Becoming and Existing as Priests of God-Thoughts and Reflections on Torah Reading 91

Greetings beloved of Yehovah on this steamy, but beautiful Sabbath here in the DFW.

This week’s Torah Reading is the 91st Reading of the 3-year reading cycle. It is contained in the 21st Chapter of the Book of Leviticus and entails the exclusive and exceeding righteous requirements for becoming and existing as a Levitical Priest of Yehovah.

As we did last Shabbat, we dug into our archives and are bringing to you this week a teaching I did on this reading about 3 years ago entitled “Living the Life of a Priest of God.”

I think the content of this teaching and of this reading, despite there being no actively operating Levitical Priesthood, is very much relevant and applicable today. This so-called woke and inclusive society zeitgeist that seems to have captured the hearts and imaginations of both liberal and conservative souls alike, has served to erase from the minds and hearts of society the cruciality of holiness, righteousness, and obedience to a moral people.

The inception of the Levitical Priesthood was that it would be an exceedingly righteous intermediary/intercessory entity between the Creator of the Universe and His set-apart people. Consequently, in order for this entity to properly fulfill its intermediary/intercessory role, the order had to be holy in every facet of its being, just as Yehovah is holy. There was to be no compromise.

As is the case with almost every aspect of Torah, the Levitical Priesthood serves as an example of the exceeding righteousness that our Master Yahoshua Messiah is requiring of His disciples in order for them to serve Him and His coming Kingdom. Being Kingdom-minded and bound, we as Yah’s chosen ones are destined to be a Kingdom of Priests (Revelation 1:6; 5:10). Contrary to the thinking of most, however, our training to fill that role in Yah’s coming Kingdom begins NOW! And what better time than in the here and now to study and learn of the exacting and exceeding righteous requirements of being a set-apart priest of the Holy One of Yisra’el?

So, I pray that this replay of my teaching on this Torah Portion will not only bless you but equip us all to assume our destiny in the Malchut Elohim.

Until next time beloved, may you be most blessed fellow saints in training. Shabbat Shalom!
