Hebrews 8 ~ Something to offer

Papyrus 46 has several pages of Hebrews 8, this photo is amazing papyrus that is two generations from the ministry of Jesus. The early labeling (before Woke ideas) was Papyrus 46 is from the 90 A.D., First Century.  The new complaint is verb usage. Not many manuscripts are written in Greek from the area of Judah.  Fragments are more pervasive. Papyrus 46 is incredibly intact.  And still labeled as First Century.  Not as people say 2nd Century A.D. sometimes today.

For 300 years, Roman Emperors put varying effort into Scripture obliteration. 

Hebrews 8

Now the main point of what we are saying is this: 

We do have such a High Priest, 

Who sat down at the Right Hand of the Throne of the Majesty in Heaven, 2 and 

Who serves in the Sanctuary, the True Tabernacle set up by the Lord, 

not by a mere human being!

3 Every High Priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and so it was necessary for this One also to have something to offer.

4 If He were on earth, He would not be a priest, for there are already priests who offer the gifts prescribed by the law. 5 They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in Heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”

Shiloh is the first resting place

the traveling Tent of Worship

during the coming time of Moses.

The Ark of the Covenant was here

until the Temple was built in Jerusalem.

The Ark of the Covenant

is

The Mercy Seat of God

2,000 Centuries and counting

But in fact the Ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the Covenant of which He is Mediator is Superior to the old one, since the 

New Covenant is established on better promises.

7 For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another. 8 But God found fault with the people and said:

“The days are coming, 

Declares the Lord,

when I will make a New Covenant

with the people of Israel

and 

with the people of Judah.

9 It will not be like the covenant

I made with their ancestors

when I took them by the hand

to lead them out of Egypt,

because 

they did not remain faithful to My Covenant,

and 

I turned away from them,

Declares the Lord.

This is the Covenant I will establish with the people of Israel

after that time, 

Declares the Lord.

I will put My Laws 

in their minds

and 

write them on their hearts.

I will be their God,

and 

they will be My People.

11 No longer will they teach their neighbor,

or say to one another, 

‘Know the Lord,’

because 

they will all know Me,

from the least of them to the greatest.

12 For I will forgive their wickedness

and 

will remember their sins no more.”

13 By calling this covenant “New,” He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

Hebrews 3:5-15

Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God's house as a Son. And we are His House, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.

7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says,

“Today, if you hear His Voice,

8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,

    on the day of testing in the wilderness,

9 where your fathers put me to the test

    and saw my works for forty years.

10 Therefore I was provoked with that generation,

and said, ‘They always go astray in their heart;

    they have not known my ways.’

11 As I swore in my wrath,

    ‘They shall not enter my rest.’”

12 Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God. 

13 But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 

14 For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end. 

15 As it is said,

“Today, if you hear His Voice,

do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

Abba, Father,

Dwell in me,

Dwell in us,

Dwell in those we Love,

Help us to seek You first.

Peace and the Joy God gives us.

And we will finish well, 

in Jesus Christ. 

Please, Father,

Bless Edward with healthy retinas

without additional surgery

and our family with health

Your Will and Peace

as the little baby has colic fairly intensely.

Help us seek and find 

and bring,

become,

 more Heaven

to this earth.
