Leviticus 24:16
anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord is to be put to death. The entire assembly must stone them. Whether foreigner or native-born, when they blaspheme the Name they are to be put to death.

Wow!! Can you imagine today?? Anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord is to be PUT TO DEATH!! I think half my of office would be dead by now. Seriously though, we see a tremendous fear and reverence when God acted in this way. We see the case of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 and how they too were put to death by the angel of the Lord for lying to the Holy Ghost. The church then feared God and the church, in turn, multiplied.

Note they were in no hurry. They simply waited until the Lord spoke to them on how to handle the matter. We are to have patience with every decision. Note how the people sought God's guidance in every case.

"Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning continually.

The Holy Spirit is analogous to the oil in the lamps. We see here that it is "PURE" oil ... not mixed with anything that is "natural" and that the lamps are to be kept burning continuously. The Holy Spirit is to work in our lives continuously.
