Inherent in the name of Jacob---ISRAEL---the person who wrestled with God----and in the garden------ PS---your post is idioticCan you spell D E F L E C T I O N? Again with the "platitudes" instead of the actual history from Judeo-Christian faith as recorded in the Word of God. In any lanague you wish to discuss.......the truth is easily identified by the content, context and subject matter of every book, chapter and verse.
The priests of Levite served as mediators between God and the people of Israel. They are the ones who took the peoples sacrifices (as described under the Law of Moses..................where is this tribe today to takeup all the sacrifices that existed under the LAW? The people are without a HIGH PRIEST, descended from the blood of Aaron) -- Lev. 4:20, 26, 31, Heb. 8:4) No one in the 1st century knew the history and letters of the law better than Saul of Tarsus, who was educated in Jerusalem by Rabbi Gamaliel...........He had this to declare, ".....Now if He (Jesus) were on earth, He would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law. (clear reference to Levities). They serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly things. For when Moses was about to erect the tent, He was INSTRUCTED BY GOD, see that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountains....." -- Heb. 8:4-6
When a high priest sinned, he brought guilt upon the entire nation of Israel (Lev. 4:3) This required a special sacrifice under the law. How many "BULLS" has been sacrificed in modern Israel lately? In fact.......where is your High Priest located today?
Does the modern Jew, ...make everything according to the pattern shown to Moses on the mountain? Is so where is the High Priest today directly descended from Aaron? What's your High Priest of Levite's name today? Where is the Temple, erected as instructed by God?
Just one more question..........where exactly in the Torah or the LAW (of Moses) does it state that Laws can be arbitrated by men in replacing the sacrifices from the Tribe of Levite with "SYMBOLISM"?
