We must go out to him, then, outside the camp, bearing the abuse he experienced.

For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. (Hebrews 13:13-14)

by Brian Shilhavy

This is my third article resulting from my recent deep dive into the New Testament book of Hebrews.

The Book of Hebrews in the New Testament section of the Bible was written to Jewish believers in Jesus Christ teaching them how to deal with the Satanic Jews who opposed them.

The apostle Paul referred to these Satanic Jews of his day as “the Circumcision Party”, because even though many of them intellectually acknowledged that Jesus Christ was, indeed, the promised Jewish Messiah, they continued to follow the Old Covenant.

They insisted that any non-Jews (Gentiles) who believed in Jesus and began to follow his teachings, must also keep the whole Law of Moses, including being circumcised, and continuing with the Temple worship system.

Paul’s criticism of these Satanic Jews was very harsh, calling them “accursed”, “condemned to hell“.

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—which is really no gospel at all.

Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ.

But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!

As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned!

Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ. (Galatians 1:6-10)

To the so-called “believers” who followed the Satanic teachings of these Jews, Paul described them as “bewitched”, or having a spell cast on them, with that “spell” being the “evil eye”, which is represented today in Satanic and Freemasonry symbolism.

You foolish Galatians! Who has cast a spell on you? Before your eyes Jesus Christ was vividly portrayed as crucified! (Galatians 3:1)

The book of Hebrews is like a discourse and training manual about how to refute the Satanic Jews, which today are usually referred to as “Zionists”, and include those who, as it was during New Testament times in the First Century, claim to believe in and follow Jesus Christ, but encourage or even demand that believers return to the Jewish Old Covenant ways. (Christian Zionists today.)

Here are the first two articles I recently wrote based on the book of Hebrews:

Rabbi Jesus is the New Jewish High Priest Ushering in the New World Order

Is Modern-Day Israel Really the “Promised Land” According to the Bible?

This article then is the third one (and last, for now) in this series on Hebrews, and it is based on the last chapter in Hebrews, Chapter 13.

The Way of Jesus Leads OUT of the Earthly Jerusalem and the Earthly Temple: No Going Back

Having already established the superiority of the New Covenant which replaced the Old Covenant, Paul concludes this treatise on Satanic Judaism in Hebrews by showing how The Way, which was the designation used to refer to the true believers in Jesus Christ in the First Century (see: Fact Check: “Christianity” and the Christian Religion is NOT Found in the Bible – The Person Jesus Christ Is), leads believers OUT of Jerusalem and the Temple, which was destroyed by the Romans just a few years after this was written.

The believers were then to “seek the city that is to come“, which is not the earthly Jerusalem, but the heavenly one, which is discussed in more detail in Hebrews Chapter 11. See:

Is Modern-Day Israel Really the “Promised Land” According to the Bible?

Here is what Paul wrote in Hebrews chapter 13:

Do not be carried away by all sorts of strange teachings. For it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not ritual meals, which have never benefited those who participated in them.

We have an altar that those who serve in the tabernacle have no right to eat from. For the bodies of those animals whose blood the high priest brings into the sanctuary as an offering for sin are burned outside the camp.

Therefore, to sanctify the people by his own blood, Jesus also suffered outside the camp.

We must go out to him, then, outside the camp, bearing the abuse he experienced.

For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. (Hebrews 13:9-14 Emphasis mine.)

The death of Jesus Christ, which happened outside the walls of Jerusalem, completed and ended the purpose and significance of Jerusalem and the Temple during the Old Covenant.

What replaced it, after the resurrection of Jesus Christ which began the New Covenant, is Jesus’s spiritual body, and all of his believers (Spiritual Godly Jews) who enter into his body, through the Holy Spirit.

This is the new Temple, and it is spiritual.

This teaching was taught by Rabbi Jesus Christ himself. (Words in parenthesis are mine.)

So the (Satanic) Jews said to him, “What sign do you show us for doing these things?”

Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”

The (Satanic) Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?”

But he was speaking about the temple of his body.

When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples (Godly Jews) remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken. (John 2:18-22)

For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.

For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. (1 Corinthians 12:12-13)

The significance of Zion (Jerusalem) today, is that it was the place where Jesus was murdered, and then rose from the dead three days later in triumph over Satan and the Satanic Jews who condemned him to death.

For it stands in Scripture: “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,” and “A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.”

They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:6-9)

Notice the words that the apostle Peter chose to use in these verses: “you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.”

When he writes “you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation”, words used by the Zionists today to refer to modern day Israel and Jews, who is Peter referring to?

Those who have believed that Jesus is the cornerstone to the new Temple which resides in Heaven.

Those who do NOT believe in Jesus Christ as the Jewish Messiah, “stumble”, because they rejected Jesus Christ, who is the cornerstone that was put in place in Jerusalem in the First Century by his death and resurrection.

To these Satanic Jews, Peter, just like Paul, had very harsh words to describe them.

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.

And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of truth will be blasphemed. And in their greed they will exploit you with false words.

Their condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep. (2 Peter 2:1-3)

Getting back to Hebrews chapter 13, Paul makes it very clear that The Way of Jesus is OUT of Jerusalem, where Jesus himself was executed OUTSIDE of the city and the temple, and that to follow this Way is to also share in the abuse that Jesus suffered, which led to his execution.

This is the true “straight and narrow” way that Jesus described:

Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. (Matthew 7:13-14)

This is the minority Way, and Jesus himself also warned his disciples that we too would suffer, just as he did, if we truly followed him.

And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?

For what can a man give in return for his soul?

For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” (Mark 8:34-38)

Jesus now sits in heaven and rules from the Heavenly Jerusalem. Those who follow the Zionists and look for the restoration of Jerusalem and a new temple there, are following Satan and the same fate that awaits him, just the same as the false believers during Jesus’s day.

Nothing has changed.

In that last chapter of Hebrews, Paul gave wise advice for the Godly Jewish believers to survive their evil and wicked times, and that advice is just as wise and true today as it was then.

Let brotherly love continue.

Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

Remember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.

Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. (Hebrews 13)
