Numbers 28-30
What god said to me – Do you see how complex the sacrificial system of atonement is? I know you don’t understand why, but I instituted it for a reason. Atonement is not easy or simple. I wanted My people to understand that truth. They are called sacrifices for a reason – atonement comes at a cost – a cost you could never pay. I made the sacrifice for your atonement. The sacrificial system I required of Israel is just a picture for you of how difficult it is and the high price that had to be paid. It was not easy for Me, but it was not easy for Israel either – or for you. You must humble yourself in order to accept the atonement I made on your behalf and you must believe in the effectiveness of the sacrifice I made for you.
