You are saved by faith, not by works
What was a ‘scapegoat’ in Leviticus?
The priest put all Israel's sins on the goat and sent it into the wilderness
“Love everyone, so long as they deserve it. If someone hurts you badly, they no longer deserve your forgiveness.”

The fish, not the cross!!
According to Leviticus, what makes purification possible?
Blood, given in exchange for a life
“Whatsoever you ask for, if you ask for it with enough faith, God will honor your faith and surely give it to you.”
God knows what is best for you - and what you want may not be what is best for you!

In Numbers, a prophet says, "I see him, but not now. I see him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob. A scepter will rise out of Israel."

Star = star of Bethlehem
Scepter = king
