This book starts out as a way of life for the Israelites. The way church services, and what they can and cannot eat. Like pig. Most of the laws in this book are made in order to protect the people from diseases. Which God promised them to be free of the diseases in the Exodus. So anything unclean, unsanitary, unhealthy, and down right gross. They then turn to the topic of sex, who you can and cannot "do". They never mention premarital sex as a sin, and also in my Bible never mentions homosexuals (but I know some Bibles do usually in Leviticus chapter 18) either, all it really says is no family and animals. The rest of this book tells about holy days and Sabbaths. The end talks about what would happen if you obeyed, or disobeyed the commandments. What I found interesting is what would happen if you disobeyed the commandments. It said that if you disobeyed your people will be spread out over all the nations (which it is), others will have access to the land I provided (which it is), and even talks about the potential deaths and inability to survive in other nations (which has happened).
So apparently the Jews disobeyed a commandment. I do not know much about the Jewish history and when everything turned and they left Israel. But it seemed to happen according to scripture. I do not necessarily believe that this means the Bible is truth. It is one coincidence so far. However, it has made me think about the possibility.
