[Ahaz] walked in the way of the kings of Israel. He even burned his son as an offering, according to the despicable practices of the nations whom YHWH drove out before the people of Israel.
2 Kings 16:3
It's not clear whether Ahaz actually sacrificed his child or performed some kind of dedication ritual involving fire. In either case, it was idolatrous and wicked, and human sacrifice has been a feature of almost all pagan religions throughout history.
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
John 8:12
"Follow me" means to live as #yeshua (Jesus) lived and in accordance with his direction. If Torah no longer applies, then this statement is worse than useless to us in that faithfully following Yeshua would lead people astray. Fortunately, his teachings are consistent: "Don't even think that I came to do away with the Law and the Prophets!"
And Joshua said, “Why did you bring trouble on us? YHWH brings trouble on you today.” And all Israel stoned him with stones. They burned them with fire and stoned them with stones.
Joshua 7:25
Akan means "troubler", so when Joshua passed judgment on him, he said, "Troubler (akan), why have you brought trouble (akar) on us?"
When we are punished by rightful civil authorities for crimes against God, they are acting as his agents.
Only a couple of points I would like to make outside of what is in the comic.
- On 8:5 - the "copy and shadow" are explained in the same verse. I've heard several try to say because it is a "copy and shadow" it should no longer be followed. However, we can see from this verse that it was YHWH that ordered the copy to be made and followed.
- The color coding is to show the difference between covenant and law. I've heard several use them interchangeably or say they are tied together. However, we can see they are not.
- If you want the context of what the author of Hebrews is relaying here, this section is quoting Jeremiah 31.

Have you ever been taught that the purpose of tithing is to support the Levites and priests? While it’s true that tithes were given to the priests, that’s not the whole story. The first mention of tithing is in Genesis 14:20, where Abram gives a tithe to Melchizedek, the priest of God. Later, in Leviticus, God formalizes this practice as part of His covenant with Israel, ensuring provision for His priests.
But recently, while reading Deuteronomy, a verse stood out to me that I had never truly noticed before. In Deuteronomy 14:23, God reveals the deeper purpose behind tithing: “…that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always.”
Did you catch that? The primary reason for tithing is to teach us to fear the Lord. And as Proverbs tells us, the fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and life. So, when we tithe, it's not just an act of giving—it's a way to align our hearts with God’s wisdom and deepen our reverence for Him, unlocking the blessings of understanding and life.
