Sacrifice Law

All instructions (Torah/commands) should be now written on our hearts as a believer in Yahusha (Jesus) according to Hebrews 8:10 “Because this is the covenant that I shall make with the house of Israel after those days, says Yahuah, giving My laws in their mind, and I shall write them on their hearts, and I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people. This verse comes straight out of the New Testament which actually is still the same covenant Father made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel). Read the above verse again it says a covenant with the house of Israel (Jacob).

The following Old Testament verses tells us that Yahuah always wanted His laws (Words) written on our hearts. Deuteronomy 6:6 “And these Words which I am commanding you today shall be in your heart,... Deuteronomy 11:18 ‘And you shall lay up these Words of Mine in your heart and in your being,.. Deuteronomy 30:14 “For the Word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart – to do it. Isaiah 51:7 “Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, a people in whose heart is My Torah (law): do not fear the reproach of men, nor be afraid of their revilings. Jeremiah 31:33 “For this is the covenant I shall make with the house of Israel (Jacob) after those days, declares Yahuah: I shall put My Laws (Torah/Word) in their inward parts, and write it on their hearts. And I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people.

Yahuah declares "after those days the laws will be written on their hearts!" After what days? To understand this verse written in Hebrews 8:10, you first need to understand what happened in the so called Old Testament before you can ever understand Hebrews chapter 8. After those days, I believe is when Messiah was here on earth, and went back to heaven to become the High Priest, taking the responsibility back from the Levitical priesthood. Messiah Yahusha (Jesus) paid the price, once and for all, not to be done again. His offering was once and never to be done again. Below is Hebrew chapter 8;

Now the summary of what we are saying is: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Greatness in the heavens, and who serves in the set-apart place and of the true Tent, which Yahuah set up, and not man. For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and slaughters. So it was also necessary for this One to have somewhat to offer. For if indeed He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the Torah, who serve a copy and shadow of the heavenly, as Moses was warned when he was about to make the Tent. For He said, “See that you make all according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.” But now He has obtained a more excellent service, inasmuch as He is also Mediator s of a better covenant, which was constituted on better promises.  For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. For finding fault with them, He says, “See, the days are coming,” says Yahuah, “when I shall conclude with the house of Israel and with the house of Yahudah (Judah) a renewed covenant, not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them,” says Yahuah. “Because this is the covenant that I shall make with the house of Israel after those days, says Yahuah, giving My laws in their mind, and I shall write them on their hearts, and I shall be their Elohim, and they shall be My people. “And they shall by no means teach each one his neighbour, and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know Yahuah,’ because they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. “Because I shall forgive their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawlessnesses I shall no longer remember.” By saying, ‘renewed,’ He has made the first old. Now what becomes old and growing aged is near disappearing. (taken from ISR but you can read from KJV or NKJV).

Laws that changed, not removed but changed is the offering (sacrificing) laws. Messiah has taken the offerings upon Himself. The offering laws are still in place but now Messiah does them in our place.

No longer do we have to offer blood of lambs (animals) for our sins as the Messiah who was crucified at Passover, shed His blood in place of a lamb and He became the lamb.

In John 1:36 John the baptize said that the Messiah is the lamb.

Revelation 19:7, 9, 21:9, 14, 22, 23, 27, 22:1 and 3 Messiah is called the lamb in all these verses.

Messiah has taken the place as our High Priest for us to be able to speak to Heavenly Father - Hebrew 9:11.

Hebrew 9:12-14 says that Messiah has taken the place of animals for the offering of blood.

Hebrew 9:18-23 talks about the old way of offering and from verse 24-28 is about the new way of offering.

Hebrew 10:16 Yahuah says that the covenant that I make with them after those days, giving My laws into their hearts and in their minds I shall write them (not a different covenant but a better covenant). Confirmed from Hebrews 8:10.

Verse 18-19 Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer a slaughter offering for sins. So, Brothers, having boldness to enter into the Set-Apart Place (Holy Place) by the blood of Messiah.

So, do we still have to celebrate Passover even though Messiah fulfilled it?

Exodus 12: says the Passover is a everlasting feast. Today we no longer do any rituals or offering (Messiah has done it once for us and now it is complete) but we acknowledge this day as Yahuah said in Leviticus 23 this feast (Passover) is His set apart (Holy) feast forever and Messiah Yahusha (Jesus) was their when this was spoken.
