The Sacrifices for Sins

The OT sacrifices can never take away sins (Heb 10:11), neither can they make man perfect (Heb 10:1)
- foreshadowed the slaying of the Lamb of God
- temporary appeased God, and have sins forgiven
- but lacked the power to overcome sins

The sacrifice of Christ, once and for all, have perfected those who believed (Heb 10:12-14)
- foreshadowing being in the presence of the Lamb once slain
- gives power of His resurrection to overcome sins, freed us from the bondage
- but lacks the complete eradication of sins

This sacrifice for sins will have its fullness and finality when He comes again (Heb 8:11). And there will be no more remembrance of sins, nor the need for any sin offering (Heb 10:18)
- the complete fulfillments of the OT foreshadows and the NT absence of the Lord bodily
- the bodily presence of the Lord eradicates sins totally 
- no more remembrance of sins, neither is there a need of the sin offering! 
- sins forgotten

Praise the Lord!

Coming of the Lord

The Lord will come even before all places are evangelised. Really?  1. The Lord said so (Mat 10:23) 2. The fullest of the Gentile (Rom 11:25) is the number of Gentiles to be saved which no one knows and it should be reaching its quota soon 3. God has given other witnesses like His creation (Rom 1:20) and man's conscience (Rom 2:15)
