Have you ever wondered why people believe a lie? Why they are so eager to deny the truth and live in a lie? One of the main reasons people do this is because is reduces their anxiety, their worry’s, their problems. Another reason is because they want things to be a certain way and when life's narratives don't’ fit into their life, beliefs, or desires, they will believe a lie to make it fit into their world. It is possible to hear the truth but deny it for self preservation. The problem with this is that the truth will eventually catch up to them and when it does it will be to late to change the affects of the lie. since the beginning of time, people have denied the truth and believed the lie of life, and from the time in the garden the consequences for believing the lie resulted in death.

If your life feels meaningless, if you feel beat down, if you don’t think there is any purpose for your life, then you are not walking in the confidence of God. A person who walks in the confidence of God knows where he is going, understands his purpose, and trusts in the storms of life. When you lose confidence in God, you lose your self confidence and that leads to low self esteem, low view of yourself, an attitude of giving up, and a defeated life. you have no confidence, you have forgotten your first love and are not trusting God with your circumstances.

When the world thinks of a throne, they think of a monarch, a ruling dictator, sometimes a ruthless barbaric commanding ruler. But God’s throne is one of a transcendence, dignity, and sovereignty. God’s transcendent being means that He is above and independent from everything. Everything that exist is upheld by Him, sustained by Him, created by Him. Some people think of God as a monarch that is ruthless and demanding, but what they don’t acknowledge that that everything exists because of Him and that therefore gives Him the authority, power, and right to claim it. It all belongs to Him. Hebrew’s says this:

Our inheritance was sealed after Christ suffered and was resurrected. He is our seal for the inheritance of the promise to everlasting life. While the Old Covenant was in place, the final will of God was not yet completed. Of course there is more to be done, we know that, but I am talking about the sacrifice the sealed up our inheritance once for all, for all times. The Old Covenant predicted the promise to come, the New Covenant is the fulfilling of the old prophecies:

Not saved by works but by the blood of Christ

The tabernacle was only symbolic and temporary until Christ. The symbolism points to something else to come and that it was only a representation of the offering of Christ that would truly cleanse the heart and clean the conscience. The Blood of Christ would do more than just have an external presence of God, it make a way for God to literally inhabit His people and live in them.

Ezekiel 37:14 (NKJV)

14 I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken it and performed it,” says the LORD.’ ”

Galatians 2:20 (NKJV)

20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

The writer of Hebrews focuses on the provisional sacrifices that were to be carried out int the earthly tabernacle. The earthly tabernacle failed to fully provide the provision and was unable to totally satisfy God and so they would have to preform them regularly (Hebrews 9:8-10
