When
Christ came into the World, He said:
'Sacrifice
and Offering you did not desire,
But
a body You Prepared for Me [before the Foundation of the World];
With
Burnt Offerings and Sin Offerings You were not pleased.
Then
I said, 'Here I AM—It is written about Me in the Scroll-
I
HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL, O' GOD.'
First
He said, 'Sacrifices and Offerings, Burnt Offerings and Sin Offerings
YOU
DID NOT DESIRE, NOR WERE YOU PLEASED WITH THEM'
(Although
the Law required them to be made).
Then
He said, 'Here I AM, I have come to do Your Will.'
He
set aside the First to Establish the Second.
And
by that Will, we have been made Holy through the Sacrifice
Of
the Body of Jesus Christ ONCE FOR ALL.
Day
after Day every Priest stands and performs his religious duties;
Again
and Again he offers the same sacrifices,
WHICH
CAN NEVER TAKE AWAY SINS.
Bu
when This Priest had offered
FOR
ALL TIME ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS,
HE
SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD.
Since
that time He waits for His Enemies [spiritual and of flesh]
To
be made His Footstool,
BECAUSE
BY ONE SACRIFICE HE HAS MADE PREFECT FOREVER
Those
who are Being Made Holy.
The
Holy Spirit also Testifies to us about this.
First
He says:
'This
is the Covenant I will make with them
After
that time, says the Lord.
I
will put My Laws in their Hearts,
And
Write them on their minds.' [Jer. 31:33]
Then
He adds:
'Their
Sins and Lawless Acts I will remember No More.'
And
where these have been forgiven,
There
is No Longer any Sacrifice for Sin.
Therefore,
brothers,
Since
we have Confidence to enter The Most Holy Place
By
the blood of Jesus,
By
a New and Living Way opened for us
Through
the Curtain, that is His Body,
And
since we have a Great Priest over the House of God,
LET
US DRAW NEAR TO GOD
WITH
A HEART IN FULL ASSURANCE OF FAITH,
Having
our Hearts sprinkled to Cleanse us from a Guilty Conscience
And
having our bodies Washed with Pure Water.
LET
US HOLD UNSWERVINGLY TO THE HOPE WE PROFESS,
For
He Who PROMISED is Faithful.
And
let us consider how we may Spur one another on
Toward
love and Good Deeds.
LET
US NOT GIVE UP MEETING TOGETHER,
As
some are in the habit of doing,
BUT
LET US ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER--
AND
ALL THE MORE AS YOU SEE THE DAY APPROACHING.
If
we deliberately keep on Sinning
After
we have received the knowledge of the Truth,
NO
SACRIFICE FOR SINS IS LEFT,
But
only a Fearful Expectation of Raging Fire
That
will Consume the Enemies of God.
Anyone
who Rejected the Law of Moses Died without Mercy
On
the Testimony of Two or Three witnesses.
How
much more Severely do you think a man deserves to be Punished
Who
has Trampled the Son of God Underfoot,
Who
has Treated as an Unholy Thing
The
blood of the Covenant that Sanctified him,
And
who has Insulted the Spirit of Grace?
For
we know Him who said,
'It
is Mine to Avenge; I will Repay,' and again,
'THE
LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.'
IT
IS A DREADFUL THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD.
(Hebrews
10:5-31)
We
who Confess Christ Jesus as Lord and Savior,
Who
have been Washed of our Sins in His blood,
Must
as Christ Himself did, Now do the Will of God.
Christ Jesus warned us:
Be
always on the Watch,
And pray that you
will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,
And that you may be
able TO STAND before the Son of Man. (Luke 21:36)
Today,
the World is raging against God, rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in it's present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
