God’s message to me: God fulfills His promises in His timing. When the time is right we will have what we are promised regardless of the odds. Trying to claim things before He gives them only leads to defeat and pain.
Promises: The bible contains many promises for us. They are ours for the asking and when God decides the time is right they are ours for the taking. We don’t have Him speaking to us from a cloud or a temple but we do have the Bible and prayer to provide us with communication with Him. Seek His guidance through prayer and find His answers in the bible and in the way the bible prescribes.
Commands: Unintentional sin is still sin and must be atoned for. Intentional sin is rebellion against God.
Timeless principles: What God promises He will deliver but claiming something in His name does not help if He has not promised it or has forbidden it. The Israelites changed their minds after complaining against God. They decided they could take the land in God’s name after God had said they could not. They lost their battle and their lives.
How can I apply what I’ve learned: Accept and claim what God has promised when it is due. Do not think to claim what is not yours.
more to learn for in-depth study: Every Israelite over the age of 20 except Moses, Aaron, Joshua and Caleb was doomed to die during the 40 years in the wilderness leaving their children to take the land of Canaan. The remaining 10 spies died by plague immediately as an example.

Leviticus chapter 4-6
God’s message to me: Covering up the sin of another is sin.
Promises: Unintentional sin can be forgiven if you confess it and ask forgiveness when you learn you did wrong.
Commands: Make atonement for unintentional sin when you learn you have sinned. Be careful not to lead others to sin and, do not help people to cover up their sin.
Timeless principles: Even Unintentional sin is sin and, when that sin becomes known to the sinner he must ask God’s forgiveness for that sin.
How can I apply what I’ve learned: Don’t make excuses for unintentional sin. Confess it and ask forgiveness immediately when you realize you have done wrong.
more to learn for in-depth study: Chapter 6 starts with “bunko” and describes various cons that would allow someone to dishonestly gain what wasn’t theirs. Frankly, the victims and most of society just call this theft but the con man often doesn’t see it as theft and looks down on thieves as if they were scum.
Rules for priests: The fire on the alter should be always burning and never be allowed to go out. A handful of each grain offering along with all the frankincense that came with it should be burned and the remainder is to feed the priest and his sons in the tabernacle. The grain offering for the priest must be baked into an unleavened cake and burned on the alter. The sin offering is eaten by the priest and his sons in the tabernacle unless the blood was brought into the tabernacle for atonement in which case it should be completely burned. The pot for boiling meat should be broken afterward and if it is metal it should be thoroughly scoured out and rinsed.
