In the volume of the book it is written of me

Heb 10:1 For the (CEREMONIAL) law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

The ceremonial law which was set up to enact the varying necessary ceremonies of sacrifices so that God's people could realize the results of their sinning, was a SHADOW of the sacrifice that would be necessary in order for sins to truly be forgiven. Every year, every day sacrifices were made- the ceremonies enacted- but those ceremonial sacrifices could NOT make the people sacrificing the animals perfect.


Heb 10:2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.
Heb 10:3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
Heb 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

Truth. The entire sacrificial system pointed to the INNOCENT LAMB being sacrificed. Yesterday we studied a bit about Abraham who was put into the situation where he had to offer up his only begotten son- this was a SYMBOLIC act! God WOULD offer up His only begotten Son, but Abraham's hand was stayed. The symbolic gesture was made. We can fully empathize with Abraham as parents. We can fully comprehend that God was requiring FAITH on Abraham's part- and revealing that agony that He- God would have to endure Himself as a Father watching His Son made flesh suffer a horrifying death. Such sacrifice was necessary by the Father- but NOT by us as human's towards our own children. God would NEVER require us to kill our Children in sacrifice- something that was common in the pagan religions. God stayed Abraham's hand and kept him from sacrificing Isaac, but NO HAND stayed those of the men sacrificing the Son of God. Only that PERFECT Sacrifice could truly satisfy the penalty of sinning, of disobeying God's laws- laws that the Son, as God with God before He took on flesh and became God's Son, created. Every single law of God was known to the Son in flesh, and known to be just and good, not to be done away with, not to be set aside, not to be changed.


Heb 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
Heb 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
Heb 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

In the VOLUME of the BOOK it is WRITTEN of ME!

Dan 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Dan 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

Mal 3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
Mal 3:2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

Mal 3:5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.

The entire Bible in truth is all pointing towards our Savior if we can open our hearts and let the Holy Spirit guide our understanding then we can see that the Old Testament is prophetically giving one example after another of the battle between good and evil with good triumphing, this is all symbolic of our Savior, our God triumphing over sin and Satan. Only the blind will refuse to see, the willingly blind who do not want the truth because it interferes with their selfish desires, their sinfully selfish desires.

May God help us to see, to know, to understand, to believe all through HIM. We need to understand the truth of our Savior and His great sacrifice for us and what was truly done away with at His death and what was not done away with.

Please Lord Help Us!
Please Lord give us comprehension through Your Holy Spirit!

All in Your Love, All by Your Grace and Mercy!


Amen.
