For Sin And Uncleanness; The Third Day and The Seventh Day

[Mr. M]

Both sin and the uncleanness from death that defiles the holy things were

dealt with on the cross, and will consummate the age.

Zechariah 13:1 In that day a fountain shall be opened for the house of David

and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.

We all have contact with dead things, which defiles what must be kept holy.

Numbers 19:

11 He who touches the dead body of anyone shall be unclean for seven days.

12 He shall purify himself with the water on the third day and on the seventh day;

then he will be clean. But if he does not purify himself on the third day

and on the seventh day, he will not be clean.

13 Whoever touches the body of anyone who has died, and does not purify himself,

defiles the tabernacle of the Lord. That person shall be cut off from Israel. He shall be unclean,

because the water of purification was not sprinkled on him; his uncleanness is still on him.

 

19 The clean person shall sprinkle the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day;

and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, wash his clothes, and bathe in water;

and in the evening he shall be clean.

Sin And Death Defiled The Holy Land and The Offerings of the people

Ezekiel 36:17 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land,

they defiled it by their own ways and deeds; to Me their way was like the uncleanness

of a woman in her customary impurity.

Ezekiel 39:24 According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions

I have dealt with them, and hidden My face from them.

This is a reflection of the inner working of Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit.

2 Chronicles 29:16 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the Lord,

to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of

the Lord into the court of the house of the Lord. And the Levites took it, to carry it

out abroad into the brook Kidron.

Deuteronomy 21:

22 If a man has committed a sin deserving of death, and he is put to death,

and you hang him on a tree,

23 his body shall not remain overnight on the tree, but you shall surely bury him

that day, so that you do not defile the land which the Lord your God is giving you

as an inheritance; for he who is hanged is accursed of God.

The apostolic doctrine reflects this knowledge; for sin and for uncleanness

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the

law of sin and death.

Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin;

and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.

James 1:14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.

15 Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is fully grown,

brings forth death.

1 John 5:17 All unrighteousness is sin, and there is sin not unto death.

1 Thessalonians 4:

7 For God did not call us to uncleanness, but to holiness.

8 Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us

His Holy Spirit.

2 Corinthians 7:1 Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves

from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

2 Thessalonians 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you,

brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation 

through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth.

1 Peter 1: Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit,

unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.

Romans 6:19  I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: 

for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity 

unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

If people think the world is a mess now, we are told the world will be worse during the tribulation. The Bible is clear that the age of grace has to end before the tribulation can begin. "For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way." 2 Thessalonians 2:7
