• 0:14
  God who reigns on high. Father, we love you, Jesus.

  Holy Spirit, come fill Holy Spirit, teach.

  Holy Spirit, give us discernment.

  God Almighty, we love you. We love everything about you.

  We love the way you move. God, we love the way you speak.
• 0:36
  Lord, we love the way you save to the utmost.
• 0:39
  God, you do things that are beyond our comprehension and
• 0:43
  intellect level. God, beyond all of the
• 0:46
  collective IQ of all of the generations before that will
• 0:52
  come after us. God, there is nothing that has
• 0:56
  ever been put together that is more intelligent than you.
• 1:00
  You are the intelligent creator. God, we worship you in spirit
• 1:06
  and truth. You are an all consuming fire.
• 1:09
  God, we thank you for these eternal words that never return
• 1:13
  void. God, we're swimming in the
• 1:15
  Mariana Trench. God, we have ascended into the
• 1:19
  black hole. God, there is so much Father,
• 1:23
  that you want to reveal to us, Lord, help or make us malleable
• 1:30
  and supple. God, make us soft.
• 1:32
  Lord, make us those that are able to take in the rain.
• 1:36
  God, I pray that the sun shines on the fertile soil.
• 1:40
  God, Produce a crop, produce fruit, produce a harvest.
• 1:44
  God abundantly, Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, come Lord,
• 1:49
  and show up and show off and show out God.
• 1:53
  Knock the pictures off the wall. Lord, I pray for fresh wind and
• 1:57
  fresh fire got upon this house. Lord, I pray for deeper
• 2:03
  understanding and higher thoughts, Lord, than what we
• 2:08
  have ever experienced. Lord, continue to wreck and

  ravish us with your presence and with your love.

  Lord, we love you. God, we love you so much.

  God, thank you for the miracles that break out.
• 2:37
  God, thank you for life. Thank you God for assurance.
• 2:42
  Thank you God, for the master plan of prophecy of what you're
• 2:46
  doing all around us. Lord, make us more like Christ.
• 2:55
  Help us to get off of the sidelines.
• 2:58
  Help us to love you more. Help us to hear your voice
• 3:03
  clearly. Father, we love you.
• 3:11
  We thank you, God, for police, military, for school teachers,
• 3:16
  God, and righteous judges. We thank you, Father, for
• 3:21
  putting righteous leaders in place.
• 3:24
  God, we thank you, Father, for the family unit.
• 3:28
  God, we thank you, Lord, that you're moving everything in
• 3:33
  accordance to your timeline. We pray for the peace of
• 3:36
  Jerusalem, God, we pray for the nation Israel.
• 3:39
  Lord, strengthen them for this time or fight their battles for
• 3:46
  them. Lord, I pray God that you will
• 3:52
  get the final say and everything will point back to your glory.
• 3:57
  God and Yeshua, ha Messiah, El Elyon, El Shaddai, Jehovah
• 4:08
  Rapha, Jehovah Nisi, Jehovah Jireh Elroy ABBA, we love you.
• 4:24
  Come, Lord, teach us your paths and your ways, Your eternal
• 4:29
  words. The Word became flesh.
• 4:31
  Let us eat upon your flesh or let us drink your blood, Father,
• 4:39
  and remember you God Almighty, who came in the flesh and
• 4:46
  offered your body as a sacrifice for us.
• 4:49
  We love you God, in Jesus Christ, holy and precious name,
• 4:53
  I pray, Amen. Let's start in verse one.
• 5:01
  Then truly, the first covenant had also ordinances of divine
• 5:06
  service and a worldly sanctuary. What's he talking about here?
• 5:12
  The writer of Hebrews wants us to know that everything that was
• 5:19
  commanded all the way back in the Old Testament was just a
• 5:23
  prototype. It was a picture.
• 5:25
  It was type and shadow of the reality of heaven and what is to
• 5:31
  come. And so here the writer of
• 5:34
  Hebrews is harkening the mind back to whenever God gave Moses
• 5:42
  all of the measurements and all of the requirements for His
• 5:48
  Shekinah glory to dwell in the holiest of holy places.
• 5:53
  There was a veil between the two that we know that Jesus Christ
• 5:58
  later on in Herod's augmented temple ripped from the top to
• 6:04
  the bottom to give us access into it, which is the point of
• 6:08
  all of this is the writer of Hebrews wants us to understand
• 6:13
  the higher order, the higher level of everything that was
• 6:17
  commanded and required in the Old Testament pointed towards
• 6:21
  the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross as he
• 6:26
  ascended into heaven. Friends and made us at one with
• 6:32
  God and we can come in boldly into God's presence because of
• 6:37
  the blood of Jesus Christ. We're going to be munching.
• 6:42
  We're going to be devouring meat here.
• 6:45
  Friends. This could you could spend an
• 6:48
  entire lifetime studying the book of Hebrews and all of the
• 6:55
  wonderful tapestry that is set forth before us.
• 7:00
  This is dining sumptuously. We have weaned ourselves off of
• 7:07
  the milk, and now we are able to munch upon the meat that God has
• 7:14
  for us. Verse 2 For there was a
• 7:16
  Tabernacle made, the first, wherein was the Candlestick and
• 7:21
  the table, the showbread which is called the sanctuary, all
• 7:25
  pointing towards Jesus Christ. 3 And after the second veil, the
• 7:29
  Tabernacle, which is called the holiest of all, that was the
• 7:33
  holy of holy places where the priest had to do everything just
• 7:38
  right to go in once a year to offer an atonement for all of
• 7:43
  the sins of Israel. And if he didn't do everything
• 7:47
  just right, he would die in the presence.
• 7:51
  He would be completely overcome with the presence of God
• 7:56
  Almighty, because God is an all consuming fire.
• 8:00
  And you can see that we have a privilege to come boldly into
• 8:07
  this place because of what Jesus Christ did.
• 8:10
  And the priest had to go year after year after year after year
• 8:15
  into the holiest of holy places. It was not finished, But as
• 8:20
  Christ came and offered His body once and for all, we can come
• 8:26
  boldly. Now.
• 8:27
  Verse 3 talks about the holiest of holy, verse 4, which had the
• 8:33
  golden censor and the ark of the covenant overlaid round and
• 8:38
  about gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna and
• 8:42
  Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant.
• 8:46
  So this golden pot of manna, this is our word of God.
• 8:52
  This is the Bible. This is the word, friends, the
• 8:56
  bread of life, Aaron's rod that budded.
• 8:59
  This was death that sprang forth, life, the resurrection of
• 9:04
  Christ in that rod, and then the tables of the covenant.
• 9:08
  This was Jesus Christ fulfilling the law. 5 And over it the
• 9:13
  cherubims of glory, shadowing the mercy seat, of which we
• 9:17
  cannot now speak particularly the writer of Hebrews just
• 9:21
  expects for these new converts into Christianity from the
• 9:29
  Jewish faith. He expects for them to know all
• 9:32
  of this stuff, friends. And if you've been following
• 9:36
  along for any amount of time, this should not be new to you,
• 9:39
  This Bema seat with the cherubim.
• 9:42
  This is what was commanded of Moses, so that the Shekinah
• 9:48
  glory of God would dwell among them.
• 9:51
  Friends 6 Now when these things were thus ordained, the priest
• 9:56
  when always into the first Tabernacle, accomplishing the
• 10:00
  service of God. So this was a daily thing, where
• 10:03
  the priest would go in and minister unto God, and only once
• 10:10
  a year were they allowed to go into the holiest of holy places,
• 10:14
  7 but into the second with the high Priest alone once every
• 10:19
  year, not without blood, for he offered for himself and for the
• 10:24
  errors of the people. So here we can see why Jesus
• 10:28
  Christ is our High Priest is because he only had to do it
• 10:33
  once and once for all. Here you can see the High Priest
• 10:39
  in the order of Aaron. It was a yearly thing to go into
• 10:43
  the holy so holy places and make atonement to make us at one with
• 10:48
  God. This Yom Kippur.
• 10:50
  You can see it friends and it is a type and a shadow of Christ
• 10:56
  coming and His finished work. And that is why in AD 70 God
• 11:01
  just completely did away with the temple service and the
• 11:04
  sacrifices of it all is because He had already sent His Son.
• 11:09
  And if they would not believe that Jesus Christ was the
• 11:13
  Messiah, their long-awaited Christ, then God would just shut
• 11:17
  down the entire temple service in AD 70, 8 the Holy Ghost.
• 11:25
  This signifying that the way into the holiest of all was not
• 11:30
  yet made manifest while as the first Tabernacle was yet
• 11:35
  standing. So here we can see that Jesus
• 11:38
  Christ was going to come on the scene and fulfill all the
• 11:42
  requirements that God had told Moses to do for His glory, to
• 11:47
  dwell amongst men in the holiest of holy places.
• 11:51
  Now we are the temple of God, the triune nature of God, our
• 11:58
  soul and our spirit and our body.
• 12:00
  These three and one, friends, the outer court, the inner
• 12:03
  court, the holiest of holy places, inside of you and inside
• 12:08
  of me. Jesus Christ dwelling with us.
• 12:11
  Friends, how amazing is that? There's no more need for the
• 12:16
  blood of goats and bulls. It could not cleanse us
• 12:20
  completely like the blood of Jesus Christ did and has and can
• 12:25
  be for you if you will accept it today. 9 Which was a figure for
• 12:32
  the time then present, and which were offered both gifts and
• 12:36
  sacrifices that could not make him that did the service perfect
• 12:41
  as pertaining to the conscience. So that is the thing, They could
• 12:44
  have this day of atonement, they could have their unknown sins
• 12:50
  forgiven, but as soon as the next day came, they were
• 12:55
  committing sins again, even if they were unknowing sins.
• 12:58
  So it was need for another year to go by for them to go back
• 13:02
  into the holiest of holy places and sprinkle more blood upon the
• 13:07
  Bema seat for the forgiveness so they can be at one with God.
• 13:12
  And it was over and over and over and over until Christ came.
• 13:16
  But everything in the Old Testament pointed towards
• 13:19
  Christ. And now, as we're on the other
• 13:23
  side of it, everything points back to Jesus Christ.
• 13:28
  Friends, that is the beauty of it all.
• 13:31
  It's all centered around Jesus. Jesus at the center of it all.
• 13:37
  And it's not until you make Jesus Christ the center of your
• 13:41
  life will you find the peace with God and the peace within
• 13:47
  your own mind and your conscience being cleaned and
• 13:50
  clear because of all your sins and transgressions being
• 13:55
  completely blotted out and forgiven, friends.
• 13:58
  And we desperately need that. And we try everything in the
• 14:02
  whole world, and we come up short until we put Jesus at the
• 14:07
  center of it all. 10 which stood only in meats and drinks and
• 14:19
  diverse washings and carnal ordinances imposed on them until
• 14:24
  the time of reformation. When Jesus Christ came, He
• 14:29
  reformed everything. That is why the temple in 8070
• 14:33
  was shut down and destroyed, because Jesus reformed every
• 14:38
  single ordinance that was required prior to His coming.
• 14:42
  When His blood was shed on Calvary, Friends, it covered us
• 14:47
  completely, totally, utterly. Friends, there is no blemish,
• 14:52
  there is no sin that God Almighty is going to count
• 14:56
  against you. St.
• 14:58
  What an amazing thought that should make you leap for joy.
• 15:02
  You should be the most excited person in the room because you
• 15:06
  know that you know that you know that you know you're going to
• 15:09
  spend eternity with God Almighty forever and ever because of what
• 15:14
  Jesus Christ did and is not based upon your performance.
• 15:19
  It's not based upon your behavior.
• 15:22
  It's not based upon your merit. It's not based upon how well you
• 15:27
  can obey all of the rules of the Bible, friends.
• 15:31
  It's all based upon what Jesus Christ did for us.
• 15:35
  And it's not until we are covered in the blood of Jesus
• 15:38
  Christ completely and totally and utterly nothing held back,
• 15:43
  friends, that we experience the peace of God, because we can
• 15:48
  know that if we were to die today, we would enter into
• 15:53
  heaven with him because of what Jesus did. 11 But Christ being
• 16:00
  come, a high priest of good things to come by a greater and
• 16:04
  more perfect Tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say,
• 16:09
  not of this building. So you can see that we are the
• 16:13
  temple of God. We house the Holy Spirit inside
• 16:17
  of us. How amazing is that?
• 16:21
  And one day we will go, and we will be in the city of God and
• 16:27
  the New Jerusalem, and there will be no need for a temple,
• 16:31
  because Jesus Christ is there and because God is there with
• 16:36
  us, dwelling among us. Friends. 12 Neither by the blood
• 16:43
  of goats and calves, but by his own blood.
• 16:46
  He entered in once into the holy place, Having obtained eternal
• 16:50
  redemption for us. Jesus Christ ripped the veil
• 16:55
  from top to bottom, and now we can come boldly into the throne
• 16:59
  room of grace, and we can know that.
• 17:01
  We know that God hears our prayers and that he answers
• 17:05
  them, and that Jesus is interceding on our behalf
• 17:08
  because of what he did as he came as a little baby.
• 17:11
  And he lived a perfect, sinless life.
• 17:14
  And he died a criminal's death on the cross.
• 17:16
  And he resurrected on the third day, and he ascended to the
• 17:20
  right hand of God, and he sat down because of the finished
• 17:24
  work, friends. 13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the
• 17:32
  ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctified to the
• 17:37
  purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of
• 17:42
  Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without
• 17:46
  spot to God, purge your conscience from the dead works
• 17:50
  to serve the living God. So that is what you need to
• 17:54
  understand is that if God was pleased with the ashes of a red
• 18:01
  heifer which signified the blood of Jesus, if He was pleased to
• 18:07
  atone for their sins temporarily until the next year, how much
• 18:13
  more is God pleased with the perfect, sinless, innocent blood
• 18:19
  of His only begotten Son? Once and for all, friends, if we
• 18:24
  will come underneath the blood of Jesus Christ, all the wrath
• 18:28
  of God is satisfied at the cross.
• 18:31
  Friends, it was poured out on Christ and we were exchanged our
• 18:36
  sinfulness for His righteousness.
• 18:39
  How amazing is our God? And you can see that all the
• 18:52
  works are dead. We're not saved by works,
• 18:55
  friends. We are saved by grace through
• 19:00
  faith. We can serve a living God who
• 19:05
  dwells in unapproachable light rains, and we can come and have
• 19:10
  a relationship with Him through His Son Jesus Christ. 15 And for
• 19:14
  this, 'cause he is the mediator of the New Testament, that by
• 19:19
  means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions
• 19:24
  that were under the First Testament, they which are called
• 19:28
  might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
• 19:32
  So you can see that Jesus Christ changed everything as he came
• 19:37
  upon the scene. He fulfilled all of the law and
• 19:42
  every single bit of it from Genesis to Malachi pointed to
• 19:47
  Christ. And now we look back at the
• 19:51
  beautiful work that Christ did as He lived the life that He
• 19:55
  did, and He died the death that He did, and He resurrected.
• 19:59
  And now the same power that resurrected him is available to
• 20:03
  us. Friends, if you will place your
• 20:06
  full faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, you can see this New
• 20:10
  Testament that Jesus Christ gave to us and we hold it in our
• 20:16
  hands and it is alive and active, friends.
• 20:19
  And it's sharper than any 2 edged sword.
• 20:21
  And it is profitable to save friends.
• 20:24
  Nothing added and nothing subtracted.
• 20:28
  So he's going to talk about a will here, and he's going to
• 20:31
  talk about the executor of a will and how the will is only in
• 20:37
  effect if the executor dies while the executor of a will is
• 20:43
  living, then the will has no effect.
• 20:47
  That is what this little section that we're about to get into.
• 20:51
  For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the
• 20:56
  death of the testator. So you can see here that for
• 21:01
  where the will is, there must also of necessity be the death
• 21:06
  of the executor of that will. And 17 For a testament is of
• 21:12
  force after men are dead, otherwise it is of no strength
• 21:16
  at all while the testator lives. So he's saying for a will that
• 21:22
  is made out is of force after men are dead, otherwise it is of
• 21:29
  no strength at all, while the executor of that will is still
• 21:34
  living. 18 Whereupon neither. The first testament was
• 21:39
  dedicated without blood. So that was the blood of the red
• 21:44
  heifer, that was the blood of the bulls and the goats friends
• 21:49
  shed for the atonement of sins. And now he's saying that this
• 21:53
  second one is also testified by blood, but it is a more perfect
• 21:59
  blood. It's the blood of his Son Jesus
• 22:02
  Christ. 19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the
• 22:09
  people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and
• 22:12
  goats with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled
• 22:17
  both the book and all the people, Jesus Christ.
• 22:21
  Friends, this is types and shadow of what Jesus was going
• 22:25
  to do with his death and his burial, his resurrection and
• 22:30
  ascension unto God. You can see that Moses was given
• 22:34
  just the shadow of what is to come.
• 22:37
  Now we live as the sun goes up higher and higher into the sky.
• 22:42
  We live on the other side of the shadow.
• 22:45
  Now we stand in the shadow of the finished work as Moses was
• 22:49
  standing in the shadow of the work that was still to come.
• 22:53
  What an amazing thought, this scarlet wool signifying Christ,
• 23:00
  the hyssop which is death, and the book sprinkled with the
• 23:04
  blood of Jesus Christ. Friends, you can see that He
• 23:08
  sealed the New Testament with his blood, praise God, 20
• 23:13
  saying, This is the blood of the testament which God has enjoined
• 23:17
  unto you. 21 Moreover, he sprinkled with blood both the
• 23:21
  Tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry. 22 And almost
• 23:26
  all things are by the law purged with blood, and without the
• 23:29
  shedding of blood. There is no remission, friends.
• 23:34
  There's no remission for sins unless there is the shedding of
• 23:37
  blood. That is how God instituted the
• 23:41
  covering of all the sins, and that is how we can be made right
• 23:45
  with Him. Friends, and it points towards
• 23:48
  life. It is always a beautiful
• 23:52
  conjecture between the death of one for the life of another.
• 23:57
  Jesus died so that you and I could live, friends, forever in
• 24:02
  the presence of God Almighty. 23 It was therefore necessary that
• 24:10
  the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with
• 24:15
  these, but the heavenly things themselves with better
• 24:18
  sacrifices than these. Jesus Christ, literal body, He
• 24:25
  was all man, He was all God, His literal body going into heaven
• 24:32
  and his literal blood cleansing even the heavens.
• 24:37
  Friends, you can see the first rebellion of Lucifer when pride
• 24:42
  crept in and he was kicked out of his first estate.
• 24:45
  Now you can see Jesus Christ ascending into heaven in a
• 24:49
  literal body and his blood being useful even in heaven.
• 24:55
  What an amazing thought. 24 For Christ is not entered into the
• 25:01
  holy places made with hands which are the figures of the
• 25:04
  true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of
• 25:09
  God, for us, friends, for you, and for me.
• 25:14
  If you will believe in Him, if you will accept him as your Lord
• 25:19
  and your Savior and not look for another, not turn your back on
• 25:24
  him, not become apostate and fall away.
• 25:27
  But if you will truly put your whole faith and your whole life
• 25:31
  in the Lord Jesus Christ, He will make intercession for you
• 25:36
  and tell the Lord God Almighty that you are his friends.
• 25:41
  This one is mine. You can see it happening as He
• 25:44
  sits at the right hand of God. You can see he entered into
• 25:49
  God's presence, which is truly heaven itself, is in God's
• 25:54
  presence, and now he is in the presence of God, and we are
• 26:01
  seated with him in heavenly places. 25 Nor yet that he
• 26:06
  should offer himself often, as the high priest entered into the
• 26:09
  holy place every year with the blood of others. 26 For then
• 26:13
  must he often have suffered since the foundation of the
• 26:17
  world, but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to
• 26:23
  put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
• 26:27
  Once and for all Christ died and it is enough to save to the
• 26:33
  utmost. It is finished to Telesty paid
• 26:37
  in full. If you will come to Him, that
• 26:41
  will be your inheritance. And we are awaiting a time, the
• 26:46
  end of the age, friends, where He will put the millennial
• 26:51
  temple in place with the reign of Jesus Christ on planet earth,
• 26:58
  and then after that, the destruction with fire and
• 27:02
  brimstone, and then New Jerusalem, the city of God,
• 27:06
  forever and ever. And he will dwell among men. 27
• 27:16
  And as it is appointed unto men, wants to die.
• 27:20
  But after this, the judgment statistics tell us that 10 out
• 27:25
  of 10 people die, and fear is the number one death or death is
• 27:33
  the number one fear of mankind. It's what you need to
• 27:37
  understand. And we pay billions and billions
• 27:41
  and billions of dollars trying to escape death.
• 27:44
  But it doesn't work that way. You need to understand that
• 27:49
  every single one of us has an appointment with death and there
• 27:54
  could be a rapture of the church and caught up into the air to
• 28:00
  meet him in the same way that Elijah and in the same way that
• 28:07
  Enoch did, friends. But that is the exception to the
• 28:14
  rule. And there were some who had to
• 28:17
  die twice, like our good friend Lazarus.
• 28:22
  But by and large, for the vast majority of every single human
• 28:27
  being on planet earth, there is an appointment for death.
• 28:31
  And once you breathe your last breath, your fate is sealed for
• 28:36
  all of eternity. Today is the day of salvation.
• 28:39
  His mercies are new every day. Do not squander today, friends.
• 28:45
  Repent. Turn from sin.
• 28:48
  Turn away from all the disgusting things that are
• 28:52
  entangling you and keeping you from living the abundant life
• 28:57
  that God has for you. That is what you need to
• 29:00
  understand. If you were to die today without
• 29:04
  being covered in the blood of Jesus Christ, you would be
• 29:07
  eternally separated from God for all of eternity, forever and
• 29:12
  ever and ever and ever. 10,000 years is just a drop in the
• 29:18
  bucket friends, of how long eternity is.
• 29:21
  It never ends. It is dying a billion deaths
• 29:25
  over and never being able to die.
• 29:28
  Friends. It is nowhere that anybody would
• 29:30
  ever want to go if they could truly understand the weeping and
• 29:34
  the gnashing of teeth where the worm never dies and the fire
• 29:38
  never goes out. We should pray that no one that
• 29:41
  we know ever has to go to this place, that we would all come to
• 29:48
  the saving knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ before we breathe
• 29:52
  our last. We'll end on 28.
• 29:57
  So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many, and unto
• 30:03
  them that look for him. He shall appear the second time
• 30:07
  without sin unto salvation. When He comes the second time,
• 30:12
  friends, it is in judgment. He's not coming as a little
• 30:16
  baby. He's not coming meek and mild.
• 30:18
  He's coming as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, faithful
• 30:24
  and true. He is coming, friends, a second
• 30:28
  time to make every wrong thing right and to put his enemies
• 30:34
  under His feet as a footstool. What an amazing thought.
• 30:39
  Do not take for granted that we live in the period of grace,
• 30:45
  friends. This is the day of grace the
• 30:47
  church age friends and we abuse it and it is to our own
• 30:54
  detriment. Do not abuse grace today.
• 30:57
  Fall more madly in love with Christ Jesus and you will be
• 31:03
  better for it. I hope you've been blessed by
• 31:05
  this amazing chapter in God's Word.
• 31:09
  I know I sure have. I'm praying for every single one
• 31:16
  of you. I love you.
• 31:18
  We'll see you back here tomorrow.
• 31:20
  God bless you.
