WHY WAS THE TORAH GIVEN – INCLUDING THE SEFER, VAYIKRA

1..To show that we can’t keep it. (Heb 9:8 the Set-apart Spirit signifying this, that
the way into the Most Set-apart Place was not yet made manifest while the first Tent has
a standing, Heb 9:9 which was a parable for the present time in which both gifts and
slaughters are offered which are unable to perfect the one serving, as to his conscience,
Heb 9:10 only as to foods and drinks, and different washings, and fleshly regulations
imposed until a time of setting matters straight.

2..The Torah is Covenantal. Elohim is Covenantal. He seeks you out.

3.. First occurance: Adam / Cain & Avel: Ber. 4:8-15

Sin = guilt= tree of knowledge of good and evil. ( failure to walk out torah of life)

Covanant = Tree of Life ( Blessings of walking out the Torah correctly)

4..WHY THEN THE BOOK OF VAYIKRA AND ALL THE SACRIFICES.

* To expose our failures to reach His standard of Set-apartness by our own means

* To inspect you at the altar (That which you are familiar with)

* To meet you at your point of need.

* To teach us the proper way to behave.

* To show us He is not interested in sacrifices.

# 4190 – failure....the influence of evil = taking the ability to do the torah and
telling the nation that they are obligated to do it. They are not to be told. They
are called to do it.

Egypt Mentality = Sacrifices / works offered to appease the gods. / Bribery /

ELOHIM NOT A PHYSICAL BEING THAT NEEDS FOOD – PEOPLE DO ? – He is

smatter than our tongues.

Doing Torah: SACRIFICES DOES NOT EQUAL OBEDIENCE

Hos 6:4 “Ephrayim, what would I do with you? Yehuḏah, what would I do with you? For
your trustworthiness is like a morning cloud, and like the early dew it goes away. Hos 6:5
“Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of My
mouth. And my right-rulings break forth as the light. Hos 6:6 “For I delight in kindness
and not slaughtering, and in the knowledge of Elohim more than burnt offerings. Hos 6:7
“But like Aḏam they transgressed the covenant. There they acted treacherously against
Me. Hos 6:8 “Gilʽaḏ is a city of workers of wickedness – tracked up with blood. Hos 6:9
“And as bands of robbers lie in wait for a man, so the company of priests murder on the
way to Sheḵem, for they have done wickedness. Hos 6:10 “I have seen a horrible matter
in the house of Yisra’ĕl: the whoring of Ephrayim is there, Yisra’ĕl is defiled. Hos 6:11
“Also, a harvest is appointed for you, O Yehuḏah, when I turn back the captivity of My
people.

THEY WRONGLY HANDLED THE SACRFICES ( TREACHEROULSY) TO TEACHING

TORAH
baw-gad'
A primitive root; to cover (with a garment); figuratively to act covertly; by implication to
pillage: - deal deceitfully (treacherously, unfaithfully), offend, transgress (-or), (depart),
treacherous (dealer, -ly, man), unfaithful (-ly, man), X very.

Elohim’s standard demands : Kindness / Mercy

1..SACRFICES SHOULD AROUSE AROSE A PERSON TO EXAMINE HIS BEHAVIOUR IN LIGHT

OF ELOHIM’S CREATION. THIS SHOULD LEAD TO REPENTANCE = A CHANGE IN BEHAVIOUR.

2..SACRIFICES WERE COMANDED SO THAT PRIEST IN THE SANCTUARY WOULD HAVE A

LIVIHOOD AND NOT HAVE TO BEG CHARITY

3..A SACRIFICE IS LIKE A FINE. AN INDIVIDUAL WHO SUFFERS A FINANCIAL LOSS DUE TO
HIS/HER SIN MAY COME TO REALISE THAT SIN IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND THUS REPENT OF
REFRAIM FROM SINNING.

4..BY WITNESSING THE SLAUGHTERING THE SIINER SEES THE SACRIFICE, THE BURNING
AND THE REMAINING ASHES OF THE ANIMAL= REALISE THIS IS THE END OF ALL HUMANS
AND THEREFORE REPENT.

5..YISRAEL WITNESSED ANIMAL SACRIFICES IN EGYPT, LEARN NOT TO WORSHIP THE

ANIMALS/IDOLS. TO PREVENT WORSHIPING ANIMAL BUT TO USE IT AS SACRIFICES

SACRIFICES IN ITSELF DOES NOT APPEASE ELOHIM FOR ONE’S WRONG DOING, RATHER, IT
SERVES MERELY AS AN EXPRESSION OF MANS DESIRE TO PURIFY HIMSLEF AND BECOME
RECONCILED TO ELOHIM.

A MAN’S DESIRE IS AS POWEFUL AS THE SACRFICE ITSEL. A MAN’S EXPECTATION IS AS

POWERFULL AS THE SACRIFICE ITSELF

THE ESSENTAIL ELEMENT OF REPENTANCE IS THE INDIVIDUALS ATTITUDE . THE

ATTITUDE ITSELF IS THE SACRIFICE . ( LIVING SACFRICE)

WHEN THE TEMPLE IS DESTROYED THE SACRIFICES WIIL END !!!!!!!! TIME FOR MERCY

One is a temple / Two is a Tabernacle ( Two talking together)

HE KNEW THAT YOUR TEMPLE NEEDED TO BE DESTROYED. AS ONLY HE CAN RAISE IT UP

AGAIN.

THE LAW WILL FORCE YOU TO REMEMBER SIN – WEEK AFTER WEEK.

PRESENT YOUR BODIES AS A LIVING SACRIFICE AS YOUR REASONABLE WORSHIP.!!!!

PRAYER / TORAH STUDY / TZADAKAH - REQUIRE A WHOLEHEARTED COMMITMENT SO

ALSO DOES REPENTANCE REQUIRE.

WE WERE MADE TO STUDY- STUDY LEADS TO DELIVERANCE – NO NEED FOR WEEK BY

WEEK GUILT.

WE WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO KEEP THE TORAH, THE TORAH IS KEEPING US.

WE ARE THE TENT OF MEETING.
