We can look around us and see the collapse of society. We don’t know how much longer it will be.

Here we go. Leviticus 1:1. Now is the time the Lord called Moses. God is instructing him to teach the nation of Israel. They are gathered at Mount Sinai. And we see Hebrews 12. Some great thing is happening here. Leviticus 1:1-17 is at the time of Exodus 36-40. In this passage we see the burnt offering of the herd. A male without blemish. This is Jesus Christ. All the steps have meaning. Leviticus 1 is the Law of the burnt offering. Jesus is all of the offerings. How is Christ the burnt offering? Christ puts His hand on His head and He is offering the burnt offering. In Hebrews the offering is completely consumed by fire. Can Jesus be completely consumed by fire?

Neuroscience says consciousness comes out of the brain, but the Bible says Consciousness comes from Christ. We connect this with the three offerings in Leviticus. Christ gives the hidden manna in Revelation 2:17. We are not to drink blood but we are to drink His blood. There are no paradoxes in Scripture. Christ’s blood is Life as He defines Life. Consciousness comes from Consciousness. Life comes from Life. Without Christ there is no Life. Isaiah 53:12 tells us what He did in the Garden of Gethsemane. How does Christ die? He can’t go into corruption, so His cells don’t die.

We do get into the colt donkey, the foal that Jesus has brought to Him. Why did God choose an unridden foal donkey? Christ wants both a female donkey and her foal. In Numbers 22 there’s Balaam’s donkey and The Angel of The Lord. And now He is riding a donkey. There are connections here and you can listen for those. But who tied the donkey?
