I'm currently about a third of the way through Leviticus and to say it's a trudging journey is an understatement. I have been so tempted to skip past several parts but so far I've been able to get through. This video was such a great resource to help understand the importance of what I'm reading and to help motite me to keep going. My goal is to read the Bible front to back and it's been a saving grace finding this and similar videos along the way..
I agree. I am reading the entire Bible to, and I don’t want to rush through and/or skip over things. The video has added additional depth and understanding to my reading and studying.
"Strange fire" translates to "unauthorized fire", so what we know is that Nadab and Abihu thought they could tweak some of what God asked for in his Holy commandment, and they were promptly destroyed. That sends the message that the commands of God must be kept Holy, and part of what that means is you CANNOT modify from what He has asked. Accuracy does matter. Saying we can do things just a bit differently is to not revere God as Holy in our hearts.
You nailed it. No longer will I read through Leviticus wondering what is the purpose, why,why???? Now it all makes sense. Thank you for making it so simple & straight forward. God bless.
Sorry to be so off topic but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I was stupid lost the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Jayceon Arthur thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Jeffrey, thank you for this! Reading this on my own was not easy, but you’ve given me a better understanding of the purpose of Leviticus! I’m new to your channel and are looking forward to watching more of your videos-thanks again!🙏🏾
@@OverviewBible praise the Lord sir, I found your videos, recently. I am impressed with the way you taught. I would like to dub your videos in Hindi, so that Hindi speaking people also can learn this. Please let me know if you allow.
I'm trying to read the Torah and the old testament, king James Bible, comparatively. You're analysis makes more sense of it than I can personally understand. Thanks for your deep biblical knowledge. You are doing Gods work.
The Bible cannot be appreciated without understanding it’s historical basis and just how real all of these things were. These things happened, they are not myths. Even the very tabernacle itself took hold of Egyptian-style architectural design, reinforcing that these events were not in a bubble secluded from the rest of the world, although they were designed to be sanctified spiritually and thus physically, but they still occurred within the same plane of existence as other contemporary cultures and civilizations. They had a duty to perform, and what we read is their understanding of how God instructed them to follow and obey him. Due to their failure, we have a higher priest, one that needs not annual sacrifice as those of the temple or in the tabernacle needed, but by himself given up once, was an atonement not only for the children of Israel, but for the whole of humanity. That sacrifice was God become incarnate through the redemptive blood of Jesus Christ on the cross, the son of God, establishing a more perfect law, through the very word of God incorruptible in Christ.
For the first time in life I read entire book of Leviticus and I must say it's a really really important book. Very powerful insights to understand what God expects of people. Shallow people may not like it, but anyone who wants a deeper relationship with God must read it.
@@hughjanus2781The book of Leviticus is very true and honest about the human condition. Slaves were people conquered in battle - not just randomly rounded up! Hello America! So: "... slaves were to be treated fairly, receive their just wages, were not to work during the sabbath, and not to be treated harshly or severely harmed." I wonder what the Divine penalty was for breaking these laws? 😮
Jeffrey, you did an excellent job presenting/explaining the book of Leviticus. I hope you will do the other 38 books of the Old Testament. Glory be to God. Thank You
This is my second time watching this awesome video. I gotta say, both times I laughed out loud when you said "Aaron was having a really bad day" lol! Jeffrey your work has helped me have a much deeper understanding of God's word. I love how you explain it from various aspects. Hoping to see more videos from you soon!
i have been reading and watching Bible expositions (John Macarthur, the late RC Sproul, Steve Lawson, David Pawson and the Bible project series among others) and I must say that the way you summarize and explain every book in the Bible is close to precision. God bless you and keep up doing this great ministry for the glory of God helping teachers and preachers to be precise and accurate in exposing God’s word🙏😇😍
Hi Jeffrey 3 years on...and the overview is still fresh, insightful & clarifying! Keep this tremendous work going, greatly appreciated in - 2022 (6th Oct) 👏🏽👍🏽📈 💯
Absolutely amazing!!.....JUST what I was looking for this evening - an OVERVIEW of the book of Leviticus, which will help me invaluably with reading the individual chapters (which could otherwise have felt a bit like being lost in a maze of precise physical regulations, without necessarily understanding the APPLICATION of it to us as believers under the NEW Covenant)....You have provided us with a clear, concise understanding of the STRUCTURE of the book, along with an explanation of how it is an absolutely ESSENTIAL part of the ongoing story of Israel and their (and our) God and, by implication, of the understanding of how WE OURSELVES can co-exist with Creator of The Universe. Thank you, and you've just got yourself a new subscriber!!!👍👍👍😃😃😃 (by the way it's also SO COOL and important to have that very visual DIAGRAMMATIC SCHEME of the whole book behind you all the time, as a sort of frame of reference on which to hang everything you are telling us, and help us REMEMBER it all!) This is the first of your "Bible book" videos I have watched, but I may very well look at your others when I happen to be studying the individual books concerned.....Thank you again
So helpful thank you! Subscribed and will continue to watch all of these as they relate to my studies. This is A LOT of work, and concisely delivered, and the writings/drawings help too. You've done a great job, I am so grateful for your work. Glory to God and God bless you!! 💙
Thank you!!! I'm reading this book right now, but I'm almost read other times and I always finish without a clear mensage and this time its seems different. Congrats for your simple words and your illustration! Amazing! God bless you. #Brazil
I truly like and appreciate your teaching of the holy words of God almighty God bless you and your family abundantly and you continue your video for people like me
Wow I just love all this white board teaching is there anyway for me to download all the picture's of the whiteboard teaching of all the books of the Bible thanks
Hey man the one for Leviticus is here overviewbible.com/leviticus/ (in two images, and then "Quick outline of Leviticus" further below the images) (as OverviewBible mentions in the introduction to this video), and I guess you'll be able to download the others from the same site too)
God bless you for this watching from Philippines im christian for a long time i am.now 32 i investing myseft in this time of pandemic to know more God Jesus, to be honest i grown up hearing stories bible in.church but it is now i want to really get to know and.understand bible from old to new testament
Thank you so much. Your videos have been helping me to comprehend a little better the Bible. Levoticus was not a book that I got much out of it when I read
The Creator humbling Himself by coming down to live with His creation and implementing His covenant enabling an interim redemption for His creation... and in Bethlehem; the Creator again humbling Himself by coming down to live with His creation, this time implementing His new covenant enabling total redemption for His creation.
I love ❤ how 🤔 ❓ you explain the stories of the Bible you do an excellent job 👏 😀 with your explainations. Well done 👏 ✔ 👍 😎. I finished auto listening 🎶 👏 to the autobook 📖 of Levicious chapters 1 to 27. I found it to be long but very informative and educational. However, I did not really like all the animal sacifices but we all must remember these are the Lord's words and Laws. 😇 👼 🙏 🤲⛪
thanks Jeffery for the Diagram it was formal as you explain it clear result. however when i get my mind back i can take time to study it for myself. we are all God art work believe it in a many operation. thanks to God in you as his voices.
What did they do with the "live/burnt" offerings after the ceremony? Was it buried, burnt to ash, was it eaten or left to decompose? When and why did these ceremonies end? Why do we not do it today? Thanks Jeffrey
GOD moving from the top of the mountain to the tent…. That was the pictures I needed to see. It is an amazing and humbling thing that HE would want to associate with us! I think we really have no understanding as to who HE really is
Hello Jeffrey. My husband and I facilitate a small Bible study every Monday for 1 1/2 hours reading through the Bible. We should be finishing Exodus in a few more weeks. I was puzzled about how I would introduce the book of Leviticus until I happened upon your teaching. I added this teaching to my website with all your information. Thank you for making this available. I'm sure our group will benefit greatly from it. My website is not added as I do not want to infringe upon your site but I will be happy to give it to you. I can be contacted at my g-mail address attached to this comment.
Hi Jeffrey. Thank you for your very nice explanation. I have picked up a flavor in your speech that I would like for you to consider. That is, the instructions in Leviticus is not at all something that people (or the Jews) thought up and started believing. In other words, no group of humans can ever get the credit or even claim ownership for God's instruction. Rather, it is God the creator's instructions, written down for His created. And should be handled as such. It does not matter what we "believe" the instructions to be for, or from, or whether it is still relevant. Rather what God says about it, that is true, whether we believe it or not. I am trying to be clear so I try again: If we believe something contrary to the instructions of God, it makes us wrong. It does not change the truth of God's words. Now with that I am not saying that everyone can "do" every instruction, for some are directed to position, gender, place, seasons etc. But we can all "keep" the instructions in our heart, and not reject it. If I could humbly and fearfully give a summary regarding what I think God says that His instructions are for, it would be the following: 1) That we believe that God is one, and his instruction are eternal truth. (which produces appropriate fear, then wisdom, also perfect love, and faith unto His Salvation i.e. "Yeshua".) 2) That we show God that we love Him, the way He wants to be loved. 3) That we show love to all humans, the way God want us to love humans. Thanks. I hope I accurately conveyed the message and stayed true to the word.

Yes, the opposite. The beauty of GOD manifests from the glory of the heavens to us, the dirt at the bottom of the lake. Thank you Jesus.
So many false teachers using the tithing associated with leviticus as if it's for us today could you shed any light on that?
Your sound isn't loud enough!
