“Say to the people of Israel, Any one of the people of Israel or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones. Leviticus 20:2 (ESV)
This still happens today and even in the sanitised west we sacrifice our children by exposing them to evil in the media and sacrificing them on the altar of our careers or convenience
“If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. Leviticus 20:10 (ESV)
This shows that in the case when the woman was caught in the act of adultery the man was allowed to escape because the leaders was just trying to catch Jesus out and had themselves fallen away from keeping the law in truth
If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. Leviticus 20:13 (ESV)
God always speaks of Homosexuality in the strongest terms
“The priest who is chief among his brothers, on whose head the anointing oil is poured and who has been consecrated to wear the garments, shall not let the hair of his head hang loose nor tear his clothes. Leviticus 21:10 (ESV)
The high priest broke this law in the mock trial of Jesus
And when anyone offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering from the herd or from the flock, to be accepted it must be perfect; there shall be no blemish in it. Leviticus 22:21 (ESV)
This (and all references like it) points forward to Jesus as our perfect sacrifice without blemish and to the Holiness of God
He said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him. John 9:38 (ESV)
Jesus as God incarnate receives this worship
Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.” John 9:39 (ESV)
Jesus is the light of the world, by virtue of the light coming in darkness, those in spiritual blindness will see. Light brings judgment, I can not discern where I am or what I should do without light. Jesus by virtue of bringing the light of the Gospel brings clear judgment to those who choose to reject the light a cleave to the dark. Also the light coming on shows up those who claim to have sight but really don’t.
