Leviticus 23:33-36 - New International Version (NIV)
33 The Lord said to
Moses, 34 “Say to the Israelites: ‘On the fifteenth day of the
seventh month the Lord’s Festival
of Tabernacles begins, and it lasts for seven days. 35 The
first day is a sacred assembly; do no regular work. 36 For
seven days present food offerings to the Lord,
and on the eighth day hold a sacred assembly and present a food offering to the
Lord. It is the closing special
assembly; do no regular work.
Who spoke to
Moses (verse 33)?
How long does
the Lord’s Festival of Tabernacles last (verse 34)?
What kind of
work is forbidden on the first day of the celebration when they have “a
sacred assembly” (verse 35)?
What is to
happen on “the eighth day” (verse
36)?
Zechariah 12:10-13:1 - New International Version (NIV)
10 “And
I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit
of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they
have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and
grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son. 11 On that day the weeping in
Jerusalem will be as great as the weeping of Hadad Rimmon in the plain of
Megiddo. 12 The land will
mourn, each clan by itself, with their wives by themselves: the clan of the
house of David and their wives, the clan of the house of Nathan and their
wives, 13 the clan of the
house of Levi and their wives, the clan of Shimei and their wives, 14 and all the rest of the
clans and their wives. 1 “On that day a
fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
to cleanse them from sin and impurity.
What kind of
spirit will God pour out on “the house of David and the inhabitants of
Jerusalem” (verse 10)?
Who will they “look
on . . . mourn . . . and grieve” (verse 10)?
Where will
there be great weeping “on that day” (verse 11)?
Who will mourn
(verses 12, 13 and 14)?
What will the
fountain that is opened on that day do (verse 1)?
In your opinion, how is the closing assembly of
the Festival of Tabernacles in Leviticus 23:33-36 similar to the day when the “spirit
of grace and supplication” is poured out and the fountain is opened to “cleanse
them from sin and impurity” in Zechariah 12:10-13:1?
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about him.
Then the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest him.
33 Jesus said, “I am with you for only a short time, and then I am
going to the one who sent me. 34 You will look for me, but you
will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come.”
35 The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go
that we cannot find him? Will he go where our people live scattered among the
Greeks, and teach the Greeks? 36 What did he mean when he said,
‘You will look for me, but you will not find me,’ and ‘Where I am, you cannot
come’?”
37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said
in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 38 Whoever
believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from
within them.” 39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who
believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been
given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.
40 On hearing his words, some of the people said, “Surely this man is
the Prophet.”
41 Others said, “He is the Messiah.”
Still others asked, “How can the Messiah come
from Galilee? 42 Does not Scripture say that the Messiah will
come from David’s descendants and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?” 43 Thus
the people were divided because of Jesus. 44 Some wanted to
seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.
When did the “chief priests and the
Pharisees” send temple guards to arrest Jesus (verse 32)?
Where does Jesus say He
is going (verse 33)?
What will the people not be able to do (verse 34)?
In your opinion, why could the Jews not understand where
Jesus was going (verses 35 and 36)?
When did Jesus stand up and speak “in a loud voice”
(verse 37)?
In your opinion, what did Jesus mean by “let anyone who
is thirsty come to me and drink” (verse 37)?
Where will “rivers of living waters” flow (verse 38)?
Why had the Spirit not been given “up to that time”
(verse 39)?
What did some people say (verse 40)?
In your opinion, why did some people say “He is the
Messiah” (verse 41)?
In your opinion, why did others ask “how can the Messiah
come from Galilee” (verses 41 and 42)?
What effect did Jesus have on the people (verse 43)?
How many people “laid a hand” on Jesus (verse 44)?
In your opinion, what is the basic message of this passage?
In your opinion, why would Jesus use the day that Leviticus
23:33-36 called the “closing special assembly” to stand up in John
7:32-44 and say “let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink”?
In your
opinion, how is Zechariah 12:10-13:1 where the prophecy is about mourning the
one who was pierced and about the fountain that will cleanse related to John
7:32-44 where Jesus talks about going to where “you cannot come” and
invites the thirsty to come to Him?
Revelation
22:1-5 –
New International Version (NIV)
1 Then the angel showed me the
river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God
and of the Lamb 2 down
the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the
tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month.
And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the
Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a
lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they
will reign for ever and ever.
Who showed
John “the river of the water of life” (verse 1)?
Where did the
river flow from (verse 1)?
What stood on
each side of the river (verse 2)?
What will there
no longer be (verse 3)?
Where will the
“throne of God and of the Lamb” be (verse 3)?
What will the
servants of God and the Lamb see (verse 4)?
Why will there
be no night or need for the “light of a lamp or the light of the sun” (verse
5)?
In your
opinion, what is the basic message of this passage?
In your
opinion, how is the “sacred assembly” that Leviticus 23:33-36 indicates
is to occur on the eighth day related to the “servants” in Revelation
22:1-5 seeing the face of God and the Lamb?
In your
opinion, how is “river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing
from the throne of God and the Lamb” of Revelation 22:1-5 related to the
place that Jesus said He would be going in John 7:32-44?
In your
opinion, what do these passages from Leviticus, Zechariah, John and Revelation
show us about the relationship between mourning and salvation?
In your
opinion, how can we who are thirsty able to not only
drink of the “spirit of grace and supplication” but have the “rivers
of living water flow from within”?
