Todays study is focused towards the Nation of Israel
Titus 3:9
Hebrews 4:12; 7:17; 8; 9:16; 10; 10:9
O Nation of Israel, I bless you, not because of who you are, but because of Who God Is, and He has established you among the Nations, with an everlasting Covenant!
If there are among you, and the Levites, any who may be willing to take the time to read these passages of scriptures, shared from a Gentile, and heed their meanings within your hearts, I would consider this a personal favor. For we both serve the same God; The One True God of Israel.

Titus 3:9
"But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless."
2 Timothy 2:23
"But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife."
God has given each Tribe of Israel their duties, so what strife should there be amongst you? If you serve the same God, you are all apart of the same Covenant as well as the same inheritance promised by the God of Moses.
This is nothing new, for you Levites know the law more so than us Gentiles; And because you know the law, you know that whatever transgressions there exists, God will wipe clean, and not remember...
Isaiah 43:24-25
24"You have bought Me not sweet cane with money, Nor have you filled Me with the fat of your sacrifices; Rather you have burdened Me with your sins, You have wearied Me with your iniquities. 25"I, even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for My own sake, And I will not remember your sins.
Hebrews 4:12
"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
Matthew 5:17
17"Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.
How then can one deny the New Covenant God has established with Israel, and the world over, after thus knowing these things which follow:
Hebrews 5:5-6
5"So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him:
"You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You."
6As He also says in another place:
"You are a priest forever
According to the order of
Melchizedek";
Genesis 14:18-19
18And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of God Most High. 19He blessed him and said, "Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth;
Below again, we see the same statement mentioned in...
Hebrews 7:17
17For He testifies:
"You are a priest forever
According to the order of
Melchizedek."
...and again...
Hebrews 7:21
21(for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him:
"The Lord has sworn
And will not relent,
'You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek'"),
"But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless."
2 Timothy 2:23

Hebrews 8:1-4
1Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
2a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true Tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man.
3For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this One also have something to offer.
4For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law;
So what then was offered from the One, that God deemed necessary? The answer is this... A New Covenant!
Hebrews 7:22
22by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant.
If you remove the New Testament, does not the Old Testament still scream aloud the prophesies regarding the New?
Isaiah 7:14
14"Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel."
Isaiah 40:3
3A voice of one calling: "In the wilderness prepare the way for the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God."
Blessed be the God of Israel, who has declared the end from the beginning, Whom is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. The Aleph and the Tav!
Micah 5:2
2"But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Too little to be among the clans of Judah, From you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, From the days of eternity."
Matthew 2:1-2
1Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the King, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying,
2"Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him."

Hebrews 9:11-17
11But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.
12Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.
13For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh,
14how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
15And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
16For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
17For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives.
Hebrews 9:22
22And according to the law almost all things are purified with blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.
These next two verses alone, debunk Kabbalah's reincarnation theory...
Hebrews 9:27
27And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,
28so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.
Hebrews 10:8-9
8Previously saying, "Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them" (which are offered according to the law),
God no longer desired, nor had He pleasure in these sacrifices...
9then He said, "Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God." He takes away the first that He may establish the second.
Thus having taken away the first, no longer does the law require you to sacrifice as you have done in the days of old, because He has replaced the old covenant with the New Covenant whereby Jesus Christ became the Sacrificial Lamb for all.
If then you reject the New Covenant, having no old Law to fall back to, how will your sins be forgiven?
God no longer wants the old sacrifices, even should you reject the New. He has not said, 'those that wish to follow the New Covenant, obey this set of laws, and those that wish to remain in the Old Covenant, continue as you are doing'.

20by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,
