You shall be Holy... "And you shall not walk in the statutes of the nation which I am casting out before you; for they commit all these things, and therefore I abhor them. 24 But I have said to you, “You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey.” I am the Lord your God, who has separated you from the peoples." Lev 20:23-24

It's coming soon: The Sabbath Day as a “Holy Convocation,” as in, Lev 23:3. “Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.” It is a “Holy Convocation,” which is “An assembly… the act of publicly making a signal or sign for the purpose of community coming together… a collective people gathered for a purpose.” Swanson, J. (1997). In Dictionary of Biblical Languages with Semantic Domains : Hebrew (Old Testament) (electronic ed.). Logos Research Systems, Inc.

The social media trap, “…. all their works they do to be seen by men.” Matt 23:5

What is the kingdom of heaven like? “The kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son…” Matt 22:2

Why the food laws in Lev 11? Mainly to distinguish Israel as holy from paganism, but M Henry adds this, “most of the creatures which by this law were to be abominated as unclean were such as were had in high veneration among the heathen, not so much for food as for divination and sacrifice to their gods; and therefore those are here mentioned as unclean, and an abomination, which yet they would not be in any temptation to eat, that they might keep up a religious loathing of that for which the Gentiles had a superstitious value. The swine, with the later Gentiles, was sacred to Venus, the owl to Minerva, the eagle to Jupiter, the dog to Hecate, etc., and all these are here made unclean.”

On Moving mountains, “if you say to this mountain, "Be removed and be cast into the sea,' it will be done.  22 And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive."  M Henry says, “Whatever was the intent of that word, the same must be the expectation of faith, how impossible soever it might appear to sense. But this is a proverbial expression; intimating that we are to believe that nothing is impossible with God, and therefore that what he has promised shall certainly be performed, though to us it seem impossible.”

The heart of the regulative principle of worship, “ this is what the Lord commanded to be done.“ Lev 8:5. “… yet he did not institute or appoint any thing in God's worship but what God himself had commanded. The priesthood he delivered to them was that which he had received from the Lord. Note, All that minister about holy things must have an eye to God's command as their rule and warrant; for it is only in the observance of this that they can expect to be owned and accepted of God. Thus we must be able to say, in all acts of religious worship, This is the thing which the Lord commanded to be done.” Matthew Henry

Local school districts plan to defy immigration laws: “Several North Carolina school districts released public statements last week about how they’ll protect the education rights of students and and never ask families about their immigration status. Keung Hui and Rebecca Noel explain how school districts plan to respond if Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents come to their campuses.” Raleigh News and Observer, Feb 2, 2025

What were Children doing in the Temple? “But when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying out in the temple and saying, "Hosanna to the Son of David!" they were indignant  16 and said to Him, "Do You hear what these are saying?" And Jesus said to them, "Yes. Have you never read, "Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise' Matt 21:15

“A fire shall always be burning on the altar: it shall never go out” Lev 6:13, Henry, “By this law we are taught to keep up in our minds a constant disposition to all acts of piety and devotion, an habitual affection to divine things, so as to be always ready to every good word and work. We must not only not quench the Spirit, but we must stir up the gift that is in us. Though we be not always sacrificing, yet we must keep the fire of holy love always burning; and thus we must pray always.”

The essence of Democrat attackers at the confirmation hearings, "Who make a man an offender by a word, And lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate, And turn aside the just by empty words." Isaiah 29:21

A picture of the sinless Christ in OT, “let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the LORD.  4 Then he shall put his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on his behalf to make atonement for him.” Lev 1:3
