Hebrews Chapter 8
:1-2 Now this is the point of the things we are saying: We
have such a High Priest Who is seated at the right hand of The Throne of The
Majesty in the Heavens (Colossians 3:1-2), a Minister of The Sanctuary and The
true Tabernacle which The LORD erected, and not man (Matthew 20:25-28, John
13:12-17, Romans 8:26-28, Hebrews 7:25, 1 John 2:1-2).
:3-5 For every High Priest is appointed to offer both gifts
and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that This One also have something to
offer (2 Corinthians 5:18-21, Hebrews 7:25-27). For if He were on earth, He
would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to
the law, who serve the copy and shadow of the Heavenly things (Hebrews 10:1),
as Moses was Divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For
He (GOD) said, “See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you
on the mountain.” (Exodus 25:40).
:6 But now He has obtained a more Excellent Ministry,
inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a Better Covenant (Hebrews 9:13-15), which
was established on Better Promises (Hebrews 10:15-17).
:7-9 For if that first Covenant had been faultless
(Exodus19:4-6), then no place would have been sought for a second. Because
finding fault with them He says: “Behold, the days are coming, says The LORD,
when I will make a New Covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of
Judah (Jeremiah 31:31-34, Malachi 3:1, Luke 22:19-20)–not according to the
covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead the out
of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded
them (Isaiah 63:7-10, Proverbs 1:20-33), says The LORD.”
:10 “For this is the Covenant that I will make with the House
of Israel after those days, says The LORD: I will put My Laws in their mind (2
Timothy 1:7) and write them on their hearts (Jeremiah 24:7); and I will be
their GOD, and they shall be My People (Luke 1:12-17).”
:11 “None of them shall teach (Isaiah 54:13) his neighbor,
and his brother, saying, ‘Know The LORD,’ for all shall know Me (John
14:16-17), from the least of them to the greatest of them.”
:12 “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and
their sins, and their lawless deeds I will remember no more (Psalm 103:11-14,
Romans 11:26-27).”
:13 In that He says, “A New Covenant,” He has made the first
obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away
(2 Corinthians 5:17, Revelation 21:1-2).
