Hebrews 10
If I lived during the time that Leviticus was written and lived under all those religious requirements, I don’t know what I would have done. I suppose I would have been a one-man exodus. I would have been trying to escape all those requirements for being right with God and to escape the perpetual blood baths that were prevalent in those days. Then, there’s the issue of all the types of animals used in the sacrifices. If the common people had to bring individual sacrifices of a female, in today’s world of 8 billion people, I imagine it wouldn’t take long to put into extinction certain types of animals. Animal rights groups would lobby to stop it. Ecologists of today would lobby to ban sacrifices on the grounds of the “balance of nature.” And the WHO and the CDC would have a lot to say about the unhealthy status of the huge amounts of spilt blood and carcasses.
Nowadays, we understand Leviticus in hindsight after the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Today, I can only thank God that the Old Testament rules for sacrifices are done! Jesus Christ put an end to it and for that I am so thankful, “For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified. And the Holy Spirit also bears witness to us; for after saying, “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds,” then he adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.” Hebrews 10:14-17
