LESSON 3 * PART 3 * BOOK 50
Hebrews 8:11 – 9:14

Alright, back to where we left off - we were in Hebrews chapter 9 and again, we’re just trying to show that everything that went before was God ordained and even though it wasn’t perfect from man’s side, it was from God’s. Hebrews 9:6a
That is by God Himself. Now continuing the verse:
Hebrews 9:6b-7a
"… the priests (the priests of Israel, all Levites remember) went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. So daily, the priests would begin with the animal sacrifices out here at the brazen altar; they would stop at the laver of cleansing and wash and wash and wash. Remember the Day of Atonement could not take away Israel’s sin. Matthew 12:38-39
(now you remember, the Jews were always requiring a sign. And His answers are in red if you have a red letter edition) 39. Matthew 12:40
In the heart of the earth." Now I can never emphasize enough that even though He was on earth in the flesh, He never stopped being the Creator God of Genesis 1:1. And of course, this is what Hebrews has been showing; that Christ was totally God in the flesh. Luke 16:19-21
Now verse 22.
Luke 16:22a
Now you want to remember that Abraham is 2,000 years before Christ’s earthly ministry.
"…the rich man also died, and was buried: (but his soul is in Hell) 23. Now the rich man is in the same center of the earth of course, but he is not on the Paradise side, he is on the torment side. And so in Hell, this place of the departed, down here in the center of the earth, as Jesus said in Matthew 12, the rich man is in torment; and Abraham and Lazarus are over here on the Paradise side, all in the center of the earth.
Luke 16:23-28
"And in hell he (the rich man) lift up his eyes, being in torment, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 25. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. Now verse 29.
Luke 16:29
They’ve got the Word of God. Only God would probably narrow it down a little more and say, "they have Paul’s epistles, and Paul salvation message" You remember, what I’m always showing from Peter, Peter says, "that if you would have salvation, you go to the epistles of Paul for according to the wisdom given unto him, and found in I Corinthians 15:1-4 and Romans 10:9-10." Now verse 30.
Luke 16:30-31
"And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. Look at the next verse) 31. "And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets; (now remember this is an Old Testament economy, if they won’t listen to Moses and the prophets) neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead."
What does God know? My, sometimes I guess we wonder, if only God could just sort of manifest Himself in some tremendous way people would believe. Alright so now we can establish that in the Old Testament economy before the Blood of Christ was shed, since animal blood could not take away the sin of even the greatest believer such as Moses and Abraham, they went down into the center of the earth into the Paradise side of Sheol. But when the Blood was shed and the work of the Cross was finished, that now we see as Paul teaches in Ephesians chapter 4, that it all falls in place again so perfectly, and so clearly. in Paradise." that the atoning Blood was now shed and He could take them out and now they could go into the Heavenlies into the presence of God because, because of Christ’s Blood their sins were totally removed."
It was just a covering waiting for the finished work of the Cross. Alright, now let’s read on in Ephesians.
Ephesians 4:8-9
"Wherefore he saith, When he ascended, up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. Then verse 10.
Ephesians 4:10
What is it but that he descended first into the lower parts of the earth, took captive all these Old Testament believers, and took them up to Paradise which is now in heaven and torment of course now is enlarged, according to the Old Testament prophets. The torment side of Sheol now covers the whole area because Paradise is now in glory.
Well, now let’s come back to Hebrews chapter 9 and verse 7, and see if we can make some more sense out of this:
Hebrews 9:7-8
Hebrews 9:9
Animal blood could not do it. If the Cross hadn’t been completed and if the temple was gone, then there would have been nothing. But God made sure that they could keep on with that temple worship, they could still bring their sacrifices. Alright, now then, verse 10 - all of these things of tabernacle worship:
Hebrews 9:10
the time of reformation." Washing. Wash, wash, wash - in water.
Leviticus 8:6
