On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, Haggai 2:10
Thus says the LORD of hosts: Ask the priests about the law: If someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment and touches with his fold bread or stew or wine or oil or any kind of food, does it become holy? The priests answered and said, No. Haggai 2:11-12
Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, This is the law of the sin offering. In the place where the burnt offering is killed shall the sin offering be killed before the LORD; it is most holy. The priest who offers it for sin shall eat it. In a holy place it shall be eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting. Whatever touches its flesh shall be holy, and when any of its blood is splashed on a garment, you shall wash that on which it was splashed in a holy place. Leviticus 6:25-27
Then Haggai said, If someone who is unclean by contact with a dead body touches any of these, does it become unclean? The priests answered and said, It does become unclean. Haggai 2:13
Whoever touches the dead body of any person shall be unclean seven days And whatever the unclean person touches shall be unclean, and anyone who touches it shall be unclean until evening. Number 19:11, 22
Then Haggai answered and said, So is it with this people, and with this nation before me, declares the LORD, and so with every work of their hands. And what they offer there is unclean. Haggai 2:14
Now then, consider from this day onward. Before stone was placed upon stone in the temple of the LORD,how did you fare? When one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were but ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw fifty measures, there were but twenty.I struck you and all the products of your toil with blight and with mildew and with hail, yet you did not turn to me, declares the LORD. Haggai 2:15-17
Consider from this day onward, from the twenty- fourth day of the ninth month. Since the day that the foundation of the LORD's temple was laid, consider: Is the seed yet in the barn? Indeed, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have yielded nothing. Haggai 2:18-19
But from this day on I will bless you. Haggai 2:19
The Mosaic Covenant and its system of cleanness, uncleanness, and sacrifice was temporary and incomplete Jesus fulfilled and transformed the whole system through His life, death, and resurrection
Our uncleanness (sin) is: Universal (Rom. 3:10-12) Inherent (Psa. 51:5) Pervasive (Isa. 64:6) We have all become like one who is unclean, and We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment. all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment. (Isa. 64:6)
Jesus was perfectly clean, perfectly righteous, and perfectly free from the curse He didn t come to show us up; He came to save us The Great Exchange
Jesus, alone, can make you clean; Jesus must touch you (Luke 5:12-13) Go on believing that you are clean (Heb. 10:19-25) Go on becoming what you already are (1 Cor. 6:19- 20) Blessing is found in obedience (Luke 10:28)
