And so then they they took 173 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.199 them sixteen days to clean out the entrance to the temple, 174 00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:08.959 and to readdicate. 175 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:10.079 It amazing what you can get done in the first 176 00:07:10.079 --> 00:07:11.240 few days of administration. 177 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.959 Yeah, verse thirty days, it says. So then the Levites 178 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.519 went to King Hezekiah. This is in chapter twenty nine 179 00:07:17.560 --> 00:07:21.639 of Second Chronicles, verse eighteen. The Leevites went to King 180 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:24.240 Hezekiah and gave him this report. We have cleansed the 181 00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:26.519 entire temple of the Lord, the altar of burnt offering 182 00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:28.839 with all its utensils, and the table of the bread 183 00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:31.879 of presents with all its utensils. And we've also recovered 184 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.639 all the items discarded by King AHAs when he was 185 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.600 unfaithful and closed the temple. They are now in front 186 00:07:37.639 --> 00:07:40.199 of the Altar of the Lord, purified and ready for use. 187 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.920 Early the next morning, King Hezekiah gathered the city officials 188 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:45.959 who went to the temple of the Lord. They brought 189 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.040 seven bulls, seven rams, and seven male lambs as a 190 00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:51.600 burnt offering, together with seven male goats as a sin 191 00:07:51.720 --> 00:07:54.720 offering for the kingdom, for the temple and for Judah. 192 00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:57.319 The king commanded the priests who were descendants of Arran, 193 00:07:57.399 --> 00:07:59.160 to sacrifice the animals and the altar of the Lord. 194 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.079 So they kill the bulls and the priest took the 195 00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:03.040 blood and sprinkled it on the altar. And next they 196 00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.040 killed the rams and sprinkled their blood on the altar, 197 00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:07.000 and finally they did the same with the male lambs. 198 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.519 The male goats for the sin offering were then brought 199 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:11.680 before the king and the assembly of the people who 200 00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:14.600 laid their hands on them. Priests then killed the goats 201 00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:16.519 as a sin offering and sprinkled their blood on the 202 00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:19.199 altar to make atonement for the sins of all Israel. 203 00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:22.160 The king had specifically commanded this burnt offering and sin 204 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:26.560 offering should be made for all Israel. King Hazekiah then 205 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:28.839 stationed the leevites at the temple Lord with symbols and 206 00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:31.560 leers and harps. He obeyed all the commands that the 207 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:35.120 Lord had given to King David through God, the King's seer, 208 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.000 and the prophet Nathan. The Leevites then took their positions 209 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.000 around the temple with the instruments of David, and the 210 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:44.240 priests took their positions with the trumpets. Then Hezekiah ordered 211 00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:46.720 that the burnt offering be placed on the altar. As 212 00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:49.039 the burnt offering was presented, songs of praise to the 213 00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:51.799 Lord were begun, accompanied by the trumpets and the other 214 00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:54.639 instruments of David, the former King of Israel. The entire 215 00:08:54.679 --> 00:08:56.919 assembly worshiped the Lord as the singer sang and the 216 00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:00.720 trumpets blew until all the burnt offerings were finished. Then 217 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:03.440 the king and everyone with him bowed down in worship. 218 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:06.200 King Hasekiah and the officials order the lee btes to 219 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:08.919 praise the Lord with the psalms written by David and 220 00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:12.440 by Asaf the Seer. So they offered joyous praise and 221 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:15.960 bowed down in worship. Then Hazekiah declared, now that you 222 00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:18.799 have consecrated yourselves to the Lord, bring your sacrifices and 223 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:20.039 thanksgiving offerings to the. 224 00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:22.159 Temple of the Lord. So the people brought. 225 00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:25.480 Their sacrifices and thanksgiving offerings, and all whose hearts were 226 00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:28.480 willing brought burnt offerings too. The people brought to the 227 00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.759 Lord seventy bulls, one hundred rams, two hundred male lambs 228 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.399 for burnt offerings. They also brought six hundred cattle and 229 00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:39.000 three thousand sheep and goats as sacred offerings. But there 230 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:41.399 were too few priests to prepare all the burnt offerings, 231 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.080 so their relatives, the levites, helped them until the work 232 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:46.639 was finished, and more priests have been purified, for the 233 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:49.720 lie btes have been more conscientious about purifying themselves than 234 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.440 the priests had been. There was an abundance of burnt 235 00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:55.039 offerings along with the usual liquid offerings, and a great 236 00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:57.759 deal of fat from the many peace offerings. So the 237 00:09:57.759 --> 00:09:59.919 temple Lord was restored to service and has a ki 238 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:02.399 and all the people rejoiced because of what God had 239 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.519 done for the people, for everything had been accomplished so quickly. 240 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:11.440 Yeah, yeah, wow, what a great chapter after a lot 241 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:16.559 of chapters of wicked kings right and wicked practices. 242 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:20.440 It's nice. It feels great, you know. 243 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.480 The first thing that stood out to me was the 244 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:24.399 different types of offerings. 245 00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:25.840 He said, there's. 246 00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:29.960 Abundance of burn offerings along with the usual liquid offerings, 247 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.159 and a great deal of fat from the many peace offerings. 248 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:35.240 So can we talk about that for a minute. There 249 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:38.440 was different types, the different types of offerings. Yeah, So 250 00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.480 in the Bible, there was there was different ways to 251 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:46.279 worship God, and there was there were there were offerings 252 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:49.039 that were done all the way up until in including 253 00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:55.639 Jesus' time, where they would sacrifice offerings for the individual 254 00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:59.000 sins of families. Each family would bring an offering and 255 00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:04.039 then they would actually sacrifice an animal that represented all 256 00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:06.600 of Israel. Right, So there was there was there was 257 00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:09.120 one that represented all of Israel. Those are different kinds 258 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:12.519 kinds of offerings in the Bible. It refers oftentimes to 259 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:17.559 liquid offerings. You remember when David poured out the drink 260 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:22.399 and it said and he did so as a liquid offering, right, 261 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:25.679 And so he was going to drink the water that 262 00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:28.159 the men had, you know, gone down. They fought the 263 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.039 Philistines to bring out back a drink that he longed for. 264 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:33.120 He was just dying to have a drink from his 265 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:36.559 home well in Bethlehem, and he was so grateful for 266 00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:39.320 his loyal friends that he said, even though I want 267 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:41.039 this more than anything else, I'm gonna pour it out 268 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.600 and uh. And then there's it says there's peace offerings. 269 00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:44.440 Uh. 270 00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:48.480 And there's many different animals representing these offerings. So there's bulls, 271 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:53.279 there's goats, there's cattle, there's sheep, there's oxen. There's many 272 00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:54.480 different types of animals too. 273 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:55.200 Ye. 274 00:11:56.039 --> 00:12:00.759 So the first big offerings those seven bulls, seven seven lambs. 275 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:04.360 They can say place stuffs, but those first ones the 276 00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:08.000 seven bulls, seven rams, and seven male lambs along with 277 00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:09.080 the seven goats. 278 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.120 So the the. 279 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:16.879 Bulls, rams, and lambs were burnt offerings and those were 280 00:12:16.919 --> 00:12:22.840 like establishing God, we're coming back to worship. Right, that's 281 00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:26.519 that's that's what they're establishing there. And then the king 282 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.360 commands that they they bring the goats in and these 283 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.120 are sin offerings. So usually the sin offerings would be 284 00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:37.480 like a goat kind of a thing where it represented 285 00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:42.840 the fact that he's sacrificing this saying God, we're confessing 286 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:44.159 our sins as a nation. 287 00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:46.720 And it starts from the king. Right, That's what good 288 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:47.200 leaders do. 289 00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:50.000 Good leaders don't put responsibility on the people, going Hey, 290 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.399 the people are sinners. He's saying, hey, I'm going to 291 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:54.799 lead you in this. We are confessing our sins as 292 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:58.080 a nation. And so then they sacrifice the goats that way, 293 00:12:58.519 --> 00:13:02.120 and it's it's they sprinkle the blood right on the 294 00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:03.480 altar to make atonement. 295 00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:05.240 So the altar. 296 00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:12.519 Is represents the place where the sin of the people 297 00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:15.600 could be covered over because of course the sacrifices of 298 00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:19.559 animals did not forgive sin, but it covered the sins 299 00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:24.200 of the people, and it represents ultimately, the innocent one 300 00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:27.559 is dying for the guilty ones. So the innocent animal 301 00:13:27.639 --> 00:13:33.399 is dying in order that the sinner can live. And 302 00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:36.960 so they're re establishing this and it's a picture of Jesus. 303 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:42.320 Someday Jesus would come and he would be literally John 304 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:44.519 the Baptist when he points out Jesus the first time 305 00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:46.840 he goes look at behold the Lamb of God, who 306 00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:48.919 takes away the sin of the world. By the time 307 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:51.000 you get to the Book of Revelation, almost all the 308 00:13:51.039 --> 00:13:53.799 times that mentions Jesus, it calls him the lamb right, 309 00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:59.759 and he's the Lamb of God. And they're singing. The 310 00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:03.000 angels are singing around the throne the Lamb of God, 311 00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:06.519 and all of the saints from all the generations are 312 00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:09.840 around the throne worthy as the Lamb who is slain right, 313 00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:14.919 and they're singing, they're celebrating. And so this picture inside 314 00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:19.440 the temple is we see again over and over and 315 00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:21.279 over again until finally we get to the end and 316 00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:23.200 you and I will be part of a celebration like this. 317 00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:27.960 The music, the grandeur of it, worshiping the Lamb, not 318 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.559 the sacrifice here that represents the Lamb, but the actual 319 00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.240 Lamb himself, Jesus Christ. And so the worship in the 320 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:39.679 temple was a picture of the bigger mission that God 321 00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:43.480 was on. And so this didn't save them, but it 322 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:47.120 put it demonstrated the fact that they were putting faith 323 00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:51.080 in the Messiah that was coming, who would be the 324 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:52.360 ultimate sacrifice. 325 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:56.080 Yeah, and if you want to dive into that comparison, 326 00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:59.279 the Book of Hebrews really does dive into that comparison 327 00:14:59.279 --> 00:14:59.519 in a. 328 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:01.120 Really big way. You know. 329 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:03.960 It's the Book of Hebrews describes and says that the 330 00:15:04.000 --> 00:15:05.799 sprinkling of blood. I know that we just read that 331 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:09.480 chapter and it could be a little gruesome, but blood 332 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:12.759 was very important to God and which is why Jesus 333 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:16.759 spilled his blood. And it says in Hebrews nine twenty 334 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:19.799 two without the shedding of blood, there's no forgiveness of sins. 335 00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:22.720 It's a requirement. And then it also says in the 336 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:25.559 Book of Hebrews that these sacrifices in the Old Testament 337 00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:29.120 were temporary, but Jesus' sacrifice was once and for all. 338 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.159 So the Bible says that the life is in the blood. 339 00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.559 And there's a so many things we can unpack on 340 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:40.200 that idea scientifically, all that kind of stuff, but the 341 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:42.519 life is in the blood. And then you know that 342 00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:46.360 God had said, if you sin, you'll die. Romans tells 343 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:48.919 us that the wages are the ransom for sin is death. 344 00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:54.840 So the representation of this life being given is the 345 00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:59.799 blood itself, right, and so and then Jesus literally pays 346 00:15:59.840 --> 00:16:02.679 the price for our sin with his blood. So that's 347 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:05.320 all that this is. It's pretty gruesome on one side. 348 00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:08.960 The other side, it's just reminding us of how gruesome 349 00:16:09.000 --> 00:16:09.639 our sin is. 350 00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.960 Right. We tend to think, boy, the. 351 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:15.399 Sacrifice is gruesome, and God's like, you have no idea 352 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:19.080 how gruesome your sin is. Right, If we could have 353 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.480 the same repulsion towards our sin that we have towards 354 00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:26.240 these sacrifices, right, right, but we don't. We're like, ooh, gross, 355 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:27.919 but we don't think of our sin in the same 356 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:31.200 way a lot of times. But that's how God sees it, right. 357 00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:35.360 It's gross for gross, it's gruesome for gruesome, it's death 358 00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:35.879 for death. 359 00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:39.120 I just watched a Yellowstone yesterday. I finished it up, 360 00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:45.240 and they have this cook who's just constantly cooking for everybody, 361 00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:47.399 and all he does all day along is kill things. 362 00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:51.360 He kills things in chop. Butcher, you know, makes it. 363 00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:53.639 And I just have to believe, because I don't really 364 00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:56.039 do those things, I have to believe that if I 365 00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:00.879 was a butcher, I would probably feel way different about 366 00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:03.559 doing a sacrifice.
