I was reading through the many interesting comments here within this great forum, I noticed one post that mentioned the horrible outbreak of the plague in Num 25
Remember Eleazar the priest: HE TOOK A SPEAR AND HE KILLED THE ISRAELITE AND THE MIDIANITE WOMAN WHO WERE COMMITTING IMMORALITY IN FRONT OF ALL THE ISRAELITES WHEN THEY WERE WEEPING!
here in the book of Num 25:9 - the bible says that… " And those that DIED in the plague were twenty and four thousand. "
:1 - And Israel abode in SHlTTIM, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab.
:2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods.
the reality is - that because a number of the men of Israel were having sexual relations with the daughters of Moab, also they were quite possibly eating things that were contaminated with pathogens and germs, there was a disease / plague that had been contracted by the Jews and the plague was spreading fast - to 24,000 people.
this is why Moses began to kill the people who were committing whoredom with the daughters of Moab
:8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague stayed from the children of Israel. :9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand. "
The Midianites and Moabites were bringing plagues, sickness, and diseases and unclean infected foods into the Hebrew camps, the God of the Bible was stopping the plagues and diseases by ordering the killing and removal of those who knew what they were doing was wrong and who were spreading the plagues and diseases and murdering their fellow citizens.
There were no cures, no medicines, no doctors or prescriptions and surgeries.
previously in Num 16: - a similar incident had occurred where 14,700 people had died from the plague
:48 { Moses } stood between the living and the dead, and the plague was halted.
:49 But those who died from the plague numbered 14,700, in addition to those who had died on account of Korah.
the activities and immoral foods and sexual adultery brought forth diseases and plagues by serving other gods
Moses was commanded to kill those who were endangering and infecting other innocent people in order to protect the remainder of the innocent. This is exactly why God commanded that some of the neighboring civilizations of the Hebrews to be exterminated – because they were so diseased, unclean and infected that they were dangerous to the families of the Hebrew people,
the only option was to remove them from the earth to prevent Israeli families from being infected ….
This is really what the Bible is all about in its entirety, to save mankind from himself, to give ordinances and commandments to protect one - another - protect those who are innocent and want to serve God and obey.
The CORE theme that the prophets were making was that the Jews were to be clean.
This is the Physical aspect and health importance orbiting as the main theme throughout the Bible
The cleaning of pots, pans, vessels, Washing, BATHING Every Single time after SEX, Washing after touching Dead People or animals. Keeping away from other people if You touch a Dead ROTTING Animal. Making sure to Mary a virgin or a widow. No sex with Animals. No gay sex.
'When any man at all - has a discharge from his body, His discharge is unclean.
And whoever touches his bed shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, Whoever sits on anything that is unclean shall wash his clothes and bathe in water, and bathe his body in running water ........ 'If any man has an emission of semen, then he shall wash all his body in water, and be unclean until evening. And any garment and any leather on which there is semen, it shall be washed with water.................'If a woman has a discharge, and the discharge from her body is blood - everything that she sits on shall be unclean.
the LAW was to --- separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness, lest they die in their uncleanness. Don't Eat bats, Lions, Cats, Rats, Eel, stingray, and catfish fishes with no fins and scales) Snakes. Don't Eat Raw Blood. the Point of punishment for BLOOD CRIMES>
The law of Moses, Punished People for Committing BLOOD CRIMES against others. Creating Diseases, Birth Defects, and Plagues. Today People Run Wild, INFECTING Millions. .......God Did not put up With this. the actors were punished and the Disease, infections, and Danger to Innocent Lives and People Following the LAW were safe. Water supplies, Food Supplies and All Cooking and Daily Living was Safe.
This is the entire purpose and theme of Gods law , BLOOD CRIMES ARE REAL.
This was the Core theme of the Old Testament.
The New Testament is focused on the spiritual aspect and delivering the completion of Gods plan of salvation to the gentiles
