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
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).

Our heavenly Father you are Lord of Lord and King of Kings. You have placed rulers over us in accordance with your divine and perfect wisdom and knowledge. We pray for the legal case President Trump is bringing against Hillary Clinton regarding his alleged collusion with Russia. We also pray for the cases now proceeding against Hunter Biden. We also pray for our neighbors in Ukraine facing an attack from unrighteous Russian aggressors. Only you are the one true god and you have given your son, our Lord authority over all these things, to the best of our understanding. May your honor and glory become apparent to us in these matters. All honor and Glory is yours and we praise you our god!
