"When a man or a woman has white spots on the skin, the priest shall examine the person. If the spots are a pale white, it is a matter of no importance. The person is pure. If a man loses hair from the back of his head or from the front, he becomes bald or partly bald, but does not become unclean. But, if on the part of the head (without hair) a pink-colored spot appears, it is a contagious disease". - Levítico 13.38-44
(Translation from the new language of Today)
Let's analyze this verse. In the book of Leviticus, there are several laws, and instructions that God gave to Moses, and through him, taught the priests who were Aaron and his sons.
The Bible says, that when spots appeared on the skin of a man or a woman, they had to be examined by the priest, and God said that if the spot had a pale color, it was a matter of no importance, but if it were spots with colors, it was a contagious disease.
So, bringing this to our days, the pale-colored spot, symbolizes sin, however that sin seems harmless to you, so it is something that approaches you, that enters your skin, but you are still pure. But, if that sin, if that spot, gains color, gains space, and opens a wound, it becomes a contagious disease.
The Bible, in the previous chapters, says, that the priest, examined, and if in his opinion, the spot had gained color, even if it was a spot, he isolated the person, for purification, for seven days, and if within those days, it disappeared, he considered it pure, and the person returned to the fellowship of the people, but if the spot continued, and spread he considered it unclean and separated the person from the camp because otherwise, it would infect others.
That's what sin does. When you come into contact with it, and it seems harmless to you, sometimes you ignore it, but if you don't pursue purification, that sin can stay in your head, gain space, spread through your body, that is, if that sin pulls another, if that abyss pulls another, it becomes a contagious disease, and you are taken from among the people, because God does not want a bride with blemishes, so God removes this contagious disease, so that others do not perish because of you.
You isolate yourself when the spot appears, the tendency is to isolate yourself, you no longer have the purity and pleasure of glorifying God, you no longer have the purity and pleasure of singing, playing, hearing God's voice, there is no more PURIFICATION.
So, this disease takes over you, and consumes you.
That's why we must be careful with little spots, it's a song, it's a movie, it's a little spot... purify yourself, seek the priest, and purify yourself. Seek God, God is the priest, he has the power to purify and remove that spot from you.
