Tzav/Command

Vayikra 6:8 – 8:36

In 1 Sam chapters 1 & 2 we see that from this torah parsha and upcoming failure of Aaron’s sons Nadab and Avihu we see this priesthood is ultimately about a battle for our hearts our souls a battle for the priesthood. What do I mean. 

The ultimate battle for priesthood. The prophecy of the two priesthoods, one birthed in shame that brought about a great deal pain. 

Today there is so much shame and pain and it is something that stalks the generations and stalks the heart of man until he becomes transferred to another priesthood. 

Sin’s origin is always unaddressed pain, it always brings uncountable shame and results in unlimited pain. Don’t get stuck in a cycle of addiction and brokenness.  

One priesthood was birthed from sin, another was birthed from covenant fidelity.

One brings a ministry of shame.

The other brings a ministry of reconciliation. 

1 Sam 2:35 I will raise up for myself a fatihful priest, who will do according to what is in my heart and mind. I will firmly establish his house (a different line) and he will minister before my Messiah always.

Just as with Aaron and his two sons Nadab and Abihu, in the Torah we find in the Prophets another wicked priesthood comes from Eli and his two sons Hophni and Phinehas.

One Priesthood operates outside of the carnal realm.

One priesthood operates in a carnal realm.

If we fail in either priesthood to abide by the covenant then the ark is removed!

Our heart.

An earthly Ark.

Aarons sons and Eli’s sons stood outside the Tabernacle and waited for the carnal pleasures of the flesh.

It’s the flesh that wrecks the priesthood. 

Once the ark is removed the presence of the Living Elohim is no longer present.

We need to keep our faith and connection to יהוה ignited. And that happens by being committed to the ordination of the priesthood daily in our lives. 

Phineaus’ wife cried out in her death throws, ‘the kavod of YHWH has departed.’  

YHWH”s house under a Levitical administration of Torah: Phineaus’s wife proclaims YHWH’s kavod left Shiloh.

Yehezkel proclaims YHWH’s Kavod left the First Temple.

Yahusha and the writer of Hebrews proclaim the destruction of the Second Temple, in- fact the Second Temple didn’t ever have an ark!

The greater priesthood takes you right into the heart of the Tabernacle to hear the very voice of YHWH. One Priesthood could not constrain it’s wicked sons the second priesthood sets aside the first (Heb 7) and ushers in a new Spirit anointing but it must be tended to daily, it must crush the flesh and keep the heart malleable and supple toward יהוה and quick to address sin. 

The lesser priesthood had its arm (right to rule) cut off.

But the greater priesthood is under the same charge and will suffer the same judgement if we do not slay sin. 

Matt 5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Meaning if you fall into sin and do not address it immediately you will lose your right to rule – it will be cut off. 

The greater priesthood shall be elevated daily, do according to YHWH’s heart, be a sure house and walk with Messiah forever (1 Sam 2:35). 

If you are trying to keep Torah today under a Levitical administration then realize you have no authority! In- fact the Scripture doesn’t provide a Levitical option for you when you’re in Yahusha!

Look at our service and approach to YHWH through prayer and sacrifice.

The law of the sin offering (Lev. 6:21…the metaphor) if we just touch Yahusha we shall be holy: and when there is sprinkling of His blood upon our fleshly garments we are holy.

Lev 6:27 But the earthen vessel wherein it is sodden shall be broken: and if it be sodden in a brasen pot, it shall be both scoured, and rinsed in water.

The earthen wear vessel/and it’s appearance in the Brit Chadasha: It represents the body of man, which was formed from the earth/dust. 

Why do you think it had to be broken? 

When the earthen vessel absorbs a prohibited substance it must be broken, likewise when you and I absorb a prohibited substance/sin it can only be atoned for when our hearts become broken through teshuvah.

Ma’aseh Schlichim 9:15 But the Master vuvh said to him (Ananias the talmid in Damascus), Arise and go: for he is a chosen vessel to Me, to bear My Name before the nations, and melechim, and the children of Yisrael:16 For I will show him how many great things he must suffer for My Name’s sake.

Romiya 9:21 O man, who are you that replies and talks back to vuvh? Shall the thing formed say to Him that formed it, Why have you made me this way 21 Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel to honor, and another to dishonor?

22 What if vuvh, willing to show His wrath, and to make His power known, endured with much patience the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction.

23 And that He might make known the riches of His tifereth on the vessels of rachamim, that He had prepared beforehand for tifereth, 24 Even us, whom He has called, not of the Yahudim only, but also of the nations?

1 Thess 4:4 Each of you should know how to posses his own vessel in sanctification

2 Cor 4:7 Speaks of us having treasure in earthen vessels, the power of YHWH given to us through the altar sacrifice of Moshiach.

We need to put in the boundary stones into our life, we need to set up customs in our homes. Customs practiced become law. Practice bible customs in your home daily at specific boundary stone times on the clock that are immovable and you will white wash the sin away by doing bible things daily, customs that will permeate and fire up your altar – heart for יהוה. 

Our daily customs which become law would include the application using analogy and metaphor of:

1. The Tamid/Continuous offering: 2 sheep put upon the altar continually as an Olah.
2. The am offering, at the third hour/Minchah.
3. The pm offering, at the ninth hour/Maariv. 

Along with the Tamid offering they offered a Minchah and a Libation of wine. 

The altar speaks to the believers heart, so the requirement to have the fire burning continually on the altar demonstrates that our hearts should be kept continually aflame, through prayer and petitions, custom and tradition which becomes the family LAW. 

It puts traction on the ground. You have to put the horsepower to the ground to get the race car going its called pound feet of torque. 

Custom becomes Law. Put your power down to the paths of righteousness. 

Tehillim 55:16 As for me, I will call upon Eloheim, and YHWH will save me. Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice.

Ma’aseh Schlichim 3:1 (A lame man healed) Now Kepha and Yochannon went up together to the Beit Ha Mikdesh at the hour of prayer, the Maariv, the ninth hour.

Tehillim 141:2 Let my prayer be set before you as incense, The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Yeshayahu 56:7The sons of the ger, that join themselves to vuvh, to serve Him, and to love the Name of vuvh, to be His avadim, every person that guards the Shabbat from polluting it, and takes hold of My brit; 7 Even them will I bring to My kadosh mountain, and make them full of simcha in My Beit-Tefillah: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon My altar; for My Bayit shall be called a Beit-Tefillah for all the nations.

Daniel 9:20 And while I was still speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Yisrael, and presenting my supplication before vuvh my tvkt for the kadosh mountain of my tvkt; 21 Yes, while I was still speaking in tefillah, even the man Gavriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, came close to me and touched me, around the time of the maariv(evening/ninth hour/ 3pm) offering. 22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniyel, I am now come forth to give you skill and binah. 23 At the beginning of your supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to explain things to you; for you are greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. 24 Seventy weeks are determined upon your people and upon your kadosh city.

Gilyahnah 5:8 And when He had taken the scroll, the four creatures and the twenty-four zechanim (24 courses of elders of the Malki-Tzedik priesthood) fell down before the Lamb, having each one of them harps, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the tefillot of Yisraelite kidushim. 9 And they sang a renewed shir, saying, You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals.

 The fragrance is an illustration of the prayer of the saints that go into the nostrils of YHWH, a sweet fragrance, a privilege done in conjunction with the lamb, that qualifies us to come, through the Malki lamb, before the mercy seat of YHWH to offer prayer and worship.
