19-25 (the Day) with this passage
If we
“If” condition
Author includes himself once again in the warning...
Go on sinning deliberately
Go on sinning reveals a patterned, ongoing-present lifestyle rather than a single instance - specifically abandoning Christ and the gathering of the saints not failure to fulfill the old covenant
Deliberately/willfully/intentionally - reveals a heart that is opposed to God
After receiving the knowledge of the truth
Conversion - embracing Christ, repenting of sin
There is no longer remains a sacrifice for sins
They’ve abandoned the only sacrifice that could save them from the wrath of God on “the Day”
But a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.

***Lesser to Greater than argument - Physical death for rejecting the Mosaic Covenant to Final Judgment for rejecting the Christ/New Covenant***
Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses.
How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God,
Trampled underfoot the Son of God
An act of utter contempt against Jesus mocking the giver of grace and mercy
God promised to put all things under Christ’s feet, but these individual has sought to put Christ under their feet
And has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace?
Profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified
This refers to the blood of Christ that inaugurates the new covenant
Has outraged the Spirit of grace
Outraged
The person’s outrageous behavior driven by hubris/pride
Spirit of grace
Divine judgment that will be issued at “the Day” is not driven by an abusive God, but human pride
Hebrews 10:30-31 - Vengeance Belongs to God
For we know him who said,
We know him
They are fully aware of the grace of God AND God’s negative attitude towards those who reject Him and live in sin
“Vengeance is mine; I will repay.”
A warning is given by the author from the Song of Moses
And again, “The Lord will judge his people.”
God will bring judgment upon His own
Notice, once again as the other warnings, these individuals HAVE NOT FALLEN AWAY - this is a warning issued encouraging them to persevere in truth faith!
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
In context here, falling into God’s hands is one of judgment
Those who reject salvation will receive their due judgment - eternal death
