What is the purpose of the feasts in Leviticus?

Answer 1

The book of Leviticus was designed by GOD to be the handbook for the Priests of the Jewish faith, or Levites, hence the name Leviticus. This book is primarily directed by GOD to Moses for Aaron and his sons (fellow Priests of the Jewish Faith). This book sets down the regulations intended to govern Israel in general and specifically to give regulations concerning sacrifice and worship. All of the major sacrifices are described, as well as the way the sacrifice were to be offered. All of the major festivals and holiday are presented. There are special sections devoted to the priesthood and regulations concerning ceremonial matters. THEME: The central theme of this boo is that GOD has provided a way for atonement to be made by the offering of sacrificial blood or expiation of blood. This whole system of sacrifice from earlier Books in blood sacrfice in developing faith as a foreshadowing of the blood sacrifice required of Christ Jesus in the New Testament Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The whole system ergo found its fulfillment in the shedding of Christ's blood as the one great sacrifice for the sins of the world, make Christ Jesus the Redemption and savior of the world.

Leviticus instructs on how worship is to be orderly and is to follow a regular pattern.

Key elements include: The Burnt Offering, The Grain Offering, The Thanksgiving Offering, Offerings for Unintentional Sin, Offerings for the Poor, Regulations Concerning Offerings, The Most Holy Offering for GUILT, The Consecration of the Jewish Priests (at the Tabernacle), how the Priests are to present the People's Offerings, Nahab and Abihu (Aaron's Sons) Destroyed by fire, Rules about Clean and Unclean Animals, Purification after Childbirth, Rules for Leprosy, Purification after Leprosy, Regulations concerning Bodily Discharges, The Day of Atonement for Sin (and warning to Aaron), Prohibitions against Eating Blood (Raw Meat), Sexual Perversions Forbidden, Laws of Holy Conduct, Laws against Sexual Impurity, Instructions for Priests, Eating of Holy Sacrifices, A List of Annual Festivals, Ultimate Penalty for Cursing GOD, Instruction of the Sabbatical Year and Jubilee Year, Reward and Punishment, Special Vows to GOD, and Tything.

This book was most likely written in 1220 BC. Prior to any Palestianian state, and after the coventant given to Abraham by GOD establishing the land of Israel.

The Land of Israel (Hebrew_language: אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵל‎ Eretz Yisrael) refers to the land in the southern Levantwhich the Jewish people have since Biblical times regarded as their God-given homeland. Over 3,500 years ago, according to the Bible, the Promised_Landby God_in_Judaismto the descendants of Abrahamthrough his son IsaacAnswers.comand to the Israelites, descendants of Jacob, Abraham's grandson. This land forms part of the Biblical_covenantbetween God and the Jewish people. The most precise geographical borders of the promised land are given in Exodus 23:31, which describes the borders as the Red Sea, the "Sea of the Philistines" i.e the Mediterranean, and the "River" (the Euphrates). References to the land of Israel are also made in the New_Testament, for example in Matthew 2:19-21. The actual political boundaries of the land have fluctuated from time to time and the land has been referred to by other names over time. At its maximum extent, during the height of David'sunited Kingdom_of_Israel_(united_monarchy),Answers.comAnswers.comit corresponded approximately to present-day State_of_Israel, the Palestinian_territories, the western part of Jordanand the southern part of Lebanon; at other times it embraced only the area around Jerusalem.

Israel is most accurately detailed in terms of land promised by GOD, as:

Exodus 23:31 (New International Version)

31 "I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, and from the desert to the Euphrates River. I will give into your hands the people who live in the land, and you will drive them out before you.

The Bible is also much older than the Charter to establish the United Nations, of which 25 % of the Bible is prophecy and of that 25%, the greater portion has been completed. Ergo, we are nearing the end game per Matthew Chapter 24, Mark Chapter 13 and Luke Chapter 21; and Revelations Chapters 6-16.

Sidebar: Leviticus is the middle Book of the Torah (Jewish), Pentateuch (Catholic) or Five Books of Moses. Applying Bible Code numerics indicate the first two books point to Leviticus and the latter two books point back to Leviticus. What is the inspired Word of GOD trying to tell us about Leviticus? Perhaps we will soon find out!?
