The Fiery Wrath of God

                               Leviticus 7:11-37 KJB

The peace offering covered the sin offering, the burnt offering, and all the other offerings because it meant that a sinner could find peace with God through any of the priests' offerings that the sinner brought to God. Leviticus 7:37 (KJB). But whatever type of offering a person made, he had to offer it with an attitude of thanksgiving for the peace that God would give him. Leviticus 7:12 (KJB). He had to offer unleavened cakes and wafers to the priest because a holy God had granted him peace with Him. Leviticus 7:12 (KJB). But he also had to offer leavened bread with the cakes and wafers. Leaven is a type for sin. He made this offer to God because he was thankful that God would forgive his sins even though he remained a sinner who could not avoid committing sins. Leviticus 7:13; I John 1:8-10 (KJB).

The peace offering also applied whenever the priest made a sin offering. The priests always ate a roasted part of the sin offering. This symbolized the fact that a person could find immediate peace with God through the sin offering. Leviticus 7:15; John 5:24 (KJB). But that same person who had committed his life to God could also find daily peace with God as he daily confessed his sins. Leviticus 7:16; I John 1:9 (KJB). The remainder of the sin offering had to be burnt on the third day. This symbolized the fact that the Spirit of Jesus descended into Hell to leave behind there all of the sins, evil, and spiritual deaths of all humans not saved by grace, and He completed the burnt offering salvation when He rose from Hell to reanimate the perfect body of Jesus who rose from the dead victorious over all sins, evil, spiritual deaths, and the Devil. Leviticus 7:17; Psalm 16:10-11; Acts 2:25-31; I Peter 3:18; II Peter 3:9-13; Revelation 1:17-18 (KJB).

But if any of the sin offering should be eaten on the third day, that would be a sin because it would be a denial of God's power to forgive because of the sin offering. Leviticus 7:18 (KJB). Any person who made a sin offering in any kind of ritualistic or pro forma way without sincere repentance would commit a sin, and he would "bear his iniquity" and "be cut off from his people," but he would not lose his burnt offering salvation. God knows exactly how to cause every living human that He ever created to sincerely repent of their sins and put their faith in Christ their Savior either while alive in the flesh or confined to the regions of death. Leviticus 7:18-21; John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB).

God then commanded the Israelites to never eat the raw flesh or the raw blood of an animal. The blood of the clean animal had to be poured out at the altar as a sin offering, and the flesh had to be eaten when roasted and the rest had to be burnt in the fire as a burnt offering. To eat raw flesh or raw blood would be a sin because that person would be trying to put his faith in a solely material or physical salvation without any regard for his soul and his spirit. Salvation always happens first in the soul and spirit, and the physical salvation happens later in God's various resurrections including Christ's final resurrection. Leviticus 7:22-27 (KJB).

A person who brought an animal for a burnt offering would do so because he had faith that God would forgive his sins. The priests would always eat a part of the roasted flesh before it was completely burned in the fire. This symbolized that all humans will be saved from spiritual death because God will cause them all to be saved by eating the spiritual flesh of Christ that the Holy Spirit roasted in the fires of Hell. Leviticus 7:28-36; John 6:51; John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14; Acts 2:25-31; II Timothy 1:10; I Timothy 4:10; II Peter 3:9-13 (KJB).
