These verses explain that the old testament sacrifices of bulls and goats could not take away sin but only temporarily cover it. And then the author of Hebrews quotes from Psalms 40:6-8 which prophecy about Jesus coming in the form of a man to do God's will. In this, the old testament sacrifices had served its purpose and was no longer needed because Jesus Christ became the superior sacrifice once for all.

These verses declare how the shed blood of Jesus Christ brought in the new covenant so that all our sins are taken away forever. Jesus did not have to enter into the earthly temple to atone for sin through the shed blood of animal sacrifices in which the high priest did every year. He entered the throne of God and presented His blood, once for all, as a propitiation for all mankind.

Jesus Christ entered the Holy of holies in heaven as the perfect sacrifice and offered His blood for my sins "once for all." There is nothing more that I or any person can do to add to that or take away from it. All we have to do is believe in Jesus Christ and ask Him to forgive us of our sins and He takes all of it away, completely removed and washed clean, never to be remembered again.

The author of Hebrews continues to address how the earthly tabernacle and its furnishings are copies and a shadow of the true tabernacle in heaven and our great High Priest, Jesus Christ.

Because Jesus Christ counted it all joy to shed His blood on the cross for our sins, we have an eternal High Priest, and Minister of the true tabernacle in heaven, and a Mediator of a better and new covenant. The first covenant, the law and priesthood, was a copy and shadow of the true covenant in and through Jesus Christ.

Jesus is declared our High Priest forever by the oath given by God in Psalm 110:4. This new order in Jesus Christ replaced the Aaronic order and the OT Laws.

The author explains the significance of the order of Melchizedek in which Jesus Christ fulfills as our eternal High Priest and King.

Earlier, the author of Hebrews warned these believing Jews not to drift away. Now, he shows how they are able to not drift away, the anchor, who is Jesus Christ.

The author of Hebrews raises the issue of what happens to believers in Jesus Christ who turn from the new covenant and return back to the old covenant. They nullify the completed work of Jesus Christ on the cross and His resurrection.

The author of Hebrews writes powerful words concerning the salvation of believers in Jesus Christ. Some interpret these verses as saying that a Christian can loose their salvation if they walk away from the Lord and others say that these verses speak of a believer being ineffective for Jesus because they have walked away from the truths of God's Word.

As Christians, we are saved and born again by God's grace, believing in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. It is this foundational truth that stirs our heart to move on into the deeper truths of God's Word. This word "perfection" is translated in the Greek, to mature, to grow spiritually. Thank you for watching.

As Christians, as partakers of the heavenly calling, we should always be growing in our spiritual maturity through the "solid food" of God's Word. The author of Hebrews points out the markings of a spiritually immature Christian, things that we should avoid. Thank you for watching.

The author of Hebrews explains how Jesus Christ is our great High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek. Because of the finished work of Jesus Christ we can "come boldly to the throe of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need." Thank you for watching.

The author makes the point that hearing God's Word is not enough, it has to be with faith. This is the requirement in entering into God's rest. Thank you for watching.

The deceitfulness of sin hardened the hearts of the Israelites which caused them to disobey and not believe in the promises and words of God. This sin kept them out of the Promised Land. The author used this account as an example for all believers in Jesus Christ to be warned and exhorted.

We, those who believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, are called "holy" brothers and sisters of the Lord and "partakers" of the heavenly calling. Only through Jesus Christ we are identified as such. Thank you for watching

Thank you for watching.

The author of the Book of Hebrews writes his first of five warnings to the believing Jews. The author takes the truths of chapter one and warns the body of believers not to neglect and drift away from these truths. Thank you for watching.

The Hebrew Christians greatly honored the heavenly angels as they came with God to Moses and the Nation of Israel and brought the Law of God. The author of the Book of Hebrews makes the point, through Old Testament scripture, that Jesus is the Son of God and therefore far more superior to all angels who are created beings. Thank you for watching.

The author of the Book of Hebrews writes to the Jewish/Hebrew Christians to show them that the Old Testament pointed to Jesus Christ as the Messiah and the Son of God. These Christians were under persecution from the Roman Empire and were being misled by false teachers. All of things added to their confusion regarding this new covenant through Jesus Christ.

King Josiah, ruler of the kingdom of Judah, discovers God's Holy Word that has been sitting in the temple, unread. He has it read to him and immediately tears his clothes and repents of his sins, the sins of his people, and his fathers before him. He destroys all the false gods and pagan priests and he and the entire nation of Judah returns back to living for the Lord.

Daniel is instructed to seal up the prophecies that he has heard and the visions that he has seen, why? Also, Daniel is told of two separate numbered days that go beyond the 3 1/2 years in which the Lord will deal with the nation of Israel. What do these numbered days represent? These questions are addressed in this Bible study. Thank you for watching.

The angel encourages Daniel with these final prophecies for the nation of Israel, the Jews. Thank you for watching.

The angel gives Daniel additional prophecies regarding the coming anti-christ. As the world that we live in today continues to traverse on this path towards a one world government, religion, and economy, it is clear to see that the pieces are already being set in place for the anti-christ to come on scene and rise to power. Better yet, it reminds the believers in Jesus Christ that the time for Jesus' return is near.
