If you read the Bible as a whole, you see the pattern of the world drifting farther and farther away from God, until He calls them back. First by the flood, then Moses leading people from Eygpt, etc...
It has always been God's desire to walk amongst humanity as He did in the garden of Eden.
I venture to say the reformation spoken of in Hebrews refers to moving from a time when people approached God through priests and earthly mediators to the New Covenant...when the Holy Spirit lives in our hearts and all men and women may pray and approach the throne because of Christ sacrifice for us.
****never heard it referred to as reformation before.
What version of the Bible are you quoting from?

Thanks for the reply.
The King James all versions use the world reformation.
Makes a good study adventure .As I mentioned the word reformationas to how it is used seems to have lost its usefulness.
It has something to do with how we view a Jew as to the purpose they were used for. He was not changing or replacing one religion with another, or one nation for another. But clearly reforming it to another time period when there was no outward representation. I would suggest to the period of Judges when God reigned from heaven as King. The apostate Jews in there jealousy demands they have an outward representation like all the Pagan religions of the world.He told Samuel the Judge its not you that they after rejecting as their king but I who they do not want rgfining over them by faith(the unseen) .
He gave them over to do that which they should not of,sending a strong delusion so they could believe the lie. Performing it (an outward representation) for a temporal time period, which I believe pointed the time of reformation.

It’s what reformations do... restore to another time period.

Luke 1
Mary's Song
…54He has helped His servant Israel, remembering to be merciful, 55as He promised to our fathers, to Abraham and his descendants forever.” 56Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.…
Galatians 3:16
The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say, "and to seeds," meaning many, but "and to your seed," meaning One, who is Christ.

God gave the covenant to Abraham to walk with him.
This is the Covenant of faith. Abraham, and those of faith had to obey God.
When the Israelites came out of Egypt they did not obey God, e.g. the Sabbath test,
So God imposed a new Covenant, the Mosaic covenant, with the Law.
The Jews got hung up on the Law, and wanted to stay under it, but the idea was that Jesus was the promise of the Abrahamic covenant, and the Mosaic Covenant was finished, like a booster on a space trip, it had served its purpose and needed to be discarded.
So those who are free are under the Abrahamic Covenant of walking with God, and the slaves are those who want to hang on to the Law.

try starting with Galatians 1 and read through 4 - paul takes the physical to allegorize the spiritual.
he ends up saying that unbelieving jews of his day were like hagar - slaves to the Law (first covenant).
he says that Christians, like Isaac, were (and are) persecuted by the unbelieving jews.
ppl don't realize how severe and serious the persecution at the hands of the jews was (as well as at the hands of the gentiles).
Gal 3
Sons Through Faith in Christ
26You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 28There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise.
Galatians 4
Galatians 4 BSB < read all of it. you will see it.

The one seed (spiritual )there it is of Christ, the Holy Spirit of God who does the anointing as His teaching method, performing it without the use of human hands . The children of the promise (new creatures) are counted as being under His spiritual seed,Christ) and not seeds, many, that pertain to the flesh
no! they were saved by faith, whether before the Cross and most certainly after.
