Just as the laws of a leprous person aren't about Hansen's Disease, the laws of a leprous house in Leviticus 14 aren't about mold. Read the passage carefully. Mold doesn't fit the description.
Then the priest shall command that they empty the house before the priest goes to examine the disease, lest all that is in the house be declared unclean. And afterward the priest shall go in to see the house.
Leviticus 14:36
When your house is infected with tzaraat (leprosy possibly caused by evil speech), the only remedy is to empty the house and examine every part of your life in full public view. Without confession and repentance, there is no remission of sin.
If a house (or a person!) cannot be cleansed of spiritual disease, then it must be permanently separated from the rest of God's people, sometimes by total destruction.
Leviticus 14:45
In the ritual for cleansing a leper in Leviticus 14:5-7, one bird is killed and bled, while the second is dipped in the blood and set free. This is thematically connected to several other concepts and passages in the Bible.
-The one is #yeshua and the second is you and me. By his death we are cleansed from spiritual uncleanness and set free.
-Both birds are also metaphorically the same bird, and we are that bird. We must die to who we were and be resurrected into the freedom of #yeshua, dead to sin and "cleansed from all unrighteousness".
-Yeshua is also both birds, in that he shed his blood and died for us, but also rose from the grave and ascended to Heaven.
-The two birds are very similar to the two goats of Yom Kippur. One goat is killed and one goat is sent into the wilderness.
