Not Without Blood

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 15, 2019

The ratification of the old covenant did not take place without blood. But it took the blood of Christ to bear away our sins, once and forever!

NOT WITHOUT BLOOD. Hebrews 9:15-28. In continuing to compare and contrast the old covenant and the new, we have seen how the high priest would enter the ‘Holiest of All’ (Hebrews 9:3), alone, once a year (on the Day of Atonement) ‘not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the ...read more

Free From The Law Covenant To Covenant

Contributed by John Stackhouse on Apr 26, 2016

explanation of why we don't adhere to the Levitical laws or the sacrifices. Paul teaches that Gentiles should not enslave themselves to the old Jewish Law.

During our Bible study in Leviticus, we have been studying the laws that God gave to the Israelites as a result of the Mosaic Covenant that He made with them. When we read these laws, it is very apparent that we no longer keep many of them, but how do we know what to keep and what not to keep? If ...read more

The Future Salvation Of Israel Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Aug 6, 2012

The restoration of Israel has always been part of God's plan. For the word of God's promise must be fulfilled. The new covenant will not be complete until it fully embraces the people of the old covenant.

ROMANS 11: 25-32 THE FUTURE SALVATION OF ISRAEL [Isaiah 60] The crowning outcome of the discussion in chapters 9-11 is "THE FUTURE SALVATION OF ISRAEL." The culminating point is that God has promised to save Israel. For the same mercy that has overtaken the Gentiles who were once disobedient ...read more

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 4, 2019

A more excellent Ministry based on a better Covenant founded on better promises.

OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW. Hebrews 8:1-13. This is the “sum” of all that the writer has been saying so far: “We have such a high priest…” (Hebrews 8:1a). Jesus, our high priest, is ‘holy, innocent, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens’ (cf. Hebrews 7:26). He is ...read more

A Civil Society (Deuteronomy 24)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Jan 9, 2025

Was Israel under the old covenant perhaps in many ways a more civil society than ours? Let's look at Deuteronomy 24.

How do our modern societies compare to ancient Israel? Let’s look at divorce, military conscription, loans, wages, kidnapping, foreigners and the poor. Which is actually a more civil society? Let’s review Deuteronomy 24. What were the rules about divorce and remarriage? When a man takes a wife ...read more

The Two Mountains Series

Contributed by Frank Lay on Sep 23, 2004

Once again in this text, we find the superiority of the New Covenant over the Old Covenant. The writer makes a distinction between two great mountains in the Bible, Mt. Sinai and Mt. Zion.

THE TWO MOUNTAINS Heb 12:18-24 The key thought of the book of Hebrews is seen in the word “better.” Throughout this book, we have sought to emphasize the superiority of Jesus Christ over the Old Covenant. Jesus is better than the prophets, than the angels, than Moses and Aaron. The New ...read more
