Acharei Mot/Kedoshim אחרי מות/קדושים אחרי מות/קדושים

[Lev 11:44 KJV] 44 For I [am] the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I [am] holy… [Lev 20:26 KJV] 26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD [am] holy, and have severed you from [other] people, that ye should be mine. [1Pe 1:16 KJV] 16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. Genesis 1- Darkness, void, death Deuteronomy 34- The death of Moses, the great light & prophet God starts in the center and makes us Kedoshim wrapped in a body of death & sin

[Rom 7:24-25 KJV] 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. [2Co 4:6-7 KJV] 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. God wraps extraordinary with ordinary, holy with unholy

After the death- After the death of Yeshua… then what? Kedoshim- Be holy! [Lev 11:44 KJV] 44 For I [am] the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I [am] holy…

Acts 15:1 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, [and said], Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved. Acts 15:5-6 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command [them] to keep the law of Moses. And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. Acts 15:7-9 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up… And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them (the Gentiles) the Holy Ghost, even as [he did] unto us; And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

Acts 15:19-21 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and [from] fornication, and [from] things strangled, and [from] blood. For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day. Acts 15:28-29 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things; That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

1.Abstain from pollutions of idols: [Lev 19:4 KJV] 4 Turn ye not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I [am] the LORD your God. 2.Fornication: [Lev 18:6, 20, KJV] 6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover [their] nakedness:.. 20 Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination. 23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith…

1.things strangled, and from blood: [Lev 17:10, 15 KJV] 10 And whatsoever man [there be] of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people And every soul that eateth that which died [of itself], or that which was torn [with beasts, whether it be] one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe [himself] in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean. 2.Hear Moses (Torah) read on the Sabbath Day (keep Shabbat)

Is it what we do and say? Is it separation from the world? Is it a state of meditation or thought? Is it the vocation we select in life? Is it enough to be spiritual or set apart? [Lev 20:7-8 KJV] 7 Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy: for I [am] the LORD your God. And ye shall keep ( שָׁמַר )my statutes, and do them: I [am] the LORD which sanctify you. Sanctify yourselves- Works(tangible/practical things to do) The Lord will Sanctify you- Faith (A strong belief or trust in God)

1. Our Diet Is to Be Different From the Rest of the World? Leviticus 17: We Are Not to Learn or Embrace Any of the Ways of our Pagan Neighbors Leviticus 18: The Torah Is to Be and Always Remain Our Lifestyle Leviticus 18: Modesty and Sexual Wholeness/Purity Are to Be Carefully Guarded Leviticus 18: Love Your neighbor as yourself

[Mar 12:28-31 KJV] 28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? 29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this [is] the first commandment. 31 And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

[Jhn 13:34-35 KJV] 34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. We will discover that parsha Kedoshim consists of 64 verses. The Hebrew mnemonic for 64 means “glow”. The theme of Parsha Kedoshim, and indeed of all the Torah, is that we are to “glow”, to “shine”. Is not this what the prophet Yeshayahu said [Isaiah 60:1: Arise, shine, for your Light has come...]? Is not this the heart of the message of Y’shua [Matthew 5:14-16] and of Shaul of Tarsus [Philippians 2:12-15]? The Rabbi’s Son- Bill Bullock

Matthew 5: Let your light shine and not be hidden Matthew 5: I have not come to abolish the Torah but to uphold it and render a good interpretation Matthew Teaches against hating your neighbor & murder Matthew Seek forgiveness and forgive quickly Matthew Adultery, divorce Matthew Keep your word and do not make empty promises Matthew Give to your neighbor and do not expect repayment Matthew Love the stranger and not just your own brother

[Mat 5:48 ESV] 48 You therefore must be perfect (holy), as your heavenly Father is perfect (holy).
