The earliest of the mankind races created manuscripts that were handed down, through time, until the early religious monks compiled the folklore into unique records. Each collection of accounts contained codes that help them to decipher the life-style of future generations. As the earth grew older and more populace, the mishandling of the precious works became very important. The authors, the Eastern Studies, Byzantine monks created the books to always cross-reference with each other...so as above, so is below...as on earth, so it is in heaven. Therefore, the New Testament collection should illustrated the Old Testament books.
Leprosy
The disease of Leprosy can be acquired through many different sources. It is so vast that most of the cases have been condensed into a few urgent categories. Two of them being, beastuality and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Beastuality leprosy mainly gets started from eating animal meat that is not suitable of human consumption. HIV leprosy gets started through the consumption or transfusion of human flesh (meat) or blood. The Old Testament Laws through Moses, Aaron, and later Zoroaster chose when at time were not good for priests and followers to return to the alter in thanksgiving offerings and other ritual sacrifices that the then faithful had to eat. Bulls, rams, sheep, lambs, and some birds gave out rashes that often turned to leprosy. During those healing days, and sometimes months, the priests and faithful followers could not attend the religious services.
(From here forth NLT represents New living Translation).

Let's look at six verses on the subject both the word 'Leprosy'...
Leviticus 13: 1 ... Moses and Aaron
"The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, 2. "If anyone has a swelling or a rash or discolored skin that might develop into a serious skin disease, that person must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons. 3. The priest will examine the affected area of the skin." - NLT

Leviticus 13: 3, 5-6 ... Has Turned White
"The priest will examine the affected area of the skin. If the hair in the affected area has turned white and the problem appears to be more than skin-deep, it is a serious skin disease, and the priest who examines it must pronounce the person ceremonially unclean. 5. On the seventh day the priest will make another examination. If he finds the affected area has not changed and the problem has not spread on the skin, the priest will quarantine the person for seven more days. 6. On the seventh day the priest will make another examination. If he finds the affected area has faded and has not spread, the priest will pronounce the person ceremonially clean. It was only a rash. The person's clothing must be washed, and the person will be ceremonially clean " - NLT
Revelation 3: 1-6 ... Clothed In White
"Write this letter to the angel of the church in Sardis. This is the message from the one who has the sevenfold Spirit of God and the seven stars: "I know all the things you do, and that you have a reputation for being alive—but you are dead. 2. Wake up! Strengthen what little remains, for even what is left is almost dead. I find that your actions do not meet the requirements of my God. 3. Go back to what you heard and believed at first; hold to it firmly. Repent and turn to me again. If you don't wake up, I will come to you suddenly, as unexpected as a thief. 4. "Yet there are some in the church in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes with evil. They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy. 5. All who are victorious will be clothed in white. I will never erase their names from the Book of Life, but I will announce before my Father and his angels that they are mine. 6. "Anyone with ears to hear must listen to the Spirit and understand what he is saying to the churches." - NLTRevelation 3: 1-6 ... Clothed In White

Leviticus 13: 10-14 ... Turned Completely White
"If the priest finds a white swelling on the skin, and some hair on the spot has turned white, and there is an open sore in the affected area, 11. it is a chronic skin disease, and the priest must pronounce the person ceremonially unclean. In such cases the person need not be quarantined, for it is obvious that the skin is defiled by the disease. 12. "Now suppose the disease has spread all over the person's skin, covering the body from head to foot. 13. When the priest examines the infected person and finds that the disease covers the entire body, he will pronounce the person ceremonially clean. Since the skin has turned completely white, the person is clean. 14. But if any open sores appear, the infected person will be pronounced ceremonially unclean. - NLT

So where does the story of "Golgotha, the Crucifixion, and Easter" fit in with this lesson? "Golgotha" is the blemish, (or the sore's mound), "Crucifixion" is the removal (or, the separation), and "Easter" is to be declared "White Again". In the story of the crucifixion, at the foot to the Golgotha mound are the lepers (or, the unclean souls) who are waiting for the Christ to arrive. The lepers all know that the Christ is going to be cut away (or, the easter). And from that infectious removal the body of those lost in leprosy will be considered 'clean'. Thus, is the sacrifice of Christ, which today Christian call The Easter.
Easter is supposed to be the end of both the human and animal sacrifices. Christ, son of God, as the eye-for-eye, and the 100 fold animals for the sacrifices of the Egyptian's first born. Failure at Mount Sinai, lack of faith in Moses, and disobedience to the theories of the One God of whom Moses belonged to in faith. Because, Moses was the Israelite's savior.
Thanks for the willingness to serve a nation of persons who's love was only themselves. It is through that historical event that we, the believers in the only One God, have learned to better understand why we are different from those who do not understand You. The Milky Way is White, the earth saturated with mankind is Red. May all the world understand and hear Your name as our LORD.
