Therefore, O Zion, you may now come boldly unto the throne of grace, that you may obtain the Lord’s mercy, and find his grace to help you in the time of your need.
For every high priest that was taken among men was ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he would offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself was also compassed with infirmity. And by reason hereof he, as for the people, so also for himself, made an offering for sins.
And no man took this honor unto himself, but he that was called by God, as was Aaron. So also Christ glorified not himself to be made a high priest; but He that said unto him, Thou art my Son, today have I begotten thee. And He said also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications, with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that He feared; though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered; and being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; called of God, a high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
Know your New Testament… Yet, O Palestine, concerning your High Priest and Savior who has risen to Heaven to intercede on your behalf, and who has called you again to your Holy Convocation, there are many things yet to be said unto you, these things are now hard to explain, seeing that you are yet dull of hearing the Word of God…
Although you have been called to become the remnant of the Lord, the Holy People, and the teachers of the oracles of God, to all the world, from Jerusalem, you now have need that one teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; you are in need of milk, and not of strong meat, for every one that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe…
But strong meat belongs to them that are of full age and mature in their faith and their study of the Word of God, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Therefore, know this, O Palestinian People, You now have such a High Priest, who is set on the Right Hand of the Throne of the Majesty in the heavens, a minister (on your behalf, O Palestine) of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. Your High Priest has obtained the most excellent ministry, and is also the Mediator of a better covenant with you, which is established upon better promises to YOUR GENERATION.
For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. For finding fault with them, He said, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a New Covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah:
This is the covenant that I will make with the House of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: and they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
In that your Lord has said, A New Covenant, know this, He has, through two thousand years of judgment against your nation, made the first covenant obsolete, it has disappeared and shall never be honored by the Lord God of Israel again, throughout all eternity. The first covenant is no more! Your New Covenant, according to the Lord’s New Testament, and according to my Good Tidings UNTO ALL PALESTINIAN PEOPLE, is now in force; that by his Holy Spirit, unto all who repent of serving sin, your Lord and Savior will now anoint you with the Oil of Joy…
That you shall now experience liberty from sin, the opening of the prison of false doctrine; this is your appointment, O Palestine! You shall now have beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that you shall now become trees of righteousness, the planting of your High Priest and Savior, that He shall now be glorified throughout all the world, by you, O Palestine!
Having therefore boldness, O brethren in Palestine, you may now enter – through your prayers, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ – into the Holiest by the blood of Jesus! This is your new and living way, which He has consecrated for you, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh.
Therefore, O Palestine, having such a High Priest over the House of God, you shall now draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith, having your hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and your bodies washed with pure water. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any of you draw back away from the work of your Lord, He shall have no pleasure in him.
But, O Palestine, as your Lord has called you forth to your Holy Convocation, you will not be of them that draw back in unbelief unto perdition; rather, you shall be of them who believe to the saving of the soul, by the salvation of the Lord God of Israel.
For it is written: I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you…
