This they shall have at God's hand, they shall lie down in sorrow; their destruction shall come from his glorious powerful presence; when they make their woeful bed in hell, they will find that God is there, and his presence will be their greatest terror and torment. Christ, therefore, goes into heaven, and will come again apart from sin. And they need not fear to cease being a Jew by becoming a Christian.

Hey, you're not calling the shots! Not of course that one denies that He has His own proper place, for all is perfect as to each person of the Trinity and all else, but never to this end.

In the Revised Standard Version, which is close to the original Hebrew, the passage runs: "Sacrifice and offering thou dost not desire; Burnt-offering and sin-offering thou hast not required. "The worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins." "Into the second [goes] the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: the Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way of the holies was not yet made manifest, while as yet the first tabernacle was standing: which is a figure for the present time according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices that could not, as pertaining to the conscience, make him that did the religious service perfect; which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation."

The text explains wherein consists the perpetual efficacy of Christ's sacrifice, and the reason why it needs no repetition while the world lasts. Nor does it seem so natural for any as the great apostle to inform them of his child and fellow-labourer: "Know that the brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come pretty soon, I will see you. Thus distinctly have we set before us the general doctrine of the chapter, that Christ has suffered but once, and has been offered but once; that the offering cannot be severed from the suffering. True belief is shown by the way in which one lives. Even under the old covenant rebellion met with death. "Every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, for ever sat down on the right hand of God."

Now the apostle, having given this general account of the way by which we have access to God, enters further into the particulars of it, Hebrews 10:20; Hebrews 10:20. "This is the covenant," says he, "that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

But the bodies of those beasts were burnt without the camp: my place, so far as I in the body am concerned, is one of shame and suffering in this world. So then I said: 'So then I come--in the roll of the book it is written of me--to do, O God, your will."' Hebrews 10:19-36 Dr. Grant C. Richison The most important principle of interpretation is the context. The discovery broke him and he died. The athlete will make his great effort because the goal beckons him on. He begins by saying three things about Jesus. For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. In all the covenants of scripture the man that makes it has never to die for any such end. He does not require to add more to the person and facts of Christ than the Old Testament furnishes, to prove the certainty of Christianity and all its characteristic truths with which he occupies himself in this epistle. But once I had made the sin and trespass offerings, then I could bring the burnt offerings.You notice the burnt offering here, and then the sin offerings. Here, too, he begins to introduce what a. priest does, that is, the exercise of his functions. Hence, therefore, he now introduces us "to the spirits of just men made perfect." Finally, as is his habit, the writer to the Hebrews clinches his argument with a quotation from scripture. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me) to do, thy will, O God." God can strengthen his suffering people with all might in the inner man, to all patience and long-suffering, and that with joyfulness, Colossians 1:11. Its members must be loyal or nothing. Of how much worse punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant [this new covenant], wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite to the Spirit of grace? ], "The safeguard against degeneration, isolation, and consequent failure is to make progress in the Christian life, and to proceed from point to point from an elementary to the richest, fullest, deepest experience." His life is like a panelled tapestry; to look at one panel is to see only a little bit of the story. It is that which infinitely exceeds the deliverance out of Egypt, or any ceremonial atonement ever wrought by a high priest for Israel. Then follows the heavenly glory, to which grace naturally leads; then the natural inhabitants of the heavenly land, namely, the angels "and to myriads of angels, the general assembly." For there is seen not only the proof that the Messiah is the One whom God pronounced by an oath "a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec," but the glorious seat He has taken at the right-hand of God is now worked into this magnificent pleading. He beholds them with great displeasure; they are an offence to him. The apostle tells us the way and means by which Christians enjoy such privileges, and, in general, declares it to be by the blood of Jesus, by the merit of that blood which he offered up to God as an atoning sacrifice: he has purchased for all who believe in him free access to God in the ordinances of his grace here and in the kingdom of his glory. This is natural and pleasant to the flesh, no doubt; but it is precisely what opposes the whole object of God in Christianity, since Christ went on high till He come again, and therefore the path of faith to which the children of God are called. He taketh away the first, that he might establish the second ( Hebrews 10:8-9 ). "Conscience of sins" means a dread of God's judging one because of his sins.

This means that Jesus not only shows us the way to God but also when we get there introduces us to his very presence. We have the means prescribed for preventing our apostasy, and promoting our fidelity and perseverance, Hebrews 10:24; Hebrews 10:25, c. He mentions several as, 1.
