See the archived post, On The Use of Hebrews 6 for This Paper, to which this post is a continuation.
It is only possible to stand worthy of Mashiach as the Body of Mashiach, that is to say, as Messianic Israel. As Malkezadek was given tribute by Levi through Abraham so that Levi would be able to preserve the testimony of the firstborn, the testimony of Israel’s corporate redemption through the promise of the firstborn, that is, the seed of the woman, Mashiach, so we also in our generation must overcome our own participation in the sin of the golden calf by confession of the resurrected redeemer of Israel. This is corporate faith and testimony. This is the teaching of the Book of Hebrews which we will fully discover when we are ready to go on from the foundation of initial conversion to the level of those able to teach the nations all that the firstborn of Israel were meant to teach them.
>> so it is that it will be in this sense that the Book of Hebrews is read in these studies and in the paper
Let Us Go On
>> which will be written through the use of these studies as well as others like them.
