In the Volume of the Book Hebrews 10:7

The writer of Hebrews declared that God did not “have pleasure” in “burnt offerings and sacrifices” because they could not “cleanse” and “purge” people from their “sins”. In chapter ten and verse seven of Hebrews the writer shares how “in the volume of the book it is written of” Jesus where we read:

Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do your will, O God.

The verse begins, “Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,)...”. The writer began with the words, “Then said I”, which refers to “at that time Jesus was saying, speaking, telling, declaring and uttering” “Lo, I come” which means “behold and see that the Messiah has arrived and is present” “(in the volume” or “within the roll or highest part, extremity or end” “of the book” which is the Greek word “biblion” and refers to “a scroll, written document and writing of the holy scriptures” “it is written” which means “expressed and composed in characters which give direction and information” “of me” which refers to “God the Messiah, Jesus”). The entire “holy scriptures” are “written” and “composed” to reveal Jesus Christ the Messiah.

The verse continues, “...to do your will, O God”. The writer added the word, “to do” or “to bring forth, produce, cause, keep and perform” “your will” which means “what one wishes, commands, chooses, desires, is pleased with or has determined shall be done”, “O God” which refers to “the Godhead bodily and trinity which is comprised of God the Father, Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit”. The revelation within the “holy scriptures” concerns the “obedience” of Jesus the Messiah to the “will of God”.

When we consider these words in Hebrews, we notice how all scriptures in some manner point to Jesus Christ the Messiah. Though it may be obscure to us at times, in context we should be able to see the promise of the redemption of man from his “sins” through the Messiah, and when we search the “volume” of the scriptures, we should examine how this relates to Him at all times. Jesus Christ became the answer for the separation (which was caused by sin) between God and man, and the entire “biblion” or Bible is pointed toward that concern. Those who are wise will discover the Messiah Jesus in “all” of the scriptures and realize we have a God who is determined for us to know about His salvation plan through Jesus Christ His Son.

Next time the writer shares how God did not desire “sacrifice and offerings and offering for sin” nor did He have “pleasure” in them, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.

Until tomorrow…there is more…
