I am sure you don’t believe this; but, you have to learn more about scripture than a simple expository word or sentence memory to get something as truthful and amazing as this kind of spiritual revelation. Let me start and just get you really confused so you can either stop reading or open your mind and heart to how far outside of Sunday School teaching missed this Jesus’ story!
What does blood have to do with infections?
What does penicillin have to do with infections?
What do Jews have to do with infections?
What do quarantines have to do with infections?
What do preachers have to do with infections?
What do birds have to do with infections?
What does cedar wood have to do with infections?
All of these things are pretty difficult to relate to stories or symbolic meanings; especially in connection to each other. If you have studied the Bible a very long time you will not get these pieces unless you remember synergy of scripture like the Bereans! Therefore, let me start at one of the hardest symbolic pieces in scripture: the stone. Think of all the references in scripture relating to stones. There are many. The most important are “Jesus” is the cornerstone and stones are referred to as “GENTILES”! I think more scripture is discerned incorrectly for not remembering this symbolic reference over and over! When Abraham left his father and the Tower of Babel happened there were two (2) camps. There was the obedience camp and the disobedience camp. Today you have preachers teaching prejudice as a horrible thing; yet, you were cursed if you did not follow after the camp of Abraham (which became the camp of “Isreal”)! The other camp (singular, yet factually were many cultures or incorrectly now called races). Every “race” on earth HATED the other (single Isreal culture/race). Israel did not “hate” the others; but, feared for their lives in everyday because mankind wanted them dead! Why? This culture, “Abrahamites”, became known as the Israelites from Abraham’s descendant Isaac ( by his son named Jacob). These people were ” THE ONLY PEOPLE WORSHIPPING ELOHIM! This is where you get “CAMP #1”! “CAMP #2” is referred to every other culture/race on the planet! Who are they summarized as being? “GENTILES” are their names. The Greeks, Asians, Italians, etc. were not called by their singular relationship to each other; but, by their COMMON RELATIONSHIP OF HATING (worshipping other false gods or none) GOD!
Now, all of that synergy brings us back to the woven fabric (interlacing scriptural facts that create these thoughts of truth as one strand [expository ] of yarn holds nothing!) of stones, Gentiles, camp #1, camp #2 ( or what is called “OUTSIDE THE CAMP” [which means outside the camp #1-those idolators]).
The New Testament starts in Matthew by telling the story of Jesus. Matthew introduces baby Jesus and by chapter 8 is telling a story about the adult man named Jesus. Many read Matthew’s testimony about Jesus as a baby story, a crucifixion story and then summarize the entire book as the fulfillment of “The Son of God Came and Rose from the Dead”. What about the other information in Matthew? Most people just go to the other books in the N.T. to see more about his deity and proofs as God. Why? It is because you have not learned synergy like I just stressed and refreshed as the ultimate important discernment tool. Jesus not only came and Rose from the dead; but, Jesus came to fulfill EVERY WORD DESCRIBED ABOUT HIM IN THE OLD TESTAMENT! Where is the baby Jesus or young Jesus in the O.T? (believe it or not it is there)? But, first, you need to read Matthew for much more revelation than the Christmas and Easter stories. Penicillin is in the book of Matthew! Have you ever heard this? Unfortunately, this is why this story is titled this way. Due to the lack of teaching deep spiritual truths in between the enormous “OBVIOUS” stories like as if cars and houses falling out of the clouds could not be noticed by anyone in camp #2! If you area Christian how many times do you need to read Matthew to remember the cars and houses falling out of the sky? We are called to learn which car, who or what kind of car, was it running, was someone in the car, what color, or what does the car represent, did the house have a pool, were there three or four bedrooms in the house, were there TVs or phones or air conditioners, the details or abilities to see “MORE THAN THE OBVIOUS” is what God has called us to do after sucking the bottle (seeing the obvious)! Meat is recognizing Penicillin is actually in Matthew’s account of baby Jesus giving a person! Read chapter 8!
And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
Matthew 8:2-4 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.8.2-4.KJV
Where in that scripture is “Penicillin”? The someplace where I find 6 bathrooms, an inground pool, a giant plasma TV, a motorcycle in the garage, and a Ferarri! This word picture may sound crazy; but, until you finish this reading this revelation and how to get what I just described as a word picture of more than obvious stuff, you are going to fail at seeing more of Jesus than you can imagine!
See that last verse (Matthew 8:4) says “the gift that Moses commanded” is never read, studied and then looked at with the Holy Spirit’s binoculars! That verse has “penicillin” in it! How? Jesus is fulfilling O.T. prophecy! Where? Go find stories relating to Moses and hysopp. Is this as important as the “Christmas story” or the “Easter” story? Scripture SAYS IT IS (HEBREWS 5!)! You will walk around and claim God came down as a baby like you (story of Christmas) and then was hung on a cross and died (like the thieves) and conquered death ( Easter); but, you will not be able to testify of glorious details that should separate you from any other person on the planet who can tell that same story like “a Disney” (fairytale).
Read Leviticus 14!
Review the questions I asked in the beginning.
All of those questions and the entire story in Lev. 14 is in verse 4 of Matthew 8.
The binoculars are in your hands!
Matthew 8 is exploding with a huge amount of new revelation! Blood, water, hysopp, Scarlet, cedar, the priest, sacrifices, camp, camp #2(“go out” to), stones, cleansed, “at the door”, “slay the lamb”, trespass offering, “pouring of oil on his head”, “meat offering”, “kill the lamb”, “put upon the head of him”, sin offering, “and he shall make atonement”, ” and he shall break down the house”, the “plague” (not leper) healed, and the living bird shall fly out and declare him clean (where are birds used as symbolic prophetic purposes?), “TO TEACH” WHEN [IT] is clean or unclean, and “HE” shall be brought unto the priest (“he” is the leper but the more important is “WHO IS THE ONE BRINGING”)!
There are even more huge details/(bedrooms, TV’s, Ferrari’s, and swimming pools I did not mention) that are right there in Matthew 8:4!
Wow, if this has even in as small as a mustard seed opened your heart to the Holy Spirit of discernment you are dumbfounded. Imagine every chapter in the New Testament exploding like this one? I am telling you there is a fountain of revelation like a fire hydrant gushing with the information you have never heard! So, where is penicillin? Google how penicillin is made and the two founders of discovering it (Dr. Fleming in 1928 found it had already been discovered 6 years before on the hyssop plant & in Psalm 51:7). If you read Lev. 14 & Matthew 8 did you see a Doctor? Did you see the “Great Physician” (read about Moses and the bronze symbol to heal those bitten by the snake or those who would die and go to hell)!
Leviticus has so much prophetic typology it is almost too much to grasp! The entire story is fulfilled by Jesus in Matthew 8. Jesus becomes the high priest that heals the leper! Has Jesus already been in the Garden of Gethsemane, where he is thought in scripture, by expository teaching, to become the “High Priest” at that time? Jesus sent the leper to the high priest (is the current High Priest stupid? Look at the very strict rules or ritual of “getting a leper clean BEFORE HE CAN COME TO THE ” high priest”. After all, remember the pompous, arrogant, self-righteous attitude of all the Jewish high priests? Close your eyes and visualize you seeing a known leader all of a sudden healed running through camp#2 when “everybody knows that no high priest has been to his house in the past seven days for each of those seven days and charges his way straight into the next town of camp #1 and is going straight for the temple! There would have to be a huge commotion taking place in all of this alone!). Leviticus describes tearing down the cedar house; he has the oil poured over his head; his head drips with blood; his blood makes the atonement for the curse (the plague is symbolic of the Genesis’ curse), his blood satisfied the trespass sacrifice [Lev. 14:13 “it is most holy”] (without a very big lesson about this understand the trespass offering is above anything else and it took more than one sacrifice in God’s instructions to Moses about that process, yet Jesus just satisfies all the processes INSTANTLY!). THE PRIEST should have come out of the temple thinking Satan or GOD just stepped onto the planet and is going to kill him or SOMETHING HUGE! All of the Mosaic law to determine “if there was an actual disease and cure was “skipped”! The whole process in Leviticus describes how Jesus will have sin imputed upon his head like the bird that dies and then the other bird (God-particularly Jesus) will fly away with blood on his tail but shall remove ALL THE CURSE! JESUS, this new High Priest, shall abolish all the blood sacrifices except the importance of an understanding of why and who it is that removes the curse (Gal. 3:19) which remains on all humans until their final day. Jesus further teaches, which almost no church or great biblical scholar writing books today, has or rather will REMOVE THE CURSE UPON THE STONES (Gentiles)! This is A GIANT PROPHETIC PROPHECY TO BE FULFILLED AND JESUS IS TESTIFIED BY MATTHEW OF DOING IT!!!!!!!!! ( YOU CAN ONLY SEE THIS WITH BINOCULARS!!!!!!)
Read the very next parable! Jesus literally tells you in a different parable what the story was about in his first parable:”When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”.
Matthew 8:10-12 KJV
Jesus tells you again most of Isreal will go to hell and the children (Gentiles) will become the firstborn (new inheritors of the kingdom of God-heaven)!
I have summarized a tremendous amount and there is more!
See the penicillin yet?
What happened with the hyssop, cedar and scarlet? Did you see the baptism? Did you see “Sunday”? What did the High Priests do after making sacrifices? There was a huge bowl inside the temple. Do you know about the rituals the high priests must do with that bowl? Everyday the High Priest was at the temple/”church”. So, how did the High Priest ” go to church”? God created all things in 6 days and RESTED ON THE DAY AFTER ALL HIS WORK. God did NOT exclude any humans, even preachers/High Priests. When did those guys “REST”!? HOW did they present themselves to God by honoring his command to “WORSHIP” after working a week (6 days)? Read. It is there. The lesson of synergy will open your eyes! Relate God’s word to all of his word. Drawstrings and attach everything to everything until you recognize it is different because of a different string showing (scripture, not ridiculous expository guessing for the sake of making an opinion!) you the Holy Spirit means something actually different!
Keep reading Leviticus. It makes the hair stand up all over.
Verse 14:52: ” YOU” (“your house” -your flesh, your mind, your heart, your soul!- everything in and about it) shall be clean (saved) with blood (Jesus’s own blood) by the grace of his imputed act upon another sacrifice instead of you or I and by the word of God (water)which was at the foundation and Jesus did eat when he ascended into heaven after being put into the ground for three days. The Holy Spirit (living bird) which lives in the King of Kings’ house will announce at your house (earthly and at the gates of heaven) and prove with his own offering to God the mercy of forgiveness to spare your life, heal (as cedar was believed to have medicinal properties and the temples definitely extended God’s healing power in every way imaginable) and give you eternal life as was demonstrated many times (such as during the teaching of Moses with the snake bites and the Passover (Ex. 12:22) of all the firstborn (which represented believers and thus Gentiles (stones) being adopted as the firstborn).
Understand this last most important teaching: In Leviticus, God told Moses how the people could go out and gather these few items and perform a “ritual” (a term for a somewhat unscientific or non-medical procedure like we do today by “making a Doctor’s visit” and him giving us penicillin to “cure” the bacteria) for healing. God could have snapped his fingers for anybody that just prayed in their tent or closet; but, he had people make public showings of “WHO WAS DOING THE HEALING” (praying in a closet does not show God is involved; but, rather the individual (that would rather demonstrate idolatry!). Moses commanded him to smack a rock and bring forth water. Why did he not tell him to stand back and just watch the rock flow out water? Then Moses was told the second time to bring water out of rock by speaking instead of SMACKING it. BUT, he did not obey and he hit the rock. His disobedience got him punished; he was not allowed to cross the Jordan River. God wanted him to demonstrate God was doing the miracle! People thought he was god by doing it a second time and God had to prove Moses WAS NOT GOD! With that in mind of Moses’ actions, God used items and appointed special people (like a Doctor) to have the individual recognize the absolute SMALLEST OF THINGS, (a “red” bacteria which can not be seen by the human eye unless a large quantity-which looks black like death) could kill a person UNLESS DEALT WITH! The actual ritual represented asking for “forgiveness” and recognizing something not understood (who had a biology degree back then?) could only be solved by the “other not understood invisible reverse”. God gave man tools (like a Doctor carries in his medical bag) which was a small branch of a cedar, a twig of hyssop, a very small amount of blood (something had to die to kill the other living destructor) and scarlet (a small red colored twine used to hold the blood on the hyssop to the cedar branch (which is very rich with prophetic typology: the process of making white sheep’s yarn red required a worm. This mother worm covered its young and died to bring forth life for her procreation. The process of it taking places was a prophetic typology of Jesus’s blood running down the cross to save his children!!!)!
Jesus ended the Old Testament ritual with a new ritual. Most teach that there is not a ritual at all and many still try to maintain some of the old with a twisted new version which give the old type priest a higher position than a low-level sinner. It is so confusing with all the twisted versions and “opinions” of understandings. But, if you keep reading and putting the synergy of all scripture from Genesis to Revelation into the small little story in Matthew chapter 8 you will find what I have shown you is SCRIPTURE ( the Holy Spirit speaking from his own words and teachings; you just can not do this through expository examination!).
Jesus continues to makes go to the doctors. Why? He has demonstrated over a over we must act upon the faith of him being the “Great Physician” and he will not just snap his fingers because he does not get the glory that way!
God uses the red scarlet blood to cure black mold; but, it(the killer) is actually not black (read the story of David and how God said his son had to die in order for him to receive the forgiveness he asked for in his adultress affair! The entire ritual of healing is presented by God and Jesus that something must due in order for something to live! That is Jesus must due in order than any man be saved; starting with Adam.). It takes faith and an understanding of what is complicated “but demonstrated” with simple instructions (like what basic obedience is understood to be). We as humans MUST DO A WORK OF FAITH so that JESUS’ WORK ON THE CROSS CAN PROVE WORKS! IT IS “NOT” OUR WORK THAT SAVES; BUT BY ALL MEANS, MUST BE DEMONSTRATED IN SOME FORM TO OTHERS SO THEY TOO MAY GET HEALED! JEWS refuse to accept the Scarlet tied hyssop that once was used and constantly performed rituals (and wanting to build another temple and go back to that ignorant disobedient idea the Great Physician never showed up- that is exactly in a nutshell what Dispensationalism teaches!!!!) in the temples or wiped on lintels outside the camp! Jesus told them for almost 4,000 years he was going to prove penicillin (word picture for his magical medicine- dying on the cross) would become a common thing for everybody (Jew & Gentile- camp #1 & camps of #2) to use and have available for use; but, they stubbornly refuse to accept penicillin as if it is still a drug that has not been approved by the FDA ( The Friends & Descendants of only Arron- remember this made up acronym to remember this parable of Penicillin and how Gentiles accept “the Doctor’s prescription approved by FDA which the Jews reject!). Jesus demands public expression and obedience. Jesus is the only way and only Doctor to invent and administer a cure for the curse prophecied about from Genesis to Revelation. Don’t believe people have the power to heal like a licensed MD; but, believe an act of God’s hand can be demonstrated through crazy unknown things (like penicillin) for curing the SPIRITUAL SICKNESS WE ALL HAVE ONLY BY THE RED BLOOD THAT FLOWED DOWN THE CROSS FROM THE MAN WHO CAME FROM JUDAH KNOWN AS THE LAMB, THE MAN WHO WAS ANOINTED WITH OIL ON HIS HEAD, THE MAN WHO WAS PROPHESIED IN THE TORAH AS THE ONLY ONE TO REPLACE THE HIGH PRIEST MELCHISEDEC, THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS PROPHESIED TO HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT DESCEND UPON HIS SHOULDER AND RAISE HIMSELF FROM THE DEAD.
JESUS IS PENICILLIN!
This entire story is a story about God’s plan of salvation and before you read this lesson all you had before was Jesus performed a miracle, which the lost man saw as the obvious!
And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:
Leviticus 14:52 KJV
