Hebrews 9:1-10 - The Tabernacle as a Foreshadow of the Messiah
From chapter 9:1-10 on the study of the Book of Hebrews (אֶל־הָעִבְרִים), brother Gideon Levytam explains the limitations of the earthly Tabernacle in approaching God. The earthly Tabernacle along with all of its ordinances was given to Israel by God under the Mosaic covenant,, as a picture of the way to approach Him. The sacrifices which were offered could never provide a perfect conscience, because external, outward, and carnal ordinances cannot ease the needs of the conscience. Therefore, in His wisdom and foreknowledge, God, using the earthly Tabernacle, pointed His people to the person of the Messiah. Who would come, and through His death and resurrection, become the final sacrifice for sins.

Romans 2:17-29 - The Heart of Circumcision
From Chapter 2:17-29 of the study of the Book of Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִיִּים), brother Gideon Levytam continues with Paul’s instruction regarding God’s dealing with sinful humanity. In these verses Paul directs our attention to the privileges and the responsibilities that his people Israel have towards God, who gave them His Holy Law, the Torah. God gave His Law to the jewish people, and therefore, they are more responsible than the gentiles who had not received God’s Holy Law. Through His Law, God sought to bring about an inward change in the heart of His people Israel, causing them to recognize their weakness and cling to Him for mercy, grace, and forgiveness. By having circumcised hearts, Israel could be an example, and a light to the people of the world who were in darkness.

Malachi 2:1-9 - The Priests' Responsibility is to Keep the Knowledge of God
From the study on the Book of Malachi (מַלְאָכִֽי), chapter 2:1-9, brother Gideon Levytam directs us to God's appeal to the priests of Israel. Using the prophet Malachi, God addresses their sad spiritual state and departing from Himself. In His charge, God warned the spiritual leaders saying; If ye will not hear and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, I will even send a curse upon you. The priests' privileges and responsibilities were to keep the knowledge of God, and to seek His Word, being messengers of the LORD to His people.

Hebrews 8:7-13 - The New Covenant With the House of Israel and Judah
From chapter 8:7-13 on the study of the Book of Hebrews (אֶל־הָעִבְרִים), brother Gideon Levytam recounts the author's explanation as to why God had to establish a New Covenant with His people Israel. The Mount Sinai covenant was a conditional covenant, and sadly it was broken because of sin. No-one could keep God’s Holy Covenant because all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Man-kind broke God’s Holy Law, and because we have inherited a sin nature, we have failed to submit completely to God’s perfect holy demands. In His wisdom and grace, God made a promise saying. Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah. Jeremiah 31:31. This New Covenant would not be based on people's ability to keep God’s Holy Law, but rather upon the death, burial, and resurrection of the promised Messiah who was to come. Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah fulfilled God's Word, becoming a sacrifice for the sin of the world, and through His own death and resurrection, established the New Covenant with His shed blood.
