New reading cycle started...
The new reading cycle started. I have been slowly moving my blog to another blog. As I do that, I am modifying it. My writing ability is poor, and even I can see it when I re-read my blog after a year. I have no idea what I was trying to say. So I cleaned up the extra feeling and comments and tried to make it to the point. I stopped when I caught up with the beginning of the reading cycle. I will combine last year's and this year's discoveries. I am also working on another blog in Japanese. This is my tiny contribution to introduce the Bible to the world. Why am I doing this? It is fun to write on the blog, and I can continue where as I tend to stop writing on a notebook. Something about the keyboard and the screen... Also I want to share what I learned.
My new blog is the same title as this one.

Vayikra #2
Leviticus
Chapter 1 Burnt offering
Chapter 2 Grain offering
Chapter 3 Peace offering
Chapter 4 Sin offering
Chapter 5 Guilt offering
The suggested reading portion from the NT is from Hebrews 10 and 13. It was powerful
Hebrews 10:1-14 (New Living Translation)
" 1 The old system under the law of Moses was only a shadow, a dim preview of the good things to come, not the good things themselves. The sacrifices under that system were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship. 2 If they could have provided perfect cleansing, the sacrifices would have stopped, for the worshipers would have been purified once for all time, and their feelings of guilt would have disappeared.
3 But instead, those sacrifices actually reminded them of their sins year after year. 4 For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. 5 That is why, when Christ[a] came into the world, he said to God,
“You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings.
But you have given me a body to offer.
6 You were not pleased with burnt offerings
or other offerings for sin.
7 Then I said, ‘Look, I have come to do your will, O God—
as is written about me in the Scriptures.’”[b]
8 First, Christ said, “You did not want animal sacrifices or sin offerings or burnt offerings or other offerings for sin, nor were you pleased with them” (though they are required by the law of Moses). 9 Then he said, “Look, I have come to do your will.” He cancels the first covenant in order to put the second into effect. 10 For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.
11 Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins. 12 But our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand. 13 There he waits until his enemies are humbled and made a footstool under his feet. 14 For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy."
