That was not God's highest, that was God's second best, I believe. When God told the children of Israel to kill the Passover lamb, they did not have to wait for a Levite to come down the street to kill that lamb, the head of every house was a priest, the head of every house could function as a priest, and slit the throat of that animal and apply the blood of the lamb, that was God's intention, but there came a day when when Moses was in the presence of God, and the children of Israel left there in the hands of Aaron, that the people got out of control, they put pressure on Aaron, and you know the story, he made the golden calf, and around that golden calf is basically a sexual orgy that was going on, they'd strip themselves naked, they would give themselves to every conceivable passion and desire, God looks at that situation, he says to Moses, you get down that mountain right away, your people, not my people, your people, that came out of the land of Egypt have corrupted themselves, they turned aside from the way which I commanded them, and Moses goes down that mountain, and there is that great mass of immorality, and idolatry, and perversion, and everything else going on, and he issues the first altar call in history, and he says, will you separate yourself and stand with me on God's side, and the tribe of Levi separated themselves, it was the only tribe out of the 12 tribes that says, we will serve God as for me and my house, so to speak, and they separated themselves, but there was still a remnant that did not separate themselves, and then there is the follow -up to the altar call, as God says through Moses, I want you now to take your sword, go right back into that mass of immorality, and so on, and slay every man, his brother, and sister, and mother, and father, not every man, because the entire nation would have been killed, but there was a remnant of their own people that refused to separate themselves, and they went back in, and God says, because you have done this, I will bestow a blessing upon you today, that blessing we read out there in Deuteronomy chapter 33, where he says, because of this, as Moses begins to prophetically announce his blessing on each of the tribes of Israel, that they would have their own particular peculiar calling, and so on, he comes to the tribe of Levi, and he reminds them, because you did not consider your brother, your mother, your sister, your friend, and so on, but you stood in awe of my name, therefore you shall teach my law to Israel, that was why God chose the tribe of Levi, based on separation, God is looking for a people today, especially in leadership, that will have a holy hatred of sin, you should not be in the pastorate, you should not be in the ministry, unless you have that fierce loyalty to the word of God, today we're more afraid of offending people than we are of offending God, we no longer preach against sin, why?
