Shalom Marc,
Yes, the study gets into some very deep material. I probably should have warned you ahead of time. And yes, I can definitely recommend the "Redemption in TaNaK" series. I haven't listened to all of it, but what I did listen to was very good.
Shalom, Natanel

Yes Natanel extremely deep. The audience at that present time would have understood what the writer was implying. Not like myself where it's taking extreme rigorous study because of not a good and complete understanding of the TaNaKh. I'm not ready to go into rigorous study like that. But at least I got some good basic understanding of the why the Epistle was written, the Hebraic style, and that it's not to stop believers "re-lapsing" into Judaism.

Natanel just started listening to the study and I'm glad that I did.
Lot of excellent understanding which will lead and keep me in the TaNaKh.
Allowing me to "look" at it all FROM the TaNaKh and not the opposite if that makes sense.

I know that this is a very old thread however I wanted to open it up again. Only because I have questions of my own with regards to the book of Hebrews. Like MPossoff I have a hard time understanding the book of Hebrews and the books of Romans. All other books in the bible no issues. Just these two books and not sure why. However with that being stated I didn't find much here in this thread of very deep study and what Hebrews really entailed. This is just my thinking. Also for me time is a concern and other issues so I am unable to study as I would love to.
Now here are my thoughts thus far. From my understanding no one knows exactly who wrote the book of Hebrews. Some argue that it was Paul, others say Apollos, while others say someone else. In all honesty God knows who wrote the letter to the Hebrews.
My other understanding is the concern addressed here was the laws in the temple. With regards to animal sacrifices, what the duty of the high priest were and so on. However my belief is that the writer was zoning in on Yeshua being our High Priest forever. Some believe that the letter was written in 67-69 AD. And that yes they were still doing animal sacrifices in the Temple of God. It was in 70 AD when the temple was destroyed. That is when all of that changed where they no longer did the animal sacrifices and so forth. Did God ordain this to happen to take away from the sacrifices and direct our eyes to His Son Yeshua? I believe so.
The writer also stated that the animal sacrifices were for sins, day after day, year after year. When the people brought their offerings before God they were reminded of their sins each and every time. It was also stated in Hebrews that the sin offering did nothing. It was not perfect. But Yeshua Himself offered Himself as the perfect offering and the High Priest. His Father agreed.
So here are my questions.
If Yeshua became the Passover Lamb, why would we need to continue with animal sacrifices? If Yeshua became the everlasting and one time High Priest, why would we need to continue with the animal sacrifices? Why would we want to have earthly men as high Priests? If Yeshua did away with sin once and for all why continue with the animal sacrifices? It would be foolish.
For if one were to continue doing the animal sacrifices would you not be crucifying Christ all over again? Was not Yeshua good enough?

For if one were to continue doing the animal sacrifices would you not be crucifying Christ all over again? Was not Yeshua good enough? Moriah Ruth My understanding is that continued sacrifices when there is a Temple in Jerusalem always looked to Yeshua. He was not the "final sacrifice" as we were all taught in church. Yeshua was the ONLY sacrifice. When an animal is sacrificed, it is a vivid demonstration of the price of sin. Done before Yeshua these sacrifices looked forward to Him. Done after the Crucifixion they look back to that work done by Him. It is recorded in scripture that Rav Sha'ul twice was involved in the Nazarine vow after his conversion. This required several animal sacrifices. So sacrifices were not done away with; it is simply not possible because there is no Temple.
And sin has not yet been done away with. Miserable wretch that I am, I sin on a daily basis (I am getting better though! ) Sin has been conquered, but it is very much still with us.
As to continuing the animal sacrifices when the Temple is rebuilt crucifying Christ over again, I'd say no more than scarifying them in the TNK crucified Him before His time.

Let me think on this before I answer foolishly.
