07/05 ~ From New Testament Letters

   (In the Order Believed Written)

1 - What we are saying is this, we have a high priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the majesty on high, 2 a minister in the holy place, in the true tent that the LORD set up, and not man. 3 For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices. And so it’s necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. 4 Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law. 5 They serve a copy and shadow, a replica of the real thing. For when Moses was about to erect the tent, he was instructed by God, saying, “See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain.”

     6 Now the new ministry (of Jesus) and the new agreement {between us and God - the faith of Jesus} is more excellent than the old, since it’s enacted on better promises. 7 For if the first covenant (agreement) had hit the mark being sufficient to make one perfect, it would not have been necessary for a second agreement/contract. {The first is society preservative. Preparation for Messiah. And still Truth today.. yet the Lord said (for example) it’s not only good enough, to not murder {lol} but don’t despise our fellow person and neighbor.}

     8 For he finds fault with them when he says, “Look, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 9 not like the one I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand, and brought them out of the land of Egypt. (And 400 years of slavery.) For they didn’t honor my covenant, and so I showed to them no concern, says the LORD. 10 For this is the covenant/agreement I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD, I will plant {to remain} my laws into their minds, and write them upon their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.” {Ultimately, all humanity as Israel. Believers are “grafted into” Israel, and are now “part of the commonwealth of Israel” like one would graft a branch into a big old olive tree.}
