The cleansing of a leper involves blood, wood, scarlet, water, and hyssop. Where else do we see these same elements? In the plagues of Egypt and in the death of Yeshua. This isn't a coincidence.
~Moses pointed to the Covenant of Promise~
Deuteronomy 4:27-31
27 And YHWH will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where YHWH will drive you.
28 And there you will serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.
29 But from there you will seek YHWH your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
30 When you are in distress, and all these things come upon you -- in the latter days --, when you turn to YHWH your God and obey His voice (Exodus 20→ Deuteronomy 4:11,12→ 5:22)
31 (for YHWH is a merciful God), He will not forsake you nor destroy you, nor forget → the covenant of your fathers ← which He swore to them.
“He will not forsake you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers”
This reminds me of what Paul said in Galatians 3:17
What I mean is this: The law that came 430 years later does not revoke the covenant previously established by God, so as to nullify the promise.” ← (The Covenant of Promise, the Covenant of their fathers)
Psalm 105:7-10
7 He is YHWH our God;
His judgments are in all the earth.
8 He remembers His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,
9 The covenant which He made with Abraham
(The Covenant of Promise)
And His oath to Isaac,
10 And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant
This IS the Covenant of your Fathers (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob)
Genesis 12: 2,3
I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
And I will curse him who curses you;
And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
Galatians 3: 16-18, 26-29
16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Messiah.
(again)
17 And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Messiah, that it should make the promise of no effect.
18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Continuing...
26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Yeshua Messiah.
27 For as many of you as were baptized into Messiah have put on Messiah.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Yeshua Messiah.
29 And if you are Messiah’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Acts 3:22-26
22 For Moses truly said to the fathers, ‘YHWH your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brethren. Him you shall hear in all things, whatever He says to you.
23 And it shall be that every soul who will not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the people.’ (Exodus 18:15-19)
24 Yes, and all the prophets, from Samuel and those who follow, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these days.
25 You are sons of the prophets, and of the covenant ~>which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’
26 To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Yeshua, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.”
THE SEED IS THE COVENANT GIVEN:
Isaiah 42:6 (also in Isaiah 49:8)
6 “I, YHWH, have called You in righteousness,
And will hold Your hand;
I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people,
As a light to the Gentiles,
7 To open blind eyes,
To bring out prisoners from the prison,
Those who sit in darkness from the prison house.”
Thank you Father for sending us Your Word, Messiah, to redeem us (for “WHOSOEVER believes”) to open our blind eyes, setting us free from captivity and bringing us into the Covenant of our Fathers (We’ve been adopted!- Ephesians 1:5) by Messiah’s blood!

If you want to understand this insanity by the LGBTQ+ crowd, just think about the advice that Balaam son of Beor gave the midianites. It's essentially the same thing. Worship LGBTQ+ or else!

God has embedded multiple teaching tools in the Bible to help communicate His message. He wants to be understood, but He does not throw His pearls before swine (Mat 7:6). His gold and silver requires some digging, but treasure can be unearthed for those willing to look for it (Pro 2:1-6). All of the Bible’s teaching tools are introduced in the first chapter of Genesis, so that once learned, they can then be used to study the rest of the book. Three of the most common teaching tools are:
Plain meaning of the text. God’s Word means what it appears to mean, upon the simple reading of an accurately translated text.
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Gen 1:1
Our universe is a product of special design by an intelligent Creator, and not a product of random chance.
And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. Gen 1:31
Since evening and morning occur in every 24-hour cycle of time, God completed His creation in six 24-hour days, and not six eons of time.
Hebrew paragraph divisions. God’s paragraph divisions, when He has concluded one topic and is ready to go on to the next, are present in the original Hebrew of the Scripture. These divisions have been preserved by the Hebrew scribes who faithfully copied every letter of the Bible without variation. They were discarded by the English translators, because admittedly, they sometimes do not make sense to human logic. But that is the point, God has divided His paragraphs the way He has because He is trying to teach us something we could not discover by human logic. Where the paragraph divisions aren’t are often just as telling as where they are.
There are two kinds – a weak division and a strong division. We mark the strong divisions with {p} since the Hebrew word for it begins with the ‘p’ sound. The strong division indicates a new topic.
Gen 1:1-31 Hebrew paragraph divisions
Gen 1:1-5 {p} First day of Creation: space, time, matter, energy (light)
Gen 1:6-8 {p} Second day of Creation: firmament of the heavens
Gen 1:9-13 {p} Third day of Creation: dry land, plant life
Gen 1:14-19 {p} Fourth day of Creation: lights in the firmament of the heavens
Gen 1:20-23 {p} Fifth day of Creation: birds, sea life
Gen 1:24-31 {p} Sixth day of Creation: animal life on land, man
The divisions highlight that the days of Creation are significant. This teaching tool is a second witness to a recent creation, for there are Hebrew words for other lengths of time, such as years or eons, if those units of time were meant. But God chose the Hebrew yom – “day” – the regular 24-hour day. A day as a unit of time, is one of the few that do not depend on the sun, moon, or stars for marking it. The 24-hour day is the time it takes for the earth to revolve on its axis one revolution; no sun or moon is needed.
Patterns and repetition. The Bible often establishes patterns in the narrative. The repetition draws our attention to the fact that it cannot be coincidence; therefore God is trying to make a point about something.
One of the first patterns in Gen 1 is the repeating phrase, “God saw that it was good.”
And God saw the light, that it was good … Gen 1:4, in the first day.
… and God saw that it was good. Gen 1:12, in the third day.
And God saw that it was good. Gen 1:18b, in the fourth day.
… and God saw that it was good. Gen 1:21b, in the fifth day.
And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. Gen 1:31a, in the sixth day.
God marked every day “good,” that is, not characterized by disease, predation, or death. It is a completely opposite narrative to the one told by darwinism, that Creation happened through the agency of disease, predation, and death.
Sometimes the pattern previously established is broken, to draw attention to the break. The above pattern breaks in the second day, where God marks nothing good. The Hebrew scholars say it is because on the second day, an angel rebelled against God, earning his new name, “satan,” meaning adversary. We can read about the war in heaven begun on the second day, in Rev 12:7-9.

Galatians is the "go-to" book when it comes to countering trying to follow the Father's commands post-Christ's-resurrection. Many of its verses are taken out of context due to the difficulty of how to read Galatians. Just as Peter warns, Paul is very difficult to read in this book and you can easily turn to Law-lessness by misunderstanding his words. This is what those that are using this book to counter following the commands are doing.
In the comic I provide three illustrations of things to look out for in Galatians. If we keep the whole book in context, reading it from front to back, and keeping the book itself in context of the rest of the Bible; we have these three main points that Paul is talking about in Galatians.
1) Slavery/living like Jews/circumcision party - Words like this, Paul is point to all the EXTRA laws that were put in place in Judaism. He talks about this specifically in verse 1:14. He speaks out against Peter for falling back into these extra laws in 2:11-14. Paul closes out Galatians talking about those who promote these extra laws and point out that they don't even keep God's Law, which is reminiscent of Jesus' words in Mark 7 and Stephen's words in Acts 7.
2) Freedom in Christ - Taking off the man-made bondage of the last point, we have freedom in Christ to follow His example. We have the freedom to follow the Law, which is liberty, which is of the Spirit, which talks against doing the works of the Flesh. Those works of the Flesh that put us in a different bondage, the bondage of sin.
3) Works of the Law - Most importantly, when Paul is talking of works of the Law, he is referring to it in a legalistic sense. Doing things because you have to. Doing things to check off a mark. "Oh hey, I didn't commit adultery today, even though I wanted to. God will surely be proud of me". Didn't even out parents teach us to not do things by the letter only? How many of us when having to apologize were told that "just saying sorry" isn't good enough? Sure, saying sorry, you kept the commandment of your parents, but that wasn't their intention. You are doing the work of the letter only because you have to - being legalistic. Just like our parent's commands, God's commands work the same way. If you think you are going to save yourself, make yourself righteous, or anything down this line of thinking by trying to keep the commands to the letter on your own - you'll never make it as you will stumble.
Galatians 5:22-23 ESV But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; AGAINST such things THERE IS NO LAW. (i.e. The Law is not against the Spirit)
