Hebrews 10:1 For the law.(the Old Testament.Mosaic Law with all its so many laws, rules, regulations, rites, sacrifices and offerings is now defunct; how many were there?) having a shadow of good things to come and not the very image of the things, could never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually, make the comers thereunto perfect.

Comprised with.Clarke's Commentary:.It was never God's will and design that the sacrifices under the Mosaic Law God initiated, should be considered as making atonement for sin. The purpose of them was to point out the incarnation.of.Christ into the physical body of Emmanuel and His physical body's consequent.sacrificial death:.Hebrews 7:19,22: 8:6. This covered the transgressions that were committed in old covenant times, covered them until Christ came.

Hebrews 10:2 For then.(if it had been that way).would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

No more conscience of guilt over having sinned, because what Christ did is do much better than man feeling guilty over what he may have done that was wrong.

Comprised with.Adam Clarke's Commentary:.that is, his conscience would be satisfied that its guilt had been taken away, but offerings/sacrifices continued, because they knew back then that such oblations pointed out that which was to come and so they were offered therefore, not in consideration of their own efficacy, but as referring to what was to come, Christ;.Eclectic Notes:."the constant repetition of these sacrifices proves that their effect is only temporary; they cannot possibly bring about a lasting, adequate relationship to God. One who needs a fresh offering or a fresh application of the blood to cleanse him, is not purged once for all."; believe in the power of the single application:.Hebrews 9:28; if you may be still of the mind you are in sin, having such faults as may weigh you down, it shows that the power of your belief is lacking (Hebrews 1:3; 7:27; 10:10,12; Mark 9:24) regarding looking at those thing not as God does; God looks on you seeing not your faults, instead seeing only the blood of Emmanuel Christ that eradicated them, so why should you think less of yourself that God does of you? Well, people do think less of themselves than God does of them, because they see their faults as bigger than the incredible gift of God in Christ that took all of your life's negatives, whether past, present or any future ones, away for all time.

Hebrews 10:3 But in those sacrifices there was a remembrance again made of sins every year.

Hebrews 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away.(original is 'cut off', 'remove').sins.

Hebrews 10:5.Wherefore when Christ came into the world, he said.(Psalms 40:6-8), Sacrifice and offering the Father doesn't want.(Mark 12:33), because a body my Father has prepared for me.

The body comprises those called to be in it and they are those of humanity and some of those of mankind, forgiven for eternity, like all beings who look to Christ, analogy being that of the strangers, being those not of the ancient nation of Israel but wanting to be. About the 'strangers' in the Old Testament writings:.Leviticus 19:34; Deuteronomy 25:5. God turns away none that want Him, ever. Once saved, always saved and when was this?.2Timothy 1:9. Problem is many saved don't know they have been, so, they need yet to come to God. That's why it's important to tactfully.reach out to others.

Romans 12:4,5; 1Corinthians 6:17; 10:17; 12:12-22; 12:27; Ephesians 4:4; 4:12,13; Colossians 1:18,24.

Emmanuel's broken body (Isaiah 52:14; 53:2-12) was the sacrifice, a gift. Not like the sacrifices and offerings of Old Testament times as they would no longer be wanted nor needed, because Emmanuel's body was the ultimate for all time sacrifice, needed only once (1Peter 3:18), a gift that would open the door for perfection of individuals, a body of believers.(*). Original for."have you prepared".is the word 'perfect', that is, those spiritually with Him would be perfect. How?.From.Psalms 40:6.

Hebrews 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you have had no pleasure.

Why the true God of all love doesn't need this? Does the Creator God of all creations need you to kill one of his creatures and burn it to offer a 'pleasing' sacrifice to him? Nope!.Mark 12:33.

So, was the Mosaic Law any good at all?.Galatians 3:10.

Hebrews 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come, in the volume of the words in the book that is written of me.(Psalms 40:7), to do your will, O God.

Because the old way of sacrifices and offerings, etc. was not pleasing the God the Father. It was never God's will, God's heart. Christ came to do what really has always been God's will. And what was that?.1John 4:10-16.

Hebrews 10:8 Above.(translators could have used the word 'before' as the original word is an anacoluthon).when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin you would not.(God didn't want anything to do with the Old Testament various things), neither had pleasure therein which are offered by the law;

Robertson Word Pictures: Christ speaking as in verse 5 speaking of the Father higher up than he. Like your family is all one family, but your dad is the head of it.

Hebrews 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do your will, O God. He takes away the first, that he may establish the second.

Hebrews 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do your will.(it was God's plan that the old covenant would be abolished:.John 1:17; Romans 6:15; 8:2; Hebrews 7:19,28; 10:1-9; and it was abolished in 70 A.D.), O God. He takes away the first, that he may establish the second.

Hebrews 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Emmanuel Christ once for all.

Words 'for all' not in original; means Emmanuel's sacrifice was never necessary again, as it was that good and that all encompassing.

Hebrews 10:11 And every priest stands daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

1Corinthians 11:27.

Hebrews 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice.(original 'killing', a killing of himself; a difference between 'sacrifice' and killing).for sins forever.(*), sat down on the right hand of God.

He came and died as a gift (Romans 5:15) to free all humanity from death:.Romans 5:12; 6:23; 1Corinthians 15:55.

Hebrews 10:13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering.(Christ's sacrifice).he has perfected holiness continually.

That is, perfected holiness from now on for all humanity thanks to what he did.(Isaiah 52:14).by coming to Earth and being crucified, so all humanity could have access directly to God, how?.Colossians 1:12.

Hebrews 10:15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us; for after that he had said before,

Hebrews 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord, I will put my laws.(what laws were these? {Matthew 22:36-40} and then, why not these or these Old Testament ones?).into their hearts and in their minds will I write them.

Jeremiah 31:33.

Hebrews 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

So, does sin even count any longer? And, if God won't remember them, why do some of us hold onto guilt?

Hebrews 10:18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

It's done, it's over; once was enough and for all time and for anyone:.Hebrews 9:28. Sin now no longer spiritually counts.

Hebrews 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Emmanuel.

And not by a symbol of that redemption as some religions have it.

Hebrews 10:20 By a new and living way, which he has consecrated.for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh.

It was our fleshly existence that kept this covering, this vail.(2Corinthians 3:16), covering us up from the truth. Emmanuel gave up his fleshly existence to help us:.Isaiah 52:14; Romans 5:7-21; 8:14,15; Galatians 4:6. 

It's saying that in Christ, the veil keeping us from our true reality in God, is gone. The veil of negativity we've been under (Revelation 12:9), as Adam also was so long before us and passed that on to his posterity, is now torn down:.Colossians 2:13,14. 

Now the 'veil' of Christ in the one we know as Emmanuel or Jesus, His flesh was destroyed and this opened the way out of negativity for all accepting what He had done as being true and wanting that applicable to them, so that veil was torn away:.2Corinthians 3:16. Now we can be close to the Father that Emmanuel came to reveal. Doesn't say after you die and then 'by a new and living way' which comes, as some religions believe, when one goes to heaven, which one  doesn't. It says the new living way He made possible through Him. Not a new dying way where you go to heaven, but His actual redemption of us today:.2Corinthians 6:2.

It wasn't by means of keeping what some religions say is a symbol of redemption, it was by means of His body (1Peter 2:24) that we have access to the Father-Creator:.Romans 5:1,2; Galatians 4:7; Ephesians 2:18.

Hebrews 10:21 And having a high priest over the house of God;

Hebrews 10:22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, knowing our hearts have already been sprinkled and our bodies washed with pure water, which things take us away from an evil conscience.

Hebrews 10:22 Let us draw near.(it's a free choice').with a true heart.(it's a spiritual thing; 'draw near':.James 4:8).in.full assurance of faith, knowing our hearts have already.(that is, those to whom Paul was speaking were already in a state of knowing {2Timothy 1:9} that their hearts are clean thanks to what Christ came and did and that they are sincere).been sprinkled and our bodies washed.(*).with pure water.(John 4:10,14; 7:38), which things take us away from.(original for 'from' is 'a state of separation').an evil conscience.(Romans 8:1,2).

Water is akin to the spirit, that is, once in higher consciousness living your entire being becomes bathed in it. Good to get a daily wash by meditating, studying, etc. Well then, what about baptism?.Hebrews  6:1,2.

Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering, for he is faithful that promised.

Hebrews 12:2.

Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works.

Matthew 9:13; 18:19,20.

Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together.(good to get together with others; key to good relationships; Romans 15:5; Philippians 2:2;.Commander Thor in his book.Outwitting Tomorrow."stop dissipation in your social life"), as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another and so much the more as you see the day approaching.

What day back then would this have been?

By getting together with others, a closeness and caring is generated.."I know it is good that people know how to pour out their hearts. How nice it is when people have found each other in order to complement and support each other."....Bruno Gröning.

Fellowship:.1John 1:3.

Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins,

Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin willfully.(means intentionally, that is, in full knowledge of what we are doing; willfully is, as opposed to sins committed inconsiderately; one can sin and not have knowledge he is doing so and that's really an offense, for example you hurt someone's feelings, not intending to; but willingly means, you know it's wrong, say to sabotage another or to steal, rape, hurt, hate, murder and be deceitful and even though you know it's wrong, but because of a warped sense of selfish advantage and perhaps dislike, you do it anyway; you have caused a hurt on purpose).after that we have received the knowledge of the truth.(one's awakening to the truth of his existence), there remains no more.(original for 'no more' is 'no further', meaning no other, meaning that's it, there ain't no more, no one else who'll come along but He who has already come along).sacrifice for sins.

Christ's one gift was good for all people and for all time and it works again and again and again:.Hebrews 9:25,26,28).(?) We see this of God throughout the Old Testament, where over and over and over again God's mercy to those wanting it, was always there.

The verse is speaking of those who know they have done evil on purpose and not caring to effectively believe the blood of Christ could take it away that evil, instead disdaining it. And another equally perplexing.passage:.Hebrews 6:4-6.

Hebrews 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment.(Revelation 20:12).and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

If you lack having the boldness of faith.(verses 19,20,22 above and verse 35 below and also.Ephesians 3:12.and.1John 4:17) from believing in what Christ did to eradicate sin and the fear of retribution that accompanies it, what are you left with? If you lack it, get it (Matthew 7:7) and get going in life). The amazing movie.The Grand Self.is very helpful towards this.

Hebrews 10:28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses.

Those back then that were bad in their actions were worthy of death. Barnes Notes: In all cases the offender against the law of Moses died without mercy only where offenses were so bad. What were these offenses?.Deuteronomy 13:6-10.

Hebrews 10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy who has trodden under foot the Son of God and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

Closer to the original: Hebrews 10:29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy who has trodden under foot the Son of God.(how does one do this? you don't want have a mind of betrayal to God, as ancient Judas got sucked into:.Mark 14:21).and has counted the blood of.(1Corinthians 11:23-26).the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing and has done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

Note on punishment: Paul is saying in verses 26-31 that one who is saying we trod Christ under foot by purposely avoiding to follow what Christ has done for us, that is, not caring one way or the other about it all. Discounting in our personal lives the result of the reason He came to Earth in the first place, is trodding underfoot the Son of God:.John 3:16,17. It's the same as rejecting Christ by following the unloving ways of low consciousness:.Matthew 25:35-45; Romans 9:23,24; 1Corinthians 11:22-29..

One way of doing despite unto the spirit of grace is to continue confessing one's sins, when all sins for all time have already been looked after and this having been looked after puts an individual into the category of being incorruptible.

Hebrews 10:30 For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs unto me.(2Thessalonians 1:6), I will recompense, says God. And again, God judges his people.(it's God that judges us and has done that already).

Where was this said?.Deuteronomy 32:35. All people are God's people; just that, at this time most don't know it and specifically it means those who do know Him and, how does He judge?

Hebrews 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

And one can be in His hands and be unaware of why some things are happening, as was ancient Paul.

Hebrews 10:34 For you had compassion of me in my bonds and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that you have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.

Heaven is the invisible realm of the soul:.1John 4:17 "...as he is, so are we in this world."

Hebrews 10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence.(don't be discouraged and give up on your faith and hope because you have given so much to help out and things may still be rough; hang in there), which has great recompence of reward.

2Corinthians 9:6; Hebrews 13:8.

Hebrews 10:36 For you have need of patience, that, after.(when after?).you have done the will of God, you might receive the promise,

What promise?.1John 2:25.

Hebrews 10:37 For yet a little while and he that shall.(words 'he that shall' not in original).come will come.(that which is coming will come).and will not tarry.

It won't be delayed. You'll have it when its needed. The scripture, considering its context, means to be patient in your good works of helping with what you can and that which you need and want in order to continue in those works, will come without delay. How does this work then?

Hebrews 10:38 Now the just live by faith. But if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure.(not pleased because of not being in alignment with love).in him.

Because one is then moving out of alignment with Creator-God.

Hebrews 10:39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition, but of them that believe that they have already been saved.

Hebrews 10:39 But we are not of them who draw back.(go backwards).unto perdition.(a destructive pathway of thinking and living, the low consciousness ego level is mostly on a path of selfishness, deceit and destruction; those of destruction toward others are affecting themselves the same way; all sentient beings have free choice at all times, if not, how would our hearts be known to us), but of them that believe that they have already been saved.(and why would they believe that?.2Timothy 1:9; original for 'saving' is 'kept safe by', 'obtaining', 'purchasing', so 'obtain' your Soul's connection, wherein what it is that is the real you is secure in its future (Matthew 10:28) by avoiding it being overridden by your ego and allowing your life to be run by it; your life connected with the Soul is what changes it to joy).of the soul.
