Cleansing from Leprosy — A New Start, A Restored Life

In Leviticus 14, God gave detailed instructions for the cleansing of one healed from leprosy. It was a long and careful process—seven days of examination, washing, and waiting outside the camp — and then came the eighth day, the day of restoration. On that day, the person who had once been exiled and isolated returned with sacrifices in hand: a guilt offering, a sin offering, and a burnt offering before the Lord. Scripture says, “The priest shall make atonement for the one to be cleansed before the Lord, and he shall be clean” (Leviticus 14:20).

Shemini Atzeret – The Eighth Day Stop!

This is the first of a new series that I’ve not fully planned out yet, but one that I feel compelled to spend significant time unpacking — because Shemini Atzeret is the culmination of all the Feasts of the Lord. It’s the grand finale, the moment everything has been leading to — and the irony is, most believers have never even heard of it! Yet it’s one of the most profound and prophetic days in all of Scripture.

God will heal and restore!

The Yamim Nora’im, the Days of Awe, are not only a season of reckoning but also of hope. God does not expose sin to condemn us — but rather He reveals it so He can bring healing. In this passage, the Lord declares, “I have seen his ways, but I will heal him.” The God who knows every failure also speaks a word of restoration. He sees us at our worst, yet offers to lead us, comfort us, and place new songs of praise upon our lips.

The King of Eternity Revives Those Contrite in Spirit!

The Yamim Nora’im, the Days of Awe, are designed to awaken us to the greatness of God and the frailty of man. Isaiah’s words capture this tension perfectly: the Holy One is enthroned in eternity, far above all creation — and yet, He chooses to dwell with the humble and contrite. This is the mystery of repentance: the God who is infinitely high draws near to the one who bends low.

You are His Temple!

When the shofar first sounded on the 1st of Elul in Haggai’s day, the call was clear: “Rebuild My house.” The people obeyed, and the work of restoring the Temple began. But in the New Covenant, the temple of God is no longer built of stone alone — it is within you. Paul declares, “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that His Spirit dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16).
