Your High Priest Atonement The Holy People; The Redeemed of the Lord
*******
Know your New Covenant… A Jubilee shall this Pentecostal year be unto you, O Jerusalem, O Palestine; as this is your Jubilee Restoration, this shall be a holy year unto you and your Lord. This year shall be hallowed, for by the seven trumpets of the ram’s horn, liberty shall be proclaimed, that you shall no longer serve sin, but you shall become circumcised to serve your Holy Lord God of Israel, and in you shall his Holy Spirit dwell.
As your fathers were commanded to cause this trumpet of jubilee to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, during your Holy Convocation shall you make the trumpet to sound throughout all your land, heralding the Lamb of God, that you may return to the Lord whom you pierced, that suffered for your sins and has already made the eternal atonement, for every member of Palestine, great and small, who shall call upon his name, in repentance. Ratified by fire, this is the Lord’s New Covenant with you O Zion:
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a New Covenant with the House of Israel, and with the House of Palestine: not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was a husband unto them, saith the Lord…
But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the House of Israel/Palestine; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people…
And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Long ago, the first covenant had ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the shewbread; which is called the sanctuary.
And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant; and over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercy seat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.
Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: the Holy Spirit of the Lord is signifying this, that, the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing…
Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience; which stood only in meats and drinks, and diverse washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
Know your Eternal Redemption… But when Jesus Christ of Nazareth appeared as the High Priest of the good things to come, by the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood He entered in once into the HOLY PLACE, having obtained eternal redemption for us…
For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
And for this cause He is the mediator of the New Testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator lives.
Wherefore, neither was the first testament dedicated without blood. For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, saying, This is the blood of the testament which God has enjoined unto you.
Moreover, he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. And almost all things are, by the law, purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
