Uh oh. Only got to time stamp 3:25 before encountering wonky teaching. The Israelites could have triggered the Rapture if they'd followed the ritual prescribed in Deuteronomy 21? Nope. That's eisegesis not exegesis. Nowhere is there even a hint of such a thing being possible from the ritual the chapter lays out. As the Bible clearly indicates, everything God was doing directly in human history was oriented toward the advent of the Incarnation into the world as the "Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29; Hebrews 9-10:18). The sacrifices of the OT were "shadows" of what was to come; they prefigured the One Perfect Sacrifice who would, once for all, atone for the sins of mankind, foreordained to do so before the foundations of the world were laid (1 Peter 1:18-20). The idea that the entire redemptive program of God could have been short-circuited by a simple, animal, blood-sacrifice ritual makes a mockery of the necessity of that program.
Hebrews 9:7-14 (NASB)
7 but into the second, only the high priest enters once a year, not without taking blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance.
8 The Holy Spirit is signifying this, that the way into the holy place has not yet been disclosed while the outer tabernacle is still standing,
9 which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience,
10 since they relate only to food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation.
11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation;
12 and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood, He entered the holy place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.
13 For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh,
14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
