Introduction to Leviticus
He noted the space allotted by God to the Levites. In Genesis only 27 numbers were required to explain the entire creation. Here, 27 chapters were required to explain how the people could live a sacred life. In addition, this travel is referred to more than 80 times in the New Testament.
The sacrifices of Leviticus are the most comprehensive description in the entire Bible of the atonement that the Lord made for sin.
The word "holiness" in Hebrew comes about 100 times in this book. Although the Levitical priesthood and the sacrifices are over, the same principles apply to Christians today, for without holiness no one will see the Lord (Hebrews 14:12).
The Leviticus is divided into two main parts.
Verses 1-17 express the basis of man's relationship with God - because the body itself is in the blood, and I give it to you on the altar to atone for your souls (Leviticus 11:17; Hebrews 22: 9). The blood of animal carcasses was temporarily forgiven for the sins of the people and should have been repeated for every unintentional sin. But the blood of the animal sacrifices referred to the blood of Jesus who died once (Hebrews 14: 9; 10: 10-12; 1 John 7: 1).
Five sacrifices were necessary to fully understand the blessings that would have been achieved through the final sacrifice - the death of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The second section explains the seven holidays in chapters 18-27. All the holidays, like the offerings, are symbols of Christ.
Three times a year all your males will appear before the Lord God of Israel (Exodus 23:34).
The first trip to Jerusalem took place in the first month of the religious year, where three festivals were celebrated: (a) Easter, which begins on the evening of the fourteenth day; (b) The feast of unleavened bread starting from the fifteenth day and continuing for a week; On the Sabbath day of this week (Leviticus 1: 23-44).
And the second trip - seven weeks later - to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary, which falls on Sunday - Saturday - exactly 50 days after harvest.
The third group of festivals falls in the seventh month and is known as the Feast of Tabernacles. The festival includes trumpets on the first day; the Day of Atonement on the tenth day; and the feast day from the fifteenth day until the twenty-second day.
In addition to the seven holidays there are the Sabbaths, which were also called feasts. There has been a weekly Saturday as well as a set of special forums called forums. These were occasions for the company and rejoicing in the mercy of the Lord and teaching His Holy Word. During these times work does not work in all your dwellings - throughout the country
Read Leviticus 1 - 3
The carcass first mentioned is the sacrificial offering even though it was in the fourth order in terms of its offering. They were left on the altar to burn all night until the morning, leaving nothing but ashes. It was also called the fuel of the smell of pleasure which meant that it was an optional offering, and it satisfied the Lord very much (3: 1-5). It was the offering of the sacrifice, and not the priest, that slaughtered the animal, because for his sin he would die this animal. Then the priest will sprinkle the blood round the altar, remove the carcass, cut it into pieces, and wash the inner and the inner organs, and put them all to burn on the altar. Then the priest wears his linen clothes and carries the ash out of the camp.
All parts of the carcass should be separated: the head, which refers to the mind; the inner viscera, which represents the emotions and feelings; the extras, which represent the external behavior; and the fat, which represents health and abundant life. From head to foot, sacrifice was the perfect submission of God unconditionally. The only exception is the skin, which was given to the priest. Skin is not part of the offering, but it is evidence that the animal was present and that it was presented as a sacrifice.
The sacrifice of the burnt offering indicates that the sacrificial offering gives his life and assigns it to the Lord. (Hebrews 14: 9) - and expresses the whole life of Christ and his ministry, in which he fully fulfilled the will of God, as He said: For I have come down from heaven not to do My will but to the will of Him who sent me (John 6:38) .
The sacrifice of the Holocaust should have been free of any defect, since it refers to Christ, who was free from sin, and who also envisioned the perfect gift - anything less was considered an insult. This may be a cow, a sheep, a goat, a pigeon, or a pigeon, according to the material possessions of the sacrificial offering, but the basic condition is to be a true male without blemish (Leviticus 3: 1,10). It is noted in all these choices that they are pets and not monsters.
If the social level of the sacrifice provider allows him to own a herd of cattle, he must provide the cow. But if he has only a flock of sheep, he must offer sheep or goats. If any one of them presents a pigeon, this is an insult. But if the person offering the sacrifice is so poor that he does not have any possessions or sheep, the accepted offer is the one for which the price is less than that of the pigeon or the pigeon. This offering is given by Joseph and Mary, the mother of Jesus, which indicates their poverty (Luke 24: 2).
God expects us to give it according to our abilities. Just as Christ gave himself to God unreservedly, so we must continually offer our whole being (spirit, soul, and body) in full submission to the Lord. We must live only to please those who said: If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself and carry his cross and follow me (Matthew 24:16; Romans 1: 12-2).
Declaration of Christ: Through the offering of flour which is without leaven (Khmer refers to sin) (Leviticus 11: 2). Christ was without sin (Hebrews 15: 4).
Thoughts on the part of prayer: Ask the Lord to give you sufficiency in all cases, whether in kindness or distress, in abundance or in want (Philippians 11: 4-12).
Read Leviticus 4-6
The Hebrew word for the offering of flour means more than the quality or value of the offering; it means that the offering of the offering is in a proper relationship with God the Most High. The offering and its offering must both be appropriate to the person to whom the offering is made. It is better not to offer anything at all than to make a sacrifice less than your potential or to be offered by someone whose life is incompatible with God's holy will. In this case, the offering becomes an insult to God. For it is not as man sees, because man looks at the eyes, but the LORD looks at the heart (1 Samuel 7:16).
You can not offer an offering without salt. Salt gives the food its true taste so that it can be fully enjoyed. Salt is also a preservative that prevents corruption and damage. Do not disturb your progress from the salt of the covenant of your God (Leviticus 13: 2). The salt covenant can never be annulled because this requires that each salt atom from the two contracting parties that are mixed with each other must revert to the original owner. This is of course impossible! In all these offerings and holidays, nothing can be added as well as nothing can be canceled.
As Christians, the Bible teaches us, "Let your words always be a blessing, a prayer of salt, so that you may know how to respond to each one" (Colossians 6: 4). We must follow the way in which the world can understand that we are people in a covenant relationship with the Lord.
As for frankincense, when it burns with the offering, it smells beautiful and saturated, and this shows how the prayers and intercessions offered by all those who enter into a relationship with the Lord are saturated with God. The holocaust is the consecration of the self, whereas the offering of flour is the consecration of the service. We can only offer acceptable service if we have introduced ourselves first. This concept is always found in the same order in all parts of the Bible.
Yeast (which is a symbol of sin) should not be placed in the offering of flour. In the sense that the Khmer quickly permeates the mass of the whole dough, the book reminds us, "Remove the old yeast from you, so that you may be a new dough ... because our Passover is also sacrificed for us. Let us return not with old yeast, nor with the yeast of evil and slander, but with the fruit of sincerity and truth (1 Corinthians 6: 5-8).
Declaration of Christ: Through the sacrifice that is burned outside the camp (Leviticus 12: 4). This is a picture of the Christ who suffered outside the door (Hebrews 11: 13-12).
Ideas from the point of prayer: Lift up your hands with praise and prayer, and serve the Lord (1 Timothy 8: 2).
Read Leviticus 7: 8
The sacrifice of safety was a feast of joy, in which the priest and the people would participate in the testimony of God, who had his share of fat on the altar (Leviticus 31: 7). After the fat was given to the Lord, and the priests received their share, the rest belonged to the offering of the sacrifice, his friends and family members, eating it in the courtyard of the tent of worship, and rejoicing in the wonderful things the Lord had done. The shoulder, the leg, and the chest - symbolizing power and compassion - belonged to the priest who offered the sacrifice - to remember that God's power and love were for those who served Him. The sacrifice may be a cow (Leviticus 3: 9-4) or a bull (Exodus 24:20; 5:24) or from goats or sheep; but it must be without blemish, because it refers to Christ's full life. The cows symbolize the Lord in his strength and patience, and the sheep symbolize him in his farewell and kindness, and the goat symbolizes him in being oppressed and rejected (Leviticus 1: 3,7,12).
The person offering the sacrifice must put his hand on the head of his offering, and slay him, and bring the fat to the priest in order to burn it to the Lord. Fat should not be eaten. Whoever eats greed ... shall cut off from their people the soul that they eat (Leviticus 2: 3; 23: 7,25).
In some of the sacrifices, the poor were allowed to come from pigeons or pigeons, but these birds were not acceptable as a safety sacrifice. This animal must be an animal because the bird is too small to divide or enough to satisfy everyone. In some sacrifices only males were permitted, but the safety offering could be given male or female (Leviticus 1: 3,6).
The sacrifice of safety envisions the life of Christ, which restored the full and lasting relationship between God and men. For we have been justified by faith to have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 1: 5). Then the true relationship with God leads to peace with all other believers - to whom we are called as members of the body of one Christ (Colossians 15: 3). Christ died, but now he lives, and we live in fellowship with him, and rejoice in the peace of God that surpasses all mind (Philippians 7: 4) and share it with others.
(Colossians 20: 1), because it is our peace (the bond of our unity), which made the two one (the Jews and the Gentiles), and the wall of the average fence (Ephesians 14: 2). In other words, God reconciled the world to Himself, not counting their sins, and bringing the word of reconciliation in us (2 Corinthians 19: 5).
Declaration of Christ: Through Moses who sanctified the priests who assigned themselves to ministry (Leviticus 23: 8-24). Christ assigns the believer to service when he presents himself to Christ (Romans 12:12).
Thoughts on the part of prayer: Offer to God to pray with confidence in order to receive grace and mercy from him (Hebrews 16: 4).
Read Leviticus 9: 10
The sin offering was obligatory, because we are naturally the sons of wrath (Ephesians 3: 2), and the sin offering was required to compensate for our many sins against God and men.
These sacrifices were necessary to restore the relationship between God and man. The other three sacrifices were acceptable only after the offering of these sacrifices. There is a close connection between these two sacrifices despite the obvious distinction between them. The sin offering refers to the Christ who carried sin - that is, making sin for us (2 Corinthians 21: 5). 1 Corinthians 3:15; 2 Corinthians 15: 5; 1 John 7: 1,9), opening the way that allows the sinner to approach God and receive Abdullah.
In these sacrifices, the sacrificial offering was united with the sacrifice to put his hands firmly on the head of the sacrificial animal. This symbolizes the transmission of his sins - for which death is due - to the sacrifice that will die instead. And since he who has sinned, the offering of the sacrifice shall be slaughtered.
The elimination of sin must be carried out. Whether we see it as unintended sin, or that it is made by ignorance, or by its justifications, it can not be ignored. Man knows temptations, experiments, hiccups and sins, but the animal knows nothing of this and therefore it is estimated to be a temporary expiation for sin. But it is the sacrifice of Christ alone that is able to erase sin and fulfill the requirements of God's judgment on man's sin. The sacrifices were just symbols of the whole sacrifice offered by the only begotten Son of God.
Christ is the "sacrifice of iniquity" for us - forgiving you of all sins; he has wiped out the instrument that is on us. He nailed it to the cross (Colossians 13: 2-14; also 2 Corinthians 19: 5).
Sin is disobedience to God's good will - not only that man works evil with his own will, but that he does not do good when he can (James 17: 4). When the sin offering is offered, the culprit must acknowledge the sin he has committed. For example, when the property of others was infringed, the culprit offered the sacrifice in recognition of the guilt. And then he must make up for all the stolen to the owner with the addition of five worth.
The sin offering included not only the culprit, but also the witnesses. God demands that the guilty be punished, but anyone who hides the evidence becomes involved in the crime - this is what many people ignore today (Leviticus 1: 5; 2 John 9: 1-11). To illustrate this point, when God overthrew Jericho by Joshua it turned out that Achan had held himself a robotic robe and also some gold and other things (Joshua 21: 7). Then he was sentenced to death not only to Aghan, but to his entire family because of the father's sin. What is meant here is that the family was aware of the sin and became guilty because they did not report it. So when the Lord revealed about Aakal's work, he was not stoned alone, but his wife was stoned
For the law was not able to do it ... God sent His Son in the likeness of the body of sin ... Dan condemned sin in the flesh, that the law might be judged in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit (Romans 3: 8-4).
Declaration of Christ: Through the sacrificial offering without blemish (Leviticus 3: 9; cf. John 1:29).
Ideas from the point of prayer: Ask the Lord to give you the appropriate words to share Christ with others (Matthew 18: 10-20).
Read Leviticus 11-13
Man was created in the image of God (Genesis 27: 1) and this resemblance includes righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 24: 4). But when Adam and Eve sinned, their holiness was contaminated and their relationship with God broke down and from this moment death became the inevitable destiny of every human being (Romans 5:14).
When we read Leviticus we discover the extent of God's hatred of death, which began only when sin entered the Garden of Eden. The results of this first sin opened the gates of sorrow, pain, physical death and ultimately eternal spiritual death. The many sacrifices, the laws and the obligatory laws concerning what is pure and what is impure and what are the things that defile us lead us to understand the extent of the horror of death and the extent of God's hatred of sin.
These laws have been given wisely to Israelis for health purposes. But it also shows us how God is jealous in maintaining His Holiness.
Forbidden animals were described as unclean, but fish, birds, insects, reptiles, forbidden insects, and dead bodies were also described as hated (Leviticus 2: 11-47). These birds and fish include many species that feed on death, if they eat from dead animals and from garbage. Animals that crawl on her belly like snakes, worms, larvae, rats, and numerous legged creatures such as the mother of forty-four spiders are also hated and hateful. They are active in darkness and perceive the truth of people who love darkness because their actions are evil (John 19: 3).
The purpose of all these nuances and this complex system in order to distinguish between pure and unclean is to ensure that the Israelis are isolated from the nations in order to preserve a pure chain of relations from which Christ comes and to save the Israelis from attachment to strange gods. It was also a daily reminder that God wanted His people to be imbued with holiness in the face of the evil of this world, which necessarily led to death.
2 Corinthians 17: 6-18; John 15:17; 1 Corinthians 9: 5; Ephesians 11: 5; 1 Peter 15:17; and the Lord of the Worlds, : 1; 2 Peter 11: 3; Revelation 14: 22-15).
Declaration of Christ: Through the pure food of the faithful (Leviticus 47:11). Our Lord Jesus is the bread of life (John 35: 6), the deliverer of living water (14: 4), whose food is the will of his Father (34: 4).
Ideas on the part of prayer: Give thanks for the privilege of meeting with other believers every week (Hebrews 25:10).
Read Leviticus 14-15
Al-Baras separated the husband from his wife, the father from his children, and the friend from his friend. The man was expelled from his home to live outside the gates of the safe city in the brutal exclusion of life away from social life and worship.
When the leprosy appears at first, it seems simple - just a small white or red spot on the skin - and in its infancy does not cause any pain. The spot may last for months or even two years before it begins to grow, but then it causes deformity in all parts of the body, leading to swelling of the face and hands. And with the movement of joints occur deep cracks bloody and painful. Fingers of the hands and feet become rough and cracked. The fingernails swell and become crooked and fall down. As the condition of the leprosy deteriorates, the body forms a stinging ulcer and the gums become bleeding. In the end, the nose completely erases and the fingers fall from the hands and feet, leaving behind short stumps of the corrosive flesh. Over time, the leprosy becomes thin and thin, with diarrhea, fever and extreme thirst. Despite his disgusting appearance, who can look at the leper and feel pity for him?
There is no disease that occupies such a space in the Bible as leprosy, because it portrays how sin seems simple at first, but its consequences are ultimately ugly, hateful, and deadly. The dangerous consequence of any kind of impurity is that it separates man from God immediately, as Paul wrote to the Romans and Ephesus, saying: Therefore God also delivered them in the lusts of their hearts to impurity to insult their bodies ... So God delivered them to the whims of shame ... who, having lost sense, gave themselves up to prostitution to do all uncleanness in greed.
Read Leviticus 16-18
Before the atonement of the people, Aaron also needed to be cleansed, just like the rest of the people. Everyone was sinners. For blood is atoned for the soul ... Without shedding blood, there is no remission (Leviticus 11:17; Hebrews 22: 9; cf. Matthew 28:26). Aaron had to offer a bull to atone for himself before the Tess offered sin to the people (Leviticus 11: 16-14). But Christ, the chief of our great priesthood, did not need to offer a sacrifice for himself, for he is holy without evil and unclean (Hebrews 26: 7-27). It is our Passover that was slain for us (1 Corinthians 7: 5).
And after Aaron had cleansed himself, he went to the most holy place, taking with him the fill of his feet, incense, and filling the furnace with fire from the altar of brass. When he entered, he placed the incense on the fire so that the Holy of Holies would be filled with its aromatic aroma. This indicates the utmost importance of prayer (Revelation 8: 5).
The book specifically states that: "There shall be no man in the tent of meeting ... from his entry ... to his departure (Leviticus 17:16). Thus Christ alone was appointed by God to fulfill His Father's will and become our patron saint (John 34: 4; 19: 5,30; 28: 8; 4: 9; Hebrews 4: 5-9). The great expiation of Christ did not begin on the Cross of Galgotha but in the Garden of Gethsemane when he presented to the Father the prayer of the High Priest who was registered in John 17. Even in the most painful moments, hanging on the cross, the Lord Jesus prayed for the sinners who perished.
He was then brought before the High Priest and received a lottery to determine which one would offer a sin offering and which would be taken to the wilderness. From the drawing of lots on the tesin, we learn that the sufferings of Christ are predestined by God, not by man's will (Acts 24: 4,28). In the same way, the worship of the people of God must be according to His commandments, not according to human tradition.
It was necessary to use Ticin to express the two-faceted expiation of Christ. One of them is offered on the altar as a sin offering. Aaron would lay his hands on the head of the other goat and confess the sins of the congregation and thus pass their sins to the goat and then send him to a desolate land ... in the wilderness (Leviticus 22:16), where he disappears from the eyes. This shows us how our sins are forgiven completely and completely forgotten - as far as the east of Morocco is beyond our sins (Psalm 12: 103; Hebrews 1: 8-13).
Proclamation of Christ: Through the two sins used on the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 8:16). The slaughter of the first tithes indicates that our peace with God has been restored by the blood of Christ. The second Titus refers to the superlative mercy of God, which forever removed the sins of His people from His eyes - as far as the East from Morocco (Psalm 12: 103; cf. Hebrews 17:10).
Thoughts of prayer: Pray, wives, for a quiet and loving spirit in order to tempt your husbands to Christ (1 Peter 1: 2-3).
Read Leviticus 19-21
The process of sanctification required a bull for a sin offering, a ram for the Holocaust, and another for sanctification (Leviticus 14: 8-30). The right ear, the thumb of the right hand, and the thumb of the right man of the priests were covered with blood (23: 8-24). The blood-stained ear recalls listening to the will of God above all; the blood-stained hand recalls the sacred privilege of doing service in the tent of worship; the man with the blood sign recalls walking in a manner acceptable to the Lord.
The sacrificial offering for the sins of the priest, in his capacity as a spiritual leader, must be a true bull - just like the sacrificial offering for the whole community. This animal was the most expensive and should have been male, a symbol of leadership. The reason for this distinction is the importance of the priest's career, since as a spiritual leader he can drag the entire community to sin (3: 4,22-23,27-28). On the contrary, if one of the common people makes a mistake, he brings an authentic goat from the goat - an animal that is much less valuable.
All the sons of Aaron, young and old, healthy or sick, were priests to the Lord by virtue of their birth from Aaron and their relationship with him. All those who are condemned in any way, be it physical defects, accidents or even ignorance, are not allowed to eat for priests (16: 21-24) or service in the tent of worship until they are purified. Some of the legislations were much more serious, and those who break them from the priests are deprived of life for priesthood, such as divorce or marriage to a divorced woman. They shall be holy: the widow, the divorced, the profane, and the harlot; of these he shall not take; but he shall take a virgin of his people as a woman (Leviticus 6: 21-14; Ezekiel 22:44). Any priest who does not care about the qualities of the service is cut off from the Lord's testimony (Leviticus 3:22). We do not have the choice to ignore some biblical parts to keep up with public opinion (Deuteronomy 2: 4; Revelation 18: 22-19).
The responsibility of church leaders, ministers, elders and deacons is much greater because their lives must provide an example of the biblical principles that their church members should follow. (Matthew 31: 5-32; 3: 19-11; Mark 2: 10-12; Ephesians 21: 5-28; 1 Timothy 1: 3-13; Titus 5: 1-9;
Read Leviticus 22-23
The Passover refers to the redemption that Jesus completed on the Cross. The feast of unleavened bread celebrated every day for seven days refers to the importance of daily feeding on the word of God, as Jesus said: It is written not only by bread but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God : 4). He also said: If you abide in my words, you shall indeed be my disciples. (John 31: 8). Al-Fatair also refers to the nature of Christ without sin. For it is the Word that has become flesh (14: 1).
On Sunday, they come with a bundle of the first harvest and serve it to the Lord of barley, which was cooked at that time of the year in the land of Canaan (Leviticus 10: 23-11). This is a recognition that the product of the earth belongs to the Lord.
The Bakura also refers to the Lord Jesus, who rose from the dead at the beginning of the week - on Saturday. Now Christ has risen from the dead and became the first of those who had fallen asleep (1 Corinthians 20:15).
Just as the Passover lamb is kept for four days before slaughtering it to make sure that it is without blemish, so the Lamb of God (John 29: 1) has served openly before the multitudes for nearly four years to scrutinize his life and service.
The result was that Judas said, "I have sinned by delivering innocent blood" (Matthew 4:27). And Pilate also examined him, and said, I have no problem with him (John 38:18). One of the criminals said on the cross: This man has done nothing wrong (Luke 41:23). All of these testimonies indicate that Jesus is the perfect lamb of God (John 1:29).
The day before the Passover was called the day of preparation. The house is carefully cleaned to remove every trace of the yeast. Everything in the house is cleaned - the walls and ceilings are washed, floors and cabinets are cleared, the pillars are cleaned, all the cooking utensils boil in the water and set aside, and many other tasks are accomplished. We also must purify ourselves of all bodily and spiritual uncleanness, perfecting holiness in the fear of God (2 Corinthians 1: 7).
Declaration of Christ: Leviticus 23 - In the seven major religious festivals: Easter, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of the First Fruits, Pentecost, Feast of Horns, Feast of Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles (all refer to Christ).
Thoughts on the part of prayer: Remember that it is impossible for people to do what God can (Matthew 26:19).
Read Leviticus 24-25
The packages of barley offered at Easter were the sign of the beginning of the harvest, and the bread made from wheat, which was offered on Pentecost, was the mark on the end of the harvest. In the New Testament, the Day of Pentecost, which came after Christ's resurrection, was the time to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, as Peter said: "This is what the prophet Joel said [Joel 28: 2] ... I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh (Acts 16: 2- 17).
Harvesting of all crops took seven weeks, starting with the barley harvest, which ripens in the spring. Once the barley harvest is finished, the fruit is ripe; then comes the collection of olives and then the vineyards, followed by the wheat that harvests the last one. Just as there was a feast for the Bakura as evidence of faith in a good harvest, there was also a feast to celebrate the end of the summer harvest.
Unlike the unleavened unleavened unleavened bread in the Passover, Rugifi was the bread of the chastity, basted by the wine on this occasion (Leviticus 17:23). A loaf of bread is made from flour produced by grinding the grains, mixed with oil and ferment and then baked in the oven. They represent the Holy Spirit twice - once upon the Jews on the Day of Pentecost and once again on the faithful of the nations - so that the two become one (Acts 1: 2-13; 44: 10-48). Khmer was present in this bread because there are still errors and shortcomings in the church. They are not complete - as with Christ - referred to as the Khmer-free fly. In view of the mistakes of the people in this forum, the sacrifices of sin, the sacrifices of the burnt offering and the sacrifices of safety were presented on this occasion.
The purpose of the baker's bread was to teach the people that the blessings of the Lord were not limited to them alone. So they should have shared it with others: do not complete the corners of your field in your harvest ... to the stranger and leave him. I am the Lord your God (Leviticus 22:23).
On the Feast of Baccalaureate, we see a picture of the Lord Jesus, who rose from the dead and became the first of those who had fallen asleep (1 Corinthians 20: 15-21). Forty days after his resurrection and moments before he ascended, Jesus said to his disciples, "Wait for the Father's appointment" (Acts 4: 1). Ten days later, nearly 120 students were gathered in a high room (called Aleh) when he came to Pentecost (1: 2). This was precisely the day of the fiftieth anniversary.
And all were filled with the Holy Spirit, as Christ had already prophesied, saying, "You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 8: 1).
Declaration of Christ: Through the guardian, the nearest relative who breaks his neighbor
