"AND HE CALLED"
(Weekly Reading>>Leviticus 1:1-6:7, Isaiah 43:21-44:23, Hebrews 10: 1-18, Romans 8:1-13)
Also, the book of Leviticus sets forth wisdom, knowledge and understanding of Yahweh’s moral principles – called commandments. These instructions govern life in heaven and on earth. Without these teachings life would cease to exist. With these principles the believer is given the opportunity to prepare his/her heart and live a life fitting for the coming of the King. These directions for Yeshua’s tabernacle and His Kingdom (heavenly and earthly) are still in place today, and He is returning soon (Hebrews 8:2).
Recap: The second book of Moses Exodus gave the Bride the pattern of the tabernacle /mishkan beginning with the blueprint, then the gathering of all the materials, the building process and the completed structure so the builder (Yeshua) could say to the Bride, “You can move in now!” The third book of Moses, Leviticus is a detailed prophetic look at how to enter into Yeshua’s Kingdom (the tabernacle) and live in the Bridal Chamber (the Holy of Holies) to have eternal life.
The Five Offerings
Once the tabernacle was built, Yahweh shared the instructions for the continual offerings that the Israelites were to bring before Him. The offerings reveal the heart of the people who serve Him. They are designed to lubricate the heart, to keep it humble, thankful and teachable toward Yahweh, and to lead the people into a redeemed lifestyle in His Kingdom. The principle of the offerings is to elevate the Bride and to keep her far from temptation and sin.
As mentioned earlier, offerings are different than tithes. Tithes are the ten percent portion of the full one hundred percent given us from Yahweh. Yahweh included the ten percent in our increase for us to offer back to Him. The remaining ninety percent is ours to keep and is where the offerings are derived from. Offerings do not come from tithes but from the believer’s own personal possession (the ninety percent) called the holy portion. It is imperative that Yahweh’s people understand this stage of the process as the Tabernacle is built on offerings .
Offerings are the Bride’s seed. The seed is the Word of Yahweh (Luke 8:11). The Bride sows seed by receiving the Word of God first in her own heart. The seed (word) sown (spoken) must confirm the pattern/word that is already written on her heart by Yahweh. After the seed roots and grows in her spirit, the Holy Spirit/ Ruach HaKodesh will then work on her behalf in her physical life to produce abundance. Thus she becomes a doer of the Bridegroom’s word.
Blessing, prosperity and wealth rarely exceed personal development. Yahweh has provided wealth to flow to the next generations. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were all extremely wealthy. As offerings reveal the heart, we cannot give and think we will not have enough to tithe because the tithe we have is not ours to begin with but belongs to Yahweh. He owns it. Thus if we give, it will be multiplied back to us. This is a Kingdom principle of sowing and reaping. Yahweh will never run out or be poor as He is the owner of it all. On the other hand, an earthy carnal mindset holds his increase tightly and does not give, share or participate in the tithes or the offerings .
If it is a pure incorruptible seed of sowing, the tithe and then the offering will take root and bear much Godly fruit when it is sown using healthy rich heart soil. This is how the tabernacle is built today. If the seed planted does not match Yahweh’s Word it is by definition a corruptible, counterfeit seed, which will produce corruptible, counterfeit fruit along with useless brambles or weeds. This is foreign to Yahweh’s Kingdom design.
After the Israelites completed and then dedicated Yahweh’s dwelling, it was time to learn how to live with Him in His residence/Kingdom (1 Corinthians 6:12-20). This is the whole purpose of Leviticus . Contained within Yahweh’s loving instructions are His steadfast established principles and appointed times that He designed and predestined before Creation to give us maximum life with Him in His House/Kingdom. These instructions give us unlimited blessings and abundant life with Him. There are areas in the tabernacle/ mishkan that are for common use (outer court) and areas that are holy (the holy and most holy areas) and both lead to a redeemed lifestyle if walked out properly. The book of Leviticus is directed to the priesthood, as they are the caretakers of the dwelling of Yahweh on behalf of the twelve tribes of Israel and the nations.
The Priesthood – The Firstborn Son
Originally the priesthood was through the firstborn son. He is the King’s son and heir to His Kingdom. Adam was a firstborn son; so was Noah. They represented the King and acted on His behalf in His Kingdom on earth.
Jacob had twelve sons who became the twelve tribes of Israel. Twelve represents Yahweh’s government.

Matthew 7:24-27 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock . The rain came down, and streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against the house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does NOT put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
Isaiah 66:1 “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Heaven is My throne, And earth is My footstool. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest?’”

James 1:22 “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.”
If it is a pure incorruptible seed of sowing, the tithe and then the offering will take root and bear much Godly fruit when it is sown using healthy rich heart soil. This is how the tabernacle is built today. If the seed planted does not match Yahweh’s Word it is by definition a corruptible, counterfeit seed, which will produce corruptible, counterfeit fruit along with useless brambles or weeds. This is foreign to Yahweh’s Kingdom design.
Matthew 13:18-23 “Therefore hear the parable of the sower: ‘When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”
1 Peter 1:22-25 Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth [Psa 119:142] through the Spirit in sincere love [John 14:15] of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again [re-newed], not of corruptible seed [mans words] but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, because "All flesh is as grass, And all the glory of man [man's words / doctrines] as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, And its flower falls away, But the word of the LORD endures forever." Now this is the word which by the gospel [covenant] was preached to you.(Isaiah 40:6-8)
