Continued from Hebrews It! (Legal Study, Chapter 2:14) Pt. 10b

Concluding Statement of OP 10b;

Philippians 3:7 But everything that was a gain to me, I have considered to be a loss because of Christ. 8 More than that, I also consider everything to be a loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Because of Him I have suffered the loss of all things and consider them filth, so that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own from the law, but one that is through faith in Christ—the righteousness from God based on faith. 10 My goal is to know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 assuming that I will somehow reach the resurrection from among the dead.

Paul is suffering literal threat of death for preaching that God Saves mankind COMPLETELY if only each person will turn to Jesus as the Finisher and Completion of their Faith! Paul has CHANGED HIS MIND that the Law of Stone Sin and Death can save. Paul has relinquished any faith in the works of his human flesh, good or bad as having any baring on his salvation. He did the only thing that he can do to be saved. He Believed that Jesus was THE WAY, THE TRUTH and THE LIFE!​
"Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also Himself likewise took part (Partook) of the same, that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death — that is, the devil

1 Corinthians 15:55 Death, where is your victory? (Satan, did you achieve Victory)​
Death, where is your sting? (Serpent, what is the venom of your snake strike)​
56 Now the sting of death is sin, (The Venom of the Serpent strike is SIN)​
and the power of sin is the law. (The Power behind Satan's ACCUSATIONS is THE LAW)​
57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
Ephesians 2:14 For He is our peace, who made both groups one and tore down the dividing wall of hostility. (parokhet) In His flesh,15 by destroying in his own body the enmity occasioned by the Torah (The Stone Covenant), with its commands set forth in the form of ordinances. He did this in order to create in union with himself from the two groups a single new humanity and thus make shalom, (Peace)
Isaiah 28:18 our covenant with death will be annulled; your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand.​
When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by, you will be beaten down by it.​
2 Corinthians 3:3 It is clear that you are Christ’s letter, produced by us, not written with ink but with the Spirit of the living God—not on stone tablets but on tablets that are hearts of flesh. 4 We have this kind of confidence toward God through Christ. 5 It is not that we are competent in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our competence is from God. 6 He has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit produces life. 7 Now if the ministry of death, chiseled in letters on stones, came with glory, so that the Israelites were not able to look directly at Moses’ face because of the glory from his face—a fading glory— 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness overflows with even more glory. 10 In fact, what had been glorious is not glorious now by comparison because of the glory that surpasses it. 11 For if what was fading away was glorious, what endures will be even more glorious. ........... 13 We are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face so that the Israelites could not stare at the end of what was fading away, 14 but their minds were closed. For to this day, at the reading of the old covenant, the same veil remains; it is not lifted, because it is set aside only in Christ. 15 Even to this day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their hearts, 16 but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.​
Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law (Nomos/Torah) for righteousness to everyone who believes
Romans 4:15 For the law brings wrath, but where there is no law there is no transgression.
Romans 7:10 The very commandment that promised life proved to be death to me.
Hebrews 9:4 having the golden altar of incense and the ark of the covenant covered on all sides with gold, in which was a golden urn holding the manna, and Aaron's staff that budded, and the tablets of the covenant.'
We can now use a portion from another OP that I have written to cinch up Hebrews 2:14 by explaining the purpose of the Azazael Goat that we read about on the day of Atonement.

Leviticus 16
5 He is to take from the Israelite community two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.
Well, look at that... we've been transported back in time to a literal Day of Atonement, performed by the Israelites.

6 “Aaron will present the bull for his sin offering and make atonement for himself and his household.
Wphewwwwww...... It was either Israelite Laundry Day, or the Day of Atonement! I got it right!

7 Next he will take the two goats and place them before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
We are getting Warmer... there are two goats.

8 After Aaron casts lots for the two goats, one lot for the Lord and the other for Azazel,[b]

Hmmmm.... so lot casting decided one goats purpose from another. Lots represent "randomness." Hmmmmm

9 he is to present the goat chosen by lot for the Lord and sacrifice it as a sin offering.
This one is TOUCHY... I'm just going to use scripture to explain... 2 Corinthians 5:21 For our sake He made Him to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

See, God isn't a goat and normally shouldn't be seen as a goat. Yet, adjacent to Azazael, is a goat that is symbolic of God. Why is this SIN OFFERING a Goat? Mark 10:18 .... Jesus answered, “Why do you call me good? Only God is good. God just explained that ONLY GOD is Good. That must mean that: Romans 3:10 as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; 11 no one understands; no one seeks for God. 12 All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.” Which explains this portion of 2 Corinthians 5:21 For our sake He made Him to be sin Who knew no sin,

10 But the goat chosen by lot for azazel[c] is to be presented alive before the Lord to make purification with it by sending it into the wilderness for azazel

What's being purified by casting out Azazael. Matthew 27:51 At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split. So, what was keeping us from accessing the MOST HOLY OF HOLY's? Not WHAT... WHO!
1 Corinthians 2:8 Not one of this world’s leaders has understood it; because if they had, they would not have executed the Lord from whom this glory flows.

1 Corinthians 4:4 Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.


2nd Corinthians 3:15 When the Law of Moses is read, they have their minds covered over

Now, obviously this Passage is about the precise moment that Jesus' work at Golgotha is complete then the Resurrection and finally the Ascension.

So Azazael (Desert Demon) is released without forgiveness. I believe that the Law was given by dispensation (or by ordinance) of Angels. (Acts 7:53)(Galatians 3:19). By the time Jesus arrives, "many" (NOT ALL), Sanhedrin officials had been utterly corrupted, to the point that Jesus Rips out Matthew 23 on them, calls them liars and murderers... and of coarse, just as John the Baptizer did, Vipers (Serpents), but just incase we were missing something... Jesus flat out calls them "sons of the devil (accuser of the brethren Rev 12:10)".

Continued from Post #1

Now, this is SUPERDUPER important, because Jesus dealt with the possesed, saved an adulterous caught in the act from being stoned "PER THE STONE LAW"...,, Ate and Drank (Not Grape juice.. but wine) with sinners and such forth.... and not once did Jesus call one of them the Devil! He told Peter that he was being "Adversarial" at the last supper, but only because Peter didn't understand what Jesus was about to go through.

BUT...... the Sanhedrin gang that represented all aspects of "The Book of The Law"... Jesus literally outdoes His Table Flipping incident, by giving them a scathing tongue lashing that the likes of humanity had never known before! By the time Jesus was done, there was zero doubt, that if you wanted to shake hands with the devil, you could settle for a hand shake with the PROUD AND SELF RIGHTOUS, ACCUSING, Sanhedrin Gang, and that would be the same thing!

So, we can then say that Satan was still in power and part of the dispensation (over sight) of every matter involving the Law. Death was the consequence of transgression of the Law. Satan is the "Accuser of the Brethren". So, then, we can say that Satan was part of the Old Covenant, power wise... being that He was imbued with the curse (Power) Genesis 3:14, Heb 2:14 OF DEATH. It is biblically correct to say that Death was the end result of THE LAW. "Oh DEATH, where is thy sting (Serpent Strike), the Serpent strike is SIN and the power behind Sin is... THE NOMOS (Torah).

Welllll.... Satan literally possesses Judas, turns Jesus over to that delightful Sanhedrin... and I'm now almost positive that he thought he was above reproach, in that, he couldn't believe that JESUS was the very PHYSICAL presence of GOD. Satan, blesses the Covenant based condemnation of Jesus, by the Sanhedrin, then grabs a tub of popcorn, to watch the piece de la resistance of all of his Satanic work... the LAWFUL Slaying of God's prophesied Messiah. Satan thought he had beaten God! He sat back, and waited for his final competition to DIE, condemned JUSTLY, in his mind.

Trouble is... Jesus IS GOD and Satan was condemning the VERY Ratifier of the Covenant, WHO had given ALL of Satan's POWER OF DEATH, OVER to that LEGAL DOCUMENT. God didn't cheat! He warned all of Israel; "Leviticus 19:18 You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord. Satan had plenty of time to see what was written in the law, but was too blinded by Self Righteousness and Hate, to see it.

Deuteronomy 19:18-19 And the judges shall investigate thoroughly; and if the witness is a false witness and he has accused his brother falsely, 19 then you shall do to him just as he had intended to do to his brother. Thus you shall purge the evil from among you

Well, as soon as GOD DIED ON THE CROSS, Satan lost all of his power and authority by the very Law that he had used against GOD. Also, the legal contract of The one with the power of Death, being connected to the very Signature Provider of the Covenant (Tablets of the covenant, God's finger wrote on them)... Legally dissolved Satan's Authority, that he had usurped in Eden.

Did Jesus atone for, EVEN Satan? Yes!
Colossians 1:19 For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, 20 and
through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood, shed on the cross.

But alas, Satan, "Azazel" didn't listen when Jesus said; Judge not lest ye be judged yourself, for in what manner(measure) that you judge, you shall be judged in like manner(measure).

This is why Azazel leaves with not only his application of the Law upon God, on his own head, but God now has PROVEN that Satan's legal accusations are FALSE, so the CHARGES against the Children of Israel that had so fervently racked up against Israel, lay upon his head, as well!

The accusations of the ACCUSER were nullified! While Satan's work of legal impropriety rested on his head, the Atoning Covering of Christ, CANNOT!

Christ's attornment is available to ALL, but the Devil can't have it, because he Lived by the Law, Accused by the Law and thusly will forever be condemned by his very own Condemnation!
Christ is the Savior and Atonement of All of Creation. (Faith in Jesus sold separately) While, The Devil is the ACCUSER of all of Creation..... And......

Per Rev. 12, Jesus ascends, war breaks out... and the Accuser is cast from heaven, FOREVER.

Azazel marches on, into the "desert", incapable of receiving atonement, by the very measures that made him believe himself to be "like" God.

Deuteronomy 4 - Deuteronomy 31:26 “Take this Book of the Law and put it by the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against you. The Ark of the Covenant symbolizes Both Jesus and Israel! The Book of the Law is a DIRECT Prophecy of Jesus Crushing the Serpents head as the serpent goes to strike His HEAL!
