As far as my Scripture reading and commentary, I am learning as I go through each chapter. It helps me to put into words what I am learning, understanding, and what questions are prompted by the reading. I just finished Exodus and am beginning Leviticus.
I don't do this every day, but would like to increase the frequency of reading through books in the Word.
I am glad that you are gleaning some good thoughts from what my posts. It is a wonderful thing to be able to share on this forum. I always appreciate feedback from my posts. I believe that God is at work in our conversations on here. So, I do pray for you to be blessed, also. We are in this together, and I am so glad we have been put together by the Lord in this way.
Could these be referring to the 10 tribes of Israel, while the parodical sons being the 2 tribes? Even so, it seems that the parables are a mirror in the things that concern the spiritual, while at the same time giving us insight of the future of the nation Israel. If these conclusions are true, what does it mean? The word is eternal when instructing us in the things of God, these things that pertain to both Jew and Gentile. Knowing these things ,the scriptures are a light unto our path, that we might grow thereby! Giving us more insight into the signs of the times!
Even so, the use of wheat and oil, in the parable of the unjust steward, the word accusation from somewhere else, one would draw the conclusion that this parable is playing out right now in this time in the world. That the rich man is the nation Israel, while the stewards are those who are responsible for it. Those who have been accused of unfaithfulness, once again must call in all the loans proving once again ,these things that concern a nation that shall always be Gods chosen! The Nation Of the 10 that are missing and the two who are waiting! This the Nation under the hand of a loving God, the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ! When we see the things of God that are spoken of through Jesus, we see a God who is forever faithful unto His children! Repent and be Baptised
Please pray for me that my walking is restored. God bless you today and always.
Romans 5:13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
You must be born again, to know Jesus personally will help understand.
I am told there is no speed limit in the state of Montana. If you drive 55 or 85 its not unlawful.
In this chapter, God instructs Moses concerning the types of offerings that the Israelites are to willingly bring before Him. These can be a bull, ram, or fowl, depending on what a person can afford. The animal is to be without defect. There are specific ways for the person or the priest to slaughter the animal and then how the blood is drained and sprinkled on or around the altar. There are instructions about how the animal is to be cut apart before being placed on the wood of the fire on the brazen altar of sacrifice.
Animal sacrifice goes all the way back to Adam and Eve. God slaughtered the animal to make clothing for Adam and Eve after they sinned. Adam and Eve felt the guilt of their sin. The covering of animal skins covered their guilt. The slaughter of the animal was the way God wanted the O.T. believers to have their sins removed from them. It is interesting to think that it was not just the killing of the animal, but also the burning of it that was part of the sacrifice. Perhaps the significance of burning the animal parts is to indicate that sins and/or guilt are being burned away from the offender.
The sacrifice was to be made in the tabernacle, where God meets with his people. So, the Israelites could not just make an altar anywhere and offer a sacrifice as the earlier patriarchs did. Here God was dealing with the Israelites as a unified nation, not so much as individuals who could "do their own thing" before God.
It seems that God was forming in the hearts of this nation worship practices that are common to all. It seems that He was being so specific in His instructions that He may be testing them to see if they will do things His way or their own way or the way they did things in Egypt. So, consistency is a good teacher. God was also instructing them that they are not to approach Him any old way. Rather, to esteem Him to be so authorative and holy that if He says to do something a specific way, it is best for them to do so
I cited that scripture not because I think you need to be, but because I think you already are. :-)
Praying for blessings over you and yours tonight.

Its the End of Days according to Ezekiel 38:16 where it states it will be the latter Days which means end of days, the millennium is for The Restoration between the them since the two sticks of Judah and Israel were already rejoined back in chapter 37.
The use of Gog and Magog in Revelation 20:8 is apparently an inclusive term for all the Gentile nations; East (Gog) and West (Magog) all over the world and is being referenced here as to how many there is that will still go against the Lord during the millennium; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea: And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. (To gather them together to do battle against the Lord God)
This is the final chapter of this book. God instructs Moses to erect the tabernacle and tent of meeting on the first day of the new year (which would be in the month of Nissan (March/April). So, the first year since leaving Egypt was coming to a close. And now, the Israelites are facing the dawning of the second year. The trip from Egypt to Canaan could have been traveled in a few months (considering there was over a million people) but God had them tarry at certain places. He had them camp before Mt. Sinai for most of the year. Now, on the first of the new year, Moses does as God commanded him, erecting the tent of meeting with the tabernacle within and the roof overhead. He placed all of the furnishings in the tent just as God had told him to do. Moses was so dedicated to obeying God. His time on the mountain must have created a deep and abiding relationship between Moses and YHWH. Of all the Israelites, Moses, understood YHWH's worth and the necessity to obey Him was unquestionable.
After everything is in place and the priests anointed for their service, YHWH fills the tent of meeting with His Presence (the cloud by day/fire by night). This Presence was so intense that even Moses could not enter the tent of meeting. How bright the light of the pillar must have been and how thick the clouds of the pillar. It seems that YHWH aimed to make the tent of meeting impenetrable as long as His Presence filled it. No one can push through to the presence of God. God has to allow it on His grounds for His reasons. The Israelites must have sensed the weight of His Glory and knew that YHWH definitely was in charge of them and their situation. I don't think God revealed His Presence this way to keep His people away from Him. I think He revealed Himself this way so that they would comprehend how powerful and holy He is, both creating trust and fear in them.
The chapter closes by saying that as long as YHWH's Presence was over the tent of meeting, they put.
This chapter describes the making of the priestly garments as YHWH had told Moses they were to be made up on the mountain in previous chapters. After everything was made, Moses inspected all of the work and said that all was done just as YHWH had told him these should be fashioned. The text does not say if Moses told the artisans how things were to look and be constructed or if the Holy Spirit had directed Bezalel and Aholiab how to do so.
Moses blessed the people at the completion of all of this work. He must have been so pleased to see what God had showed him on the mountain become reality.
