Paul states the following in Rom 1:18-20 18 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: "..KJV
He points to the things that are made, God's physical creation as containing the evidence for His power and Godhead and states that ungodly men are without excuse when they deny Him. This PowerPoint examines the fact that God provided patterns to be followed that evidences his intelligent design that is to be followed.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

7. Numbers 15,
A Summary Of Israel’s Condition
• J. Vernon McGee says in his notes,
• “Marching has turned to murmuring,
• walking has turned to wandering,
• witnessing has turned to wailing,
• warring his turn to wobbling,
• singing has turned to sighing,
• and working has turned to wishing."
8. Numbers 15,
A Summary Of Israel’s Condition
• We now begin “the silent years”, the wasted years.
• The whole chapter of Numbers 33 has the itinerary from
Egypt to the Promised Land, camp by camp.
• NAU Joshua 5:5 For all the people who came out were
circumcised, but all the people who were born in the
wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had
not been circumcised.
• NAU Amos 5:25 "Did you present Me with sacrifices and
grain offerings in the wilderness for forty years, O house of
Israel? 26 "You also carried along Sikkuth your king and
Kiyyun, your images, the star of your gods which you made
for yourselves. 27 "Therefore, I will make you go into exile …
9. Numbers 15,
A Summary Of Israel’s Condition
• NAU Acts 7:42 "But God turned away and
delivered them up to serve the host of heaven; as
it is written in the book of the prophets, 'IT WAS
NOT TO ME THAT YOU OFFERED VICTIMS AND
SACRIFICES FORTY YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS,
WAS IT, O HOUSE OF ISRAEL?
• Israel’s condition was uncircumcised, committed
to idolatry, murmuring, grumbling, and
complaining for 40 years, yet God will keep His
promises.
• God's promise was delayed but not destroyed.
10. Numbers 15:1, Owning The Land Does
Not Mean Possessing It
• NAU Numbers 15:1 Now the LORD spoke to Moses,
saying, 2 "Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them,
'When you enter the land where you are to live,
which I am giving you, 3 then make an offering by fire
to the LORD, a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a
special vow, or as a freewill offering or in your
appointed times, to make a soothing aroma to the
LORD, from the herd or from the flock.
• “When you enter the land… I am giving you”?
• NAU Numbers 14:33 “…forty years in the
wilderness…until your corpses lie in the wilderness.”
• Owning the land does not mean possessing it.
• God is faithful
11. Last Time, Numbers 14:8,
Peaceful Possession Is Conditional.
• NAU Numbers 14:8 "If the LORD is pleased with us, then
He will bring us into this land and give it to us-- a land
which flows with milk and honey.
• They absolutely own it already, God had already given
it to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. (Genesis 15:7, 35:12)
• NAU Genesis 12:7 The LORD appeared to Abram and
said, "To your descendants I will give this land.”
• NAU Genesis 13:15 for all the land which you see, I will
give it to you and to your descendants forever.
• But the peaceful possession of it is conditional.
12. Numbers 15:1-31,
Israel’s Instructions When In The Land
• God's unilateral, unconditional promises are
not contingent upon anything but God’s
faithfulness.
• He is able, faithful, and He is a covenant
keeper.
• Last chapter He judged their sin again with 40
years of wandering. But that won’t keep them
out of the land.
• We will study these regulations more later.
13. Numbers 15:14, Aliens With You
• NAU Numbers 15:14 'If an alien sojourns with you, or
one who may be among you throughout your
generations, and he wishes to make an offering by fire,
as a soothing aroma to the LORD, just as you do so he
shall do. 15 'As for the assembly, there shall be one
statute for you and for the alien who sojourns with
you, a perpetual statute throughout your generations;
as you are, so shall the alien be before the LORD. 16
'There is to be one law and one ordinance for you and
for the alien who sojourns with you.'“
• Jew and gentile alike can worship the LORD.
14. Numbers 15:21, Bread Dough
• NAU Numbers 15:21 'From the first of your dough you shall
give to the LORD an offering throughout your generations.
• Jerusalem Inspiration, “…The dough was given to the Priests
("Kohanim") since they were not given a portion of land of
their own through which to sustain themselves. The job of
the Kohanim was to educate the people and work in the
Temple, thereby providing the people with religious
sustenance. They were, in turn, provided with physical
sustenance from the Nation. Such is one's existence in the
Land of Israel – the physical and spiritual are continuously
intertwined.”
• Jerusalem Photo Trivia, “Hot and fresh from the oven, a
delight from Jerusalem's Machane Yehuda market, captured
by Rebecca Kowalsky. You can almost taste it!...”
16. Numbers 15:22, Unintentional Sin
• NAU Numbers 15:22 'But when you unwittingly fail and
do not observe all these commandments, which the
LORD has spoken to Moses, 23 even all that the LORD
has commanded you through Moses, from the day
when the LORD gave commandment and onward
throughout your generations, 24 then it shall be, if it is
done unintentionally, without the knowledge of the
congregation…
• NAS NAU ...you unwittingly fail...
• YLT KJV ...ye have erred...
• NKJ NET ESV CSB ...you sin unintentionally ...
• NIV ...you as a community unintentionally fail ..
17. Numbers 15:22, Unintentional Sin
• NAU Numbers 15:22 'But when you unwittingly fail …
• All sin requires a sacrificial offering, then, now, always.
Even sin committed unintentionally.
• Any, every, failure to reflect God’s infinite holiness by
the creatures made in His image is a blasphemy. God is
infinite and eternal so the punishment is also.
• NAU Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the
free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
• NAU James 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law and
yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.
18. KJV Numbers 15:28, “Sins Of Ignorance”
• KJV Numbers 15:28 And the priest shall make an atonement for the
soul that sinneth ignorantly, when he sinneth by ignorance before
the LORD, to make an atonement for him; and it shall be forgiven
him.
• “Sins of ignorance” is a phrase that comes from the KJV only, and
mostly from this chapter and Leviticus 4 and 5.
• We have a saying, “Ignorance of the law is no excuse.” You can test
this yourself with the IRS, or the CHP.
• NAU John 3: 36, 18 …he who does not believe has been judged
already, because he has not believed in the name of the only
begotten Son of God.
• There is no "innocent native." (Acts 17:26-30)
•
19. Numbers 15:30,
Defiant, Presumptuous Sin
• NAU Numbers 15:30 'But the person who does
anything defiantly, whether he is native or an alien,
that one is blaspheming the LORD; and that person
shall be cut off from among his people. 31 'Because he
has despised the word of the LORD and has broken His
commandment, that person shall be completely cut
off; his guilt will be on him.'“
• NAS NET ... defiantly...
• NKJ ...presumptuously....
• ESV YLT ... with a high hand [literal] ...
• Defiant, presumptuous sin has no means of escape.
20. Let’s Read Numbers 15:32-36
• Wow! “gathering sticks” is a capital offense!
• How’s this strike your sense of justice?
• How would you answer a critic charging God with
injustice, cruelty, and anger problems?
• How about NAU Genesis 3:11 “... I commanded you not
to eat?"...The serpent deceived me, and I ate."... "I will
greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth... Cursed is the
ground because of you [Adam] ; In toil you will eat of it All
the days of your life…. [Rom 6:23, James 2:10, Rev 21:8]
• KJV Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die…
• Some think Numbers 15:32-36 is the first execution,
others that it’s the first violation of the fourth
commandment.
21. Biblical Blue Tassels
• NAU Numbers 15:38 "Speak to the sons of
Israel, and tell them that they shall make for
themselves tassels on the corners of their
garments throughout their generations, and
that they shall put on the tassel of each corner
a cord of blue.

23. Numbers 15:38, Biblical Blue, foxnews.com
• JERUSALEM – An Israeli researcher says she has identified
a nearly 2,000-year old textile that may contain a
mysterious blue dye described in the Bible, one of the few
remnants of the ancient color ever found. Naama Sukenik
of Israel's Antiquities Authority said Tuesday that recent
examination of a small woolen textile discovered in the
1950s found that the textile was colored with a dye from
the Murex trunculus, a snail researchers believe was the
source of the Biblical blue. Researchers and rabbis have
long searched for the enigmatic color, called tekhelet in
Hebrew. The Bible commands Jews to wear a blue fringe on
their garments, but the dye was lost in antiquity. Sukenik
examined the textile for a doctorate at Bar-Ilan University
and published the finding at a Jerusalem conference
Monday.
• http://www.foxnews.com/science/2013/12/31/ancient-textile-may-contain-lost-biblical-dye/?intcmp=features
24. Tassels for Today, eliyah.com
• “According to Yahweh's word, the purpose for the tassel
(Hebrew #6734 "Tsitsit" or plural "Tsit tsiyot") is for us to
look upon it and remember all of Yahweh's commandments
and do them. This is the primary purpose of the tassels.”
• “In this tassel, there are four sections of wraps. From right
to left (as Hebrew reads), there are 10 wraps in the first
section which corresponds to the Hebrew letter Yod. The
second section has 5 wraps which is Heh. The third section,
6 wraps is Waw. And the fourth section is Heh once again
with 5 wraps. This gives us the Tetragrammaton, Yahweh's
name. …an alternative method of tying it to indicate the
"613 commandments" in the law. However, the list of 613
was compiled by Rambam, a Jewish scholar who lived in
the 12th century CE. Rambam authored the Mishneh Torah,
a well known and often used commentary on the Talmud...”

Jews are expected to visit Hebron and the Cave of

• Korah was a very important man.
31. Numbers 16:3, All Israel Is Holy
• NAU Numbers 16:3 They assembled together against
Moses and Aaron, and said to them, "You have gone far
enough, for all the congregation are holy, every one of
them, and the LORD is in their midst; so why do you
exalt yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?“
• 2 true statements and a good question
• NAU Deuteronomy 7:6 "For you are a holy people to the
LORD your God; the LORD your God has chosen you to
be a people for His own possession out of all the
peoples who are on the face of the earth.
• God was in their midst. But God had proven that He
wanted Moses to lead. Moses hadn’t “exalted,” he was
humble. The rebels were just jealous.
32. Numbers 16:4, True Humility
• NAU Numbers 16:4 When Moses heard this, he fell on
his face;
• This was true humility before God in the presence of
this great sin.
• Then Moses proposes a test, much like in, 1 Kings
18:24
• He is humble not like the false teachers, NAU Jude 1:11
Woe to them! For they have gone the way of Cain, and
for pay they have rushed headlong into the error of
Balaam, and perished in the rebellion of Korah.
• Moses makes no defense of himself, “but God.”
33. Numbers 16:11,
We Grumble Against The LORD
• NAU Numbers 16:11 "Therefore you and all
your company are gathered together against
the LORD; but as for Aaron, who is he that you
grumble against him?
• In spite of our grumbling (or because of it?),
God is going to shape
• us, we must “shine like
• stars in the universe.”
34. Numbers 16:11,
We Grumble Against The LORD
• Dr. Ken Boa says in “Faceting”, “God sees each of our lives like
a treasure, like a gem. He desires to separate the gem from the
material in which it was found, clean it from the debris that still
surrounds it and then polish it. Still, an amorphous stone is not
brilliant. Faceting is the process by which the jeweler cuts his
stones. The more of these facets, the more beautiful a stone
becomes. But imagine being that stone! If God makes us
beautiful by a faceting process, we’re going to have to imagine
there will be quite a bit of pain involved. After the faceting,
though, we become brilliant; and like any good jeweler, God
sets us in a black velvet background to show us off. We live in
that black velvet background now, a “crooked and depraved
generation,” in which we must “shine like stars in the universe.”
We do this by refusing to grumble and complain, so that we
may “become blameless and pure, children of God without
fault” (Philippians 2:14-15)…”
35. Numbers 16:12, Dathan and Abiram
• NAU Numbers 16:12 Then Moses sent a
summons to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of
Eliab; but they said, "We will not come up.
• This is a slap in Moses’ face, and a complete
rejection of his authority.
• Then they make the absurd claim that he (not
God) took them out of “a land flowing with
milk and honey.”
36. Numbers 16:14, “put out the eyes”
• NAU Numbers 16:14 …Would you put out the
eyes of these men?...
• Dr Ryrie pg. 180, says, “…throwing dust in
their eyes (this is the meaning of put out the
eyes, vs. 14)…
• Others say it’s closer to our English, “Will you
blind them to the truth”?
38. Numbers 16:18, Strange Fire Again
• NAU Numbers 16:18 So they
each took his own censer and
put fire on it, and laid
incense on it; and they stood
at the doorway of the tent of
meeting, with Moses and
Aaron.
• This is sincere religious
practice, by devout men. But
their offerings and religion
brought them judgment.
39. Numbers 16:19, God Appeared To All
The Congregation
• NAU Numbers 16:19 Thus Korah assembled all
the congregation against them at the doorway
of the tent of meeting. And the glory of the
LORD appeared to all the congregation.
• That must have been dramatic.
• NAU Numbers 12:5 Then the LORD came down
in a pillar of cloud and stood at the doorway
of the tent, and He called Aaron and Miriam.
When they had both come forward,
40. Numbers 16:25, Moses Goes To Them
• NAU Numbers 16:25 Then Moses arose and
went to Dathan and Abiram, with the elders of
Israel following him,
• Ya’ won’t come, OK I’ll bring the judgment to
you.
• Apparently Korah and the elders scurried to
there own tents.
41. Numbers 16:32, Swallowed Them Up,
And Their Households
• NAU Numbers 16:32 and the earth opened its mouth
and swallowed them up, and their households, and all
the men who belonged to Korah with their
possessions.
• Apparently Korah family was not involved, or with him.
• NAU Numbers 26:10 and the earth opened its mouth
and swallowed them up along with Korah, when that
company died, when the fire devoured 250 men, so
that they became a warning. 11 The sons of Korah,
however, did not die.
• NAU Psalm 42-88, 42:1 For the choir director. A Maskil
of the sons of Korah…
43. Numbers 16:37, Presented Before The
LORD, They Are Holy
• NAU Numbers 16:37…take up the censers out of the midst of
the blaze, for they are holy; and you scatter the burning
coals abroad. 38 "As for the censers of these men who have
sinned at the cost of their lives, let them be made into
hammered sheets for a plating of the altar, since they did
present them before the LORD and they are holy…
• Has Christ presented you before the LORD, then you are
Holy
• NAU Philippians 1:6 For I am confident of this very thing,
that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until
the day of Christ Jesus.
• NAU Jude 1:24 Now to Him who is able to keep you from
stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His
glory blameless with great joy,
44. Numbers 16:41, The Next Day?
• NAU Numbers 16:41 But on the next day all the
congregation of the sons of Israel grumbled
against Moses and Aaron, saying, "You are the
ones who have caused the death of the
LORD'S people."
• Unbelievable!
• Could God have made Korah’s punishment any
more dramatic?
46. Numbers 15:38, Phylacteries Found
• Nine newfound penny-sized pieces of parchment belonging
to the Dead Sea Scrolls laid unopened for nearly six
decades before they were rediscovered in Israel. The scrolls
went unnoticed for years until one scholar came across
them while searching through the Israel Antiquities
Authority's (IAA) storerooms, the Times of Israel reported.
"Either they didn’t realize that these were also scrolls, or
they didn’t know how to open them," the IAA's head of
artefact treatment and conservation Pnina Shor
explained.... The tiny scrolls were found inside three
phylacteries, small leather boxes with Biblical versus
written on them (called tefillin) that are worn by Jews
during their morning prayers. Their discoverer, Yonatan
Adler, had the boxes scanned by an MRI at a hospital in
Israel in hopes there would be

to do it slowly, but we’ll first consult with all of our experts
about how to go about this,” said Schor, who would not
reveal when the process would start. “We need to do a lot
of research before we start doing this.”...

King Herod. The Dome of the Rock stands today where the Second Temple purportedly once stood.

• Today marks the start of the Hebrew month of Elul during which
thousands of Jews are expected to visit Hebron and the Cave of
Machpela. This is one of the 10 days a year when Isaac and Rebecca's
Hall, the area where they are buried, is open to Jews. Our forefathers and
mothers were paradigms of prayer and the masses flock to their graves,
whenever given the opportunity, to pour out their hearts to God.

• NAU Numbers 4:7 "Over the table of the bread of the Presence they shall also
spread a cloth of blue and put on it the dishes and the pans and the sacrificial
bowls and the jars for the drink offering, and the continual bread shall be on it.
• NAU Numbers 15:21 'From the first of your dough you shall give to the LORD an
offering throughout your generations. Jerusalem Inspiration
• Today's verse describes the commandment to give a portion of one's dough to the
Priests ("Kohanim") in the Temple. This commandment went into effect only once
the Jews entered the Land of Israel. The dough was given to the Kohanim since
they were not given a portion of land of their own through which to sustain
themselves. The job of the Kohanim was to educate the people and work in the
Temple, thereby providing the people with religious sustenance. They were, in
turn, provided with physical sustenance from the Nation. Such is one's existence in
the Land of Israel – the physical and spiritual are continuously intertwined.
