The End Of Gods Word, Sunday Message 9/14/2025 with Pastor Sandy (No Notes Today)
 
Hebrews 5:5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

Let me use the example of Tom Brady. No one looked at him as the "high priest of quarterbacks" when he was in college or when he was first drafted into the NFL. For many years there was a lot of debate about him, was he any good? Was he a cheater? But after he went to his tenth superbowl and won his seventh the debate was over.

7 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;

Now we look at his life and career and can see repeatedly he had to be "saved from death".

8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

Now the journey he took looks like a photo negative. Before you could see all the suffering, but now we see all the things he learned from that suffering.

9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

It is stunning that a guy could go through so much and when it is over people look at that career and they are amazed. I have heard it described as two, even three hall of fame careers.

10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

Now everyone sees Brady as "the GOAT". That is our term for the High Priest of being a quarterback after the order of Melchisedec. Now he can administer advice, administer help in a time of need.

11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. 12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

Ouch! We all when we get to this age and experience as a Christian should be teachers. Every single one of us would have been brought through many sufferings and the things we learned through that we could then teach others. But how do you treat suffering? Do you treat this as something you need to run to mommy to be comforted, or do you treat it as an opportunity to learn how to overcome?

13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

I heard Brady talk about how all kids should play football because it is hard. It is exhausting, it involves denial of yourself, everyday you have to go up against people bigger and tougher than you. He said that life is hard and that is why football is such a good lesson. I hear all these stories of kids being bullied in school and wonder why I was never bullied? But then I remember, I was, only when the bully showed up I did not allow myself to be bullied, I stood up to him. I can think of at least four times this happened, and every time the bully backs down when you refuse to be bullied. But the real training was on the football field. I would often have to go against the biggest and toughest kids on the team, they were a little bigger than me, they had more swagger than me. But I had been well trained in football from the time I was 11. I knew how to tackle and block and so I applied what I knew and never backed down. Football was much harder than any bully which is why I almost think that I never saw any bullies growing up.

More people turning to God as a result of Charlie's memorial.

Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
 
Hosea 9:7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.

I have seen this over the last five years. When I started this blog no one wanted to talk about the rapture. Churches, pastors, preachers, none of them wanted to touch this subject so I started this because i had questions and I wanted to do a deep dive. I was rebuked, I was mocked, ridiculed and a number of people wagged their tongue. But look at what fools they have become, look at how the guy who portrayed himself as a spiritual man is now simply a mad man. They weren't filled with wisdom and prudence, they were filled with hate.

8 The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.

This is precisely what they have become, they are snares. Someone wants to study the word of God and they sit like snares looking at something to snipe at.

9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.

Gibeah was where the Benjaminites raped, abused and killed the Levite's concubine. The last few years have been like some dystopian horror story of roving street gangs. They aren't spiritual warriors, rather they attack and kill their own people. They become so tribal that Benjaminites kill Levites. The news focuses on the most horrific events just like the Levite cutting the woman up into pieces and sending her to the 12 tribes. Everything is designed to outrage and divide.

10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.

I used to have a fig tree and I would check that tree every morning when the first ripe figs were coming in. I would be able to find two or three, sometimes fiver or six. They are wonderful, one fig is precisely one mouthful, a great breakfast. I would eat these on my way out the door to work. This was something I looked forward to all year. But Baalpeor was a shameful place of idol worship. Perhaps the best modern day analogy in the US is "Burning Man" where they have tents set up for orgies. It was a place of idolatry, fornication, and nakedness. The US has become such a place, there are covens for witches set up in every state. 70,000 people pay the $5,000 fee to go to burning man each year.

11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.

Ephraim is a name for the younger son of Joseph, it is one of the twelve tribes since Joseph got a double portion, and it is also the name given to the northern ten tribes. The modern equivalent in my mind is the USA. The blessing to Joseph was the blessing to scientists, and Ephraim would become greater than his older brother Manasseh. I believe Manasseh represents Germany, the first scientific capital, and then during WW2 the Jewish scientists fled to the USA and Ephraim (USA) became the scientific capital of the world. The US has enjoyed great glory worldwide since WW2, however, at the time of the tribulation that glory will fly away.

12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!

There are those in the US who are faithful to the Lord, at the time of the rapture they will depart from the US, and that will be like God departing from the US. At that time there will be great persecution, worse than has ever been in human history. The rapture will be like removing all the men who kept the place safe and leaving women and children to be bereaved.

13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.

Tyre was a wealthy city by the sea, they had every advantage of geography. The same is true of the US, we have more deep water ports than all the other major countries combined. We sit on two oceans. We have been protected by those oceans and they have enriched our economy. But like Tyre the US will be overthrown and burned to the ground because of its idolatry, slave trade, and general corruption.

14 Give them, O Lord: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

God says "vengeance is mine, I will repay". No one knows better how to repay than God. What do you think abortion is? What better way to repay someone who kills a few of their babies than a miscarrying womb. God gave you babies and you despised and killed them. Now when you want a baby you can't have one. They make formula because women don't want to breast feed, but now during the famine the formula will be gone and you will have dry breasts. It is like the line in the song "you don't know what you have until it is gone".

15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.

Gilgal was famous place of worship to the Lord, Joshua entered the land here, set up the tabernacle, circumcised all of Israel, and ate the firstfruits of the land here. In the US this would be like Massachusetts. But now Mass. is a center for witchcraft, it is a center for the liberal progressive doctrines supporting abortion and other abominations.

16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb. 17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

This happened to Israel when they rejected Jesus Christ as Messiah and it is a warning to the church today. Look at all these rainbow coalition churches that reject the fellowship of the apostles. They claim the Bible is out of date and sexist. What a fitting response but to remove all the men and cast them away to wander without a man to protect them.
 
Good review of all the key signs we have covered on this blog over the years.

2025 CONVERGENCE ON STEROIDS! - Night Watch with Bro Chooch
 
September 23rd -- this year or 12 months from now?

I have been doing this blog since 2020 though I started on another platform and had to move to this one. I have seen many high watch dates come and go, though with each one we learned more about the word of God, and so far none of them caused me to cross off any Bible prophecies, rather they simply caused me to reassess my interpretation.

However, I have come to the conclusion that most people are looking at this wrong. Jesus said "no one knows the day or the hour" of the rapture. Yes, I get that this is an idiom for the Feast of Trumpets but I also get that this is a hint. Jesus never said we don't know the year, He never said we don't know when the tribulation begins, or when it ends.

1. There are several prophecies that indicate Jesus comes back after 2,000 years from being crucified, but before it is 3,000 years.
2. However, the tribulation ends and then we do enter the 3,000th year after the crucifixion.


So that really narrows things down. If Jesus was crucified in 32 AD it means the tribulation goes from 2025 to 2032. I would say at this point the odds on favorite is that Jesus was crucified in 32 AD.

3. I also believe the 70th week refers to a seven year period that begins on Rosh Hashanah.

So even though we don't know the day and hour of the rapture, we do know the day that the 70th week begins. But we also know that the 70th week begins with the many confirming a covenant for one week.

4. The fact that this Feast of Trumpets (which is also Rosh Hashanah) the UN is meeting to confirm a two state solution for Israel is in my opinion not a coincidence but rather the fulfillment of prophecy.

We also know that during the seven year period, not at the very start, but shortly thereafter the Antichrist will implement a digital currency to whole earth. This requires Starlink to be in place, it requires AI, it requires digital currency, it requires smart phone technology and it requires quantum computers. All those things are now in place whereas a few years ago they weren't.

5. We also know that during the seven years the "Beast system" will be rising which I consider a reference to AI and robots having a major influence on the world's economy and military. A few years ago this was a possibility but today it is.

None of this is proof that the rapture takes place in the next 8 days. But know this, the rapture will coincide with a huge earthquake worldwide and the 3 gorges dam cannot withstand a huge earthquake. If that dam collapses it will result in a massive worldwide catastrophe. Also the rapture changes everything overnight, the US dollar will collapse, famine, war and plague will immediately set in. It is the dire straits that the world will be in that sets the stage for them to receive Antichrist as a global dictator. The world will be like a Jenga tower, it will be standing right up until the rapture and then everything collapses. So you will never see the collapse prior to the rapture. However, the question for me is "this year or 12 months from now"?

I don't believe the world can hold it all together for another 12 months.
 
The Children of them which killed the prophets

Matthew 24:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,

30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.

31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.

32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.

We are watching the entire world celebrate Charlie Kirk's life and mourn his passing. What people should understand is that Satan is a murderer and he is a thief. They would not have killed Charlie if they could have defeated his arguments. But also, they would not have killed him if he didn't have something they wanted, which was his ministry to college kids.

When Malcolm X was assassinated it was to silence him, but it was also to seize control of his ministry. When Stephen was killed in Acts they did it to silence him because his ministry condemned them, but they also did it to seize control of the church. Right after that we see Saul of Tarsus on the warpath from the Jewish religious leaders to seize control of the church. We also learn in Galatians the first book written by Paul that the Jews had infiltrated the church with spies to figure out how to bring the church into subjection to Judaism.

 

A Warning About Charlie Kirk RAGEBAIT

He explains how the power elite would want to use the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I disagree with him on certain points, I don't believe that the assassins have manufactured the reaction. Amplified it, played with it, yes, but not created. I see this as Judo, you use your opponents actions against them. If the world mourns Charlie the elites will attempt to use that action against them. It sounds good that "everyone is Charlie Kirk" but the reality is to enter into the battlefield of Spiritual Warfare requires a lot of training. You don't skip white belt through brown belt to suddenly become a black belt. The first levels are all about how to stand on the blood of Jesus, under the protection of His salvation, girt about with truth and protected by faith and not get out of balance. Skip those lessons and you will be an easy target for the enemy.

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

If you are responding with rage you are going to be slaughtered.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

On this video he makes a point that they want people reacting on social media, every single word is kept, goes into your file, and they can then sort people out based on their reactions. I am reacting, but I am not taking the bait. I'm not going to let the insults, mocking, scoffing, and despicable behavior trigger me. My response is that I am an ambassador of the kingdom preaching that we need to be reconciled to God. That is just as true today as it was during the early church. The best thing that happened to the church was when Saul of Tarsus was knocked off his high horse, saw Jesus, and repented. That is my prayer. Pray for eyes to be opened, hearts to be convicted, and people to be converted.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

He points out that people are fighting now to "lead the resistance". I would encourage everyone to pray for Charlie Kirk's widow, I suspect she is under intense pressure from powerful people to become their pawn. I would encourage everyone to pray for Turning Point, USA because I suspect that organization is under intense pressure to be coopted and become a political arm of the MAGA movement.

18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

We are not ignorant of Satan's devices. Divide and conquer is a theory that has worked for the elites for thousands of years. Creating a problem that will cause the populace to demand the solution you want to give them is also a tried and true approach. We do not wrestle with flesh and blood, this rage bait is designed to get people to violate that principle.
 
Hebrews 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

This is the issue I have with OSAS, they refuse to leave these principles and go on unto perfection. All you ever hear from them is to repent from dead works and how their faith has "made them rapture ready". That is baloney, their prayer for forgiveness has resulted in forgiveness, not perfection. They were justified by the blood of Jesus, but it is time to go on unto perfection.

2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

Again, all OSAS talks about is salvation from eternal judgment. People who are debating whether sprinkling or immersion, or whether or not Jesus rose from the dead. These are baby debates of new borns. What a shame that someone in the Lord for 20+ years has still not gone on from here.

3 And this will we do, if God permit. 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Paul talks about how he was enlightened to see that Christ lives in Him. The Holy Spirit is the restrainer of evil, it is what makes the word of God the sword of the Spirit. To taste the word of God and the powers of the world to come means you have experienced the Lord answering your prayers in a mighty way. The word of God is the will of God and when we pray that back to the Lord it is powerful and certain to be answered. This is where we should be going on to be perfected. James talked about the prayers of a righteous man availing much. OSAS focuses on Christ being made our righteousness while ignoring that we should stand on that blood to pray effective prayers. Paul talks about how after all the revelations of the church in Ephesians we should ultimately become the army of God to take a stand for the spiritual warfare. OSAS ignores the spiritual warfare to make everything about you being saved from eternal damnation without any regard to bringing in the kingdom of the heavens to the earth.

7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:

Every week those in Christianity hear the sermons, hear the word of God preached to them, and the result should be that they bring forth fruit of the Spirit.

8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.

But OSAS simply uses this to indicate you can continue to live in sin without fear of eternal damnation. That means you are bringing forth thorns and briers. What we do with land like that is burn it. You are the land, you don't get burned, but all the things you have worked on in your life go up in smoke. That is what it means to be near a curse.
 
Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

OSAS will say that if you talk about your works it is a "works based salvation". We are not saying that our works are what saved us from eternal damnation, nor are we saying they are what made Christ our righteousness. However, if you love Jesus then the proof is your labor of love. If you love the Son of God who you can't see then you will minister to the children of God that you can see. OSAS tries to justify the lack of a labor of love, but all it reveals is the lie that they love the Lord. They have corrupted the gospel, according to them you can love the world and the things in the world and you can live in sin, the fact that you prayed 20 years ago will save you from hell and that is all you need to know.

11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

The people who receive that OSAS gospel perversion are slothful. They are not diligent, they are not walking everyday in faith in order to patiently inherit the promises. No they want instant salvation, make a prayer 20 years ago and that is it, nothing else to know about or do. That is what Satan wants believers to think, don't expose him, don't wrestle with principalities and powers, simply continue to live in sin and leave him alone.

13 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself, 14 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.

This promise wasn't instantaneous. This is like the guy who was counseling Tom Brady in college. Tom complained that he was only getting five minutes with the offense while the other quarterback was getting the rest of the practice. The guy counseled him to make those five minutes the best five minutes. It was that attitude that guided Brady to continually improve and make the most of whatever he is given and to not think more highly of himself than he ought. Because of that he was blessed immensely in his career and even multiplied. People have argued that he had two and maybe even three Hall of Fame careers.

15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.

But this did not happen overnight. He barely got drafted, barely made the team, and even after an incredible career was accused of being a cheat, slandered and insulted. It wasn't until after deflategate, after the win against the Falcons, and even after the win against three hall of fame quarterbacks when he won the superbowl with Tampa that "he obtained the promise" to be blessed and multiplied.

Rapture Confirmations & SERIOUS WARNING to Scoffers & Mockers! Plus HOW Joel 2:31 Darkness Happens
 
Hebrews 7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;

The problem is that the Levitical priesthood does not perfect anyone. This book is presenting the priesthood of Melchisedec as the shadow of the Lord's priesthood which does perfect us. Notice that Abraham, the father of faith, meets Melchisedec after his victory in "spiritual" warfare. Granted, Abraham was involved in physical warfare, but I understand this as being a type of spiritual warfare for Christians.

2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

Three things, this shows that Melchisedec was greater than father Abraham. Who could that depict other than Jesus Christ? Second, the name means King of Peace, again who can that depict other than Jesus Christ.

3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

Also He is depicted as being eternal, again only Jesus Christ.

4 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. 5 And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: 6 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

This proves that this priesthood which is a shadow of the priesthood of Jesus Christ, is greater than the Levitical priesthood of the Jewish religion.

7 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. 8 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

A tithe is a form of worship. When you tithe you are making a statement that everything you have belongs to God, it is His, and therefore He will protect it and watch over it. Now the priests who receive these tithes will all die at some point, they are simply mortal men. Do you really want a dead man to be the one who is protecting you? But we give tithes to the Lord Jesus who lives, He has conquered death, a much better person to be trusting in to protect you.

9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. 10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.

Think about that, the Jews are giving tithes to the Levitical priesthood so that they can be right with God and be blessed. But the Levitical priesthood gave tithes to the priesthood of Melchisedek so that they can be right with God and be blessed!

11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

So this is the problem, there is no perfection by the Levitical priesthood. That priesthood was basically treading water so that on a year by year basis you could be atoned with God, but you were waiting for the real deal to come. So obviously the Lord does not come in the pattern of the Levitical priesthood, He came in the pattern of the priesthood of Melchisedek and this priesthood can result in perfection, making us like Father Abraham, a man whose prayers are effective at defeating the enemy.

12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

This is why the expression we are no longer under the law is too simple. We are no longer under the levitical priesthood and all their laws. We are now under a new priesthood, the priesthood of Melchisedek, the King of Peace, and under His laws.
 
Revelation 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

I like this word "fulfilled". The first time it is used is in Matthew 1 to say that many things were done to fulfill the word of God. It means to render full or to make complete, but as a fulfillment of prophecy it means that the prophecy is not complete until the event takes place.

They accuse Charlie of spewing hate, but let's take a look at Stephen

Act 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. 52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers: 53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.

Stephen told them what they didn't want to hear, it wasn't hate, it was the word of God. It is important to tell people what the sin is, that gives them a legitimate chance to repent.

54 When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth.

We think the people today are acting demonic, but is it really any different? I am wondering as others are as well, if Charlie being martyred fulfills the church age and all those martyred starting with Stephen.

The New Covenant

In this chapter we are told that God made a new covenant with us and the mere fact that there is a new covenant indicates the Old covenant is old and near to passing away. Therefore it is a crucial chapter in understanding what this means because the OSAS crowd will tell you that we are not under the law (true) and that the law is passing away (true) but that is only half the story, a half truth is often the best way to lie.

Hebrews 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; 2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

Yes, the old covenant is passing away along with their high priest. But that is because God has replaced the Old covenant with a New Covenant. We still have a high priest, however he is a minister of the true tabernacle. The Jewish high priest is a minister of the shadow of the true tabernacle that is on earth. Our High priest is set on the right hand of the throne of the majesty, the Jewish high priest is set on the right hand of the earthly throne. In other words our picture books we had in first grade have been replaced with the real books we had in fourth grade.

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.

If you have a thanksgiving to make that is a gift, it is not required. However, if you are reconciling for sin, that is a sacrifice, it is required, there is a price to pay. We are not talking about works salvation, the only price that will pay for your sins is the blood of Jesus. However, if your sin is that you stole $1,000 after confessing, repenting and taking the blood of Jesus you then need to pay back the money you stole. For example, no one might have known you stole the money but then you walk into the police station, make a full confession and give them $2,000, that is according to the law and it would be a testimony to all that the Lord has given you a new heart.

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: 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.

This is what kills me. Is the old covenant being done away? Yes. However, the Old Covenant was a pattern of and a shadow of the heavenly things. So the shadow is being done away because we now have the reality. The Jewish High priest is a shadow of Jesus who was to come, but now that He has come, they are obviously being done away with. We are not under the shadow because now we are under the real deal.

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.

Jesus is the mediator of a better covenant. What does that mean? Take our example of the guy who stole $1,000, came to Jesus, confessed, repented, took the blood and was forgiven. It was Jesus in him telling him he needed to pay that money back and that it needed to be $2,000. The man may not have understood why, only that with inflation and everything else it would not have been right to just give them $1,000. However this is the law in the Old testament for people who were not caught but wanted to repent.

7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

The fault with the first covenant was that people didn't repent. They still had an evil heart. As far as they were concerned they got away with it.

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: 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. 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: 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.

So then did the law really pass away? Jesus Christ is the incarnated word of God. In the New Testament Jesus Christ indwells us. Our new heart has the laws of God written on them. The reason the "Law" is passing away and we are not under it is because it is weak. It was ineffective. People knew what the ten commandments were, but violated them anyway. But when they are written on your heart it is different. If you do violate them, which of course sinners by nature will, your heart will bother you. It will convict you. Ultimately you will realize the only way you can enjoy peace that passes all understanding and the knowledge surpassing love of Christ is if you deal with that sin. Some people will continue to ignore their conscience and it will become scarred, insensitive, and ultimately dead. But for most believers they will choose to obey their conscience. That is the New Testament, that is what it means to be under grace. In the Old Covenant if you violate the law there is a penalty, a price to pay. In the New Covenant if you violate the law you are cut off from grace, dealing with sin results in a reward because you are then restored to grace.

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 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.

So, the answer is no.. No, we have NEVER in the history of watching and waiting EVER been here before. From men, women and children receiving dreams, visions and visitations all across this entire Earth regarding ONE particular day (September 23rd) To a PERFECT 2,550 day count starting on Yom Teruah 2025 ending on Atonement 2032 EXACTLY 2,000 years from the death burial and Resurrection of Jesus bridging perfectly the age of Grace and Daniel's 70th week. Lastly and most importantly, people are getting saved and the Faith of believers has increased SO MUCH!! During these final days, pay no attention to the Mockers and Scoffers.. Draw close to Jesus..He will come get us at His appointed time!
