Letter to the Hebrews |
|
Introduction Portions of the Ecclesia, in English called the church, did not know of the early Jewish culture and the languages of the day, therefore they have developed gross misconceptions concerning the intent of the letter called 'Hebrews'. The letter was written to the Jewish converts who obviously lived in the time of Christ Jesus. The Epistle to the Hebrews was not designed by the writer,perhaps Paul, to be parsed over, and erroneously deemed to be God's doctrine speaking to the gentile church/ecclesia. The main purpose of the letter to the Hebrews was to address some of the misunderstandings of the Jewish converts that had come to believe in Messiah Yeshua/Jesus the Christ. The letter was written directly to the new Jewish believers, so as too clarify the fullness of God's New Covenant in the Sacrificial LIFE giving Blood of Jesus Christ that initiated Yahweh's Great Salvation Gift of True LIFE. Unfortunately, much of the leadership of the protestant churches, have unwittingly established their own stumbling blocks that are continually perpetuated by puppet pastors in their circuitous circles of learning. Also the various catholic churches have developed their own corrupt teachings that imprisons their people to the vanity of their institution. For example, the Catholic Church, in deference to the WORD of God condemning other would be gods of the nations, the church has invented their own gods to follow by sanctioning them as saints. The church of finite men no nothing as they should. We will see in the heresies that some of the teachers on God's Holy Matter have given license to sin, for they have dismissed the power of God's New Covenant of Sanctifying Grace through Yahweh's Holy Spirit of Grace IN Christ Jesus. Within our Thanksgiving Communion with the Almighty Yahweh God, we are to know that God's Holy Spirit of TRUTH and Grace provides the Body and Life giving Blood of the Almighty's Only Begotten Son of Man, Yeshua haMashiach. However, presently the TRUTH IN Holy Communion for repentant believers, is erroneously seen by the evangelicals as a superfluous doctrine by superstitious men. The ignorant teachings of finite man have supplanted the fullness of the Infinite Holy Yahweh God's New Covenant Doctrine that Yahweh eternally established in the LIFE Giving Sacrificial Blood of Jesus Christ, Yeshua haMashiach. To the Jewish converts, the author of the letter to the Hebrews, begins to expound upon the Supreme Greatness of the Messiah and WORD of Yahweh God.
1 In the past,
Yahweh God,
spoke
to our ancestors through the prophets
at many times and in various ways:
Now consider that which is seldom addressed by the clergy for Christ Jesus was the "Lamb of God, Who in Yahweh God's foresight, was deemed to be crucified before the foundation of the world". (1st Peter 1 verse 18 thru 21, John 17 verse 24.) The finality of Yahweh's Promised Lamb Crucified to death before the foundation of the world, was concluded in the flow of time, when the Lamb of God declared with His last breath from His cross, "It is finished". The Lamb of Yahweh God had totally fulfilled the Promise of His Holy Father
Yahweh God, Who had declared before the foundation of the world, that
His innocent Lamb would finish the Work of Creation. For
Jesus/Yeshua died
a wretched death on the cross for the sins of the world to save mankind from
extinction.
With Yeshua's Resurrection IN the LIFE of His Father, Yahweh God, then the New Covenant
had been affirmed: The TRUTH of why Yahweh God's Son came to earth IN the Flesh of Man/Adam, was confirmed IN Christ Messiah's crucifixion death for the rebellion of Adam the first Man, and with His resurrection into the LIFE of His Father, God's New Covenant, was Eternally established IN the LIFE giving Blood of God's unblemished Lamb. Nevertheless, Sin does not cease in the human flesh, not even in the saved Christian, for sin will persistently occur in the flesh of all of mankind and needs to be purified: For all sin must be humbly released into the crucified Hands of our High Priest, the Man Christ Jesus, Who will faithfully cleanse the affliction of sin.
Behold the days come says the Lord (Yahweh God), that I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to bring them out of Egypt. (See all of Jeremiah 31 verse 31 thru 35.)
4 Being made so much better than
the angels, for He (Yeshua/Jesus) has by inheritance obtained a more
Excellent Name than they.
5 For unto which of the angels said He at any time, you art my son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him, (an angel) a Father, and he shall be to Me a Son? 6 But, when He brings in the First Begotten into the world, He said: And let all the angels of God worship Him. 7 For of the angels He said: They are spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire. 8 But unto the Son He said: Thy Throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your Kingdom. 9 You (Yeshua) have loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, (Yeshua), even Your God (Yahweh), has anointed You with the oil of gladness above Your fellows. 10 And, You, Lord Yeshua, in the beginning has laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of Your Hands: 11 They shall perish; but You (Yeshua)remain; and they all shall wax old as does a garment; 12 And as a vesture shall You fold them up, and they shall be changed: but You are the Same, and Your years shall not fail. , 13 But to which of the angels said He (Yahweh God) at any time, sit on My Right Hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool?14 Are they (the angels) not all ministering spirits, sent forth (by Me, Yahweh God) to minister for those who shall be heirs of Salvation? Now, when Yahweh God's appointed time had come, then on the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, Nissan the 15th, the Lord Yeshua/Jesus Christ, instituted the New Covenant IN His Body and shed Blood that was received by faith of the 11 of His chosen disciples. This was Yahweh God's everlasting Covenant that through His Mercy in Christ Jesus was to be received by repentant sinners for the remission of their confessed sins. This new Covenant was not only for the present day disciples, but for all that would come to believe IN Yahweh's WORD of Salvation Yeshua haMashiach. This took place on the Feast of Unleavened Bread, Nissan the 15th, when the Lord Yeshua/Jesus Blessed the Unleavened Bread, and Said: Take and eat, for this is My Body. Then of the wine Jesus/Yeshua Said: Drink all of you. This is My Blood of the New Covenant, shed for many for the remission of sin. For unto which of the angels said God at
any time: Thou Art My Son
this day have I begotten Thee. Kiss the Son, unless He becomes angry, and
you perish from The WAY, when His wrath be kindled but a little. Blessed
are they that put their trust IN HIM. And to His Son, the Almighty Yahweh God declares of the Messiah: Thy Throne, O God, is for ever and ever:
A Scepter of Righteousness is the Scepter of Thy Kingdom. Thou has loved
righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, Thy God, has anointed Thee with
the oil of gladness above Thy fellows. For we see Jesus/Yeshua, [The Son of Adam] Who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor; that He by the Grace of Yahweh God should taste death for every man. (See Hebrews 2 verse 9 thru 10,16 thru 17.)
