The Blood and the Goat: Leviticus and the Unseen War

The Blood and the Goat: Leviticus and the Unseen War

This episode explores the deeper meanings behind the sacrificial rituals in Leviticus, emphasizing the significance of blood as a currency in the supernatural economy, the role of the scapegoat, and the cosmic boundaries established through fire and smoke. It connects these ancient practices to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, illustrating how these rituals were not merely religious duties but acts of spiritual warfare that reveal the ongoing battle between good and evil.

00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:46.920
And were breaking the design.

15
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:51.600
Yeah yeh yo yo.

16
00:00:53.320 --> 00:01:01.119
Straight from the broadcast static.

17
00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:05.959
Picture. This the desert at high noon, heat rippling off

18
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:12.239
the stones, a priest in linen, moving with slow deliberate steps,

19
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:16.519
Blood on the altar, smoke curling into a sky that

20
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:21.959
looks like hammered bronze. Somewhere beyond the camp, a goat

21
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.200
stumbles into the wilderness, carrying the weight of a nation

22
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:31.159
on its back. People watch until the animal is a speck,

23
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:36.319
and then nothing. If you listen hard enough, you can

24
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:44.519
almost hear the camp exhale on benettantin. And this is

25
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:48.319
broadcasting seeds, where we peel back the polite surface of

26
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:53.319
things and poke at the wiring underneath. And today we

27
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:58.760
are not talking about rules for ancient barbecues. We are

28
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:02.959
stepping into living as it was meant to be read,

29
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:10.400
not a dusty legal manual, a field guide to supernatural contact.

30
00:02:11.439 --> 00:02:15.400
Now the Bible says the life of the creature is

31
00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:21.360
in the blood. That is not a metaphor, that is mechanics.

32
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:26.639
Blood on the altar is not theater for bored deities.

33
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:35.960
It is payment. Territory is being marked, Claims being canceled.

34
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:40.680
The line between clean and unclean is being cut with

35
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:45.560
a very sharp knife. You can smell the iron, you

36
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:50.000
can taste the ash, and suddenly the wilderness around Israel

37
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:56.599
does not feel empty anymore. It feels occupied. Then there

38
00:02:56.680 --> 00:03:01.039
is a goat at two goats. Actually, one meets the

39
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:05.520
blade and its blood is carried inside to reconcile a

40
00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:12.319
people with their god. The other becomes the scapegoat, loaded

41
00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:19.000
with confession and sent away to a zazel. Now that

42
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:23.159
little phrase has teeth. It drags us into the older

43
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:29.560
memory of the Watchers, into a story where rebel beings

44
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:36.159
taught forbidden arts, shattered boundaries, and left a stain that

45
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:40.960
had to be dealt with not just in the human heart,

46
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:45.599
but in the unseen map of the world. If that

47
00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:50.919
sounds strange, good you are hearing the text the way

48
00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:59.479
the first hearers did with their hair standing up. Here's

49
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:06.800
the uncome trouble question. Were israel sacrifices only about pleasing God?

50
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:17.279
Or were they about cutting off rival claims? Think legal warfare,

51
00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:26.240
not vague spirituality, Think spiritual counter insurgency. Fire consumes the

52
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:31.560
offering and draws a bright perimeter around sacred space. The

53
00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:38.639
scapegoat exits the grid, hauling guilt and defilement into enemy terrain,

54
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.680
as if the camp is being decontaminated and the trash

55
00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:47.399
is being escorted to the dump at the edge of nowhere.

56
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:52.720
This episode is not about gore. It is about governance.

57
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:57.680
Who gets to claim a life, Who has the right

58
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:02.439
to dwell in a place? Who writes the rules for

59
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:09.680
what touches you? Your family, and your city. Leviticus says,

60
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:15.040
those questions are answered in blood, smoke, and a goat

61
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.480
that walks out of camp and does not come back.

62
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:25.959
So if you are new here, welcome. If you have

63
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.360
been around, you know the drill. I am going to

64
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:34.879
ask hard questions, respect your intelligence, and keep the mystery intact.

65
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:38.600
In return, I ask for one small thing that keeps

66
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:43.000
the show alive. Tap like share the episode with a

67
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.279
friend who geeks out on the weird corners of scripture,

68
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:52.360
drop a review with a sentence about what hit you.

69
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:59.560
That is how this show grows. So buckle up. We're

70
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:03.439
going to follow the smoke track, the hoofprints and see

71
00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:14.040
where the line between seen and unseen actually runs. Section one.

72
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:21.439
Blood as currency in the supernatural economy, So let's start

73
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:26.800
with blood. Leviticus seventeen eleven lays it down flat, for

74
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.519
the life of the creature is in the blood, and

75
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.959
I have given it to you to make atonement for

76
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:40.079
yourselves on the altar. That's not poetry. That's a statement

77
00:06:40.160 --> 00:06:44.240
of mechanics. And in a worldview of ancient Israel, blood

78
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:48.279
wasn't just red liquid that dripped out when you cut

79
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:54.319
your finger. Blood was the carrier of life itself, and

80
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:59.759
life was the only thing valuable enough to settle accounts

81
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:05.439
between heaven and earth. Think of it like this. We

82
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:09.759
use paper money and digital numbers in a bank account

83
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:15.879
to represent wealth. The Israelites used blood. It was the

84
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.879
currency of the unseen world, and when priests splashed it

85
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:24.560
on the altar, they weren't playing religious theater. They were

86
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:29.439
making a payment. They were closing a legal gap between

87
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:35.959
an imperfect people and a perfect God. Now here's where

88
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:40.720
it gets kind of weird. Other cultures around Israel also

89
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:47.160
sacrificed animals. The Canaanites, the Moabites, the Egyptians. They all

90
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:56.160
understood blood as powerful, but their rituals often aimed at

91
00:07:56.319 --> 00:08:00.879
feeding or appeasing gods that were, in the Biblical view,

92
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:10.639
impostors and rebellious spiritual beings demanding rent. Essentially, israel system

93
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:15.240
was different. It wasn't about keeping cosmic thugs happy. It

94
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:20.439
was about cutting off those claims entirely and anchoring themselves

95
00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:26.120
in Yahweh, the most High. And blood wasn't just about

96
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:33.000
forgiveness of sin. It was also about territory. Sprinkle it

97
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:38.279
here and suddenly that ground is marked, that space becomes

98
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:42.080
holy the same way a flag on a battlefield tells

99
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:49.480
everyone who owns that hill. Blood on the altar told

100
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:53.639
the unseen realm, this place belongs to Yahweh, not you.

101
00:08:54.600 --> 00:08:59.519
It was a supernatural property deed signed in life itself.

102
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:05.399
It's almost like God gave Israel a tool of spiritual

103
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:12.759
counter warfare. Every sacrifice wasn't just an act of worship.

104
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:17.679
It was a line drawn in the sand, a declaration

105
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.840
that the camp, the people, the land, all of it

106
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:27.159
was under divine protection. And in a world where demons,

107
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:32.039
fallen angels and pagan gods were always trying to muscle

108
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:39.440
in that declaration, it mattered. So when we read Leviticus today,

109
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:44.080
it's tempting to see a bloody mess of outdated rituals right,

110
00:09:45.960 --> 00:09:53.159
but through broadcasting Seed's eyes we see something far sharper.

111
00:09:54.440 --> 00:10:02.720
These weren't primitive superstitions. They were supernatural transaction, intentional acts

112
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:09.000
of spiritual warfare. Blood was the weapon, the shield, and

113
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:15.039
the receipt all rolled into one. Now it raises a

114
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:21.120
question that should make us uncomfortable. If life is in

115
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:25.679
the blood, and if blood marks territory in the unseen realm,

116
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:31.759
then what was at stake every time Israel performed or

117
00:10:31.879 --> 00:10:38.320
failed to perform these sacrifices. Was it just personal guilt

118
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:42.840
or was it about who really governed the land itself?

119
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:53.159
Section two A Zazel and the Watchers the wilderness connection.

120
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:59.960
All right, so now let's talk about this. The goat,

121
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:06.960
the scapegoat, not the one slaughtered, but the one that walked.

122
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:13.720
Leviticus sixteen calls it the scapegoat if you ever wondered

123
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:18.320
where that came from, And the text says it was

124
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:23.840
sent to a Zazel in the wilderness. And here's where

125
00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:30.399
things get spine tingling, because Azazel isn't just some random word.

126
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:35.159
It's tied to one of the darkest chapters in supernatural

127
00:11:35.240 --> 00:11:38.960
history because in the Book of Enoch, a text that

128
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.080
didn't make it into the Cannon but was well known,

129
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:49.200
is well known in the ancient world, Azazel is one

130
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:54.360
of the Watchers. These were angels who rebelled against God,

131
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.480
descended to Mount Herman, and brought chaos to the earth.

132
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:08.360
They taught humans forbidden knowledge, how to make weapons, enchantments, sorcery,

133
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:16.519
even cosmetics and jewelry used for seduction. Basically, they cracked

134
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:23.120
open the door to corruption, and their offspring. The Nephelum

135
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:29.360
wrecked creation so badly that the flood was God's reset button.

136
00:12:30.440 --> 00:12:34.960
So when Levinicus says a goat was sent to Azazel,

137
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:41.519
the original audience would have felt that chill. This wasn't

138
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:45.360
just an animal wandering into the desert. It was a

139
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:51.480
ritual banishment, a cosmic message. Here's the sin of the people.

140
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:56.399
Take it back to the wilderness, the territory of the fallen.

141
00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:02.919
The goat wasn't going free. It being exiled into enemy terrain,

142
00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:08.440
carrying with it the pollution that had no place in

143
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:14.799
the camp of God. The wilderness itself carried weight in

144
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:20.399
Hebrew thought. It wasn't empty space. It was the haunt

145
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:26.679
of demons, a chaotic borderland where order gave way to wilderness.

146
00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:31.879
Think about Jesus later being tempted in the wilderness. It's

147
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:38.879
the same backdrop. The desert wasn't just harsh land. It

148
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:44.919
was a stage for spiritual conflict. And that makes the

149
00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:50.399
scapegoat ritual even more powerful. One goat dies and its

150
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:55.159
blood reconciles the people to Yahweh, and the other goat

151
00:13:55.960 --> 00:14:00.120
doesn't die in the camp, It gets loaded with trans

152
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:06.080
gression and escorted right out to where the unseen forces alurked.

153
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:10.399
It's almost like Israel was dumping its toxic waste on

154
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:16.320
a Zazel's doorstep. Here, this belongs to you. Keep it,

155
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:22.559
don't come back. If you sit with that for a minute,

156
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:28.879
you realize this wasn't simply about forgiveness. It was about

157
00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:34.799
cutting ties, about handing the enemy back its junk so

158
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:40.600
God's people could be free. The Scapegoat ritual was an

159
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:45.519
exorcism on a national scale. So next time you picture

160
00:14:45.600 --> 00:14:49.600
the goat stumbling away, don't imagine a sad animal in

161
00:14:49.679 --> 00:14:56.039
the desert sun. Imagine a spiritual transaction, a legal transfer

162
00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:00.200
of guilt back into the lap of the very being

163
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:05.080
who introduced corruption in the first place. It was as

164
00:15:05.120 --> 00:15:09.120
if Israel was saying, We're done carrying this, you deal

165
00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:20.879
with it. Section three The scapegoat and spiritual transfer technology.

166
00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:26.559
All right, So now we zero in on the mechanics.

167
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:30.960
The scapegoat ritual wasn't random. It wasn't just a priest

168
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:33.840
saying a few words and letting it go wander off.

169
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:39.759
It was step by step spiritual technology designed to make

170
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:45.840
something invisible happen in the visible world. Here's how it

171
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:50.759
went down on the day of Atonement, two goats were

172
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:57.080
chosen by lot. One was sacrificed. Its blood went behind

173
00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:01.360
the veil into the Holy of Holies to cleanse the

174
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:08.960
sanctuary itself. That's huge because sin didn't just stain people,

175
00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:15.559
It stained space. The very environment became polluted and had

176
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:20.320
to be scrubbed with blood. But the second goat, that's

177
00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:25.159
where things get strange. The High Priest would lay both

178
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:29.960
hands on the goat's head. He would confess all the

179
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:34.960
sins of Israel out loud, transferring them symbolically into this

180
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:42.200
living creature. Every lie, theft, act of violence, idolatry, every

181
00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:49.360
secret shame dumped onto one trembling animal. Think about that

182
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:53.000
for a second. You're standing in a crowd, and you

183
00:16:53.159 --> 00:16:57.159
know that the words leaving the priest's mouth are your sins,

184
00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:04.279
your family's sins, your community's sins. The air is heavy

185
00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:08.599
with it. Then, when the priest is done, a designated

186
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:15.039
man leads the goat away. Now, ancient rabbinic tradition even

187
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:19.920
adds that sometimes they'd drive the goat off a cliff

188
00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:22.759
to make sure it didn't wander back into the camp.

189
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:27.039
But can't you imagine the awkwardness if the scapegoat just

190
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:32.720
strolled back in a week later, everyone would be like, hey,

191
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:38.880
there's our sinoat. Guests were just doomed. The ritual only

192
00:17:39.000 --> 00:17:44.680
worked if the transfer stuck. Now here's where it connects

193
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:50.519
with other ancient practices. Across the ancient world, cultures used

194
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:58.839
what anthropologists call substitution rituals. If a king was under

195
00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:02.400
a curse, he might place his clothes on a servant

196
00:18:03.240 --> 00:18:07.200
and send that servant away. If a village was plagued,

197
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:11.079
they might transfer the curse to an object, or an animal,

198
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:16.480
or even a person, and then drive it out. It

199
00:18:16.559 --> 00:18:22.000
was about containment and displacement. The evil was real, and

200
00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:28.720
the ritual moved it. Israel's version, though, was unique because

201
00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:33.880
it was tied directly to Yahweh's authority. It wasn't superstition,

202
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:39.039
it was legal action in the cosmic courtroom. The sins

203
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:43.359
didn't just vanish. They were assigned back to the wilderness,

204
00:18:44.000 --> 00:18:49.240
back into a Zazel's territory, stripped of their power over

205
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:56.599
God's people. Think about it like a cosmic hard drive wipe.

206
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:02.799
The escapegoat was the delete, and once that goat was gone,

207
00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.240
the ledger was clear. That's why the Day of Atonement

208
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:12.119
was the most sacred day of the year, and without it,

209
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:16.319
Israel's sins would pile up like garbage until the whole

210
00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:22.079
system was corrupted. With it, the slate was wiped clean

211
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:30.039
and the people could start fresh under God's covering. And

212
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:35.240
here's the kicker. If that system worked on a national scale,

213
00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:40.839
what does it say about the deeper reality of sin, guilt,

214
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:46.559
and unseen powers. The scapegoat wasn't just a ritual, It

215
00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:52.839
was a visual sermon. Sin sticks until it's transferred, and

216
00:19:52.880 --> 00:20:03.000
once transferred, it must be exiled, never welcome back. Section

217
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:10.200
four cosmic boundaries, fire, smoke, and sacred space. So let's

218
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:17.400
shift focus from the goat to the fire, because if

219
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:21.480
the scapegoat was about transferring sin outward, the altar was

220
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:27.839
about drawing a boundary inward. Fire in the Bible isn't

221
00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:32.480
just heat and light. It's a marker of presence. It's

222
00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:39.079
God showing up, often with a warning label. Approach with reverence,

223
00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:48.480
or get burned. Leviticus describes the altar fire as something

224
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:53.200
that was never allowed to go out day and night.

225
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:57.559
The priests fed it. That wasn't about keeping the camp warm,

226
00:20:58.160 --> 00:21:03.200
That was about maintaining an active boundary between heaven and earth.

227
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:08.240
When the smoke rose, it was a visible line, a

228
00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:14.319
flare shot into the unseen, saying, this territory belongs to Yahweh.

229
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:20.599
The ancients got this fire had always been sacred. Pagans

230
00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:25.839
burned incense and sacrifices to their gods, hoping to attract

231
00:21:25.920 --> 00:21:31.559
favor or ward off wrath. Israel's fire it was different.

232
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:37.359
It wasn't a bribe. It was a declaration. Every lamb,

233
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.759
every bowl, every handful of grain that turned to ash

234
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:48.640
was another reminder that God's claim on Israel was non negotiable. Now,

235
00:21:49.480 --> 00:21:53.480
think about what happened when someone crossed that line. Remember

236
00:21:55.000 --> 00:22:05.079
Nadab and Abihu in Aboo in Leviticus ten. They offered

237
00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:10.039
strange fire before the Lord, and fire came out and

238
00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:16.720
consumed them brutal. Yes, but the message was unmistakable. Boundaries matter.

239
00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:21.880
The fire wasn't a campfire story. It was a supernatural

240
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:27.920
enforcement mechanism. Step wrong and you're playing with cosmic electricity.

241
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:33.400
This turns the sacrificial system into something even. It's just

242
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:41.119
much bigger than a religious duty. It's essentially spiritual perimeter security.

243
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:46.799
And the altar fire was the fence line, the sacrificial

244
00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:52.200
blood was the gate pass, and the priestthood was the

245
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:56.960
watch crew. That sounds military, touristic, and in a way

246
00:22:57.200 --> 00:23:02.920
it was. Israel wasn't just fireing physical enemies like the Amalekites.

247
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:09.720
They were holding ground against spiritual squatters, beings that claimed

248
00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:13.480
the land, the people, and even the very air. And

249
00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:17.279
here's a detail that often gets missed. When the fire

250
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:23.200
consumed the offering, the Bible says it became a pleasing

251
00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:30.519
aroma to God. That's just not about divine preference in barbecue.

252
00:23:31.640 --> 00:23:34.559
In the ancient world, the romas were thought to travel

253
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:39.559
into the unseen to nourish or satisfy the divine realm.

254
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:45.200
Israel sacrifices were a deliberate pushback against the idea that

255
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:50.119
the demons of Canaan had any right to that smoke.

256
00:23:51.079 --> 00:24:00.200
Only Yahweh got fed, only Yahweh. Yahweh's claims stood, So

257
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.519
every wisp of smoke rising from the tabernacle was like

258
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:09.440
a flag on a battlefield hill, a declaration of cosmic sovereignty.

259
00:24:09.920 --> 00:24:13.799
The camp wasn't just a campsite, it was sacred ground.

260
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:18.559
The wilderness around might have been crawling with chaos, but

261
00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:24.039
inside the perimeter. Fire and blood kept the unseen forces

262
00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:28.680
at bay. And if the scapegoat ritual was about exporting pollution,

263
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:34.640
the altar fire was about importing holiness. One pushed out,

264
00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:40.480
the other drew down. Together, they turned Israel's worship into

265
00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:46.759
spiritual warfare, where territory, purity, and presence all collided in

266
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:55.920
fire and smoke. Section five. From Levitigus to the Cross,

267
00:24:56.440 --> 00:25:03.079
the final scapegoat through blood, his currency, the eerie connection

268
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:09.039
to Azazel, the strange mechanics of spiritual transfer, and the

269
00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:13.160
fire that carved out sacred space. But all of it,

270
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:18.920
the goats, the blood, the smoke wasn't an end in itself.

271
00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:25.880
This was a rehearsal, a shadow play. Every detail pointed

272
00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:34.720
forward to something bigger, stranger, and far more final. Fast

273
00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:40.319
forward a thousand years. A rabbi from Galilee is arrested.

274
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:47.400
He's tried, mocked, whipped, and finally led outside the city

275
00:25:47.440 --> 00:25:54.680
walls carrying a wooden cross. He doesn't just die as

276
00:25:54.720 --> 00:26:01.400
another martyr. He dies as both goats at once. Think

277
00:26:01.400 --> 00:26:06.960
about that, both goats at once. Like the first goat,

278
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:11.720
He's sacrificed. His blood is poured out, not on an altar,

279
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:15.200
in a tent, but on the beams of a Roman

280
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:20.839
execution rack. The Gospels are deliberate about this. His blood

281
00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:26.920
wasn't random, It was for many, for the forgiveness of sins.

282
00:26:27.319 --> 00:26:31.920
That's Matthew twenty six, twenty eight. It was the ultimate

283
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:38.759
supernatural transaction, life given for life, once and for all.

284
00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:46.279
But he also plays the part of the scapegoat. He's

285
00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:50.039
led outside the camp. Just as the goat was driven

286
00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:53.400
into the wilderness. He carries not just the sins of

287
00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:58.000
a nation, but the sins of the world. Isaiah fifty

288
00:26:58.000 --> 00:27:03.119
three says, the Lord has lain on him the iniquity

289
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:12.160
of us. All that's priestly language. That's the hands pressing

290
00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:18.359
down on the goat's head, Only this time it's cosmic.

291
00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:24.039
All the garbage, all the rebellion, all the curses get

292
00:27:24.079 --> 00:27:31.160
loaded onto him, and then he's cut off, exiled into

293
00:27:31.200 --> 00:27:37.039
death itself. Now here's where it gets wild. In the Viticus,

294
00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:41.680
the scapegoat vanishes into the desert, and that's the end

295
00:27:41.720 --> 00:27:45.559
of the story. You don't see it again. But in

296
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:52.119
the Gospels, the final scapegoat he comes back. Three days later.

297
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:57.400
He walks out of the tomb. The sins he carried,

298
00:27:58.200 --> 00:28:06.119
stay buried, but he returns alive and victorious. That's never

299
00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:14.440
happened in Leviticus. That's never happened anywhere. It's the supernatural pilot,

300
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:19.640
the supernatural plot twist. The rituals were hinting at all along.

301
00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:25.200
And if blood really is currency, then the cross was

302
00:28:25.240 --> 00:28:33.359
the ultimate wire transfer. Every claim the enemy had, every accusation,

303
00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:41.119
every demonic foothold got canceled in full. Collegians two fifteen

304
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:46.720
says he disarmed the powers and authorities, making a public

305
00:28:46.799 --> 00:28:52.599
spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. That's

306
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:59.480
courtroom language, that's battlefield language. It's the language of total victory.

307
00:29:01.119 --> 00:29:05.240
So here's the takeaway. The strange and bloody rituals of

308
00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:09.160
Leviticus weren't about primitive people trying to figure out religion.

309
00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:15.200
They were previews of the ultimate act of spiritual warfare.

310
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:19.720
They were blueprints pointing to a moment when God himself

311
00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:25.160
would become the sacrifice and the scapegoat shutting down Isazel,

312
00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:29.680
purging the stain, and throwing open the gates of sacred

313
00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:35.519
space to anyone who would walk in. When you look

314
00:29:35.559 --> 00:29:38.400
at it through that lens, Leviticus stops being a book

315
00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:42.880
of rules and starts being a survival manual for the

316
00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:48.480
unseen war, a manual fulfilled at the cross. And the

317
00:29:48.559 --> 00:29:54.920
question that leaves us with is sharp. If Jesus carried

318
00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:58.359
it all away, why do we keep trying to drag

319
00:29:58.400 --> 00:30:11.839
our sins back into camp outro. That's Leviticus through the

320
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:19.599
supernatural lens. Blood as currency, fire as boundary, a goat

321
00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:22.400
wandering in the wilderness with the sins of a nation,

322
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:27.240
and a thread that stretches all the way to the cross.

323
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:33.039
What looked like primitive rituals was actually spiritual warfare written

324
00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:37.279
into the DNA of a people. It wasn't just worship,

325
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:42.880
It was cosmic strategy. And maybe that's the part we forget.

326
00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:52.920
We forget. We live like the battle is only about politics,

327
00:30:53.680 --> 00:31:00.119
culture wars, or personal struggles. But man Leviticus reminds us

328
00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:06.400
the real fight was always between has always been in

329
00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:14.440
the unseen Boundaries are being drawn, claims are being made,

330
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:18.200
and every one of us is caught in the middle.

331
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:22.799
The question isn't whether you're in the war, and I

332
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:26.559
keep saying this, the question is whose territory are you

333
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:31.440
standing on? In this episode? If this episode made you

334
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:36.359
think differently about what's hidden in those dusty pages of scripture.

335
00:31:36.920 --> 00:31:40.759
I'd really love for you to help me plant more seeds.

your eyes, Oh blood on the altar, your discernment sharp smoke.

343
00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:17.319
Remember sometimes the strangest story are the one's truest of

344
00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:19.160
all other walks by.

345
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:25.920
Leviticus was in law, it was warm. Yeah, the life's

346
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:29.279
in the blood. That's the payment due prees of the altar,

347
00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:33.400
Smoke rising through the currency of heaven. The transaction's rail

348
00:32:33.799 --> 00:32:36.920
cut ties with the darkness ink sign and still see

349
00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:39.920
the watchers tossed secrets, left stains on the land of Sazel.

350
00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:42.720
Weight silent with a chain in his hand, sort of

351
00:32:42.759 --> 00:32:45.960
po bears the weight sin pressed on its head. Exiled

352
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:48.039
in the wild with a fall in one's.

353
00:32:47.839 --> 00:32:57.839
Train into the wilderness. Escape your couple carrying seas, don't

354
00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:07.279
so ISAs a shadow feed up the fuck down. There's

355
00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:10.480
drawing in a holy down.

356
00:33:11.480 --> 00:33:14.000
It ain't superstition, it's courtroom.

357
00:33:13.599 --> 00:33:18.400
Law, cosmic transactions that the prophets saw, blood marks the porter,

358
00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:22.720
fire guards the line, every sacrifice screaming this land is mine.

359
00:33:23.160 --> 00:33:24.839
One goat slaughter and blood.

360
00:33:24.519 --> 00:33:25.440
Stains the ground.

361
00:33:26.039 --> 00:33:28.200
One go wandering, can't turn around.

362
00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:31.000
The desert ain't emptiest chaos domain.

363
00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:33.960
But the people walk clean because the escapegoat took but.

364
00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:41.559
Into the wilder nest the escape. Don't go boost carry

365
00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:50.519
the sis, Dad don'd know to as shadow deep the

366
00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:54.119
flock down there He's drawn in.

367
00:33:58.559 --> 00:33:59.640
Blood was the currency.

368
00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:02.519
Fire, the wall.

369
00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:09.639
Smoke was the signal holiness calls from Levity, kisses Richel

370
00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:10.679
to a cross.

371
00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:13.280
On the hill. The unseen war rages, but the promised

372
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:16.639
stand still. Christ became both coaches. Yeah he can't that Christ,

373
00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:20.480
bloods filled. Blood's not a second sacrifice, dragged our sins

374
00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:23.960
to the grave, and immedia solve rose three days later

375
00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:26.119
with the keys in his palm. So when you read

376
00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:28.679
the fit, it just don't skim the page. It's a

377
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:31.599
ball man. You code it for a cosmic age. Blood

378
00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:34.480
fire and a gold strange scene right right, Put it's

379
00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:36.199
prophecy fulfilled.

380
00:34:35.639 --> 00:34:45.800
In the doctor line into the wild and ask there

381
00:34:46.000 --> 00:35:00.360
is drawn. Put in the gold the unseen War live sure,
