"In fact scripture indicates that both are in effect today and I will deal with that in a moment." On the contrary, scripture conclusively proves the old covenant is dead has been replaced by the new. Heb. 8 13: In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. "Ready to vanish away"! The Hebrew Christians were being prepared to let go of the symbols of the old covenant. After God brought forth the "New and Living Way" through Jesus's blood, what purpose would the old covenant serve? Why would God leave a false road map into his Kingdom? There is now only one road into the Kingdom of God and that is through Jesus. The false road map created by the new antichrist Judaism is not a creation of God, but of Satan After the Lord destroyed Old Test. Judaism in 70A.D., the Jews who continued to rebel against God's new covenant set out to establish a new Judaism. based upon their dark vision of a worldly kingdom rather than the kingdom God had established through Jesus. The rise of modern antichrist Judaism is the twisted fruit of their dark vision for a worldly kingdom. The establishment of modern antichrist Israel in the twentieth century is the fulfillment of that dark dream. This is the new false Judaism without Temple, without a priesthood, without the Shekinah glory, without the ark of the covenant and without genealogical tables, that we have today. It is not the God ordained Temple Judaism of the old covenant but a false Judaism based upon opposition to God's plan of salvation. The Ark of the covenant, the Shekinah glory, the Temple, the levitical statutes, the priesthood, the genealogies , Davidic lineage were the identifying marks of the old covenant. The Lord provided a period of special grace between the Resurrection of Jesus and the final destruction of Old Testament Judaism in 70A.D. This allowed the Apostles and disciples sufficient time to proclaim the new covenant to the Jewish people. After this period of grace, God used the Romans, in 70 A.D. to put an end to Old Test. Judaism by destroying the , the Temple, the Ark of the covenant, the Levitical and Aaronic priesthood, the genealogical tables, and the Temple. God had always protected these central elements of the old covenant throughout the history of Israel. The Philistines, the Edomites, the Assyrians, and Babylonians had all tried to destroy Old Test. Judaism and had all failed. The Assyrians had taken the house of Israel in to captivity, and the Babylonians had taken the house of Judah and destroyed the Solomon's Temple, but God had always preserved the temple furniture, the Ark of the Covenant, the genealogical tables, the Levitical and Aaronic priesthood and the genetic lineage of David. After God established his eternal new covenant in Jesus's blood, he provided a period of grace to allow the Jewish people with the faith of Abraham to make the transition from the old to the new, and then utterly destroyed Old Test. Judaism and the old covenant. Old Test. Judaism had in fact become New Test. Judaism or Christianity. All of the symbolic promises of the old covenant had been replaced with the better spiritually promises of the new covenant. All of the symbolic old covenant promises were fulfilled in the eternal promises of the new covenant.

"In fact scripture indicates that both are in effect today and I will deal with that in a moment." Hi again, Tom, The epistle to the Hebrews is written to Jewish people to tell them that the new covenant is replacing the new. Let's turn to Hebrews 10. 9: Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10: By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Ch. 10 is a continuation of the summary of the whole book of Hebrews that was started in ch. 8. The entire book of Hebrews is about the new covenant being established and replacing the old. It is clear that he is taking away the first covenant so he may establish the second or new covenant. Timothy is telling the Hebrews that it is time to trade in the symmbols and promises of the old covenants for the substance and spiritual reality of the new covenant. For those who insist that God has not yet established his new covenant with the Jewish people, let us turn to Hebrews ch. 10:15-21. 15: Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, 16: This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; 17: And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 18: Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin. 19: Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20: By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; The "Holy Ghost" is clearly telling us that this is the new covenant that has been established with the people of Israel. Through this new covenant, God writes the laws on their minds and heart. This is the new and living way that these Hebrew are called upon to accept. The old way of old covenant is dead. In Christ Emile

Warning to the Hebrews not to return to the old covenant.... Heb. 10 31: It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. 32: But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions; God is reminding the Jews, just as he hath done in the epistles to the Galatians, that their illumination had come through faith in Christ. The Judaizers were encouraging them to trust in the ordinances and statutes of the old covenant. He warns them that after they have received the Holy Ghost and the knowledge of the truth through faith in Christ, they cannot return or fall back on trusting in doing the law for righteouness (they were being encourage to return to some of the elements of the old covenant for righteouness). 28: He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? Timothy then tells the Hebrews: 38: Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39: But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul. In Hebs. 11, he warns them: 6: But without faith it is impossible to please him:* for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.* ------------------------------------------------------- Now let me give you quotes from Eusebius about a specific Jewish sect that had totally confused the Hebrew believers about their new covenant faith.( Josephus also reports on this early Jewish sect) Josephus was a contemporary eyewitness and Eusebius was born in 260 A.D. Eusebius is known as the father of Church history. The Ebionite were a Jewish sect that started around 70 A.D. hapter XXVII. The Heresy of the Ebionites.262 1 The evil demon, however, being unable to tear certain others from their allegiance to the Christ of God, yet found them susceptible in a different direction, and so brought them over to his own purposes. The ancients quite properly called these men Ebionites, because they held poor and mean opinions concerning Christ.263 2 For they considered him a plain and common man, who was justified only because of his superior virtue, and who was the fruit of the intercourse of a man with Mary. In their opinion the observance of the ceremonial law was altogether necessary, on the ground that they could not be saved by faith in Christ alone and by a corresponding life.264 3 There were others, however, besides them, that were of the same name,265 but avoided the strange and absurd beliefs of the former, and did not deny that the Lord was born of a virgin and of the Holy Spirit. But nevertheless, inasmuch as they also refused to acknowledge that he pre-existed,266 being God, Word, and Wisdom, they turned aside into the impiety of the former, especially when they, like them, endeavored to observe strictly the bodily worship of the law.267 4 These men, moreover, thought that it was necessary to reject all the epistles of the apostle, n whom they called an apostate from the law;268 and they used only the so-called Gospel according to the Hebrews269 and made small account of the rest. 5 The Sabbath and the rest of the discipline of the Jews they observed just like them, but at the same time, like us, they celebrated the Lord's days as a memorial of the resurrection of the Saviour.270 6 Wherefore, in consequence of such a course they received the name of Ebionites, which signified the poverty of their understanding. For this is the name by which a poor man is called among the Hebrews.271 May the Lord Jesus aboundantly bless and lead you into his fullness. Emile
