AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 8:13 When God speaks of "A new covenant," He makes the first one obsolete. And whatever is becoming obsolete (out of use, annulled) and growing old is ready to disappear. |
Bible Question: Does this verse say that the New Covenant has not yet started? |
Bible Answer: No, Hebrews 8:13 does not say that the New Covenant has not yet started. What it says is: "He has made the first [covenant] obsolete." It says: "what is obsolete (out of use and annulled because of age) is ripe for disappearance and to be dispensed with altogether." A careful reading of the book of Hebrews will show that the Mosaic convenant is (present tense) defunct. |
