Leviticus: Correctly Worshiping God In Truth - Instructions to The Priests and The People of Israel

Published: Feb. 6, 2019, 3:09 p.m.

Leviticus is the third volume of the five books of the Torah, or the Teachings, also known as the books of "Instructions" or "Law".  Leviticus is a manual detailing the sacrificial system and a guidebook of required worship practices.

It was mainly intended as an instruction manual for the Hebrew priests, but also taught the newly-formed nation of Israel the principles of spiritual holiness, physical cleanliness and dietary observation.

The intent of this book is to instruct on how to correctly worship God in “truth”.  

Why the quotes around the word truth?  Because, the laws and feast days observance directives in Leviticus serve only to foreshadow how, in the coming church age, His people will completely worship God in spirit and in truth - as they prepare to reach the spiritual "promised land" of Heaven for eternity! 

In those early days, God came to earth to dwell with His people. At the end of the age, God's people go to heaven to dwell with God - finally, to worship God in both spirit and truth.

Tune-in to this lesson as we set the stage for understanding the full intent and thrust of this third book of the Torah, the book of Leviticus.
