1 | Exodus 29:20 - How does this apply to me | Heb 9:18 | STUDENT7300 | 90235 | ||
Dear mkp98, This is an excellent question that you've posed. But I believe that the Scriptures do have an answer for you. It says in Hebrews 9:18-22 that God used blood to dedicate everything in the Old Testament. And so Aaron and his sons were dedicated to God with blood as everything else was (Exo. 29:12,16; Lev. 16:14-16). And blood was placeD on theIR right body parts to symbolize to the Jews, the right side was the side of strength. (And we know that Christ is at the right hand of God today!) The application for you and I today from this passage is that our dedication is much more superior than this ever was. We are sprinkled with the blood of Jesus! (Hebrews 12:18-24; I Pe. 1:2).Our HEARTS are sprinkled clean not our exterior body parts (Heb. 10:22). The priesthood that we belong to is a spiritual one, with spiritual symbols and sacrifices. And JESUS is our High Priest. (See Heb. 13:10-16; I Pe. 2:4,5,9). Please don't get entangled too much with the details of the sacrifices and the Levitical priesthood. Christ has fulfilled all of this for us! Some of those ceremonies have a specific meaning for us, like the Passover. Others just have general information that is now obsolete. I hope this sheds a little light into your question. Blessings! STUDENT 7300 |

2 | where does it say that we will go to hea | John 6:40 | STUDENT7300 | 83508 | ||
Dear VideoThing, Please realize that our going to heaven is just the beginning of the wonderful things that our Lord has in store for us. The is also the Millinnial (1000 year) Reign of Christ that we will all share in! Moreover where our soul goes when we die is not a prominent theme of the Bible because God never meant for us to focus on that, but rather on His soon coming Kingdom (the 1000 years)! Nevertheless, Paul suggests our souls going to heaven in several places I Thess. 4:14; 2 Cor. 5:5-9; Phil. 1:23. There is also Rev. 6:9-11. I referenced John 6:40 for you to point to the overwhelming emphasis of the Bible--the believer's resurrection! This is when our souls will be reunited with new immortal bodies that will enjoy God's blessings forever (See I Cor. 2:9). Blessings! STUDENT7300 |

3 | I need help in Lamentations 1:20-22 | Lam 1:1 | STUDENT7300 | 83209 | ||
This is a common literary techinque of Scripture for a writer to give speech to a place or thing that normally does not have speech (See Isaiah 14:7,8; 1 Cor. 12:15,16). This is called personification. So the prophet Jeremiah is giving speech to the city of Jerusalem. And Jerusalem is agonizing over the consequences of her rebellion. Her main enemy is Babylon. And she is now praying harm on them, which prayer the Lord eventually answers after Jerusalem's 70 year captivity (See Jer. 25:12). Grace to you. Student 7300 |
