Humans were created to be an interface between heaven and earth. We have a purpose and it's not all about us. Unfortunately, Adam's sin in the Garden broke our connections to both heaven and earth. Now we fight daily with both just to survive.
Coincidentally, the horns on the bronze altar of the Tabernacle are material metaphors for power, authority, and connection to heaven. In some sense that we will probably never fully comprehend, they were functional, not merely decorative. The blood of the sin offering is placed on the horns (heaven) and base (earth) of the altar, temporarily fixing our connection to both.
(Pagan altars in Canaan also featured horns on the corners. Understand from this that something isn't sinful or pagan just because pagans do it.)
Leviticus 9
A strong theme from #shemini, #leviticus 9:1-11:47:
Lev 8:1-36 {s} Consecration of the tabernacle and priesthood
Lev 9:1-10:7 {p} Offerings on the 8th day / Nadab, Abihu consumed
Lev 8:1-36 is not part of this week’s parashah, but it is part of the strong theme which concludes with Lev 9:1-10:7. As I was meditating on how these two paragraphs are connected, and why God considers Lev 8:1-36 and Lev 9:1-10:7 facets of the same topic, I realized that just as the ceremony consecrated Aaron and his sons into the priesthood, so the fire that went out from YHVH, consuming Nadab and Abihu, consecrated the priesthood. It eliminated the dross from the sons of Aaron. Nadab and Abihu did not sufficiently regard the holiness of YHVH whom they were serving.
The end result was, the fear of YHVH, the beginning of wisdom, came upon the Aaronic priesthood, which preserved both YHVH’s instructions as He gave them, and the lives of the priests.
Thought for Today: Thursday March 24:
Grow strong in the Light of YHVH’s Presence. Your weakness does not repel Him. On the contrary, it attracts His Power, which is always available to flow into a yielded heart. Do not condemn yourself for your constant need of help. Instead, come to YHVH with your gaping neediness and let the Light of His Love fill you. A yielded heart does not whine or rebel when the going gets tough. It musters the courage to thank YHVH even during hard times. Yielding yourself to His Will is ultimately an act of trust. Remember, in quietness and trust is your strength.
This is how much they fear your prayers. The people of God will have the last dance.

The final offerings in the sanctification of the priests in Leviticus 9 are for repentance (sin and trespass offerings), surrender (burnt offering), ministry (grain and oil offering), and fellowship (peace offering).
Repentance+surrender+ministry+fellowship = Coming of the Glory of God.
The sacrifices in #leviticus 9 weren't arbitrary. They were specific and functional. Each one serves a different purpose. #shmini
Happy preparation day to everyone. The Most High bless you all.
Passover is about redemption, freedom from bondage. It's about Yeshua!
Enjoy this Passover teaching: "Only by the Blood of the Lamb" (link in comments).
