The Fiery Wrath of God

                                 Leviticus 4:12 KJB

The entire fourth chapter of Leviticus relates how a sin offering or a burnt offering could be made for any individual Israelite or for the whole congregation. Any individual Israelite could request that a sacrifice of a bullock be made for the forgiveness of his sins. A priest, a ruler, or even a common person could make such a request, and their sins would be forgiven for either the sin offering or the burnt offering. Leviticus 4:20; Leviticus 4:35 (KJB).

But this chapter also makes clear that only sins of ignorance could be forgiven through a sin offering or a burnt offering. A sin of ignorance happens when a person who believes in God becomes overpowered by temptation and falls into sin. Numbers 15:29 (KJB). God creates all humans in His image and His goodness, and therefore, every human possesses faith in God within the good nature of their inner beings. Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 1:31 (KJB). But when Adam sinned, the Devil gained the right to inject a dead and evil nature into every human who would ever be born. Genesis 2:17; Matthew 13:37-38; Matthew 15:13; Genesis 3:15 (KJB). The seed planted by the Devil is against the seed planted by the woman. All atheists, and even some believers who act like atheists, subdue their inner faith to the extent that they will commit willful and deliberate evil acts because of their inner rebellion against God caused by their inner dead nature. They do not become overpowered by temptation. They plan their evil acts. They deliberately do evil in defiance of God's laws. These types of sins God will never forgive because they are totally evil and never seek forgiveness. Numbers 15:30-31; Matthew 12:31-32 (KJB). But God is forever merciful, and when any sinner repents of their evil sins and returns to an active faith in God, then God's compassion is engendered, and He will turn their evil acts into sins of ignorance, and He will forgive them. Matthew 12:31-32; Ephesians 4:17-18; I Timothy 1:12-13 (KJB).

Because God's mercy happens to be everlasting, and He can never lose anything He has ever created to evil or the Devil, and His Love can never fail, God has created a plan whereby He will save from eternal death the good natures of every human He will ever create because He loves them. His Son sacrificed Himself on a cross to take the sins, evil, and spiritual deaths of every living human on Himself and suffered them in their place so that He could rise from the dead victorious over all sins, evil, spiritual deaths, and the Devil. Ecclesiastes 3:14; Psalm 111:7-8; I John 2:2; Revelation 1:17-18; I John 3:8 (KJB). Jesus came to destroy the works of the Devil, not any of His living humans. Luke 20:38 (KJB). The Holy Spirit will save by His grace every human who ever repents and returns to an active faith in Christ while still alive in the flesh. John 5:24; John 3:3 (KJB). But the Holy Spirit also made a burnt offering sacrifice for all living humans when He descended into Hell to leave behind there all of the sins, evil, and spiritual deaths of all living humans who did not become saved by grace. Jesus made the sin offering, and the Holy Spirit made the burnt offering. Because He is pure and holy, the Holy Spirit rose immaculate from the regions of death to reanimate the perfect body of Jesus who rose from the grave triumphant over all sins, evil, spiritual deaths, and the Devil. I John 3:8; Revelation 1:17-18; Acts 2:25-31; Psalm 16:10-11 (KJB). Revelation 1:17-18 relates that Jesus gained an absolute and complete victory over the Devil because if He has the keys of Hell and death, then He has gained all power over them. In the end of the world, Christ will appear to all of His living humans confined to the regions of death and those on the earth, and He will cause them all to repent and return to faith in Him as their Savior so that He can use His fiery wrath against evil to separate their repentant, good and living natures from their dead and evil natures so that He can recreate their living natures to live forever on His recreated earth, and He will cast their unrepentant and dead natures into an eternal lake of fire. Revelation 5:11-14; II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:11-15; Revelation 21:1-5 (KJB).

Leviticus 4:12, in connection with all of the fourth chapter of Leviticus, happens to be a prophecy that Christ will suffer outside the camp both a sin offering and a burnt offering for the forgiveness and salvation of all living humans that God has created in His image. Hebrews 13:10-12; I Timothy 4:10 (KJB). God forgives sins and evil because of the burnt offering just as He does for the sin offering. Leviticus 4:17-20; Leviticus 4:26; Genesis 3:20-21; Genesis 8:20-21 (KJB).
