Leviticus 14:2,20



Leviticus 14:2,20 This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest: And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean. This chapter and the previous explain what the priest was to do when a leper was healed of his disease. There was a complete ceremony that the priest and the leper had to complete to prove to everyone that he had in fact been completely healed of his leprosy. The problem is, leprosy is incurable. It is terminal. no one ever got over the disease of leprosy. That is until Jesus healed the ten lepers in Luke 17. And when Jesus healed them, he said, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” Can you imagine what the priest said when the lepers came to him?! No priest had ever performed the ceremony in Leviticus 13 and 14! I am sure that he had to go back and read up on what to do. What a testimony the healing was to the priest! And God put the ceremony there in Leviticus 1400 years before Jesus just for when Jesus would heal a leper! What an amazing prophecy! What an amazing God!
