Another classic Old Testament chapter … Leviticus 26.

It presents to Israel God’s Plan of spiritual development for the whole population!

And everything is based on OBEDIENCE, acquiescing to God’s Precepts, as outlined in Scripture, the Torah.

And if that obedience is violated, spurned, ignored … there will re repercussions!

This is sort of an “Obey Me or else” Portion of God’s Word.

Through the years I recall one Bible teacher who spotted in these 46 verses several “cycles of discipline” that God would bring upon His people. That is … if they erred in following His Ways, His Instructions. With each “cycle” (seems to me) becoming more severe than the previous one!

Tomorrow, the Lord willing,, we will begin a short journey through this enlightening Unit of the Bible.

By the way, even though we are studying Old Testament Law and the Jews … the same principle still applies to us Believers in this Age of Grace!

If we disobey the Lord, He still will “chasten us,” for our own good, our benefit and for His Glory!

Part of Revelation 3:19 … “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore.” With the Lord Jesus Himself speaking!

Wow!

Leviticus 26, sounds important!

More tomorrow, the Lord willing.
