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 Well, look at that... we've been transported back in time to a literal Day of Atonement, performed by the Israelites.5 He is to take from the Israelite community two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.
Wphewwwwww...... It was either Israelite Laundry Day, or the Day of Atonement! I got it right!6 “Aaron will present the bull for his sin offering and make atonement for himself and his household.
We are getting Warmer... there are two goats.7 Next he will take the two goats and place them before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
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
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.9 he is to present the goat chosen by lot for the Lord and sacrifice it as a sin offering.
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
Leviticus 16:20 “When he has finished purifying the most holy place, the tent of meeting, and the altar, he is to present the live male goat. 21 Aaron will lay both his hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the Israelites’ wrongdoings and rebellious acts—all their sins. He is to put them on the goat’s head and send it away into the wilderness by the man appointed for the task.[d] 22 The goat will carry on it all their wrongdoings into a desolate land, and he will release it there.
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)".
