The Jewish Law. The Jewish Law was a thing of pride, even to the point of fanaticism. Compare Acts 21:20-28 and notes. Is not. The Law did not display the coming realities in a form that people could understand. The earthly tent and the priests who served in it were not the reality of God's blessing for man. It is only a faint outline. The greatness of the Law was only a faint outline of the REALITY which is Christ. Compare 1 John 5:20. The same sacrifices. This is implied in the previous chapter. "If these same sacrifices must be offered over and over again, they are useless! If they had the ability to make people perfect, there would be no need to offer them more than one time!"
