Leviticus 16 Chart
This easy to read chart shows all the events which occurred at the Tabernacle on the Day of Atonement.
Follow the sequence of events as per the boxes and the accompanying scriptures to reveal the meaning of the ceremony.
In this chart it is given in stages: cleansing of sin for the high priest; his household; the temple/tabernacle; the congregation; Jesus Christ's death; then in the future the rest of mankind.
************************************************************************
In the book of Leviticus 16 we are shown a strange ceremony that was given to the people (after the Exodus) not long after the Covenant was given on Mt Sinai (Exod 24:4-8).
Exodus reveals that the Old Covenant was made with the people of Israel 3 months out of Egypt.
The Tabernacle was erected on the 1st day of the 1st month of the SECOND year (Exod 40:17). The departure from Mt Sinai to Paran was on the 20th day of the second month of the second year (Num 10:11) So the ceremony for the Day of Atonement was established during this period.
The chart above shows the procedure the High Priest followed and the relevant scriptures in the Bible.
This day was given to God’s people to observe once a year so that they could be cleansed of their sins, by means of covering them. They were not forgiven permanently, only covered.
This ceremony was performed yearly and added to the Holy Day list in Leviticus 23:26 and Numbers 29:7.
Note the meaning of the words Atonement (Strong’s 3722) meaning ‘covering’, and ‘Azazel’ (Strong’s 5799) “Goat of Departure”.
Azazel is the “Goat of Departure” – we need to show what happens when this goat departs to the wilderness – by looking at the chart you will notice that goat ‘B’ or goat ‘2’ avoids the cleansing and coverings of the high priest and people, so it seems, that it misses out on its cleansing and forgiveness of sins!
Goat ‘B’ which is sent into the wilderness represents those that aren’t there, but those of future generations and all of humanity. (Rom 11:15, 2 Pet 3:9)
Being sent into the wilderness it only receives Aaron’s confession of sins but will at some point in the future receive the promise of redemption by the sacrifice of the real Lamb of God – Jesus Christ! But until then, like many that haven’t received Christ yet, is wondering in the wilderness.
The analogy for Christians is apparent. In our main study 'Secret of the Covenants' (Start Here) we have a pattern which emerges with the same theme - God's plan offering salvation to all.

Teachings of Christ from Deuteronomy – Part 2
The Teachings of Christ from the *Covenant in Deuteronomy - Part 2
When we refer to the teachings of Christ we are referring to the direct teachings that Christ Himself spoke, as well as His teachings reflected by those He taught - that is, His Disciples.
Most Bibles have references in their margins, referring to Christ's teachings, that can be tracked back, in most cases, to the Book of Deuteronomy.
The following is Part 2 of a three part series of charts, with references from the *Covenant in Deuteronomy with corresponding teachings of Christ.
Note: this is not a comprehensive list and is being continually updated. (all references from the RSV Bible unless otherwise stated)

- There is a New Covenant parallel for this verse as Jesus Christ was the sacrifice on which all would be saved. John 3:16-17 The sacrifice is that He was God’s only son and became flesh, John 1:14 and Phill 2: 5-8, He was without sin, Heb 4: 25 and 1 John 3: 5, therefore the firstborn of the dead is Christ, 1 Cor 15:23, also He was sinless - fitting the description of the first born male of the flock which was to be sacrificed.

- John 2: 23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs which he did;
.
Deut 16:18 You shall appoint judges and officers in all your towns, you shall not pervert justice...you shall not take a bribe..
- The principle of this scripture is to be of good conduct and honest, especially those in positions of authority. The following scriptures from Hebrews, Ephesians and James reflect this - Heb 13:18 ‘Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience, desiring to act honorably in all things.’ Ephes 4:22 -32 and James 3:13-18
Deut 16:21-22 You shall not plant a tree as Asherah beside the altar of the Lord, ... you shall not set up a pillar, which the Lord your God hates.

Charts 8 & 9
These charts show the Statutes and Ordinances in Exodus and the Statutes and Ordinances in Deuteronomy, in a bit more detail than the previous charts, and to help illustrate the similarities we have highlighted the points that are the same in each book in green, and the points that are similar in both books we have highlighted in blue.
So you can see there are quite a few points that are different, which shows that the two covenants are not the same.
Deuteronomy 5 – 26 (Chart 6)
Chart 6: Deuteronomy chapters 5 - 26 in detail. (We will be referring to this section of Deuteronomy in the main study.)
We have presented an overview of the events in the whole book of Deuteronomy in Chart 5, now we need to see where the Covenant, given at Moab is recorded.
It is important to note that the 10 Commandments are a part of this second Covenant - it also introduces this Covenant as it does the first.
Deuteronomy Overview (Chart 5)
Book of Deuteronomy:
Deuteronomy is a book that once again talks about a covenant. It is at the end of Israel's wanderings. This Covenant, which includes the Ten Commandments, is delivered by Moses on the plains of Moab (Deut 29:1), forty years after the original Covenant was given by God at Mt Sinai.
This book also talks about the appointment of Joshua, conditions for blessings and cursings, and Moses' passing.
This book reveals some fascinating insights which will appear as the study progresses.

Exodus 20 – 23 (Chart 2)
Chart 2: Exodus chapters 20 - 23 in detail (we will be referring to this section of Exodus in the main Study)
We have presented an overview of the events in the whole book of Exodus in Chart 1, Now we need to see where the Covenant, given on Mt Sinai is recorded. In Exodus chapter 19 it describes how it was delivered, but the actual Old Covenant, including the 10 Commandments, is written in Exodus chapters 20 to 23, and then ratified in chapter 24 (verse 8).
It is important to note that the 10 Commandments are a part of the Old Covenant - in fact it introduces the Covenant.
