It's the work of heaven.
No man planted seeds; no man watered the grass; no man tended the flowers; no man grew anything.
"Aaron’s staff, which represented the tribe of Levi, had not only sprouted but had budded, blossomed and produced almonds." Numbers 17:8
"Do not desecrate my sanctuary. I am the Lord, who makes you holy.’” Think about the priests in Jesus' day. "All the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put Him to death; and they bound Him, and led Him away, and delivered Him up to Pilate the governor” (Matt. 27:1-2). They took counsel. The error of the chief priests and Pharisees has been perpetuated and refined from Leviticus to this century. This error has to do with a false perception of holiness. What does holiness really look like? The chief priests? Counterfeit holiness. What about today. Are we a holy people? God is most concerned about making us holy. Is that my major concern in any given matter? Are we dealing with the Truth.
