INTRODUCTION:
1. Turn with me in your Bibles to Heb. 9:15.
2. Last week we took a look at Heb. 9:11-14.
3. We saw, The Messiah has appeared. V11-14
A. Look at the word “has” it is pasted tense, meaning it has taken place.
1. In this passage what took place was the Messiah having appeared:
a. And the writer points out what He appeared as. (GK the Chief Priest of
things to come)
b. He “has appeared”, but the purpose is. (So good things will come, now we
see something future that will happen, it has not happen yet)
c. But we do know this. (In the future “good things will be coming” but
have not yet come)
d. We also see a piece of the puzzle. (These things to come have to do with
having entered into a Tabernacle not made of this creation, or by
human hands)
1). This goes back to Heb. 2:17. (He made Propitiation for the sins of the
People, GK means to Atone for and to reconcile the people)
2). Now look at the word Atonement. (Look at Lev. 16:6, and Aaron is to
Offer a Bull for His Atonement, or His covering Heb)
3). But Aaron had to do this once a year to go before Yahweh. (It was
Something that had to be done over and over again)
4). Now we see there is a covering aspect to His blood. (But in verse 12 we
See another aspect, redemption Look at Lev. 25:49-52)
a). This speaks of a slave that was sold to a master for a period of time. (But
the slave could be freed if he were to pay for the remaining years of
service, this was known as redemption, to buy back)
b). Look at Acts 20:26-28. (The whole assembly has been purchased,
bought out of slavery and He did so with His blood)
c). So we find both aspects. (A covering of our sins and a purchase from
slavery and Heb. 9:12 our purchase is eternal in nature GK means
“without end, never ceasing”)
d). There is a difference I believe in the covering and the purchase. (We see
see this in the difference in language, the purchase is eternal, but we
need to repent of our sins all the time, to turn back to Him)
e). Look at Rev. 3:14-22. (Look at verse 17, they are naked GK means
without clothes, or uncovered and exposed if you will, but the
assembly is purchased He has ownership for eternity)
a). Look at Gen 3:8-10 They were naked
b). Look at Gen. 3:21 Yahweh provided a covering
f). We see this in 1 Cor. 5:1-5. (This speaks to the destruction of the flesh
so the soul would be saved in the Day of the Lord)
2. Now having said these things let’s go back to Verse 10 of Heb. 9 for a
Minute:
a. The words imposed until the time of restoration is important. (And I hope
will help us understand a little better)
b. These were imposed until the time of restoration. (GK for imposed is “rest
upon, and has a reference to the burning coals of the altar)
1). The word “until”. (GK means to a certain point)
2). The word “time”. (GK means “to a fixed and appointed time)
3). The word “restoration”. (GK means “to make straight, but also to
Restore something to its natural and normal condition)
c. Interestingly enough this references back to Dan. 9:26-27. (The Messiah is
cut off, this is the time when Yashua was crucified and there will be
wars)
1). But look at verse 27. (There will be a covenant made with the leaders
Of Israel for 7 years the week, the Temple will be built and sacrifice
And offerings will be started)
a). Heb. for “firm” is strong
b). Heb. for “many” could be elders, the covenant with many elders
c). Heb. “covenant” is a reference to “cutting animals in two in Gen.
13-21 “Unbreakable covenant, so prophesy is at the end of 7 years
He will bring His people out of Egypt into the land.
d). Heb. for “week” is week but has two RT words, 1. Is complete, and
the second is to 7 oneself or to complete an oath.
2). But notice, in the middle of the week. (3 ½ years into the 7 years the
Beast will defile the Temple and will reign until the time of his
Destruction, look at Dan. 11:30-31)
a). Notice we are given a time to flee. (Matt. 24:15-28, When you see the
abomination of desolation standing in the Holy place as spoken of by
Daniel)
b). Look at 2 Thess. 2:1-4. (He will defile the Temple and proclaim to be
God and demand to be worshipped as such)
c). At the end of the second 3 ½ years. (The final battle will be fought and
won, look at Rev. 19:11-21, then Satan and the beast are bound for a
thousand years and the Reign of Messiah)
1). Look at Matt. 24:3-14 when the end will come.
d). Look at Rev. 21. (Restoration of the Kingdom of God)
4. Now remember we have been talking about the priesthood and the sacrifice.
5. And we will continue to look at these things.
6. This is important for us to understand because this is what affects our salvation
Our salvation and how we understand it.
7. Let’s read Heb. 9:15, Pray!
I. Yashua is the mediator of the covenant. V15
A. Remember, we are speaking of the Priesthood.
1. This word mediator is important:
a. In the GK it can mean (1) one who intervenes between two, either in
order to make or restore peace and friendship, or form a compact,
or for ratifying a covenant 2) a medium of communication, arbitrator)
b. We find this definition in Deut. 5:1-5. (Moses is talking to Israel telling
them that He went between them and Yahweh because of their fear)
c. So this word “mediator” gives us a picture. (And it literally means one
who stands between two parties or two people to restore something,
and in this case it would be the covenant, look at the word compact
in the definition)
2. So look at what Yashua is a mediator of:
a. A new covenant. (There is a lot of controversy over this “new covenant”
and what that means)
b. Let’s look at Jere. 31:31-34. (Jeremiah speaks of a new covenant that will
come to pass one day, and this is the same language as we see in Heb.
9:15)
1). The word new in the Heb. (Means new or a fresh thing, but the RT
Word means to rebuild, renew, or to repair)
2). So we could say Yashua is the mediator. (Of a renewed covenant with
His people, who did He identify as renewing it with Jere. 31:31? With
The house of Israel and Judah)
c. The reason is so those who are called. (The word called GK is interesting,
it means to give a name to, or to those who have been given a name)
1). Look at Rev. 19:9. (Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage
Supper of the Lamb)
2). Now remember, the word invited GK means. (To be given a name, and
Passage has been attached to the Marriage supper of the Lamb and
Is in reference to the saints, read Rev. 19:1-8)
3). This is significant because look at Jere. 31:31-32. (Even though He had
Married them is important)
4). Look at Jere. 3:6-13. (Look specifically at verse 8, He divorced Israel
Put her away for adultery)
5). Look at Deut. 24:1-4. (This is what Yashua quoted in Matt. 5:31-32,
And notice the man can’t not remarry the one you divorced, Jere.
Also says this in Jere. 3:1)
6). Now because Israel had belonged to another. (We could not be
Remarried to our 1st husband, so according to Rom. 7:4-6
He died and we died, so now we are free from the marriage
That kept us bound to Satan)
7). Look at Gen. 2:21-25. (Yahweh took a bone from Adams side to make
Women)
a). Adam said, this one is bone of my bone. (Heb. says she is part of my
body, so they have become one body, not two but one body)
b). So adultery. (Literally pulls apart the flesh, and then attaches to
another flesh, those that have been through divorce know this)
c). That is why death is important in this case. (Because in death the body
is destroyed and that bond no longer exists)
d. So a death has taken place:
1). The purpose of this death is important. (It was for the redemption, the
Word redemption is important, GK means a payment made for a
Ransom)
2). Remember, it is a reference to Lev. 25:49-52. (This speaks of a slave that
was sold to a master for a period of time. (But the slave could be freed if
he were to pay for the remaining years of service, this was known as
redemption, to buy back)
3). Look at Acts 20:26-28. (The whole assembly has been purchased,
bought out of slavery and He did so with His blood)
a). So we find both aspects. (A covering of our sins and a purchase from
slavery and Heb. 9:12 our purchase is eternal in nature GK means
“without end, never ceasing”)
b). There is a difference I believe in the covering and the purchase. (We see
see this in the difference in language, the purchase is eternal, but we
need to repent of our sins all the time, to turn back to Him)
c). Look at Rev. 3:14-22. (Look at verse 17, they are naked GK means
without clothes, or uncovered and exposed if you will, but the
assembly is purchased He has ownership for eternity)
1). Look at Gen 3:8-10 They were naked
2). Look at Gen. 3:21 Yahweh provided a covering
d). We see this in 1 Cor. 5:1-5. (This speaks to the destruction of the flesh
so the soul would be saved in the Day of the Lord)
e. For transgressions committed under the first covenant.:
1). The word “transgressions” means. (To violate Yahweh’s law, or Torah
Or instructions, and we can, in light of Jere. 31 marriage covenant)
2). And this was with the first covenant. (Remember, the sacrifice used
Could not consummate the promise or covenant)
3). I want to go back for a moment to Deut. 24:1-4. (This is talking about
Divorce and remarriage, or to not remarry the one you have
Divorced)
4). Notice to remarry the one you divorce after she married another. (It is
Detestable to the Lord)
1). KJV uses the word abomination. (Heb. this word detestable or
Abomination is tied to idolatry, and the RT word means to loathe)
2). But look verse 4 says you must not bring “guilt” on the land. (That
Word “guilt” in the Heb. means to “sin” Heb. for that is be lacking
Or to miss what it is supposed to be)
3). Look at Rom. 8:19-23. (Look at verse 20, the creation was subjected
To futility, not on its own, but through Adam’s sin)
