Hebrews 10 Pastor Martin Saine begins Hebrews 10, part 1, delves into the significance of Christ’s sacrifice and the inadequacy of previous sacrificial rituals. The chapter draws heavily from the Book of Revelation, depicting scenes from heaven and emphasizing the realness of the divine realm. It highlights the contrast between the temporary nature of earthly sacrifices, symbolized by the blood of bulls and goats, and the eternal redemption brought about by Christ’s sacrifice. The text emphasizes that Christ’s sacrifice, offered willingly according to God’s will, sanctifies believers once and for all, surpassing the limitations of past rituals. Through Christ’s obedience and sacrifice, believers are sanctified and brought into communion with God.

Heb 9:24  For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; 

See: Revelation 4 & 5

Rev 6:9  When He opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony which they held. 

Rev 6:10  And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” 

Rev 6:11  Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, was completed. 

Rev 7:13  Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” 

Rev 7:14  And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 

Rev 7:15  Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them. 

Rev 7:16  They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; 

Rev 7:17  for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” 

Rev 8:1  When He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 

Rev 8:2  And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. 

Rev 8:3  Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 

Rev 8:4  And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. 

Rev 8:5  Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightnings, and an earthquake.

Rev 11:17  saying: “We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty, The One who is and who was and who is to come, Because You have taken Your great power and reigned. 

Rev 11:18  The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth.” 

Rev 11:19  Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail. 

Rev 14:14  Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and on the cloud sat One like the Son of Man, having on His head a golden crown, and in His hand a sharp sickle. 

Rev 14:15  And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, “Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come for You to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe.” 

Rev 14:16  So He who sat on the cloud thrust in His sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped. 

Rev 14:17  Then another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. 

Rev 14:18  And another angel came out from the altar, who had power over fire, and he cried with a loud cry to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, “Thrust in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for her grapes are fully ripe.” 

Rev 14:19  So the angel thrust his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. 

Rev 14:20  And the winepress was trampled outside the city, and blood came out of the winepress, up to the horses’ bridles, for one thousand six hundred furlongs.

Rev 15:1  Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete. 

Rev 15:2  And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. 

Rev 15:3  They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: “Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints! 

Rev 15:4  Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You, For Your judgments have been manifested.” 

Rev 15:5  After these things I looked, and behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. 

Rev 15:6  And out of the temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, clothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands. 

Rev 15:7  Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God who lives forever and ever. 

Rev 15:8  The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power, and no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed. 

Rev 16:1  Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.” 

Rev 16:7  And I heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments.” 

Rev 16:17  Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!” 

Real Heaven.  Real Temple.  Real Throne.  Real angels, saints, martyrs.

Access???

Unbelievers will never see it…

Rev 20:7  Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison 

Rev 20:8  and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. 

Rev 20:9  They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them. 

Rev 20:10  The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. 

Rev 20:11  Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 

Rev 20:12  And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 

Rev 20:13  The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 

Rev 20:14  Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 

Rev 20:15  And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. 

Heb 9:24-25  For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us; not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood of another—alien, foreign, another man’s, another kind…

Son of God/Son of Man

Heb 9:26-28  He then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.  And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation. 

See: 2Ti 4:8  Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. 

Heb 10:1  For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect.

Heb 10:2  For then would they not have ceased to be offered? For the worshipers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 

By ordaining the sacrifice to be performed every year, God put a terminus on the value of those bulls and goats.

The yearly sacrifice was only valued for one year, and the people knew that!

Installments vs paid in full…

Heb 10:3  But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year.

Gal 3:21  Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. 

Gal 3:22  But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 

Gal 3:23  But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 

Gal 3:24  Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 

Gal 3:25  But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. 

Gal 3:26  For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 

Gal 3:27  For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 

Gal 3:28  There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 

Gal 3:29  And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. 

Heb 10:4  For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins. 

The blood of bulls and goats (foreign, another man’s, alien blood; i/e., NOT CHRIST’s) was not fit to take away sin.  The foreign blood could only serve as a reminder of their sin.

Heb 10:5-7  Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: “SACRIFICE AND OFFERING YOU DID NOT DESIRE, BUT A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME.  IN BURNT OFFERINGS AND SACRIFICES FOR SIN YOU HAD NO PLEASURE.  THEN I SAID, ‘BEHOLD, I HAVE COME— IN THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME— TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD.’ ” 

Psa 40:6  Sacrifice and offering You did not desire; My ears You have opened. (compare above…) Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require. 

Psa 40:7  Then I said, “Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me. 

Psa 40:8  I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart.”

See Isaiah 1:11-18 

Heb 10:8  Previously saying, “SACRIFICE AND OFFERING, BURNT OFFERINGS, AND OFFERINGS FOR SIN YOU DID NOT DESIRE, NOR HAD PLEASURE IN THEM” (which are offered according to the law), 

Twofold dissatisfaction:

1) Dissatisfied with the ritual aspect being performed without faith from a sincere heart.

2) Dissatisfied that the ritual sacrifices, even those done in faith from a sincere heart, were temporary and not able to satisfy the eternal redemption of those He loves.

Heb 10:9  then He said, “BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second. 

Mat 26:39  He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” 

Mat 26:40  Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? 

Mat 26:41  Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 

Mat 26:42  Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.” 

Heb 10:10  By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 

Christ needed a body in order to sacrifice Himself for mankind. 

His sacrifice had to be from a sincere heart, voluntary, willing, and obedient according to the Father’s will.

Php 2:5  Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 

Php 2:6  who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 

Php 2:7  but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 

Php 2:8  And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. 

Php 2:9  Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 

Php 2:10  that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 

Php 2:11  and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 

Having completed the Father’s will, He has sanctified the believers by offering Himself as a Sin Offering, once for all.
