American Idol -Restoring The Altar

&

Ex

Lev 6:

Today I want to talk on this Subject Restoring the altar.

So first lets define the word Alter

ALTAR—(Heb.

mizbeʾah, from a word meaning “to slay”), any structure of earth (Ex.

20:24) or unwrought stone (20:25) on which sacrifices were offered.

The first altar we read of is that erected by Noah (Gen.

8:20).

Altars were erected by Abraham (Gen.

12:7; 13:4; 22:9), by Isaac (Gen.

26:25), by Jacob (33:20; 35:1, 3), and by Moses (Ex.

17:15, “Jehovah-nissi”).

In the tabernacle, and afterwards in the temple, two altars were erected.

2nd Lets Look at what is a burnt offering

BURNT OFFERING—Hebrew olah; i.e., “ascending,” the whole being consumed by fire, and regarded as ascending to God while being consumed.

Part of every offering was burnt in the sacred fire, but this was wholly burnt, a “whole burnt offering.”

It was the most frequent form of sacrifice, and apparently the only one mentioned in the book of Genesis.

Such were the sacrifices offered by Abel (Gen.

4:3, 4, here called minhah; i.e., “a gift”), Noah (Gen.

8:20), Abraham (Gen.

22:2, 7, 8, 13), and by the Hebrews in Egypt (Ex.

10:25).

The law of Moses afterwards prescribed the occasions and the manner in which burnt sacrifices were to be offered.

There were “the continual burnt offering” (Ex.

29:38–42; Lev.

6:9–13), “the burnt offering of every sabbath,” which was double the daily one (Num.

28:9, 10), “the burnt offering of every month” (28:11–15), the offerings at the Passover (19–23), at Pentecost (Lev.

23:16), the feast of Trumpets (23:23–25), and on the day of Atonement (Lev.

16).

On other occasions special sacrifices were offered, as at the consecration of Aaron (Ex.

29) and the dedication of the temple (1 Kings 8:5, 62–64).

Free-will burnt offerings were also permitted (Lev.

1:13), and were offered at the accession of Solomon to the throne (1 Chr.

29:21), and at the reformation brought about by Hezekiah (2 Chr.

29:31–35).

These offerings signified the complete dedication of the offerers unto God.

This is referred to in Rom.

12:1.

It’s the whole thing offered and consumed with fire (a gift) it should be continually burnt/sacrificed.

It’s a part of consecration, dedication & accession.

This offering signified the complete dedication of the offers unto God

In Moses had just introduced God to the children of Isreal and God himself gave them the 10 commandments.

In The 22nd verse God instructs Moses on the procedures of handling the Altar.

First Thing God states is

Don’t worship idols in addition to me

23 Ye shall not make with me gods of silver, neither shall ye make unto you gods of gold.

2.

An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in all places where I record my name I will come unto thee, and I will bless thee.

The stipulation is every place that I Choose, and i will come and bless you.

3.

And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.

don’t use dressed stones.

If you use a chisel on the stones you’ll profane the Altar.

Don’t use steps to climb to my Altar because that will expose your nakedness.’

”

Don’t use steps to climb to my Altar because that will expose your nakedness.’

”

In Leviticus We see God Commands Moses On the procedure of the Burnt offering

“Give Aaron and his sons the following instructions regarding the burnt offering.

The burnt offering must be left on top of the altar until the next morning, and the fire on the altar must be kept burning all night.

10 In the morning, after the priest on duty has put on his official linen clothing and linen undergarments, he must clean out the ashes of the burnt offering and put them beside the altar.

11 Then he must take off these garments, change back into his regular clothes, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean.

In the morning, after the priest on duty has put on his official linen clothing and linen undergarments, he must clean out the ashes of the burnt offering and put them beside the altar.

Then he must take off these garments, change back into his regular clothes, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean.

Meanwhile, the fire on the altar must be kept burning; it must never go out.

Each morning the priest will add fresh wood to the fire and arrange the burnt offering on it.

He will then burn the fat of the peace offerings on it.

Remember, the fire must be kept burning on the altar at all times.

It must never go out.
