Hebrews 8:10

10. With the house of Israel The new covenant was truly made by Christ with (or rather to, as the Greek word signifies) the literal house of Israel, as the Hebrew readers of this epistle knew, and had accepted it. Yet only a remnant for the time, and until this time, accepted, and were by it saved. The Gentiles accepted, and are gathered in within the limits of this house of Israel; and it is within the limits of this covenant that the literal Israel shall be gathered into the fold of Christ. Here St. Paul’s statement in Romans 11:1-32 should be most deliberately read. It will then be seen that Israel’s restoration is not a national return to Palestine, but a universal, yet individual, restoration to the covenant under Christ.

After those days The days or period of the Mosaic covenant, covering several centuries. The student of prophecy should here carefully note the comprehensive use of the word days, to signify great periods and dispensations of time. So in the words, Hebrews 8:8. And it should be also noted, that these days of centuries positively contradict the notion that Christ’s second advent was expected by the inspired writers to take place in the apostolic age. On the contrary, these centurial days measured out a new probational dispensation a new aeon, or age. In that age are we; and the complete fulfilment of Jeremiah’s prophecy is yet in prospect before the second advent; that is, the second advent is not pre- but post-millennial.

Write them in their hearts They shall no more be recorded on the insensate stone, to be observed with a mechanical obedience. There shall be a quickened conscience, a clearer knowledge, and a bounding readiness of heart to obey the holy law.

To them a God With no false god intervening.
