Through the Bible with Les Feldick
LESSON 2 * PART 3 * BOOK 50
Hebrews 7:20 – 8:10

Remembering, I’ve got to keep repeating it, that we’re dealing primarily with Jewish people who were still having a hard time separating themselves from any part of Judaism. Hebrews 7:25
"Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him. Hebrews 7:26
"For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;"
Now then, verse 27.
Hebrews 7:27a
"Who needeth not daily, as those high priests,…"
Hebrews 7:27b
Now I’ve always stressed when I teach Hebrews, look for the number of times where it tells us that Christ did these things "once." Verse 28.
Hebrews 7:28a
"For the law (the Mosaic Law) maketh men high priests who have infirmity; (they’re human. Now, a lot of folks have a hard time understanding that I maintain that the Four Gospels cannot have our Gospel of Grace in them because Christ hadn’t died yet. Luke 18 verse 31. Luke 18:31
Luke 18:32
Now look at verse 34. Look what the Scripture says,
Luke 18:34
God did. Alright, now verse 28 again of Hebrews chapter 7.
Hebrews 7:28
"For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; (they’re going to die) but the word of the oath, which was since the law, (on this side of the Cross) maketh the Son,(Who we’ve been emanating all the way through Hebrews.) Everything that God required to satisfy the sins of mankind is accomplished. We understand the workings of it but the very mind of God behind it, why, why did He have to have a blood sacrifice? There again the word Trinity isn’t in your Bible, but the whole concept of a Triune God is and listen, there’s no way you can understand that except by faith. Because you see, while Christ was dead on the Cross, if He was the only person of the Godhead, then God would have been what? Dead. The Holy Spirit. Alright now the same way, the Son now had been set at the right hand of the Majesty on High and we pick that up now in chapter 8 verse 1.
Hebrews 8:1
I’m going to recap, Paul says. Now I always emphasize to people that Christ is not on a throne tonight. Again, I always like to emphasize, don’t picture Him sitting on a little chair and God the Father’s up here on some big throne. That’s not what we’re to do, but positionally in the heavenlies, we have God the Son, a Priest after the order of Melchisedec placed at the right hand of the Majesty on High.
Now maybe Daniel chapter 7 will help a little bit in that. Let’s drop in at verse 9. I’m just doing this to show that Scripture fits with Scripture. Daniel 7:9
There again, that’s just beyond our human understanding. Now verse 10, just to give us a little glimpse of this throne room of heaven.
Daniel 7:10
Millions) ministered unto him, (millions of what? The Angelic hosts.) Now jump over to verse 13.
Daniel 7:13-14
one like the Son of man (see here it is, way back here in the Old Testament. What I want you to see, is this relationship between God the Father on the throne at this time and God the Son as He comes before Him.
Alright now back to Hebrews chapter 8, you’ve got this same picture of how this high Priest after the order of Melchisedec is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens. Where’s Heaven? Now verse 2 of Hebrews chapter 8.
Hebrews 8:2
"A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man."
As a "minister of the sanctuary" it could possibly take the point that God the Son is at the very core of the Body of Christ. He is the Core of the true dwelling place of God, which is you and I as believers. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit.
I Corinthians 3:16
"Know you not that ye (now remember, Paul always writes to believers) are the temple (see, the dwelling place) of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you."
Come over to chapter 6 in the same book, and it’s repeated in verse 19.
(Paul writes) know ye not that your body (this physical body of flesh and bone) is the temple (or the dwelling place) of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own. (why?) 20. For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s."
It now belongs to God. It’s His dwelling place."
Alright, now you can come back to Hebrews chapter 8. You’ve got to remember the Temple is still operating in Jerusalem when this is being written. Now look at verse 9.
Exodus 25:9
What’s a pattern? The Book of Hebrews tells us it’s in heaven. And so there is a likeness of the Temple format ‘in the heavens’ not made by men but created by God Himself. And it was into that Temple that Christ went in as our high priest.
