and is sent out, right? So I wanted you to see this as a picture of the escape goal as a picture of the Mashiach. So we'll see that in a minute, because you remember, was he taken out to the wilderness somewhere and tested and things like that?
All right. And then the other one, his blood, which we'll read in a minute, is being presented to the Father as well. When we start looking at this here, we think, okay, well, they had two animals in Meshach.
Just one. That's not what this is about. The principle of it, our picture is basically is with an animal, you can do as many animals as you can to make this thing happen. With a person, you're that person. That is it.
Let me kill you for this one. I'm going to kill you for that one. And then what happens to that person?
That soul is going to happen. But with an animal, it's a little bit different. So we'll see how that works in just a minute. There is a close connection of atone or make an atonement in the mercy seat, Leviticus 16, 11-19, where Aaron is to sprinkle blood on the mercy seat in order to make atonement for himself and for his household, as well as for the sons of Yisrael or Yasharoth.
This atoning is also said to be for the Kedosh Pei, so set apart place. for the tent of meetings and for the altar through the ladder made outside and of course the kodesh ha kadoshim is the most set apart place we'll see that in a little bit so right now this escape god i want you guys to picture this as a if you see what they do and you see what the mashiach does for us see how he's fulfilling this picture okay All right, so 1 Enoch 47, I just want to add a little something here. It says, In those days, the prayers of the righteous ascended into Shemaim, or heaven, and Hadam, the blood of righteous from the earth before Yehudah's spirits. There shall be days when all the chadush, or the most set-apart ones, who dwell in the heavens above, shall dwell together in the earth. And with one voice, they shall supplicate and pray, esteem, praising and blessing the name of Yahuwah of spirits on behalf of the blood of the righteous ones, which has been shed.
Their prayers shall not stop from exhaustion before Yahuwah of the spirits, neither will they relax forever until the judgment is executed for them. So I say, have you guys ever read something like that before? hmm souls under the altar okay so when you look at uh revelations three and four it says and another malak came and stood at the altar having the golden censer and having were given unto him many incense and they shall offer up with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne and the smoke and the incense which came with the prayers of the saints ascending before allah out of the malakim's hand right remember you keep reading about he says you know how long will you you know okay great so keep going verse three says in those days i saw him the antecedent of time while he was sitting upon the throne of his esteem of khabog and the books of the living ones were open before him and all his power and shamayim or in heaven above and his escort stood before him the hearts of the kadosh or the part ones are filled with joy Because the number of the righteous has been offered, the prayers of the righteous ones have been heard, and the blood of the righteous has been emitted before you of the Spirit. This is the conclusion of what's going to happen according to Revelations. Okay, keep this in mind.
All right, in Antioch 48, 5 says, All those who dwell upon the earth shall fall and worship before him. They shall esteem, brook, and shear, or sing the name of Yahuwah's Spirit. For this purpose, he became the chosen one.
He was concealed in the presence of Yahuwah's Spirit prior to the creation of the world and for eternity. And he has revealed this wisdom of Yahuwah's Spirit to the righteous and to the Kaddush, for he has preserved the portion of the righteous because they have hated and despised this world's oppression, together with all its ways of life and its habits, in the name of your spirits, and because they will be saved in his name and his good pleasure that they have life. So we believe that this is Yahushua the Mashiach, right? And we know that, you know, again, one Enoch, you know, there's older writings of one Enoch, but that'd be another topic. Okay, the Testament of Benjamin, of Benjamin, it says, now my children love Yehualua of heaven and earth.
Keep his commandments. Pattern your life after the good and pious man Yosef or Joseph. Through you will, verse 8 says, through you will be fulfilled the heavenly prophecy concerning the Lamb of Eloah, the Savior of the world, because the unspotted one will be betrayed by lawless men, and the sinless one will die from impious men by the blood of the covenant for the salvation of Gentiles and of Israel, and the destruction of Belial and his servants. In you will be fulfilled the heavenly prophecy, which says that the spotless one will be defiled by lawless men, and the sinless ones will die for the sake of impious men.
Now, I want us to think going forward, why is blood being shed, right? When we think about Hamashiach, are we seeing him as a human sacrifice? Is that how we view him as a human sacrifice? Come on. No, he's a father's sacrifice.
Okay. Anyone else? No one wants to answer this question because they think it's a right or wrong answer thing, huh?
Absolutely. i think it's um because uh he's a sacrifice for us make it into the kingdom so can you sacrifice for me no i cannot only he can okay if so are your views trying to align it like an animal sacrifice because when we start trying to compare the way we compare sometimes is we're comparing how the animal did something to how Mashiach did it. Most people do that, right?
Okay, because they say, oh, if it's a female lamb, it should be a female that does this. If it's a male lamb, it should be a male. We start going down some of those rabbit holes, right? Oh, yeah. But we'll keep going.
Let me see. Compare these thoughts to all the prophets. anointed ones that lay their life down for yahuwah did yahushua lay his life down for his people okay um do we all lay our life down for yahuwah okay all the parallels of sacrifice points to one purpose when you understand the shedding of blood of the animal you will understand his purpose remember sacrifices are only types shadow patterns for something else okay someone has a question first okay more daoud has a question yes so to answer your original question he can be seen as a human sacrifice also in the light of being a martyr for a greater cause okay so the reason why i ask these questions because you just like the prophets that were killed, you know, doing the father's work.
Same thing the Mashiach is doing the father's work. He's not saying he's coming down. I want to be on the altar.
Lay me there and kill me like an animal. That's not what he's saying he's coming to do. He knows that what will happen is going to cause a death, but I'm willing to stand up for righteousness all the way to the end. So the sacrifice, if you will, is yes, he sacrificed himself to do the Father's will all the way to death.
There might be a time where we have to do the same thing. We have to do something that is either that or take the mark or do this or do that. Whatever it is you might have to do. You say, you know, I'd rather die. You know, it's against the Father's law.
I'd rather die in righteousness than do this here and sell my soul. All right. Is everyone good so far?
So I'm just trying to think out of the box just a little bit, just to say, you know, if you, you know, like... I guess I'll say in Christendom, it was looked at as a human sacrifice, right? He's just, he's a sacrifice versus walking out his whole life.
When you walk out his life throughout the whole, from Matthews to John, notice what did he do? All he did was the father's will. That's it.
His quotes from the Torah, from the Tanakh, right? Those are his quotes. Did they like it because he is going against the government?
of his day. So now they're looking to kill him. And he's like, hey, I'm going to lay my life down. But in me laying my life down, something's going to take place for everybody else.
Is everyone good so far? All right. And so I think one boy wrote really fast. So she was asking about the goat. Remember, this goat is the blood is the representation up to the father, the first goat.
So when you lay this goat down and his blood is for remission of sins, for the shedding, there has to be a shed for the remission of sin. So that's why this particular goat had to die. The second one is a picture of it being taken away. So it's being removed from all of Israel, all that that was even among Israel.
It removed all the sins. So there was two pictures that was going on for these two goats. I was reading today in.
book of your hookanon where it actually where the high priest made a statement that is it better for one man dive than we lose our nation and it was it's it's like the book of john and um it was um like he had um he prophesied it looked like it was a prophecy what was going to happen and um i look at it what he did, he did do it. My question is, he said for the nation, N-A-T-I-O-N, but it also said in what I was reading, and for those who were scattered throughout the world. So you said, what was your question?
I didn't have a question. Oh, you said my question, so I. I did.
Yeah, okay, okay. No problem. Hallelujah. All right.
So in the book of Hebrews, okay, the book of Abri says, and over it was the cherubim, or the cherubim, kind of called the cherubims or cherubims, of esteem, shadowing the mercy seat. This is the other place where the word mercy seat is. So the other ones in Romans chapter 3, verse 25, this is the second place that is mentioned.
There is no other place that is mentioned like this, okay, just in those two places in the canon. of which we cannot now speak particularly. It says, Now when these things were thus ordained, the priest went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of Elohim, but into the second went the high priest alone, once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the heirs of the people. And the Chodesh Ruach, this signifying that the way into the harush harushim of all was not yet made manifest while as the first tabernacle was yet standing which was a figure for the time then present in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices that could not make him that did the service perfect as pertaining to the consciousness now what does that mean there so that uh this the latter part here so they we know every year doing yom kippur they're going in to do this once a year for the young kapoor right but my point is but it says but it the service but didn't make them perfect what do you mean it didn't make them perfect no one knows okay no could it be that when he went in he didn't sprinkle the blood on the the mercy seat well i mean the so right here it's talking about specifically the priest so the priest uh will come in but it didn't make them perfect meaning the priests were not perfect meaning they had to do this every year they there was the sins they had to do sins for themselves and for the people every year and let you know that when they did it that year it might have cleansed them on that day but next year they got to do it again all right versus mashiach saying i'm doing it this one time and then he have to he didn't have to do it again but this is his life that he did this, right? So at some point, everyone must die, right?
All right, but 10 says, which stood only in meats and drinks and diverse washings and carnal ordinance imposed on them until the time of reformation. But Mashiach being come a high priest of good things to come by a greater and more perfect tabernacle. So I want you to see they're comparing two tabernacles.
earthly tabernacle that was made by hands and this one here not made by hands right so it says a greater more perfect tabernacle not made with hands that is to say not of this building so the comparison now is the tabernacle there's one tabernacle that's a building that they got to go in every year and do some slaughtering and do all this stuff and they don't even make them perfect then there's going to come a time where there's another one that's going to take place like When he did his, did it make him perfect? When you die, you do righteousness, and then you get this new tabernacle or this new body, you become what? Uh-oh. No one is understanding? You become a new creation.
You become like him. Correct? Right.
So in other words, he becomes a high priest, right? He's not the high priest that you're talking about on this earth. As you read earlier in the book of Hebrews, it says, because there's already a high priest on this earth. And in the tab, he said, I'm not talking about that.
I'm talking about a different type, right? And in this type, it's going to make you perfect. So he's the example. He becomes the high priest of the example of that particular tabernacle.
Later on, you'll notice that we still have to put on righteousness as well. So this tabernacle, meaning this body is a tabernacle, is going to be perfect at some point, all right? And he's the high priest of that particular tabernacle or temple, if you will. Is everyone okay so far?
All right, so then it says in verse 12, neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, he entered into once into the... Makom Kaddash. Okay, Akadosh technically.
It says, meaning the most set apart place or set apart place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats and the ashes of an heifer sprinkled unclean, sanctify to the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Mashiach, who through the eternal... Spirit offered himself without spot of Lord purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living Elohim So he said now was one of happening this purging that supposed to be first taking place inside of us We are now saying that if we're supposed to walk like a clean temple If you will with the father spirit meaning the spirit was in the in the Ark of the Covenant and the physical temple now Meaning the presence was there now the presence is supposed to be where?
within you. So there's a comparison of that tabernacle to the tabernacle of your body. Remember, we did that some years ago, right?
If not, I think it's on YouTube. You had a question on YouTube. So is this why we will be a nation of priests?
Yep. Absolutely. Doe, you had a question?
Yes. And Matiyahu chapter 27 and verse 25. Is this why the priests, when they was getting ready to put the Mashiach to death, said, you know, let the blood be on our hands and our head and our children, because they had an understanding, but it's kind of like they was mocking it. I don't know if they were mocking it, but yeah, it go along the same lines. And for this cause, he is the mediator of the new covenant or New Testament, if you will, that by means of death.
for the redemption of the transgression that were under the first covenant or testament they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance for where the testament is the must also a necessity be the death of a testator for a testament is of force after men are dead otherwise it is so no strength at all while the testator lives whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood For when Musa Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law he took the blood of the calf and the goats with water and scarlet and wool and hyssop and sprinkled both the book and all the people saying this is the blood of the testament or the covenant which allah has enjoined unto you where did we read that before okay great remember shemote 24 6 through 8 we read it earlier So good. So then it says, moreover, he sprinkled with blood, both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry, and almost all things are by the law purged with blood and without shedding of blood is no remission. All right. So here's our summary so far.
The function of the scapegoat in the Torah sacrifice was a picture of Yahushua being... the escape boat, meaning I'm sharing with you guys a picture. Both were led to the desert and was crucified bearing the sins of the people.
The Torah shows two goats, one bearing the sins and the other sacrificed to Yahuwah. Both are before the presence of Yahuwah. The atoning sacrifice of Mashiach on the stake for our sin, Yahushua entered. heaven to present his blood before allah thus making us clean and acceptable through faith in the blood of yahushua all right so two types or categories of sacrifices i saw there are many types of sacrifices we talked about earlier found in the torah however there are two categories of sacrifices in there so within all of those one is either with the exploratory exploratory or the appreciatory sacrifice dealing with sin and or guilt. The second one is a type of sacrifice are the ones that represent acts of total commitment that had to accompany a person's repentance.
They were necessary if a person wanted to rejoin the fellowship of the community sacrifices under this category are the burnt offerings and the grains the drinks to fellowship the sacrifices others are wave offering free offerings in relation to sacrifices shalom all the good stuff right so they're going to fall into these two All right, so here's a little bit, I said we'll look at really quick concerning man's heart. And Yahuwah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Okay, and then 821 says, and Yahuwah smelled a sweet savor, and Yahuwah said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground anymore for man's sake. For the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth. Neither will I again smite anymore everything living as I have done.
Yirmiyahu at Jeremiah 17, 9 and 10 says, The heart is deceitful above all the desperately wicked. Who can know it? I, who asserts the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways. and according to the fruit of his doing all right so we we know now i'm gonna ask you guys a question you guys can be on you guys got some evil hearts oh yeah don't do that yep no oh yeah purified it was good so someone rubbed you the wrong way you all you saw is love step on my toe again hit me one more time it don't matter because i love you that's how we did that yet working i'm still All right. So while you're in this particular flesh, it's always subjected to his law.
Right. It needs instructions when things go wrong. When you lose your mind, something needs to come to mind.
That's why I tell you, may pause. Hey, give me a minute. It's twenty four.
Forty eight. Seventy two hours. I wouldn't go to I wouldn't go a whole year. You're going to have a problem there. but the point is that you know that's how we when something happens someone does something to us or family members or friends or brothers or ye shall however it is you get a certain way oh yeah right okay because i know somebody said no no no my heart's not that's not me my heart's not deceitful or evil okay oh yeah it's a whole different animal something happens to you all right so for Since the beginning of the world, men was not heard nor perceived by the ear.
Neither has the eye seen, O Elohim, besides you. what he has prepared for him that waits for him you meet him that rejoices and works righteousness those that remember you in your ways behold you are wrong for we have sinned in those in continuance and we shall be saved but we are all as an unclean thing and all our righteousness are as filthy rags or baguettes, so it's filthy garments. And we all do fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
Okay, so just know your place. All right. At the end of the day, you know, we are striving to become better and better.
And the only way we can do that is his word. His word tells us how to operate with one another. And then once we read about it, then there's the application to it. So once I read it, are you telling me if I need to do it too? Not just to hear, but I need to do it?
And that doing part sometimes hurt, right? Depending on who it is, okay? If you like that person, you know, you might brush over it. But if you don't like them, oh yeah, send them an email. All right, let's keep going.
All right, so man fell in Adam through disobedience. After the fall of Adam, every inclination in the heart of man is wicked and evil, okay? so it starts to go down that road and we have to you know constantly cleanse ourselves and we learn and grow and make mistakes and things like that all right all right so remember we went over this i want to show you guys in romans in the net bible it has on here allah uh publicly displayed him as his death as as the mercy okay accessible through faith This was to demonstrate his righteousness, because the law in his forbearance have passed over the sins previously committed.
Strange, right? So the Net Bible sees it as it was literally translated from the Greek, put on there to show that now we're starting to see that this new creating tabernacle and his new creation of the temple is something that he was talking about all along was about our bodies. OK. And ultimately, we're going to see, we talked about that when this whole earth becomes his, because he's the ruler of the whole earth, not just that little small piece that you read about, that that center hub, that where his people is, you're going to notice something's going to take place there. All right.
And then, of course, we already read Hebrews 9.5, which is about the mercy seat, shall we mercy seat. So the question is, this term is only in these two places. in the brief kadashah why is this important is it possible that yahushua is linked to two events in other words these two events that you read about um and i'm saying why is it important and is it possible they're linked to two events what two events would they be linked to and i can get some water to the note i'm gonna be flooded with no answers all right all right you know all right we'll keep going let's just read yes right love vegas 25 13. in the year of release even the you ball of it shall each one return to his possession i am yahoo i need yahoo your elohim you shall not make to yourselves oh he made with hands or graven, neither shall you rear up a pillar for yourselves, neither shall you set up a stone for an object in your land to worship it.
I am Yahuwah your Elohim. You shall keep Shabtoti, or my Shabbat, and reverence my sanctuary. I am Yahuwah.
If you will walk in my ordinance and keep my commandments and do them, before I go to the next slide, this should say, hey, I think I know what those two events are. What are they? Okay, I might need some more water. So think about this here.
If Mashiach is viewed, let's say from the next Bible's version here, the mercy seat, when do the priests go into the mercy, into where the mercy seat is? Yom Kippur. Okay, that's one event. And then we read about the day of release. When is that day?
Jubilee is also in the time of Yom Kippur. Okay. I thought we were doing lessons on the feast days.
All right, we'll go. Something is just not... All right. Nine says, in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall make a proclamation with the sound of the shofar, the trumpet, and all your land on the day of atonement.
Yom HaKippurim. You shall make a proclamation with the trumpets and all your land. Okay, that's... 25 9 26 9 and i will look upon you and increase you and multiply you and establish my covenant with you and you shall eat that which is old and very old and bring forth the old to make way for the new and i will set my tabernacle among you and my soul shall not abhor you now notice here two events is jubilees a time of setting free is also in the time of Yom Kippur, right? Day of atonement.
So is it possible that Mashiach's pattern here is that there's a day that all of Israel will be atoned for and set free, and that this is done by way, and then when I say set free, they're going back to who they belong to. That's the whole point of Jubilee. So they go back to who they belong to, and if he has a land that he set up for this, for his people, and we've been saying throughout the series about this land turning into a temple or a tabernacle place, right?
And his presence comes down onto that area that now comes this tabernacle that was patterned before. Now it starts to come manifest in these last days. Does that make sense to everybody?
No? Okay. Hallelujah. I'm almost done.
Don't you worry. Canaan will be up here next week. Mashiach is now the place where Elohim's penal wrath is poured out for his people who deserve the condemnation. What was done in the old temple in the secrecy of the Kadosh HaKadoshim is now displayed publicly. Part of it, the core of the temple, The Keporet, or the mercy seat of the Ark, is identified with Yahushua now.
Remember, we're talking about the mercy seat. Portrayed as the beginning of the new temple, there's a nuance of Mashiach as the atonement, which consecrates the new temple. Okay, is everyone with me so far?
I'm almost there, don't you worry. Romans 5, 9 says, since therefore, we have now been justified by his blood. Much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of Elua. Now, the reason why I put that there is because what was the whole point of Yom Kippur? They all outside waiting, right?
Oh man, I hope that priest can come out because when he comes out, what does that mean? Everything is forgiven. So they're all waiting.
If it's not forgiven, we're in trouble, right? So the same principle is happening here. They said, hey, that by doing this, him being there on our behalf and the blood, his blood shed on the Kippur, if you will, or him being that, that now we wind up saying we can be saved from the wrath of Elua.
First Thessalonians 1.10 says, And wait for his son from Shemaimah from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Yahushua, who delivers us from the wrath to come. Okay. All right.
So why was Yahushua delivered up? Finding the link. All right. So Net Bible here, Romans 4.24 says, but also for our sake, to whom it will be credited, those who believe in the one who raised Yahushua, our Adon, from the dead, he was given over because of our transgressions and was raised for the sake of Our justification, right?
All right. So the phrase was delivered over because of our transgression alludes to an Septuagint 53.12, where it says, therefore he shall inherit many, and he shall divide the spoils of the mighty, because his soul was delivered to death, and he was numbered among the transgressors, and he bore the sins of many, and was delivered because of their iniquities. All right, so this speaks of the end-time servant. Who will suffer the punishment that Yisrael or Yisrael, Israel deserved in order to be delivered, right?
So you see the pattern here so far, right? 5310 says, yet it was the will of Yehud to bruise or to crush him, depending on your translation, he has put him to grief when his soul makes an offering for guilt. The word there is a sign was we'll read about in just a minute.
He shall see his offspring, and then in the Hebrew there, do you want to check a stab at it? Okay, so we'll start where it says im. If normally means if, but in this category it's saying when.
So im tassim asam nafsho yireh, and then zir. Yeah, si, zirah, zirah, but the point is, and it's translated here as offspring, but if you look at this here, just translate this here, just straight translation would be what? So we say when, and it says he will make, or he will put, and then it says asam nafsho, in other words, he will make, and it says for his soul, guilt, or a guilt offering, and then an, yir, e, And he will see Zerah.
He will see seed or offspring. From what he's about to do, he will see seed. It will begin to actually sprout or create offspring of righteousness, if you will.
Okay? So now, right. So when you think about this guilt, that's why I wanted to home in on the word guilt.
Specifically guilt. So if you're saying all sins. Okay? Okay, no problem.
But if you sin unintentionally or, you know, okay, I fell short. And once I learned and I changed, fine. But what about those things that you did willingly? How does that work for you? You're guilty of something that you've done willingly.
How does that work? There's unintentional and there's tensional. My question to you is in the tensional sins, how does that work for you?
All right. So we'll just keep reading. No problems with that. Keep prolonging your days and it will prosper in his hand. Hallelujah.
All right. You got a question, Doze? Yes, Murray. Would that also tie in with this omission and commission of sins, the guilt part? Like dealing with what you just said, you know, things you do intentionally, then there's things that you do that, you know, you're unaware of.
Right. Okay, thank you. All right.
So Leviticus 5.1, dealing with a guilt offering. So it says, and if a soul sin and hear the voice of swearing and is a witness, whether he has seen or known of it, if he do not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity. What does that mean?
okay let me just read because i might have went too fast somebody sins and then you know about it and they call you to testify but you don't want to say nothing now it's going to be on you okay you see it okay great verse four so or if a soul swear pronouncing with his lips to do evil or to do good whatsoever is to be that a man shall pronounce with an oath and it be hid from him And when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty. He shall be guilty in one of these. And it shall be when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he has sinned in that thing.
And he shall bring his trespass offering, the Asam, the trespass offering or the guilt offering, unto Yahuwah for his sin, which he has sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goat. for a sin offering or a guilt offering and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin all right one leviticus 1 3 and 4 says if his offering be a burnt sacrifice of the herd let him offer a male without blemish he shall offer it with his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before yahuwah and he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering And it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him. Verse 10 says, and if offering be the flock, namely of the sheep or the goats for a burnt sacrifice, he shall bring it a male without blemish. 6.5 says, and six, or all that about which he has sworn falsely, he shall even restore it in the principle and shall add the fifth part more thereto and give it unto him to whom it pertains.
in the day of his trespassing or his asam, his guilt offering, and he shall bring his asam or his trespass or guilt offering unto Yahuwah, a ram without blemish out of the flock with the estimation of his trespass offering unto the priest. Now this one here is with a ram, right? Keep in mind the estimation for a trespass offering.
a psalm unto the priest, and the priest shall make an atonement for him before Yahuwah, and it shall be forgiven him for anything of all that he has done in the trespassing therein. Now, the word there for ram, and this word here, it's ayil, okay, ayil, okay, and the noun usage means leader, a person who rules or guides or inspires others. Or ram, an uncastrated adult male sheep that was considered clean for food and had horns related to the entity of the sheep. You know, so I'm only adding this portion here to definitions to say when we get into these sacrifices, if I want to show that, hey, the ram is the male one there, it's a male.
But it's really not about the male female other than what it's for. OK. All right, so we're almost there now. Isaiah 53, the servant.
So the word asam can also be translated merely as guilt, and in context it refers almost without exception to guilt that leads to judgment. Okay, so this is why the mashiach is necessary for this particular offering, this guilt offering. All right, so there's scriptures for that that you can read on your own. The verbal form of it, you can read that on your own. These uses also entails that the guilt offering averts some form of judgment.
Is this what the Mishat came to do? This is the guilt offering. This is why it's specifically talking about the thing that's supposed to happen in the Kadosh Kadoshim. All right, so the servant appears to be interpreted as the guilt offering to avert wrath coming on Israel. sinful guilt to which the guilt offering in Waikara or Leviticus and B'mitbar are numbers pointed.
All right, so if we compare Yeshayahu Isaiah 53 with the letter to the Romans, where we read before, so well, we'll read it again really quick. Aloha publicly displayed him at his death as the mercy seat, accessible through faith. This was to demonstrate his righteousness because his forbearance had passed over the sins previous committed. 425 says, he was given over because of our transgressions and was raised for the sake of our justification. Now compare that with Isaiah 53, verse 4 and verse 11. It says, surely he has borne our grief and carried our sorrows, yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of Elohim and afflicted.
He shall see the travail of his soul, shall be satisfied by his knowledge, shall my righteous servant justify many, for he shall bear their iniquities. So that means this righteous servant will be able to bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great and he shall divide the spoils with the strong because he has poured out his soul. unto death and he was numbered with the transgressors and he bared the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors okay so just saying if you compare those two you should be able to see that this is possible according to the tanakh i put the servant appears to be interpreted as the uh the you consummative levitical sin bearer of israel a similar notion that we saw in romans 3 25. i think we got a couple more slides left we're done take your time oh 52 13. I just want you to see this part.
He says, Behold, my servant shall deal prudently. He shall be exalted and extolled and be very high. As many were astounded at you, his visage was so marred more than any man and his form more than the son of men. So shall he sprinkle many nations.
The king shall shut their mouth at him, for that which he had not been told them shall they see. and that which they had not heard shall they consider. So whenever this happens, these are things that they just didn't know, right, specifically about this servant.
So a connection between the Levitical sacrifice in Isaiah 53, chapters 52 through chapters 53, may be seen with hints at a further conceptual link between Romans 3.25 and 4.25. Yeshahu 52.15 says that the suffering servant will sprinkle many nations. as a part of his mission to redeem his people.
The Hebrew word used for sprinkle is yaze. It is a typical word used in Weikra, Leviticus, and B'mibar and Numbers to describe sprinkling of blood on the people in various parts of the temple for sin offerings and ransom from guilt. And of course, all the scriptures, and we went over some of them, so that's why I don't need to go through that again. Or for the cleansing with a view of consecration.
Now, in light... the preceding two observations, the lamb as a guilt offering and bearing of the iniquities, that also connects Isaiah 53 with the Levitical sacrifice. The servant here is, in Isaiah 52, 15, to be seen as one who performs an end-time sacrificial sprinkling for the nations, to which Levitical sprinkling pointed. So you guys remember the whole point of the Levitical priesthood, how it was atoning for Israel and for the nations.
right? So we don't need to go through all that all over again. I think we got Targums, and then, okay, so really fast.
In the Targums, Isaiah 53, 5 says, but he will rebuild the temple that was defiled by our sins, handed over by our iniquities, and by his teachings, peace will increase upon us, and when he follows his words, our sins will be forgiven us. Now, this is the Targums 53. This is the uh i think i took the messiah text on this one here or king james this is but he was wounded for our transgressions he was bruised for our iniquities the chastisement of his peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed now think about what targum says and what we have putting those two together okay so he's gonna rebuild a temple but you don't rebuild a temple here okay but you see the other things about sin and forgiveness of sins by stripes where healed right everyone sees those two things right all right so my last point here is i mean my last last point oh my last point here is to show a conceptual connection between romans 3 25 4 25 that the targums of isaiah 53 5 says that allah will build the sanctuary which was handed over to for our iniquities. The last phrase of which is in interpretive paraphrase of Hebrews 53.5, affirming of the servant that he was bruised for our iniquities. Thus, Elohim's building of an end-time temple is directly linked to the servant's suffering and the notion of being handed over for iniquities.
Okay, wording very, you know, similar to Romans 4.25. Likewise, the suffering of Yahushua in Romans 3.25 entails, the setting forth of a new temple by Elohim. So the whole point of the series, just closing this thing out here, is just to share the two temples, right?
A lot of stuff that was happening in the physical temple was preparing us for what's supposed to be happening in a future temple, okay? And so when Mashiach talked about in three days, he'll raise it up. Was he talking about a physical building? Was he talking about a spiritual? And he's telling, if we understand his body being that, it's no different than our bodies the same way, okay?
