14:23 Surely they shall not see the land which I swore to give to their fathers; nor shall any who provoked (spurned, despised) Me see it.

VIII. MAIN BODY:

A. No outsiders please

"To be a memorial [a warning forever] to the Israelites, so that no outsider, that is, no one not of the descendants of Aaron, should come near to offer incense before the Lord,"

Incense or "qetoreth" in Hebrew word meaning: fumigation, incense or perfume.

2 Corinthians 2:15-16

For we are the sweet fragrance of Christ [which exhales] unto God, [discernible alike] among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing:

To the latter it is an aroma [wafted] from death to death [a fatal odor, the smell of doom]; to the former it is an aroma from life to life [a vital fragrance, living and fresh]. And who is qualified (fit and sufficient) for these things? [Who is able for such a ministry? We?]

Numbers 3:38

But those to encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, before the Tent of Meeting, toward the sunrise, were to be Moses and Aaron and his sons, keeping the full charge of the rites of the sanctuary in whatever was required for the Israelites; and the excluded [one not a descendant of Aaron and called of God] who came near [the sanctuary] was to be put to death.

2 Corinthians 2:14

But thanks be to God, Who in Christ always leads us in triumph [as trophies of Christ’s victory] and through us spreads and makes evident the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere,

The fragrance of CHRIST is spread because of the LORD JESUS CHRIST leading us always in triumph (CHRIST's victories) and spreads these knowledge of GOD everywhere. If a CHRISTian believers stops (for example) witnessing and sharing GOD's WORDS, he will be nothing and will not be able to spread GOD's knowledge to everyone. We are fragrant or perfume holders, we are the clay and the LORD JESUS CHRIST is the Potter and also He is the Perfume (a fragrant incense before GOD) inside of us. If we fail to spread this perfume in this dying world, yes, this world will die because of their sin, but GOD WILL HOLD US ACCOUNTABLE for it. So do our job here on earth as fragrance holder.

Jeremiah 18:6-11

O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter does? says the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel.

At one time I will suddenly speak concerning a nation or kingdom, that I will pluck up and break down and destroy it;

And if [the people of] that nation concerning which I have spoken turn from their evil, I will relent and reverse My decision concerning the evil that I thought to do to them.

At another time I will suddenly speak concerning a nation or kingdom, that I will build up and plant it;

And if they do evil in My sight, obeying not My voice, then I will regret and reverse My decision concerning the good with which I said I would benefit them.

Now therefore say to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Thus says the Lord: Behold, I am shaping evil against you and devising a plan against you. Return now each one from his evil way; reform your [accustomed] ways and make your [individual] actions good and right.

Isaiah 64:8

Yet, O Lord, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You our Potter, and we all are the work of Your hand.

Isaiah 45:9

Woe to him who strives with his Maker!—a worthless piece of broken pottery among other pieces equally worthless [and yet presuming to strive with his Maker]! Shall the clay say to him who fashions it, What do you think you are making? or, Your work has no handles?

Romans 9:20

But who are you, a mere man, to criticize and contradict and answer back to God? Will what is formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus?

Isaiah 29:16

[Oh, your perversity!] You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be considered of no more account than the clay? Shall the thing that is made say of its maker, He did not make me; or the thing that is formed say of him who formed it, He has no understanding?

We are GOD's vessel (perfume holder).

1 Thessalonians 4:4

That each one of you should know how to ossess (control, manage) his own body in consecration (purity, separated from things profane) and honor,

2 Timothy 2:21

So whoever cleanses himself [from what is ignoble and unclean, who separates himself from contact with contaminating and corrupting influences] will [then himself] be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and noble purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for any good work.

1 Peter 3:7

In the same way you married men should live considerately with [your wives], with an intelligent recognition [of the marriage relation], honoring the woman as [physically] the weaker, but [realizing that you] are joint heirs of the grace (God’s unmerited favor) of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered and cut off. [Otherwise you cannot pray effectively.]

B. They will die horribly like what happened to Korah

"lest he become as Korah and as his company, as the Lord said to Eleazar through Moses."

GOD's Presence is unapproachable if you do it your way, but do it GOD'S WAY and you can enter GOD's Throne of Grace.

Hebrews 4:16

Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God’s unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it].

Man's way: religion:

Acts 4:12

And there is salvation in and through no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by and in which we must be saved.

GOD's WAY: the LORD JESUS CHRIST not the mother, but JESUS HIMSELF.

John 14:6

Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.

Proverbs 10:29

The way of the Lord is strength and a stronghold to the upright, but it is destruction to the workers of iniquity.

Proverbs 23:19

Hear, my son, and be wise, and direct your mind in the way [of the Lord].

Proverbs 29:27

An unjust man is an abomination to the righteous, and he who is upright in the way [of the Lord] is an abomination to the wicked.

Three-fold duties of priest and perfume holder of GOD in CHRIST JESUS:

1 Peter 2:9

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, [God’s] own purchased, special people, that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

1. Set forth His Wonderful Deeds to this dying world (Finished WORK OF CHRIST at the cross of Calvary)

2. Display CHRIST's virtues

3. Display Perfections of CHRIST

IX. CONCLUSION:

Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You are my Perfume and my Potter, you shape me according to Your likeness and appearance.
