 Burnt Offering and Meat Offering
    Why did God the Holy Spirit document two offerings in Judges Chapter 13? There are five offerings in Scripture: the burnt offering, meal offering, peace offering, sin offering and trespass offering. All offerings reveal different aspects of Christ. However, only two offerings were mentioned with Manoah and his wife: the burnt offering and the meat offering for a specific reason. The burnt offering is the first offering mention in the book of Leviticus, but it is in the book of Genesis Chapter 22 when Abraham took his son Isaac, at God’s directive, to offer him to God that the burnt offering is first associated with a father’s close bond and relationship to a son, or it can also be written “a Father’s close bond and relationship to a Son.”  As with all biblical references, the very first reference sets the tone and meaning for all that follows.
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son] Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. (Genesis 22:2)
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him. (Genesis 22:3)
And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid [it] upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together. (Genesis 22:6)
And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here [am] I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where [is] the lamb for a burnt offering? (Genesis 22:7)
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. (Genesis 22:8)
And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind [him] a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. (Genesis 22:13)
   The burnt offering was an offering directed BY God, FOR God, TO God, and THROUGH GOD. The burnt offering is not about sin.  It is about LOVE, the love of a Son FOR His Father and TO His Father, and the love of a Father FOR His Son and THROUGH His Son. Both of them together willingly experience the most supreme act of love ever exhibited in the Supernatural realm of God for ALL of creation . . . and they went both of them together. The burnt offering is exclusively God’s . . .   God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13)
Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. (1st John 3:16)
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. (Ephesians 5:2)
   Then we see the meat offering in Judges Chapter 13. The meat offering is also NOT related directly to sin, and it is also a sweet savor offering to God. It is through the meat offering that Christ is seen as that holy thing, the holy child and the Holy One given to man, sent from God. 
    The perfection of the Man from heaven is directly connected to the meat offering. If I am not mistaken, I believe that the wordsflour mingled with oilonly occurs in the meat offering. Flour symbolizes manna (bread) that feeds man, and oil symbolizes the Holy Spirit of God, and mingled together represents the invisible and visible union of the manifestation of the Godhead bodily.
Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.  (John 6:31)
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. (John 6:32)
For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.  (John 6:33)
Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.  (John 6:34)
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.  (John 6:35)
I am that bread of life.  (John 6:48)
    The burnt offering was the first offering documented in Scripture because it represented what God offered of Himself for ALL of His creation. The meat offering came next because it represented what the Son of God, through the determinate counsels of God, offered of Himself as the visible manifestation of the Godhead bodily. In Judges 13:16, the following reference sets the tone of the burnt offering:  and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD, for it was of the LORD. And the angel of the LORD said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto the LORD. For Manoah knew not that he [was] an angel of the LORD.  (Judges 13:16) But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these [things], nor would as at this time have told us [such things] as these. (Judges 13:23) ◆ End of Side Note: Burnt Offering and Meat Offering
