YOU HAVE TO FIRST FULFILL OR MAKE VOID THE FIRST CONTRACT
(COVENANT)!

HEBREWS 8
Hbr 8:1 ¶ Now of the things which we have spoken [this is] the
sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the
throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
Hbr 8:2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle,
which the Lord pitched, and not man.
Hbr 8:3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and
sacrifices: wherefore [it is] of necessity that this man have somewhat
also to offer.
Hbr 8:4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing
that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
Hbr 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly
things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make
the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, [that] thou make all things according
to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
Hbr 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by
how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was
established upon better promises.
BUT WHAT? CHRIST OBTAINED A MORE EXCELLENT MINISTRY, BY HOW
MUCH ASO CHRIST IS THE MEDIATOR OF A BETTER COVENANT, WHICH
AS ESTABLSIEHD UPON BETTER PROMISES!
Hbr 8:7 ¶ For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then should
no place have been sought for the second.
FOR IF THAT FIRST COVENANT (CONTRACT) HAD BEEN FAULTLESS,
THEN SHOULD NO PLACE HAVE BEEN SOUGHT FOR THE SECOND
COVENANT (CONTRACT)!
Hbr 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, 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:
THE LAW IS GOOD BUT GOD FINDING FAULT WITH JACKASS MAN (NOT
THE LAW) , GOD SAITH, BEHOLD, THE DAYS COME SAITH THE LORD,
WHEN I WILL MAKE A NEW COVENANT (CONTRACT) WITH THE HOUSE
OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH!
Hbr 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their
fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of
the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I
regarded them not, saith the Lord.
NOT ACCORDING TO THE COVENANT THAT GOD MADE WITH THEIR
FATHERS (MOSES AND ISRAEL) IN THE DAYS WHEN I TOOK THEM BY
THE HAND TO LEAD THEM OUT OF THE LAND OF ETYPT; BECAUSE
THEY CONTINUED NOT IN MY COVENANT, AND I REGARDED THEM NOT
, SAITH THE LORD!
Hbr 8:10 For 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:
Hbr 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour,
and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know
me, from the least to the greatest.
Hbr 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and
their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Hbr 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.
GOD IS NOT A GOD TO LIE BUT A GOD WHO KEEPS HIS WORD!
FIND YOURSELF A GOOD BIBLE TEACHER MINUS THE BULLSHIT!
Holla!
