The Riddle of the Urim and Thummim (Evening Program)

This special evening program delves into one of the enduring mysteries of scripture—the urim and thummim. Drawing on passages from Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and the historical books, the study considers the many theories about what these sacred objects were and how they were used by Israel’s high priest. Far from superstition, the urim and thummim represented the means by which God’s decisive judgment was revealed to His people in matters of national importance. The lecture carefully traces how these divine lots functioned in practice, how their verdicts were both visible and audible, and how they pointed forward to the ultimate high priest, christ, in whom the true light and fullness of God’s judgment resides. It concludes with a call for believers today to embrace the clarity and decisiveness of God’s word, living lives marked by integrity, truth, and faith.
