The Colors of Jesus' robes match the colors of the veil

(a) Passover Haggadah (for Christians)

Digression 8 - The colors of garments that Jesus wore during his arrest and trial match the colors of the veil.

During His arrest and trial,

Jesus wore the colors of the veil - Blue white purple Scarlet Blue

Regarding the color of Yeshua/Jesus' own garment - perhaps Blue - see Exodus 28:31&32, the description of the High Priest's robe of the ephod:

"Exodus 28:31 And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod (אֵפוֹד ' ephowd) all of blue.

The LXX has ποδήρη podara for אֵפוֹד

Compare:

O.T. -Zechariah 3:4 (LXX)" ...Take away the filthy raiment (ἱμάτια himatia) from him. And he said to him, Behold, I have taken away thine iniquities (ἀνομίας anomias): and clothe ye him with a long robe (ποδήρη pod-ay'-ray), and place a pure miter upon his head."

Ex 28:32 And it shall have a hole for the head in the midst thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it be not rent."

Exd 28:40 And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make coats (כֻּתֹּנֶת kĕthoneth), and thou shalt make for them girdles, and head-tires shalt thou make for them, for glory and for beauty.

כֻּתֹּנֶת kĕthoneth, 1. tunic, under-garment

1. a long shirt-like garment usually of linen

LXX has χιτῶνας, chitonas - chiton (a transliteration of the Hebrew word).

BUT note while Messiah is not of the tribe of Levi...or a descendent of Aaron, He is our High Priest in the New, better Covenant, according to the arrangement of Melchizedec. Moreover, the entire Mosaic Tabernacle system was patterned off the heavenly Tabernacle that God showed Moses:

Exodus 25:40 And see that thou make them after their pattern, which hath been showed thee in the mount.

Exodus 28:31 And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue.

Now of course Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, and in that, has always been The High Priest. And he preexisted the Levitical priesthood. So while the New Testament scriptures do not say what color Jesus' own garment was, the Old Testament does say the Levitical was copied from Jesus' eternal priesthood/tabernacle.

Consider these passages:

Gen 3:21 And Jehovah God made for Adam and for his wife coats (כָּתְנֹות ca-t'not) of skins (עוֹר`owr ), and clothed (לָבַשׁ labash) them.

This required an animal's life to be sacrificed.

John 1:29 On-the next-day the John is-looking-at the Jesus coming toward him, and he-is-saying, Note the lamb-sacrifice of-the God, the (one) removing the sin of-the world.

Thus in type, Adam and Eve were clothed or covered (atonement was GIVEN by God, see Lev.17:11) by the rent veil, "which is his (Jesus') flesh."

Leviticus 17:11 ASV 1901 - For the ~~life~~ (נֶפֶשׁ nefesh soul) of the flesh (הַבָּשָׂר basar) is in the blood (דם dam); and I have given it to you upon the altar (הַמִּזְבֵּחַ) to make atonement (לְכַפֵּר ) for your souls (nefesh :על־נַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶם ) for it is the blood (דם dam) that maketh atonement (יְכַפֵּֽר) by reason of the ~~life~~ (soul nefesh בנפש).

John 15:12 This is the commandment namely-the (one) mine, in-order-that YOU-might-be-cherishing one-another, according-as I-cherished YOU.
v13 No-one is-having greater charity (than) this, in-order-that someone might-put his soul in-behalf-of his friends.

John 10:17-18 "The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life--only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father."

Revelation 5:6: Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders.

Chronologically, the Colors of garments Jesus wore during his arrest and trial:

Ex. 25:40; 28:31 Yeshua/Jesus wore a blue poncho/chiton?

Lu 23:11 Herod put a white esthes on Him

Jn19:2 Pilate put a purple himation on Him.

Mt 27:28 Soldiers put a Scarlet clamus on Him

Mt 27:31 Soldiers put his Blue garment (chiton) back on Him.

Luke 23:11 But the Herod together-with his armies having-treated him with-contempt, and having-mocked (him), having-cast-around him (a) brilliant (white) esthes (ἐσθῆτα) (robe) he-sent him back to-the Pilate.

John 19:2 And the soldiers having-plaited (a) crown out-of thorn-plants they-put (it) upon his head, and they-cast-around him (a) purple himation (ἱμάτιον himation),

Matthew 27:28 And having-stripped him they-placed-around to-him (a) scarlet mantle (χλαμύδα chlamuda);

Matthew 27:31 And then they-mocked him they-stripped (off) him the mantle ( χλαμύς chlamus), and they-clothed him in his garments (ἱμάτια himatia); and they-led him away into to-be-crucified.

(on himation vs. chiton, c.f. Lu. 6:29 and Matt.5:40, where the terms seem to be interchanged. See Trench here for better descriptions of these articles of clothing):

http://www.blbclassic.org/lang/trench/section.cfm?sectionID=50&lexicon=true&strongs=G2440

Matthew 27:35 But having-crucified him they-divided-for themselves his garments (ἱμάτια - himatia) casting (a) lot, in-order-that it-might-be-fulfilled, the-(thing) having-been-said by the prophet; They-divided-for-themselves my garments (ἱμάτια - himatia) with-themselves, and on my vesture (ἱματισμόν - himatismon) they-cast (a) lot.

Note the Textus Receptus has additional Greek text here to connect to Psalm 22:18

Psalm 22:18 They part my garments ( בְגָדַי beged) (LXX: ἱμάτιά himatia) among them, And upon my vesture (לְבוּשִׁ lĕbuwsh) (LXX: ἱματισμόν himatismon) do they cast lots.

* χλαμύς - chalamus,

1. an outer garment usually worn over the tunic

2. a kind of short cloak worn by soldiers, military officers, magistrates, kings, emperors

* ἱμάτιον - himation,

1. a garment (of any sort) garments, i.e. the cloak or mantle and the tunic

2. the upper garment, the cloak or mantle

* ἐσθής esthēs

1. clothing, raiment, apparel

כֻּתֹּנֶת kĕthoneth,

1. tunic, under-garment

1. a long shirt-like garment usually of linen

LXX (Greek O.T.) has χιτῶνας, chitonas - chiton

Above; the Tabernacle (ten curtains Ex. 26:1) covered with the black? goat hair covering, covered with the red ram's skin, and covered with the blue seal-skins or porpoise skins. The color sequence of this model Tabernacle (blue-purple-red-white, the ten curtains under the 3 outer coverings) colors is possibly incorrect. The outer veil colors (folded up in half, Josephus Book3 Ch6) are also possibly in incorrect color sequence.

Blue white purple Scarlet Blue

It seems possible this was the sequence of colors in the Tabernacle and its veil, screen, gate, if we look at the sequence of colors of robes Jesus/Yeshua wore during his arrest & trial as an indicator.

The Tabernacle was the ten joined curtains defined in Exodus 26:1

Exodus 26:1 Moreover thou shalt make the tabernacle ~~with~~ ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim the work of the skilful workman shalt thou make them.

וְאֶת־הַמִּשְׁכָּן תַּעֲשֶׂה עֶשֶׂר יְרִיעֹת ←

curtains ten you-make the-tabernacle and ←

All the colors are repeated in the two "halves" of the Tabernacle curtains. That one color is repeated in each of the two sets of 5 curtains is dictated by only 4 colors given (Ex 26:1 fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet) . Verse 3-4 indicates the repeated color is blue: "Five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and the other five curtains shall be coupled one to another. vs.4 "And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is outmost in the second coupling.

And so a blue curtain would have been at the ends of each set of curtains of the Tabernacle. The "Tabernacle" is the ten curtains joined together.

[Question: was the color sequence the same in both sets of the overhead multi-colored curtains? (they were joined to form one tabernacle)

That is, walking through the (under the curtains) the tabernacle, approaching the veil, can we chronologically walk through the colors as they represent the timeline of the trial of Jesus? After the veil was rent, as we enter the Holy of Holies, approaching YHVH - does the color sequence change inside the Holy of Holies? ]

Edit: Consider the commandment to put "blue" תְּכֵֽלֶת (Numbers 15:38) on/in the corners of their (Jew's) garments. An additional analogy here of tallit-tabernacle would then place the blue at both ends...

Keep in mind that near or at YHVH is the color blue:

Exodus 24:10 "and they saw the God of Israel; and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and as it were the very heaven for clearness.

Further in...

The veil also was of these same colors: That veil was His Flesh! That veil is RENT!

Matthew 27:51 And behold the veil of-the sanctuary was-split into two, from from-above till below; and the earth was-caused-to-quake, and the rocks were-split,

John 14:6 "The Jesus is-saying to-him, I myself-am* the way and the truth and the life. No-one is-coming to the Father unless through me."

*εγω ειμι – ego eimi --compare the LXX @Ex.3:14.

John 10:30 "I and the Father are one". Yeshua/Jesus is Yahweh.

The Tabernacle was a parable of Messiah's body:

The boards "for the tabernacle" are made/created "standing up". New Covenant believers, who die with and are resurrected in Messiah, are depicted by the boards of the tabernacle.

Exodus 26:15 And thou shalt make the boards [קֶרֶשׁ qeresh] for the tabernacle [מִשְׁכָּן mishkan] of acacia wood, standing up [עָמַד `amad; LXX: ασηπτων asāpton].

Note some of the meanings given for the word translated "standing up" - עָמַד `amad:

to stand, remain, endure, take one's stand

to stand, take one's stand, be in a standing attitude, stand forth, take a stand, present oneself, attend upon, be or become servant of

to stand still, stop (moving or doing), cease

to tarry, delay, remain, continue, abide, endure, persist, be steadfast

to make a stand, hold one's ground

to stand upright, remain standing, stand up, rise, be erect, be upright

to arise, appear, come on the scene, stand forth, appear, rise up or against

to stand with, take one's stand, be appointed, grow flat, grow insipid

to station, set

Certainly we may see resurrected New Testament believers here:

Ephesians 2:4 But the God being rich in mercy, because-of his much charity (with) which he cherished us,
v5 And we being dead (ones) in-the offences he-made-(us)-alive-together with-the Messiah,--by-favor YOU-are having-been-and-still-are-saved,--
v6 And he-raised-(us)-together (συνήγειρεν) and he-seated-(us)-together in the heavenly (places) in Messiah Jesus,
v7 In-order-that he-might-demonstrate in the ages namely-the (ones) coming-on the surpassing riches of his favor in graciousness on us in Messiah Jesus.
v8 For by-the favor YOU-are having-been-and-still-are-saved through trust; and this not out-of YOU, of-God the gift;
v9 Not out-of works, in-order-that some-one might not boast.
v10 For of-him we-are (a) thing-made having-been-created in Messiah Jesus on good works, to-which the God prepared-before (us?) in-order-that we-might-walk-around in them.

1Cor.3:9c “YOU-are (a) building of-God”.

1 Cor. 3:16 "You-are the sanctuary of-the God"

Understanding: we are created in Messiah on good works - the works existed before we were created. Don't put the cart in front of the horse and say you were created by your good works - that is not logical thinking. Again - they were prepared - before we were existing!

Galatians 2:19 For I myself died-off through law to-law in-order-that I-might-live to-God. I-have-been-and-still-am-crucified-together with Messiah;
v20 But I myself am-living no-more, but Messiah is-living in me; but which I-am now living in flesh, I-am-living in trust, the (trust) of-the son of-the God namely-the (one) having-cherished me and having-given-over himself in-behalf-of me.
v21 I-am not disregarding the favor of-the God; for if righteousness (is) through law so Messiah died-off gratuitously.

Romans 6:3 Or are-YOU-being-ignorant that as-many-as we-were-baptized with-reference-to Messiah Jesus, we-were-baptized with-reference-to his death?
v4 Therefore we-were-buried-together with-him through the baptism with-reference-to the death, in-order-that as-altogether Messiah was-raised out-of dead (ones) through the glory of-the Father, thus we also ourselves-might-walk-around in newness of-life.
v5 For if we-have-become-and-still-are (ones)-shooting-forth-together in-the similitude of his death, BUT also we-shall-be of-the standing-again;
v6 Coming-to-know this, that our old MAN was-crucified-together, in-order-that the body of-the sin might-be-rendered-inactive, we no-longer to-be-being-(a)-slave to-the sin;
v7 For the (one) having-died-off has-been-and-is-still-justified from the sin.
v8 But if we-died-off with Messiah, we-are-trusting that we-shall also live-together with-him,
v9 Knowing-absolutely that Messiah having-been raised out-of dead (ones) he-is-dying-off no-more, death is-exercising-lordship of-him no-more.
v10 For what he-died-off, he-died-off for-the sin all-at-once; but what he-is-living, he-is-living for-the God.
v11 Thus also YOU yourselves-be-figuring yourselves on-the-one-hand to-be dead (ones) to-the sin living on-the-other-hand for-the God in Messiah Jesus.

Hebrews 10:19 Having therefore brothers, boldness-of-speech with-reference-to the entering-in of-the holy-ones in the blood of-Jesus,

v20 Which (entering-in) he-dedicated for-us (a) way recently-slain and living, through the veil, this is his flesh,

1 Corinthians 5:7 YOU-purge-out the old leaven, in-order-that YOU-might-be (a) new lump, according-as YOU-are unleavened-breads. For even our passover was-sacrificed, Messiah.

Ephesians 2:13 "But at-this-instant in Messiah Jesus YOU, the (ones) at-one-time being far (away), YOU-became near in the blood of-the Messiah.

flesh]

Ephesians 5:30 "Because we-are members of his body."

Exo 27:14 The hangings for the one SIDE (כָּתֵף katheph SHOULDER) of the gate shall be fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.

This is the Big Kehunnah!

Both places made one

And also God made both Jew and Gentile into one new man

Ephesians 2:13 "But at-this-instant in [εν - Strong's G1722 - en] Messiah Jesus YOU, the (ones) at-one-time being far (away), YOU-became near in the blood of-the Messiah.

v14 For he himself is our peace, the (one) having-made the both (places) [Holy place & Holy of Holies] one even having-broken-down the midst-wall of-the fencing-in, the enmity, in [εν - Strong's G1722 - en] his flesh [Hebrews 10:19-20 that veil was his flesh]

v15 Having-rendered-inactive the law of-the commandments in [εν - Strong's G1722 - en] decrees [i.e. the decrees of Jesus], in-order-that he-might-create the two [Jew and Gentile] in [εν - Strong's G1722 - en] himself with-reference-to [εἰς eis] one new (quality) MAN making peace,"

2 Corinthians 5:17 "So that if anyone (is) in Messiah, (he-is) (a) new-quality creation; the ancient-things went-past, behold the all-things have-become-and-still-are new-quality."

After God's sudden judgment on Korah, Dathan and Abiram (Num.16:31) and on the 250 men that offered incense (Num. 16:35), and on the congregation of Israel (Num. 16:47), then the children of Israel were "all undone" concerning drawing near to the Tabernacle of Jehovah.

Numbers 17:12 And the children of Israel spake unto Moses, saying, Behold, we perish, we are undone, we are all undone.
13 Every one that cometh near, that cometh near unto the tabernacle of Jehovah, dieth: shall we perish all of us?

Num 18:1 And Jehovah said unto Aaron, Thou and thy sons and thy fathers' house with thee shall bear the iniquity of the sanctuary; and thou and thy sons with thee shall bear the iniquity of your priesthood.

Note: "priesthood" is from the Hebrew word, כְּהֻנָּה kĕhunnah (Strongs H3550).

Jehovah then dictates that indeed only Aaron's house would minister in the Tabernacle, and that the Levites would minister to Aaron's house. What a contrast to the relationship with YHVH that he provides in his New Covenant! The ancient things, i.e. the Mosaic covenant & Levitical priesthood went past!

Hallelujah! Praise Yah! Compare the New Covenant HOPE in Jesus! Now the sanctuary of the God is in (among) the believers (1Cor.3:16). That veil was rent (Matt.27:51). NOW New Testament believers have access to the Holy of Holies (Heb.10:19-20). NOW we are priests in God's kingdom (Rev1:6)

Hebrews 7:11 "If on-the-one-hand therefore perfectness was through the Levitical priestly-office, for upon it the people has-been-given-and-still-is given-the-law*, what need still (a) different priest to-be-standing-up according-to the arrangement of-Melchisedec and (he is) to-be-being-said not according-to the arrangement of-Aaron?"

*-- That is; Upon the Levitical priesthood, ALL that law was given. No Priesthood = no law.

Galatians 3:19 "Therefore what (is) the law? It-was added for-sake-of the transgressions, UNTIL the seed might-come to-whom it-has-been-and-still-is-promised, having-been-ordered through messengers, in hand of-a-mediator."

NOW, in our time, The Naos/sanctuary of God is in (among) you.

1 Corinthians 3:16 "Are YOU not knowing absolutely that YOU are the sanctuary (NAOS) of the God, and the spirit of God is dwelling in [εν - Strong's G1722 - en] YOU?"

This is the "Christ in you."

Colossians 1:26 "The mystery namely-the (one) having-been-and-still-hidden-back from the ages and from the generations--but now was-manifested to his holy-ones,

v27 To-whom the God willed to-make-known what the riches of-the glory of this mystery among [εν - Strong's G1722 - en] the Gentiles, which is Messiah in [εν - Strong's G1722 - en] YOU, the hope of-the glory;"

Revelation 1:6 "And he-made us (a) kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to-him the glory and the might with-reference-to the ages of-the ages: Amen."

And this can be read/understood as "he made us kingdom priests" also, as the Greek text does not have punctuation (e.g. commas). This is the Melchi-zedek priesthood (Heb. ch7&8).

And that is The Big Kehunnah.

Yet these things that occurred to Israel under the Old Covenant & Law are patterns for Christian (Jewish and Gentile) learning, so we don't get high-minded of our state of grace vs. the Jew's bondage to the law and blindness to Messiah Yeshua/Jesus Christ. They will (future) have more fullness than Gentile Christians (Romans 11:12). Perhaps a "pattern" to keep in mind is Korah's high-mindedness. Gentile Christians should accept their "place" among the trusting remnant - "the choice" - of Israel with hopeful joy...Romans ch.11. After the false man-made "third Temple", There is a Levitical priesthood in the Millennium Temple:

Ezekiel 40:46 and the chamber whose prospect is toward the north is for the priests, the keepers of the charge of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who from among the sons of Levi come near to Jehovah to minister unto him

Ezekiel 44:9 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any foreigners that are among the children of Israel. 10 But the Levites that went far from me, when Israel went astray, that went astray from me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity. 11 Yet they shall be ministers in my sanctuary, having oversight at the gates of the house, and ministering in the house: they shall slay the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister unto them. 12 Because they ministered unto them before their idols, and became a stumblingblock of iniquity unto the house of Israel; therefore have I lifted up my hand against them, saith the Lord Jehovah, and they shall bear their iniquity. 13 And they shall not come near unto me, to execute the office of priest unto me, nor to come near to any of my holy things, unto the things that are most holy; but they shall bear their shame, and their abominations which they have committed. 14 Yet will I make them keepers of the charge of the house, for all the service thereof, and for all that shall be done therein.

15 But the priests the Levites, the sons of Zadok, that kept the charge of my sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from me, they shall come near to me to minister unto me; and they shall stand before me to offer unto me the fat and the blood, saith the Lord Jehovah: 16 they shall enter into my sanctuary, and they shall come near to my table, to minister unto me, and they shall keep my charge.

Christians should keep in mind that there are BOTH earthly and heavenly sanctuaries during the Millennial reign of Christ, as "New Jerusalem" does not descend until the end of that 1000 years (Rev. 21:22). Christians should have no difficulty understanding that YHVH is omnipresent - i.e. He is in all places at the same time.

Hebrews 10
v1 For the law having (a) shadow of-the future good-(things), not itself the image of-the things, according-to (each) year by the same sacrifices which they-are-offering with-reference-to the perpetuity it-is never being-able to-make-perfect the (ones) coming-near;
v2 Since would-they not have-ceased being offered? because the (ones) serving, once having-been-cleansed-and-still-cleansed, (would) still be-having not-one conscience of-sins.

That is, IF the Levitical service of Yom Kippur provided propitiation, it would be equivalent to the Jesus' sacrifice. But it wasn't equal.
v3 But in them (a) remembrance of-sins according-to (each) year;
v4 For (it-is) impossible (for) blood of-bulls and he-goats to-be-removing sins.
v5 On-this-account coming-in into the world he-is-saying: You-willed not sacrifice and offering, but you-yourself-rendered (a) body thoroughly-fit for-me;
v6 You-thought not well (of) total-burnt-offerings even concerning sin.
v7 Then I-said: Behold I-am-present, in (the) heading of-(a)-little-book it-has-been-written-and-is-still-written concerning me, to-do, the God, your will.
v8 More-above saying that sacrifice and offering and total-burnt-offerings even concerning sin you-willed not, nor you-thought-well (of), they-which are-being-offered according-to the law,
v9 Then he-has-said-and-is-still-saying: Behold I-am-present to-do, the God, your will. He-is-carrying-off the first in-order-that the second might-stand;

It helps me to think of "your will" as the will & Testament of Jesus Christ...who is the Testator of the New Covenant/Will of God. "I and the Father are ONE" - John 10:30.

v10 In which will we-are having-been-made-holy-and-are-still-holy through the offering all-at-once of-the body of-the Messiah Jesus.

v11 And on-the-one-hand every priest has-stood-and-still-stands publicly-ministering according-to (each) day and often offering the same sacrifices, they-which are never being-able to-lift sins from-around (them);
v12 He, on-the-other-hand having-offered one sacrifice in-behalf-of sins with-reference-to the perpetuity (was) seated in right (hand) of-the God,
v13 Henceforth waiting-long till his enemies might-be-placed (a) footstool of his feet.
v14 For by-one offering he-has-made-perfect-and-still-makes-perfect with-reference-to the perpetuity the (ones) being-made-holy.
v15 But the Holy Spirit also is-witnessing to-us; for after to-have-said-before-and-still-saying;
v16 This (is) the covenant which I-myself-shall-covenant with them after those days, Jehovah is saying: Giving my laws on their hearts, and on their intellects I-shall-inscribe them,
v17 And of-their sins and their lawlessnesses I-shall by-no-means still be-mindful.
v18 But where-in-which forgiveness of-these, (there is) not-still (an) offering in-behalf-of sins.
v19 Having therefore brothers, boldness-of-speech with-reference-to the entering-in of-the holy-ones in the blood of-Jesus,
v20 Which (entering-in) he-dedicated for-us (a) way recently-slain and living, through the veil, this is his flesh,
v21 And (having) (a) great priest upon the household of-the God,

v22 Let-us-be-going-to (God) with (an) authentic heart in certainty of-trust, (having) the hearts having-been-sprinkled-and-still-sprinkled from (an) evil conscience and (having) the body having-been-and-still-bathed with-clean water;
v23 Let-us-be-holding-fast the confession of-the hope unwavering, for the (one) having-himself promised (is) trustworthy,
v24 And let-us-be-taking-note-of one-another with-reference-to (an) irritation of-charity and of-fine works,
v25 Not abandoning the leading-together-completely of-ourselves, according-as custom with-certain-ones, BUT comforting, and by-this-much more for-as-long-as YOU-are-looking-to the day drawing-near.

v26 For of our sinning voluntarily after (we) took the thorough-knowledge of-the truth, no-more (a) sacrifice concerning sins is-being-left-behind,
v27 But certain fearful long-waiting-for of-judgement and zeal of-future fire to-be-eating the (ones) set-over-against.
v28 Some-one having-disregarded (a) law of-Moses, upon two or three witnesses if-dying-off separate-from pities;
v29 To-how-much of-worse vengeance are-YOU-thinking will-he-be-thought worthy, the (one) having-trodden-down the Son of-the God and having-considered the blood of-the covenant, in which he-was-made-holy, common, and having-insulted-within the Spirit of-the favor?
v30 For we-are-knowing-absolutely the (one) having-said: To-me an-avenging, I myself will-repay; and again: Jehovah will-judge his people.
v31 (A) fearful (thing) to-fall-into hands of-(a)-living God.

v32 But YOU-yourselves-be-being-mindful-again (of) the former days (i.e. the early assembly days), in which having-been-enlightened YOU-persevered much contest of-sufferings,
v33 This on-the-one-hand, (ones) being-made-spectacles both with-reproaches and in-tribulations; this on-the-other-hand, having-become partners of-the (ones) thus turning-themselves-about.
v34 For YOU also suffered-together with-the prisoners, and YOU-welcomed the seizing of YOUR goods with joy, coming-to-know yourselves to-be-having (a) better and remaining existence.
v35 Might-YOU not be-casting-off therefore YOUR boldness-of-speech, one-which is-having great compensation.
v36 For YOU-are-having need of-perseverance in-order-that having-done the will of-the God YOU-might-obtain-for-yourselves the promise.
v37 For still (a) little moment, the (one) coming will-be-present and he-will not linger,
v38 But my just (one) will-himself-live out-of trust, and if he-himself-might-shrink-back, my soul is not thinking-well in him.
v39 But we ourselves are not of-shrinking-back with-reference-to destruction, BUT of-trust with-reference-to possession of-soul.

Hebrews 13:10 "We-are-having (an) altar out-of which the (ones) serving to-the tabernacle are not having authority to-eat."

In the new-quality Jerusalem, there is no sin (Rev. 21:27).

And yet, before New Jerusalem descends, during the Millennium, the Jews will be -finally- sacrificing correctly. Why? Well, because we are told that they will in Ezekiel. Also consider that scripture records that after his resurrection Jesus often ate in the presence of his disciples (Lu.24:43). Understand that the body of the spirit also requires or intakes physical food. One of the purposes of the Mosaic/Levitical sacrifices was to provide good food for the people of Israel. Additionally, apparently there will be sinners living during the Millennium (Matt. 25:41). Some of these sinners of the nations bring their sin offering to the Temple (Zech. 14:16). Of course Jesus has provided the once-for-all sin sacrifice for those trusting in Him (Heb. 10:12). But, possibly/apparently, as Jesus ate post-resurrection, believers will likewise still be eating sacrificed food. Any animal that is killed for food has sacrificed its life for the one eating. So post resurrection, Jesus had a fish sacrifice (John 21:9).

Interesting, no?

While there is a lot we don't fully know, our main focus at this time is on what we do know:

1Corinthians 2:2 For I-judged not to-be-knowing-absolutely anything among YOU unless Jesus Messiah and this-one having-been-and-still-crucified.

OUR Advocate, the propitiation of our sins, is Yeshua/Jesus Messiah/Christ the Just.

1John 2:1 My little-children, these-things I-am-writing to-YOU in-order-that YOU-might not sin. And if someone might-sin, we-are-having (an) advocate with the Father, Jesus Messiah (a) just (one);

v2 And he himself is (a) propitiation concerning our sins, but not concerning ours only BUT also concerning the total world.

Yeshua/Jesus is Yahweh. "I and the Father are one" John 10:30.

Praise Yahweh!
