Does the houses and haunted Christianity mix? We know that the Bible talks about angels and of spirits, the charming and the sorcerers, and of those that looks for to the death. Do now I do not aim to regulate spirits on the stupidity way (God warns us to remain clear of the agents of obscurity); but I would ask the question: these principalities in the high places include the concept of haunted houses?

To probe for a response, we to allow looking in the Old Testament where the Christian Bible records a law about the houses that are tormented with the lašpre. It is presented in this curious manner:

"And the LORD spake to Moses and to Aaron, say, When you came in the earth of country of Canaan, that I give you for a possession, and I put the plague of lašpre in a house of the earth of your possession; And it that owneth that the house will come and will say the priest, say, It seemeth to me there is As it was a plague to the house: Then the priest will order that they empty the house, before the priest goes in him to see the plague, that all that is Is not done to the dirty house: and after the priest will enter to see the house: And it will look at on the plague, and, contemplate, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow, greenish or reddish strakes, that in the view are Lower that the wall; Then the priest go out of the house to the door of the house, and close the house seven days:" (Leviticus 14:33-38).

Now, we wonder: Why would the creation God place a plague of lašpre in a house? Of more, we wonder to the nature of this plague (hollow strakes of greenish or reddish colors. We meditate also the method of cleaning. But most of all, as the Christians, we must meditate the goal to these writings.

If we read again, back up in the towards preceding, examining for the context. We read also beyond the current text, looking at there as guarantee if that we understand the perspective of the writing. [if you did not already do if. Read now any Leviticus 14].

To the final one, we return to the text under the hand and that it follows at the end of the chapter. Our home is on the exact and meaning measure of every word. In if to do, we notice the following points:

1. The lašpre is a symbol of witty uncleanness.

2. God establishes a method specifies for treaty the uncleanness.

3. We understand, by the implications, the relation between the lašpre and the sin and the necessary sacrifice for the cleaning.

4. [I will not soak deeper in this symbolism between the lašpre and the sin, to regret it, and the good day by the blood of Jesus Christ. If you are Christian, you know these relations. If you are not Christian, you need to look for the comprehension. For this item, I continue with the problem of attention of Bible to the haunted houses].

5. The earth is that that belonged once to the Canaanites: fading of Ham, the youngest son of Noah, cursed there is a long time to be the servants of servants; the practiciens of impure rites and of public prostitution; the favoring baal-peor and Ashtaroth (gods so-called) and the faithful ones of idolatry, their gods did rock that cannot talk about the and the Drinks that cannot hear.

6. The earth is given now on to Israel: The people choose god; a blessed nation although often wittyly weak, failing a lot time in their service but never cared for, protected, and sanctified by Jedhovah God.

7. The text implies that the house was held already at the time of possession of Jewish one. Of more, the house is constructed rock.

8. The plague is perceptible to the spectators, including, and first to those that live in the infected house. Every man knows which lies inside.

9. The strakes is hollow, this English word is taken word hedbraaŻque for the depression. In our spirit then, we see a picture of long and multi-colored tubes, the transmissions glass affectiant of hardened vase that cut flutings in the rock of the walls. The indication is that this arrived on a time period.

10. The signs outside of the plague are a symbol of a deeper problem.

11. The priest must execute the cleaning. All that are saved are a royal priesthood. Clean your own house.

12. The house must be emptied: for that that is clean remained then, that it must avoid the contact with the unsavory person.

13. The plague is examined for the depth and the penetration, if this is on the walls or if this is in the walls. The dirtiness is the dirtiness, but that that touches the exterior one easily can be recognized and can be cleaned; that that penetrates in the interior endures and growing.

14. The house is alone party for seven days to determine the broadcasting of the lašpre. Although the whole lašpre is a plague, not all the plagues contaminate the entire body.

15. Once the measure a lot of the plague is determined, all that are infected out must be torn and must be liquidated in a sure manner. Cut the kernel and all that it surround. To be anxious even a portion on one hand of a measure of known vileness is to be anxious full contamination.

16. Scratch, rubs, and liquidate any and all the remainders of the plague. Do not leave rock unturned, no intact corner.

17. Use the own and new rocks rebuild the walls. Watched out from which the rocks were stored, and examine every the one that it is so clean.

18. Apply gypsum and fresh mortar. This is not any temporary work of corrective one.

19. Keep the watch that the plague does not return, but if it has the return, then to demolish all that is old: the rock, wood, and the mortar. Wash the disgusting clothing. Clean all that touched the dirty items. Understand that the first cleaning was not by, that something was left behind, and that something was kept, kept in the walls, hung also in the indifference to the danger to hold as that is one to rot the mental and disease witty.

20. If the lašpre truly went, then to wash and clean the house with the living blood that there can remain forever clean. The true cleaning is not the person to load on the worker, but rather on the blood of cleaning of the lamb.

The contemporary history talks about the how histories the Canaanites, in knowledge and fear the God of Israel, would hide the idols of rock and drinks in the walls of their houses. I do not know the facts of this. Having lived once in a literal haunted house, I know the physical truth of their existence. Being come knowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and the Savior, I know also the truth of witty uncleanness.

These towards speak on the multiple levels of comprehension and of wisdom. Although the commentaries sank in this text, I touched on various direction. The writing talks about bodily houses and of physical means of cleaning. Internal house that exists in every person, this not if is blunted. How they relate, I leave until you.

Know this: God put the plague of lašpre to the house. It did not cause the plague, but rather it revealed his presence:

"For there is nothing covered, that will not be revealed; no hid, that will not be known. Therefore that it is spoke you in obscurity will be heard in the light; and that you spoke in the ear in the placards will be proclaimed on the roofs," (Luke 12:2-3).
