It's the REAL Thing

Reminder that our goal is not a line by line discussion

It is an overview—to remove the fear of a rather complex book

With this as background, it’s easier to understand much of the OT as well

Merely Copies

The earthly tabernacle, then the temples, were copies of the true temple in Heaven

The earthly was purified regularly by blood of sacrifices

The Heavenly by the blood of Christ—done once for all time

End of the Ages

It’s not over yet

Christ ushered in the end

Galatians 4:4–5 ESV

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

1 John 3:5 ESV

You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.

But…It Will End

vv. 27-28

Jesus will return to judge

The final component of salvation—to be removed from the presence of sin

Philippians 3:20 ESV

But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

Further exploration, 1 Cor. 15-23-26

First advent was to bear sins

Isaiah 53:12 ESV

Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.

Judgment is Real…and Final

The ugly/beautiful reality of Heaven and Hell
