In the past, when you did not know God, you served as slaves beings which in reality are non-gods. But now you do know God, and, more than that, you are known by God. So how is it that you turn back again to those weak and miserable elemental spirits? Do you want to enslave yourselves to them once more? You observe special days, months, seasons and years! I fear for you that my work among you has been wasted! Galatians 4:8-11

THE PREPOSITION AS ADVERB
Many prepositions, such as about, outside, past, and before, can be used as either an adverb or a preposition.
An example using "behind" as an adverb: The boy fell behind.
And as a preposition: The boy fell behind us.
Sometimes, two prepositions can be used consecutively, one as an adverb and another as a preposition.
Example: The boy climbed up onto the roof.
"Up" is used as an adverb, while "onto" is used as a preposition.
Here's another example showing incorrect and a correct usage:
Wrong: Get your nose out my business.
Right: Get your nose out of my business.
"Out" is used as an adverb, and "of" as a preposition.
If you are going to use an adverb-preposition combo like these, please get it right. Don't make me write another one of these posts.

13+ Surprising Things That Will Still Exist in the Millennial Era
The Millennial Kingdom is often portrayed as an era of perfect peace and harmony, but this is very far from what scripture portrays. Here are a few things that you might be surprised to learn the Bible says will be present in the world while Yeshua reigns personally in Jerusalem.
- Animal sacrifices at the Temple in Jerusalem
- The Biblical feasts celebrated in Israel
- Levitical priesthood functioning at the Temple
- Drought
- Famine
- War
- Social class
- Economic disparity
- Sin
- Death
- Labor
- Trade
- Nations
- etc.
Some of these things are good, some are bad, but Yeshua will allow them all to continue after his triumphant return. God has his own purposes for allowing these things and he hasn't seen fit to explain his reasoning to us. Maybe he never will.
A Chiasm in the Induction of the Priests
There is a chiasm in Leviticus 8:1-5 dealing with the conveyance and execution of God's instructions for inducting Aaron and his sons into the Levitical priesthood.
What can be gleaned from this? I don't immediately know. I'll have to come back to it another day.
