Hebrews 7:18-19
Back to The Bible's Difficult Scriptures Explained!
“For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw near unto God.”
Has God’s law been “disannulled,” because it could not make its adherents “perfect”? If this is true, is it because it could never help anyone anyway—“the law made nothing perfect” (Heb 7:19)?
The law spoken of here (Heb 7:16; 9:10; 10:1-6, 11) is the Mosaic book of the law. It can be “set aside” (not disannulled) so that God can use it later, in the millennium, and this will occur.
Understand! The law of God is not the subject here! The physical, Aaronic priesthood is. This has always been part of the law of Moses, not the law of God! The book of the law could make no one perfect (verses above in chapters 9 and 10). The biggest reason that the book of Hebrews was written was to show Christians that it is Christ’s blood (not that of bulls and goats) that makes them perfect, that justifies them.
