Sword Drill Exodus32: 25 - 35

While Moses was up on top of Mount Sinai with the Lord, the people became impatient for Him to return, as He was gone for forty days. The people used this excuse to rebel against The Lord, and they had Aaron make out of their gold jewellery a “Golden Calf”, and they began to bow down to it and worshiped it. They committed adultery with each other around the golden calf too and were going wild.

When Moses saw what they were doing Moses threw down the “stone Tables of the law” and they broke.

He had them grind the calf into dust, poured it into their drinking water and made them drink it.

The Lord was angry with the “Children of Israel” Moses shouted throughout the camp that,

Only the Tribe of the Levites came. Moses told them to strap on their swords, and to go throughout the camp killing their brother Israelites. They obeyed and slaughtered 3000 people that day.

Because they performed this service to The Lord, they would enter His special service as Levites, in administration of Israel.

Israel

could have been a “Kingdom of Priests to God”, if they had all been obedient to The Lord.

The High Priest, Priests and The Levites

The Levites had very special responsibilities .The tribe of Levites were separated into families

The “Gershonites” looked after the Coverings.
The “Meranites” carried and erected the Tabernacle Structure

The Levites had no particular land assigned to them, as did the other tribes, but were given 48 cities as “Cities of Refuge”, scattered through out “The Promised Land”

The Israelites fled to these cities for refuge, justice and fairness, if they accidentally killed a person, until the case came to court. The Avenger of the one killed, came after them to kill them!

The High Priest, Priests and The Levites

“Since the promise of entering His rest still, let us be careful (let us be afraid) that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. (Fallen short of believing His promises)

“You have made them (The Church) to be a Kingdom of Priests to serve our God”

“You are a chosen people, a Royal Priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you mat declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light”

“Thank you that we are now Your priests and can come to You privately, and acknowledge our own faults, and represent our selves before you. Thankyou for this great privilege you have given to us. Thank You that we are now your ambassadors to this lost, and dying world. Help us to learn to obey Your Word, and learn Your promises, so we can be prepared to be Your witnesses to our friends. I ask this in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ”
