What is the theme of Leviticus?

What this world doesn't know, understand... or believe [ even ifanyone should bother to read it ]... is that when the LORD andKING Jesus Christ returns to earth to establish H…is Kingdom upon it-- He's going to OPEN THE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE TO JUDGEIT! "He that rejecteth Me, and receive not My Words [ the Words ofGod that are recorded in the books of the Bible... including thebook of LEVITICUS ], hath One that JUDGETH HIM: THE WORDTHAT I HAVE SPOKEN [ and caused or inspired to berecorded ], THE SAME SHALL JUDGE HIM IN THE LASTDAY ... the Father WHICH SENT ME, He gave me a Commandment,WHAT I SHOULD SAY, and WHAT I SHOULD SPEAK..." (John 12:48-49). Jesus Christ and the saints that His Father have been calling outof the world throughout the generations of man ARE GOING TORULE OVER, LEAD and JUDGE THE WORLD during the King'sthousand year rule: " Do ye not know [ Paul wrote to the called-outsaints in Corinth: and subsequently to you and I if we regardourselves among God's 'church' or 'called-out-ones' who shall rulethe nations of the world with a 'rod of iron' -- anyone who mayread and believe those same Words inspired and recorded in theBible for us today ] THAT THE SAINTS SHALL JUDGE THEWORLD? ... Know ye not that WE SHALL JUDGEANGELS? ..." (I Cor.6:2-3). All of the works of men throughout man's generations AREGOING TO BE JUDGED AND MEASURED AGAINST THE WORDS OF GOD THAT ARERECORDED IN THE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE! "...I saw the [ resurrected ] dead, small and great, standbefore God; and THE BOOKS [ of the Bible ] WERE OPENED ... and the dead WERE JUDGED OUT OFTHOSE THINGS WHICH WERE WRITTEN IN THE BOOKS [ just asJesus reveals to His servants in John 6 ], according to THEIRWORKS [ all men's works... all the things every man has done inhis life... shall be judged by the Words recorded in theBible ]." (Rev.20: And it will be Jesus Christ AND HIS SAINTS who will do the Judgingand Teaching and Leading of the nations for a thousand years: Jesus Christ: "...hast made us unto our God [ theFather ] KINGS and PRIESTS : and WE SHALLREIGN ON THE EARTH ." (Rev.5:10) So, what does this have to do with THE THEME OFLEVITICUS? Well... the tribe of Levi was set aside by Godas HIS PRIESTHOOD to minister and administer His Laws, Ways andTeachings to and among His people. "...the LORD [ Jesus Christ; the Creator God of the Old Testament- John 1:3 ] spake unto Aaron, 'Thou shalt have NO INHERITANCEin their land [ the Promised Land of the other tribes ],neither shalt thou have ANY PART AMONG THEM: I AM thy part andthine inheritance among the children of Israel. And, behold, I HAVEGIVEN THE CHILDREN OF LEVI ALL THE TENTH [ tithe ] IN ISRAELFOR AN INHERITANCE, FOR THIER SERVICE WHICH THEY SERVE, EVENTHE SERVICE OF THE TABERNACLE OF THE CONGREGATION ... the Levites shall DO THE SERVICE OF THE TABERNACLE OF THECONGREGATION ..." (Num.18:20-21). In the same way, God's saints shall become the new KINGS, PRIESTSand LEADERS of God and Christ's newly established Government whoshall MINISTER and ADMINISTER GOD'S LAWS, WAYS AND TEACHINGS to thepeople of ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD... and they will do itIN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF GOD RECORDED IN THE BOOK OFLEVITICUS! "...the saints of the Most High shall take the Kingdom, and possessthe Kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever." (Dan.7:18) "...the Ancient of Days [ Jesus Christ ] came, and Judgment was GIVEN TO THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH ;and the time came that THE SAINTS POSSESSED THEKINGDOM ." (verse 22) "...the God of heaven SET UP A KINGDOM, which shall NEVER BEDESTROYED: and the Kingdom shall not be left to other people, butit shall BREAK IN PIECES AND CONSUME all these kingdoms, and ITSHALL STAND FOR EVER." (Dan.2:44) "...and the Government SHALL BE UPON HIS SHOULDER;... of theincrease of His Government and PEACE THERE SHALL BE NO END, uponthe throne of David, and upon His Kingdom, to order it, and toestablish it with JUDGMENT and with JUSTICE from henceforth evenfor ever, THE ZEAL OF THE LORD OF HOSTS WILL PERFORM THIS."(Isa.9:6-7) Unlike the nations of the world today... including theunfortunately lawless, Godless leaders of the American government;the Government of God, when it is finally established on the earth,WILL BE RULED BY THE ENFORCEMENT OF GOD'S LAWS recorded in the bookof Leviticus and throughout the Bible. And the "theme" of the bookof Leviticus is THE LAWS OF GOD. These are the DIVINECONSTITUTIONAL Laws by which Christ and His saints will rule thenations of the earth: "...he that overcometh, and keepeth My works unto the end, tohim WILL I GIVE POWER OVER THE NATIONS: and he shall RULE THEM WITHA ROD OF IRON ..." (Rev.2:26-27). Halley's Bible Handbook says this about the book of"Leviticus": "The word "Leviticus" means "pertaining to Levites" ;that is, the book contains the System of Laws, administered by theLevitical Priesthood, under which the Hebrew nation lived..."( Halley's Bible Handbook / with the King JamesVersion : Classic Edition - LEVITICUS p.134). But... as I said... the world doesn't know or believe any of this,and merely sees Leviticus [ and pretty much all the rest of theBible in this modern high-tech computerized world ] as ancient,outdated Jewish laws, Jewish genealogies, Jewish beddie-byestories, myths and all-around general superstitious nonsense. The world will have to wait for Christ's return to witness theTruth of the Words recorded therein; when the world will, at last,find itself being Ruled and Judged by it: "...then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven: andthen SHALL ALL THE TRIBES [ nations ] OF THE EARTH MOURN, andTHEY SHALL SEE THE SON OF MAN COMING IN THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN withPOWER AND GREAT GLORY." (Matt.24:30) "For this is the covenant that I will make with those of the Houseof Israel after those days, saith the LORD; 'I will PUT MYLAWS INTO THEIR MIND, and WRITE THEM IN THEIR HEARTS... for ALLSHALL KNOW ME, FROM THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST ..."(Heb.8:10-11). And those " Laws " that all the nations of the earth will have" written in their hearts and minds " are recorded primarilyin Leviticus... and elsewhere throughout the books. ( Full Answer )
