Subject: Wearing the clothes of the Priests? |
Bible Note: Hi Lionheart, How are you? Thank you for your encouragement (you too, Doc). I'm studying Hebrews from a comparative (rather than a contrasting) perspective and it's making me see things quite differently. Instead of the writer telling these people that the temple system is bad and abolished (because they were from the system and the system had worked and served its purpose)- and the writer never does say this. I'm looking at the time period - they had been a part of the temple, then accepted, then tolerated, but now they are being kicked out unless they renounce Yeshua. The writer is telling them to hang tough, the Temple was good but Yeshua is better; that the sacrifice system they are having to leave behind for Yeshua was good and did its work as it was supposed to do but they still have a better High Priest offering better sacrifices. This is just opening up Hebrews so wonderfully. I don't know if I worded this well or not but seeing it in a good to better view works so much better than in a bad to good view. :-)???? Shalom Cheri |
