8 - February 21

(Readings Feb 14-Feb 20)

8. A Holy Nation
portions of Exodus and Deuteronomy

Focus:
Our study today focuses on the religious and ceremonial laws of the Mosaic Law (DB pages 219-245).

Key Point:
This section teaches the holiness of God. He may be approached through feasts of national worship and offerings made by a priest.

Key Verses:
“Consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am the LORD your God. Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the LORD who makes you holy” (Lev 20:7-8).

Outline:
I. Religious and Ceremonial Laws
    A. Laws against idolatry and paganism
    B. Laws against false spiritualists
    C. Laws regarding blasphemy
    D. Laws requiring dedications
    E. Laws requiring tithing
    F. Special instructions for conquest
    G. Special feasts
        1. Passover and Feast of the Unleavened Bread
        2. Feast of Weeks (Harvest or Firstfruits, later known as Pentecost)
3. Feast of Trumpets ( known as Rosh Hashanah – New Year’s Day)
        4. Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)
        5. Feast of Tabernacles (Booth or Ingathering)


Thought Questions:

1.    What purpose did each feast and offering serve? (use the above list for reference)

2.    Since God is more concerned with the heart and inward devotion, why does He command the establishment of these external feasts and offerings?

3.    What is the importance of the phrase “the life of the flesh is in the blood”?

4.    Why do you think God required priests as mediators for the offerings?

5.    What is the symbolic importance of these feasts and offerings regarding Christ?

6.    Since we no longer live under the old law, what are the lessons for us from this section?
