The Old Testament Offerings part seven

 In Leviticus 6:8-13, God informs all humans that the burnt offering symbolizes God's salvation of every living human who does not get saved by grace. The priest put on linen clothes which symbolized the purity of Christ. He recovered the ashes from the burnt offering and put them in a clean place. This action of the priest symbolized that God will use His fiery wrath against sin and evil to dissolve every living human not saved by grace, recover their "ashes" which symbolized the elements of their good and living natures, and put their "ashes" in a clean place which symbolized that God will recover their good elements for Him to recreate to live on His recreated earth. The priest changed his clothes before he carried the ashes to a clean place which symbolized that God will recreate every living human not saved by grace with the earthly righteousness that He gave to Adam and Eve. I Corinthians 15:40. God commanded the priest to never let the fire go out which symbolized the eternal lake of fire that will forever burn the dead and evil natures of all humans who do not get saved by grace. II Peter 3:9-13; Psalm 75:3; I Corinthians 3:11-15.

God commanded that other types of offerings be made by the priests, but they all were directly connected to the sin offerings and the burnt offerings which alone God gave for the forgiveness of sins. The meal offering was made without leaven, which symbolized sin, and with salt, which symbolized God's preservation of every living human that He creates and loves. The absence of leaven symbolized the purity of Christ which is absolutely necessary for the salvation of all living humans. God commanded that salt be added to every sin and burnt offering to symbolize that God will preserve the living souls and spirits of all humans. Leviticus 2:1-16; Psalm 36:6; Mark 9:49-50. God commanded the priests to eat some of the meal offering and some of the other types of offerings to symbolize that all living humans who spiritually partake of the blood and water that Christ shed on the cross will obtain salvation by grace, and all living humans who partake of Christ while confined to the regions of death will obtain a living resurrection for God to recreate to live on His recreated earth. Matthew 26:26-28; John 6:53-58; John 6:63; Hebrews 2:9; Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 21:1-5.

God commanded that the priests make a peace offering in connection with both the sin offerings and the burnt offerings to symbolize the peace and joy that God will give to all living humans saved by grace and to all living, resurrected humans whom He will recreate to live righteous lives on His recreated earth. John 14:27; Revelation 21:1-5.

God commanded that the priests make a trespass offering in connection with both the sin offering and the burnt offering to symbolize the fact that any sin against one's fellow human is also a sin against God. Leviticus 5:1-19; Leviticus 6:1-7. Most trespass sins were done through ignorance which meant that the weak, living nature of humans sinned because of the influence of their evil natures. But God will turn even a cruel and deliberate sin, which is wholly evil, into a sin of weakness if a person truly repents and begs God for forgiveness. I Timothy 1:15; I Corinthians 6:9-11; Luke 22:61-62. But all that is wholly evil in humans, which is spiritual death, God will separate from all living humans in the end of the world, and He will cast it all into the lake of fire because it never repents. Matthew 12:31-32; John 16:7-11; Matthew 13:36-43; Matthew 15:13; Hebrews 2:9-15; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:8; Revelation 22:11-12. Jesus' prayer to His Father from the cross in Luke 23:34 ensures that God will forgive every sinner who repents of their sins that nailed Jesus to the cross, and God will eventually cause all living humans to repent and believe. But that deliberate evil that the Devil injected into the inner beings of every human that attempts to murder God on the cross and never repents, God will separate from every living human in the end of the world and cast those spiritual deaths into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15; Matthew 12:31-32; John 12:31-32; I John 3:8.
