"If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God."  Peter in Epistle no. 1,  4:11.

Jesus never shared little "anythings," and never chatted.  Should we?

1 Corinthians 14:19 Yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.

Shalom my family,

I have been studying the Levitical sacrifices recently and it's amazing how each one can teach us more about the Father, Son and Spirit. 

To avoid rambling on, I'll just give you an interesting nugget which I hope will encourage you to look at the system in a new light.

We, of course, refer to these offerings to Yahweh as a "sacrifice". The connotation of that word means giving up at your own expense or losing something personal for another cause. Whilst that is indeed true, consider the original Hebrew word "Korban". Korban means to draw closer or to get nearer. How vastly different!

Therefore, rather than thinking "sacrifice" which focuses on what WE are giving up, if we understand it as "korban" we can focus on the fact that this is a gift to Yahweh - to draw nearer to Him, to get closer to Him. Praise Yahweh that he instilled a system to enable man to get closer to Him!

Consider the English terms for the Hebrew terms below to see how they are brought to life with this understanding

• Burnt Offering: Korban Olah - to draw close through an ascending offering
• Grain Offering: Korban Minchah - to draw close through a gift offering
• Fellowship Offering: Korban Shelamim - to draw close through a thanksgiving offering

Every Korban process has great significance as well, it's not arbitrary - but that's for another time.

For now, think on this. Israel had a morning Korban Olah and and evening Korban Olah, besides all the other offerings.  Now, scripture mentions that Daniel was praying at the time of the evening Korban Olah when he received a vision... So maybe a practise that we are being taught is for a morning and evening prayer (at sunrise and sunset), to give our thanksgiving so that we can "draw close through an ascending offering" with prayer.  This is also reminiscent of the ascending incense before Ark of the Covenant, which is identified as the prayers of the saints. 

As for me, I have been doing this and, not only do I love it, but I feel it's a right and dutiful to do so. To thank the Father at the beginning of the day, for all that he has blessed you with, and at the end of the day for sustaining you and those you love through another day. I really don't feel it's legalistic (sometimes I miss sunrise and sunset!) but I feel that it helps keep me on track with daily gratitude and humility. 

So many interesting revelations surround the Tabernacle. Such a fascinating topic.

Love & Shalom

Yes, Tzephanayahu, the fundamental purpose of sacrifice is worship. We tend to focus to much on the instrumentality of it, what it achieves. But sacrifice works because it is not a tool, but worship.

So, consider this: when Jesus offered Himself on the cross, He was actually giving Himself in worship to the Father.
