AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 9:10 For they [the gifts, sacrifices, and ceremonies] deal only with [clean and unclean] food and drink and various ritual washings, [mere] external regulations for the body imposed [to help the worshipers] until the time of reformation [that is, the time of the new order when Christ will establish the reality of what these things foreshadow--a better covenant]. |
Bible Question:
Brethren, This Scripture speaks of a time of 'reformation,' which came through Christ Jesus. What does this word mean, and what implication does it have for us today? In Jesus, charis |
Bible Answer: charis, Verse 11 is the time of reformation. The previous verses spoke of the "insufficiency" of sacrifices and ordinances that shadowed the "sufficiency" of Christ Himself. The book of Hebrews is mainly concerned with the sufficiency of Christ in that many new believes (and some not) were still making trips to the temple for atonement. They were not trusting in the sufficiency of Christ's atonement to put away the condemnation of sin forever. Christ is the reformation (change) of a law only in respect to the levitical law (priesthood), sacrifices and ordinances related to sins. This is not to be confused with the "whole" law, only that "part" of the law specifically related to the end of the levitical priesthood and all associated ordinances and sacrifices. |
