  1. THE TWO COVENANTS HEBREWS 8-9

  2. JESUS AND THE NEW JESUS, OUR HIGH PRIEST, SERVES IN THE REAL HEAVENLY TABERNACLE, SEATED AT GOD’S RIGHT HAND HE IS THE MEDIATOR OF A BETTER COVENANT AND SO IS ABLE TO ACHIEVE WHAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE UNDER THE OLD COVENANT

  3. GOD’S DESIRE/DREAM A PEOPLE WHO WOULD BE LIKE HIM IN THEIR WORLDVIEW SHARE HIS VALUES, HIS BELIEFS, EXPRESSED IN LIFESTYLE AND BEHAVIOUR SHARE HIS DREAM SUCH A PEOPLE COULD BE TRAINED TO WORK WITH HIM IN ACHIEVING THE DREAM

  4. DREAM LEADS TO COVENANT GOAL OF THE COVENANT A PEOPLE FOR GOD “A KINGDOM OF PRIESTS AND A HOLY NATION” EXODUS 19:6 HOLY = SET APART FOR GOD’S EXCLUSIVE USE PRIESTS = SERVING GOD AND HIS INTERESTS KINGDOM = UNDER GOD’S RULE YET RULING WITH HIM ONLY POSSIBLE UNDER THE NEW COVENANT

  5. COVENANT AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN TWO PARTIES GOD INITIATES HIS COVENANTS, SETS THE GOAL, TERMS, CONDITIONS, REWARDS AND PENALTIES HIS CHOSEN RECIPIENTS MUST AGREE TO ALL THAT GOD REQUIRES BOTH PARTIES COMMIT THEMSELVES TO THE COVENANT

  6. OLD COVENANT [SINAI] A PACKAGE, ENACTED ON EARTH PHYSICAL, EXTERNAL, OUTWARD RELATIONSHIP BASED ON RULES ACCESS TO GOD LIMITED BY HUMAN FAILURE A REPRESENTATIVE GROUP WAS NEEDED TO MEDIATE BETWEEN GOD AND HIS PEOPLE THESE WERE CALLED PRIESTS, HEADED BY A HIGH PRIEST

  7. RESTORING RELATIONSHIPS THE PRIESTS’ TASK – MAKING ATONEMENT INVOLVING ANIMAL SACRIFICE THE BLOOD OF THE SLAUGHTED ANIMAL WAS COLLECTED AND PRESENTED/SPRINCLED “BEFORE GOD”. THIS WAS CALLED “MAKING ATONEMENT” AFTER WHICH THE PERSON [SINNER] WAS FORGIVEN

  8. THE PROBLEM MORAL UNIVERSE – CONSEQUENCE OF MORAL DEVIATION IS DEATH, SEPARATION FROM THE LIFE OF GOD RECONNECTION IS ONLY POSSIBLE BY MAKING ATONEMENT LEVITICUS 17:11 “THE LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD … THE BLOOD MAKES ATONEMENT FOR THE SOUL [LIFE]”

  9. STEPS TO RECONNECTION DEVIANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND OWNS HIS/HER DEVIANT BEHAVIOUR A FLAWLESS ANIMAL IS KILLED THE PRIEST TAKES SOME OF THE BLOOD AND SPRINCLES IT BEFORE THE LORD THE DEVIANT IS FORGIVEN AND RECONNECTED

  10. PROBLEM WITH THE FIRST COVENANT “EARTHLY” ATONEMENT COULD NOT CLEANSE THE CONSCIENCE OF THE GUILTY PARTY FORGIVENESS DID NOT REMOVE THE FAILURE, ONLY COVERED IT THE FORGIVEN STILL DIED IN THIS ATONMENT GOD WAS SAYING “LEAVE IT WITH ME. I WILL FIX IT [ONE DAY]”

  11. A NEW COVENANT IS NEEDED HEBREWS 8:8-13 DIVINE REQUIREMENTS NO LONGER EXTERNAL, BUT INTERNALISED NO LONGER CONFORMITY, BUT ENABLING CONSCIENCE WOULD BE CLEANSED FOR SIN. ITWOULD BE REMOVED GOD’S DREAM COULD BE THEN REALISED

  12. KEY TO NEW COVENANT JESUS, THE NEW HIGH PRIEST HIS SACRIFICE [OF HIMSELF] REPLACES THE ANIMALS OF THE OLD HE TAKES HIS “BLOOD” INTO THE HEAVENLY TABERNACLE, INTO THE PRESENCE OF GOD HE HAS NOT GONE INTO THE HEAVENLY HOLY OF HOLIES AS OUR SUBSTITUTE ONLY BUT AS OUR PIONEER/TRAILBLAZER
