LESSON 2 * PART 4 * BOOK 50
Hebrews 7:20 – 8:10 - Part 2

Let’s begin where we left off in the last lesson, and that would be Hebrews chapter 8, and verse 3. Hebrews 8:1-2
"For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:" He couldn’t do that. Now verse 5.
Hebrews 8:5a
"(these priests of Israel, Judaism) Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle:…"The tabernacle at Mt. Sinai, in the wilderness. In other words, God is making sure that Moses builds that tabernacle according to the floor plan of the original, which is in Heaven. Now finishing verse 5.
Hebrews 8:5b
Let’s go to Exodus chapter 25 and verse 40. It all had to be according to God’s divine purposes. Now verse 40, and God is giving Moses instructions:
Exodus 25:40
It had to) be exactly as God had given him the pattern) which was shewed thee in the mount." Alright now then, come to the last chapter of Exodus, chapter 40, and we’ll look at verse 33. Exodus 40:33-34
So Moses finished the work. 34. Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle." Exodus 40:35
Alright, let’s come back to Hebrews once again finishing verse 5.
Hebrews 8:5b
Everything exactly as God had instructed. Now verse 6, here we come again, what’s the word?) Yes, Moses and all the craftsmen of Israel worked almost a year formulating all the things that went into that earthly tabernacle there out in the foot of Mt. Sinai.)
Hebrews 8:6a
You see the constant comparison of that which was good, the Mosaic system, the Mosaic Law. Hebrews 8:6
Now we know God’s going to do wondrous things yet with Israel someday, but the promises that He has given to us as believers, as members of the Body of Christ are beyond comprehension. Now verse 7. Hebrews 8:7a
"For if that first covenant had been faultless,…" That first covenant of Law wasn’t faultless, but if it had been; had it been faultless:
Hebrews 8:7b
If you’ve got something that’s perfect, leave it alone. Now let’s go into verse 8, then I’m going to stop and digress.
Hebrews 8:8-9
God did. God found fault with His own system of Law) he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah: 9. Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; (which was the covenant of Law) because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord."
The Shekinah Glory is right up there above the Tabernacle. Unbelief! The system of Law. It was not perfect. Galatians 4:8-9.
Galatians 4:8
"Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, (they were pagans remember) ye did service unto them who by nature are no gods." Now verse 9.
Galatians 4:9a
"But now, (again, after they had come out of paganism, out of idol worship, they’d stepped into the Grace of God and Paul’s Gospel) after that ye have known God, (the true God) or rather (he says) are known of God,…"
Galatians 4:9b
How could you, when you came out of paganism and not only did you know God but God knew you. What were the weak and beggarly elements? The Law. It was weak and beggarly. Alright, let’s just turn the page while we’re in Galatians and go to chapter 5 verse 1. Don’t go back under the Law. Galatians 5:1
yoke of bondage." The Law was just like a yoke around an oxen’s neck. Why put your believers under a yoke like oxen pulling a plow, that’s what the Law did. No, we’re talking about Gentile believers. What’s Peter admitting? The Law never helped them. The Law was not a successful thing for the Nation of Israel. All in this concept that the Law can do nothing except put us in bondage. Galatians 4:1-3
Let’s come back to Hebrews once again, to verse 8. Since the Law was full of faults. Hebrews 8:8a
Hebrews 8:8b
"…Behold the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:" Now whenever you see God saying "I will"whether it’s back in Abrahamic Covenant or any other time, what is it? Speaking again of Moses and Aaron and the Tabernacle and so forth in the wilderness. And then verse 10.
Hebrews 8:10
Now let’s go all the way back to where we had the promise of that new covenant. Jeremiah 31:31
"Behold, the days come, (here’s the prophecy) I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah." Now this is the covenant in verse 34.
Jeremiah 31:34
