Bible Question: My question about hebrews is from the chapter 12verse 22,23 cant they be explained |
Bible Answer: These verses are contrasting the old covenant, namely the old testament law given to Israel (vs. 18-21) and the new covenant, namely the spirits of righteous men made perfect by Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant, through the sprinkling of his blood(vs. 22-24) The old covenant was physical and earthly, the new covenant is spiritual and heavenly. Mt. Zion is just another name for heaven as is the heavenly Jerusalem, and the city of our God. This city will one day descend onto a new earth as prophesied in Revelation 21. |
