Leviticus: A Quick Overview | Whiteboard Bible Study

- Leviticus is a book about holiness: it's a list of rules that the ancient Israelites believed they had to follow in order to coexist with their God. The writers of the Bible believed that long ago, the most powerful being in the cosmos chose to manifest his presence on earth, in the midst of the young nation of Israel. This God was so sacred and heavenly that anything crass, common, profane, or contrary to God would burn up when it came close to him.
The Israelites believed that because God was "holy" (utterly sacred), then the whole nation of people who lived close to him needed to be holy, too. Leviticus is a book of rules that the ancients believed would help keep them ritualistically pure enough to coexist with this holy God.
Leviticus may not be the most popular book of the Bible, but if you understand why it was written, you have a head start on understanding the rest of the Old Testament. This video walks through the important themes and high-level structure of this book.
You can learn more about the whole Bible (especially the reasons why God and Israel were in this tenuous situation in the first place) in my ebook: The Beginner's Guide to the Bible. And if you want to see a shot of the whiteboard, just check out my profile on Leviticus.

"Strange fire" translates to "unauthorized fire", so what we know is that Nadab and Abihu thought they could tweak some of what God asked for in his Holy commandment, and they were promptly destroyed. That sends the message that the commands of God must be kept Holy, and part of what that means is you CANNOT modify from what He has asked. Accuracy does matter. Saying we can do things just a bit differently is to not revere God as Holy in our hearts.
Very true
But sounds tough too

Wow! I think your precise explanation is intriguing. Thank you for helping me to understand as a beginner like me who just started reading the OT.
You nailed it. No longer will I read through Leviticus wondering what is the purpose, why,why???? Now it all makes sense. Thank you for making it so simple & straight forward. God bless.
This is amazing. The way you explain it is so easy to understand and I can't thank you enough for making this video!
Sorry to be so off topic but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid lost the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Rocco Jude Instablaster =)
@Jayceon Arthur thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Jayceon Arthur It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my ass!
@Rocco Jude glad I could help :D
My first time in 20yrs of reading my bible to understand leviticus.. Thank you.. Glory to almighty God. #2021
This is the most beautiful explanation I have ever heard, THANK you for making this very clear to understand.
I'm trying to read the Torah and the old testament, king James Bible, comparatively.
You're analysis makes more sense of it than I can personally understand. Thanks for your deep biblical knowledge. You are doing Gods work.
For the first time in life I read entire book of Leviticus and I must say it's a really really important book. Very powerful insights to understand what God expects of people. Shallow people may not like it, but anyone who wants a deeper relationship with God must read it.
How so??
Did you read about owning at beating slaves?
Jeffrey, thank you for this! Reading this on my own was not easy, but you’ve given me a better understanding of the purpose of Leviticus!
I’m new to your channel and are looking forward to watching more of your videos-thanks again!🙏🏾
Glad it was helpful, Cathy!
@@OverviewBible praise the Lord sir,
I found your videos, recently. I am impressed with the way you taught. I would like to dub your videos in Hindi, so that Hindi speaking people also can learn this. Please let me know if you allow.

i have been reading and watching Bible expositions (John Macarthur, the late RC Sproul, Steve Lawson, David Pawson and the Bible project series among others) and I must say that the way you summarize and explain every book in the Bible is close to precision. God bless you and keep up doing this great ministry for the glory of God helping teachers and preachers to be precise and accurate in exposing God’s word🙏😇😍
An exciting display of the word of God in its simplest form. Many thanks
This is my second time watching this awesome video. I gotta say, both times I laughed out loud when you said "Aaron was having a really bad day" lol! Jeffrey your work has helped me have a much deeper understanding of God's word. I love how you explain it from various aspects. Hoping to see more videos from you soon!
Thank you and bless you Jeffrey. Keep it up, this is such an invaluable tool for Bible study! Can't wait to collect the whole 66 book set :P
Absolutely amazing!!.....JUST what I was looking for this evening - an OVERVIEW of the book of Leviticus, which will help me invaluably with reading the individual chapters (which could otherwise have felt a bit like being lost in a maze of precise physical regulations, without necessarily understanding the APPLICATION of it to us as believers under the NEW Covenant)....You have provided us with a clear, concise understanding of the STRUCTURE of the book, along with an explanation of how it is an absolutely ESSENTIAL part of the ongoing story of Israel and their (and our) God and, by implication, of the understanding of how WE OURSELVES can co-exist with Creator of The Universe.
Thank you, and you've just got yourself a new subscriber!!!👍👍👍😃😃😃 (by the way it's also SO COOL and important to have that very visual DIAGRAMMATIC SCHEME of the whole book behind you all the time, as a sort of frame of reference on which to hang everything you are telling us, and help us REMEMBER it all!)
This is the first of your "Bible book" videos I have watched, but I may very well look at your others when I happen to be studying the individual books concerned.....Thank you again
So helpful thank you! Subscribed and will continue to watch all of these as they relate to my studies. This is A LOT of work, and concisely delivered, and the writings/drawings help too. You've done a great job, I am so grateful for your work. Glory to God and God bless you!! 💙
Thank you for making these videos. Really refreshing to hear the interpretation and so helpful.
Thank you as I am currently reading through it.
Just before I press play ▶️ 😅 thank you for doing this. I just started studying the bible and every word makes me wonder. I'm happy to be here
I truly like and appreciate your teaching of the holy words of God almighty
God bless you and your family abundantly and you continue your video for people like me
Yes !! I have been studying this book lately too

GOD moving from the top of the mountain to the tent…. That was the pictures I needed to see. It is an amazing and humbling thing that HE would want to associate with us! I think we really have no understanding as to who HE really is
You an excellant teacher, very visual im reading the book now this video helps explain stuff.
Thanks Jefferey
Your overview of each book is not just helping me read the bible but understand it.
Yes so true
I am going to watch more thank you for making them!
Wonderfully explained..God bless you abundantly
Explained with organization and understanding. Thank you!!
Thank you for your crystal teaching 🙏
The Bible cannot be appreciated without understanding it’s historical basis and just how real all of these things were. These things happened, they are not myths. Even the very tabernacle itself took hold of Egyptian-style architectural design, reinforcing that these events were not in a bubble secluded from the rest of the world, although they were designed to be sanctified spiritually and thus physically, but they still occurred within the same plane of existence as other contemporary cultures and civilizations. They had a duty to perform, and what we read is their understanding of how God instructed them to follow and obey him.
Due to their failure, we have a higher priest, one that needs not annual sacrifice as those of the temple or in the tabernacle needed, but by himself given up once, was an atonement not only for the children of Israel, but for the whole of humanity. That sacrifice was God become incarnate through the redemptive blood of Jesus Christ on the cross, the son of God, establishing a more perfect law, through the very word of God incorruptible in Christ.
Really appreciate that explanation….first time through the Bible in its entirety and I was struggling. ❤🎉
Thank you!!! I'm reading this book right now, but I'm almost read other times and I always finish without a clear mensage and this time its seems different. Congrats for your simple words and your illustration! Amazing! God bless you.

The Creator humbling Himself by coming down to live with His creation and implementing His covenant enabling an interim redemption for His creation... and in Bethlehem; the Creator again humbling Himself by coming down to live with His creation, this time implementing His new covenant enabling total redemption for His creation.
God is 100% responsible for sin
