1Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, 2“When someone has a swelling or rash or bright spot on his skin that could become an infectious skin disease,a he must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons who is a priest.
3The priest is to examine the infection on his skin, and if the hair in the infection has turned white and the sore appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a skin disease. After the priest examines him, he must pronounce him unclean.
4If, however, the spot on his skin is white and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days. 5On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if he sees that the infection is unchanged and has not spread on the skin, the priest must isolate him for another seven days. 6The priest will examine him again on the seventh day, and if the sore has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is a rash. The person must wash his clothes and be clean.
“The Hebrew priest-physicians appear to have been the first in the ancient world to isolate persons suspected of infectious or contagious diseases.” (Harrison)
Recently we had a virus that was suspected to have been developed in a lab in Wuhan China that spread around the whole world infecting people of all races and religions without mercy.
What was the difference between this infectious and contagious disease and other infectious or contagious diseases? Man made and media frenzy.
All life is precious in the eyes of the Lord and that is why we need to put our faith in Jesus Christ. He is the only one, the only way, the only path to salvation and eternal life.
You can either stay afraid and worry about your future in this life or put your faith in Christ and inherit eternal life in heaven.
Joshua 24:........ But as for me and my family, we will serve the LORD.”
Who do you and your family serve?
Blessings, David
