The title of Hebrews leaves no question Paul
The
Apostle authored
Hebrews. But I wondered why
Paul
left out
his standard
greeting
to brethren
(
"Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord
Jesus
Christ") and modified
the salutation
(token) by his own hand in every
epistle ("The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ
with you all.
Amen.") in his writing To The Hebrews, and as an Hebrew of Hebrews.
It finally dawned on me, as by the Spirit: it's written "To The
Hebrews"
and
Hebrews is like a mini bible itself, having the same general theme and
conclusion as the HOLY BIBLE containing Old and New Testaments; Yet
derived mainly from OT Scriptures (Scripture vs
Script-u-are).
God
"divided" hath both spake/spoken,
created/made all this/that for them/us as if a before/after shew of
time past/last days (BC/AD) with twain of everything for
comparison
and
contrast
of law/grace as
allegories;
Law having had to be "added"
since grace always "is". And since law/grace are
contrary
things which cannot co-exist, not in
peace, the first (old)
part of
such a old/new
shew is
as if grace is the dead testator
for law to be of "force"; then law is the
dead testator
of the second
(new) part for grace to be of life giving "force" to all, as explained
in
Hebrews
9. May the 'force' be with you, and use the 'force' Luke...
have
relevant meaning when we understand adding law to grace makes it "no
more grace", rather than the dead end of grace + law (saved + destroyed
after in Jude 5); Law being the "
ministration
of
death" (2Corinthians 3:7), the "strength" of the death sting of sin
(1Corinthians 15:56), the
root source of sin and death (Romans 5:13; James 1:15), the "strong
man" of
the house
of sin and death.
Having looked at both sides now, as does the comparative teaching
method of Jesus and Paul from Scriptures written as Scripture
-vs- Scripture, and as if comparing good/better things this God
provided
for them/us (yet only for some, not for all), a conclusion of what's
best for
all
when God divided reconciled as one of twain is thereby reasoned from
what's
evident from all the evidence: "Grace with you all. Amen.". And thereby
we all get understanding ("with all thy getting,
get understanding":
Proverbs
4:7) of what grace is, compared to what it's not:
law.
Such explains why(?) "Jesus" first brought "
division", not peace
(Luke
12:51); and there was "division" among the people because of him (John
7:43) before the cross. Since many were mixing grace + law (which do
not mix except to make an oxymoron such as life
+ death), he divided the twain, clarifying such were as two
opposite ways
leading to two opposite ends: destruction (
non existence)
<--> life
(existence); as are BC <--> AD accounted as going opposite
directions. Only after the cross (where law nailed as the
enmity and the curse: "cursed every one
that hangeth on a tree" ... perhaps why it's not wise to get too hung
up on the cross, but go on
through
the cross (
as if
through Jesus-->Christ) to risen and "
seated" with "
Christ" at the
right hand of God "in heaven": "
higher than the
heavens"), do we find
true
peace; Peace with God and "
eternal salvation"
notably both being "through Jesus-->Christ"-->
God-ward.
Before such, and as if "in Adam all die" ...
all therein Moses' law died, and without mercy, for death reigned, came
upon all, till JC abolished a "surely die" lie of law in Genesis 2: 17
(called "
the law
of
commandments" in Ephesians 2:15; The law(lie) being verse 17 of
Genesis 2: 16-vs-17; Such grace + law "commandments" being the
commandments of Jesus, and contrary one to another; His grace
being "above" the law) ... So only after the cross do we
hear: "peace" unto you from the Lord Jesus Christ as a result
of "grace" unto you from God our Father, denoting all are now united
in one body of "Christ" (the end of the law); whose head God (
that God,
"the
God of
all grace",
the living
God of
the living:
the only wise
God).
Time past: the law given by Moses, added to grace;
was great, but a "great terror" (Dt 34:12).
Last days: grace came by JC ...truth (about law), as "greater"
than hypocrisy of grace + law.
Hebrews as much as takes us through a
journey of all time: past, present, future; starting out by
comparing time past with last days as if BC and AD were nothing more
than a before and after shew about "let us make man": (i) "in our
image" (ii) "
after our
likeness", the "
after"
part being some "better"
thing God hath provided for "us" of good and better things for them and
us. And as if comparing great and greater things; Solomon having been a
great(law) king, but God in the flesh coming as if "a greater than
Solomon is here";
Jonas having been a great(law) prophet, but JC coming as "
that
prophet" as if "a
greater than
Jonas is here" (Mt 12: 41,42). For
although the
law of Moses (John 1`:17) was great, by such law Moses was also a
"great terror"-ist
to all Israel (of Jacob-->Israel) by his own admission (Deuteronomy
34:12), and by such a Phantom
Menace as a Holy
Ghost,
unpardonable sin thereof,
unforgiveness
thereof,
fear
thereof, torment thereof, such
Ghostly Law was also a great terror unto Moses, to the point even he
exceedingly feared (Hebrews 12:21)... if you like Ghost stories.
God
[is] a Spirit (not any Ghost); And alive (not Dead);
The God of all grace is the
"living God" of the "living".
Hebrews brings forth from the Scriptures how
the law was imperfect (Hebrews 7 - 10) and a mission impossible,
demanding perfection of all comers but unable to make the comers
thereunto perfect (
Romans
9:31:
Hebrews 10:1).
Law being "both good and evil", is an oxymoronic mixture those of full
age ("
man"
of
babe/child/man) use their senses
to discern and avoid (Hebrews 5); For "both good and evil" ends with "
evil", such as "
evil concupiscence",
via "
another law"
having seven names, which Paul says makes people feel "wretched"
(Romans 7), such as those suffering with wretched PTSD,
Depression, and all
sorts of dis-order, dis-ease, and dis-comfort; law being the dis, for
when law worketh wrath added to grace is sufficient, it makes grace "no
more grace" (Romans 11:6) and Christ of "no effect" (Galatians 5:4).
For the result of such grace(life) +
law(death)
is notably saved + destroyed(
after) in Jude
5; And by "the
curse of the
law": if any try & fail to keep all law all the time, CURSED EVERY
ONE:
Deuteronomy-->Matthew5-->Luke11-->John7-->Romans9:31-->
Galatians3-->James2:10.
Comparing spiritual things(Laws)
with spiritual(Grace):
Law: was a
mission impossible; a schoolmaster witch FAILED every one.
Grace: is a mission possible; it
never leaves any one nor forsakes any one.
Hebrews also brings forth the biblical fact the first of
the
two
covenants
(testaments) was
faulty.
Hence there is the obvious need for a second if perfection
(be perfect) is the stated goal
(Genesis17:1-->Matthew5:48-->Luke6:36-->Hebrews6:1-->Hebrews13:25-->Revelation22:21);
And the law of the first, which is
all vanity and
vexation of Spirit(God), notably had an
expiry date,
waxeth "old", and is now so old it's
"ready to
vanish" (Hebrews 8:13) and "shall vanish": 1Corinthians 13:8. Hebrews
the mini bible also clarifies law was mirrorly a "shadow" (
dark version)
of good
things to come, not the very (true) image of good things to come; A
dark version like "
night
visions" Daniel the OT prophet got from reading
the law, and was
finally told to shut up and seal it till the time of
the end. It also clarifies that God took
no pleasure at all in any
sacrifices
and offerings which were "of
the law":
Ps40:6; 51:16; Hos6:6; Mt9:13; 12:7;Heb 10. For without faith it is
impossible to please God: Heb11; And the law is not of faith: Gal3; And
whatsoever is not of faith is sin: Rom14. So then Law(Forgive) them
after Law imputing Sin & Death unto them is not Grace us and Law is
not of
Higher
God in heaven, nor does it give His Grace any pleasure at all.
Rather Law is what gives His Grace vexation (frustration), as it makes
grace "no more grace" and it makes Christ(the end of the law) of "no
effect": Gal5:4, leaving all with a dead end by law, a surely die lie
we all are one ought to flush as dung
to establish grace
and eternal life thereof for
all.
In speaking of
the will
of God,
by which we are sanctified, it also speaks of: "he taketh away the
first
(law) that he may establish the second
(grace)"
in Hebrews 10. Such is after an explanation of
testators
in Hebrews 9, clarifying a
testament is of no force at all till the testator is dead; But God
cannot die
and JC
could not be holden of death. Yet for the sake of the
shew grace plays the
dead testator of the old testament so law could be of force (all
perish, none live eternally), and law is
then supposed to be dead testator of the new testament so grace may be
of force (none perish, all live eternally). But to establish grace (
only), to be saved
(only) rather than saved and destroyed after, we all need to make law
dead testator of the New Testament so grace may be of force to
all.
Law
is "both good and evil", which ends with "evil", such as "evil
concupiscence";
Not to mention Law is the ministration of condemnation and death to
all, if any law;
And not to mention there is no respect of persons with God; Only such
against God.
So it's imperative we all are one get it: understanding;
Understand Law = extinction.
So, to
"establish" grace, he "taketh away" the law (only what's added can be
taken away), abolished all law (everything written in stone and in ink
is done away: 2Cor 3) by abolishing
the law
(of commandments) in Gen 2:17; Which effectively abolished all law
since
all other laws (such as 10 commandment
s
and 613 torah law
s) were
all "added" and "because of the transgression" (to make it more obvious
there
was already a law added somewhere, for "where no law there is no
transgression": Rom 4:15,
so if the woman first in the transgression there had to be a law,
a transgression: going beyond grace is sufficient to grace + law).
Law: press DELETE to take away the
put off to put away;
Grace: press SAVE
to e-stablish the put on for "eternal" life
In Hebrews 12, when comparing
two mtns as
if comparing
law
vs grace, we
find God & Son on Mt Sion. And in Hebrews 13 we find all
sanctified are perfected, the "perfection" spoken of in Hebrews 6 being
allegorized
conclusion in Hebrews 13:25 as:
"Grace
with you all. Amen.", which is the same (JC the same yesterday,
to day, and for ever)
conclusion we find ends the entire Holy Bible containing Old and New
Testaments:
The GRACE(only)
of our Lord
Jesus Christ WITH YOU ALL. AMEN.
