The apostle Paul reaffirmed the
end of the Atonement covenant with its Levitical priesthood and the
associated sacrifices with an unbreakable new covenant that was made
between God the Father and God the Son. This second covenant would
not only benefit Israel, but all the nations of the earth, and would
require a new birth.
The Bible predicts that there will be a temple in Jerusalem during
the Tribulation times but it will be built for the Antichrist. Paul
was already dead when the revelation was given to the apostle John.
Since most Christian Zionists believe this temple will be of God,
they will also have to reject the teaching in book of Hebrews which
clearly states that Jesus became the last sacrifice, preferring to
believe instead that God has a special plan for the Jews.
Furthermore, they will have a hard time believing how this world
ruler and "friend of Israel" could be evil? Shortly thereafter the
Man of Sin will introduce an economic system that will be touted as
secure because of its use of the microchip to avoid identity theft
and fraud. To receive such a chip, each person will have to
voluntarily swear allegiance to the Antichrist.
The future is not yet here and God needs believers to be stand up
and proclaim the truth. The deception will be strong and it is
crucial for Christians to understand the doctrine presented in the
book of Hebrews. |
