Understanding Hebrews:
The Continuation, Not the Cancellation

The Book of Hebrews is often misunderstood. Some interpret it as a rejection of the Old Testament or a dismissal of the Torah. But a closer reading reveals something far richer and more profound: Hebrews is not about replacing the old—it’s about revealing the eternal purpose that began in Genesis.

A Fulfilled, Not Abolished, Covenant

Far from abolishing the Torah, Hebrews elevates the Messiah—Yeshua (Jesus)—to His rightful place as the high priest of a better covenant. This covenant isn’t “better” because it replaces the old one, but because it builds upon it, fulfilling its promises with greater clarity, deeper intimacy, and eternal impact.

Yeshua’s role isn’t to discard the law but to embody it, as He stated in Matthew 5:17:

“Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.”

The word “fulfill” here means to complete, to give full meaning—not to render obsolete.

Not a New Religion, But the Next Chapter

Hebrews doesn’t introduce a new religion. It continues the story that began with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the nation of Israel. It’s not about starting over; it’s about moving forward—a divine progression from shadow to substance, from earthly types to heavenly realities.

To truly grasp the message of Hebrews, one must understand:

• The priesthood – especially the contrast between the Levitical priesthood and the eternal priesthood of Melchizedek.
• The tabernacle – the earthly pattern pointing to the heavenly sanctuary.
• The covenants – not discarded, but fulfilled and deepened through Yeshua.
• The role of Israel – still central to God’s redemptive plan.

The Heart of Redemption

Yeshua didn’t die to replace Israel. He died to redeem them—to bring restoration, not substitution. The promises made to Israel still stand, now illuminated by the Messiah who embodies their fulfillment.

Conclusion: A Call to Reconsider Hebrews

It’s time to approach Hebrews with fresh eyes and open hearts. This book doesn’t cancel the foundation laid in the Torah—it crowns it. It’s not a rupture; it’s a revelation. And when understood correctly, Hebrews becomes one of the most powerful testimonies to the unity and continuity of God’s eternal plan.
