There were specific ways that the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron to make sacrifices. This is the LORD who brought them out of Egypt. In Numbers 19 we see that instructions were given to do certain things in certain ways to preserve the purification rituals or laws of purification. The way in which a red heifer was sacrificed was important. The red cow must be without blemish, with no defect, and one who has never been yoked. One of the procedures was that the heifer be taken outside the camp and slaughtered in the presence of Eleazar the priest. He would then take some of its blood and sprinkle it seven times in front of the Tabernacle or Tent of Meeting. Sacrifices were not manmade procedures by Moses and Aaron, but a response to the commands
of the LORD’s word. Life was regarded as spiritual and sacred to the LORD, therefore sacrifices were inextricably bound up with symbolism. This was a different way of worship than the Israelites had been exposed to. The connections and their obedience were important and critical to their understanding of who God was.

The Struggle; Numbers 28-31
There is a struggle on the earth. God is the Creator, the owner, the provider and, still, many of the people He created and provides for do not believe in Him. Some have concocted a notion in which they believe the earth and universe were created through billions of years by chance. In other word...
