Leviticus 20:1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Again, you shall say to the children of Israel : 'Whoever of the children of Israel , or of the strangers who dwell in Israel , who gives any of his descendants to Molech, he shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones. 3 'I will set My face against that man, and will cut him off from his people, because he has given some of his descendants to Molech, to defile My sanctuary and profane My holy name. 4 'And if the people of the land should in any way hide their eyes from the man, when he gives some of his descendants to Molech, and they do not kill him, 5 'then I will set My face against that man and against his family; and I will cut him off from his people, and all who prostitute themselves with him to commit harlotry with Molech. 6 'And the person who turns to mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from his people. 7 'Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am the LORD your God. 8 'And you shall keep My statutes, and perform them: I am the LORD who sanctifies you.

Lessons learned from Jehovah M’kaddesh the Lord who sanctifies passage:
1 God declared Himself to be the one who sanctifies the people and with the strength of that truth commanded them to live holy.
2 God commanded the Israelites to keep themselves from false gods. There was great warning do not consult with mediums, wizards (drugs), or familiar spirits. Our society today is dancing with these great evils. Many “church people do not recognize they are dabbling in what is abominable to God.
3 To be sanctified by God is to have God call you His own!

Jesus revealed as Jehovah M’kaddesh our Sanctifier:
Hebrews 10:7 Then I said, 'Behold, I have come; In the volume of the book it is written of Me; To do Your will, O God.'"
Hebrews 10:9 then He said, "Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God." He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

1 Peter 1:13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; 15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy." 17 And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

Lesson learned from knowing Jesus as our sanctifier Jehovah M’kaddesh:
1 Jesus took away the first covenant (the law) that he might established the second covenant (covenant of grace and truth John 1:14, 16-17)
2 Jesus Christ, with the sacrifice of Himself, sanctified us (genuine believers) once and for all.
3 As it stated in Hebrews 10:14 Jesus has perfected forever those who are being sanctified. Hebrews 12:23 speaks of this perfection of just men’s spirits made perfect. It is imputed perfection based upon the great sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Perfection in our spirit being worked out in our soul until the final day of redemption.
4 Because of the divine influence that has brought sanctification we need to gather the stray thoughts in our mind and bring them unto subjection to the obedience of Jesus Christ.
5 Because God is holy we can walk holy. Not in our old man (we had to put it to death). But the new man can walk in holiness because that is how God created it. The new man is created in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:24
6 Christ imputed sanctification to us based upon us being born of the imperishable seed of God!
