Hebrews 10:7

Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. I COME, [ heekoo (G2240)] -'I am come' (note Hebrews 10:5). 'Here we have the creed of Jesus: "I am come to I COME, [ heekoo (G2240)] - 'I am come' (note Hebrews 10:5). 'Here we have the creed of Jesus: "I am come to fulfill the law, Matthew 5:17; to preach, Mark 1:38. to call sinners to repentance,...

7._In the volume or chapter of the book, etc. Volume _is properly the meaning of the Hebrew word; for we know that books were formerly rolled up in the form of a cylinder. There is also nothing unreasonable in understanding _book _as meaning the Law, which prescribes to all God’s children the rule of a holy life; though it seems to me a more suitable view to consider him as saying, that he deemed himself to be in the catalogue of those who render themselves obedient to God. The Law, indeed, bids us all to obey God; but David means, that he was numbered among those who are called to obey God; and then he testifies that he obeyed his vocation, by adding, _I come to do thy will; _and this peculiarly belongs to Christ. For though all the saints aspire after the righteousness of God, yet it is Christ alone who was fully competent to do God’s will. This passage, however, ought to stimulate us...

1-10 The apostle having shown that the tabernacle, and ordinances of the covenant of Sinai, were only emblems and types of the gospel, concludes that the sacrifices the high priests offered continually, could not make the worshippers perfect, with respect to pardon, and the purifying of their consciences. But when "God manifested in the flesh," became the sacrifice, and his death upon the accursed tree the ransom, then the Sufferer being of infinite worth, his free-will sufferings were of infinite value. The atoning sacrifice must be one capable of consenting, and must of his own will place himself in the sinner's stead: Christ did so. The fountain of all that Christ has done for his people, is the sovereign will and grace of God. The righteousness brought in, and the sacrifice once offered by Christ, are of eternal power, and his salvation shall never be done away. They are of power to...

Verse Hebrews 10:7. _IN THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK_] במגלת ספר _bimgillath_ _sepher_, "in the _roll_ of the book." Anciently, books were written on skins and rolled up. Among the Romans these were called _volumina_, from _volvo, I roll_; and the Pentateuch, in the Jewish synagogues, is still written in this way. There are two wooden rollers; on one they roll _on_, on the other they roll _off_, as they proceed in reading. The _book_ mentioned here must be the _Pentateuch_, or five books of Moses; for in David's time no other part of Divine revelation had been committed to writing. This whole book speaks about Christ, and his accomplishing the _will_ of God; not only in, _The seed of the woman shall bruise the head of_ _the serpent_, and, _In thy seed shall all the nations of the earth_ _be blessed_, but in all the...

THEN SAID I - “I the Messiah.” Paul applies this directly to Christ, showing that he regarded the passage in the Psalms as referring to him as the speaker. LO, I COME - Come into the world; Hebrews 10:5. It is not easy to see how this could be applied to David in any circumstance of his life. There was no situation in which he could say that, since sacrifices and offerings were not what was demanded, he came to do the will of God in the place or stead of them. The time here referred to by the word “then” is when it was manifest that sacrifices and offerings for sin would not answer all the purposes desirable, or when in view of that fact the purpose of the Redeemer is conceived as formed to enter upon a work which would effect what they could not. In the volume of the book it is w

EXPOSITION HEBREWS 10:1 CONCLUDING SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT WITH RESPECT TO CHRIST'S ETERNAL PRIESTHOOD. HEBREWS 10:1 FOR THE LAW, HAVING A SHADOW OF THE GOOD THINGS TO COME, AND NOT THE VERY IMAGE OF THE THINGS, CAN NEVER WITH THE SAME SACRIFICES YEAR BY YEAR, WHICH THEY OFFER CONTINUALLY, MAKE THE COMERS THEREUNTO PERFECT. The Law is said here to exhibit a _shadow _(σκιὰν)_ _of _the good things to come _(τῶν μελλόντων ἀγαθῶν), viz. of the "good things" of which Christ is come as "High Priest" ...

THEN SAID I, LO, I COME,.... Christ observing that legal sacrifices were not acceptable to God; that there was a body prepared for him; and that it was written of him in the book of God, that he should come; and the time being now come, with a note of attention and admiration, the matter being of great moment and concern, he cheerfully expresses his readiness to come, immediately, without any compulsion, even he himself, and not another. IN THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME; in the book of the law, as the, Targum and Kimchi on Psalms 40:7 interpret it; and which may design the Bible in general, the whole book of the Scriptures of the Old Testament: so ספר, "the book", is used for the whole Bible r, and it is said s, all the whole law, that is, all Scripture, is called מגילה, "a volume"; accordingly there are things written of Christ in all the writings of the Old Te

Hebrews 10:1. _For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect._ A man could go to the Levitical sacrifices twenty years running, and yet be no forwarder. He must go again and again as long as he lived. They were only figures and shadows and types; the real sacrifice is Christ. Hebrews 10:2. _For then-_ If they had been effectual, Hebrews 10:2. _Would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins._ Once forgiven, the sin would not

This one off

In this closing part of the theological discussion the writer dwells further on the finality of Christ's one sacrifice, and shows how it has brought to an end the annually repeated offerings under the old covenant. HEBREWS 10:1. The OT sacrifices cannot effect their purpose of removing sins. By its nature the Law could only reflect the higher realities, and did not present them in their actual substance; thus the priests who carry out the behests of the Law do not, by means of the annual sacrifices, bring the worshipping people into a real and enduring fellowship with God. Continually (Hebrews 10:1) is better taken with make perfect. The writer wishes to show that the annual offering of the sacrifice implies its merely temporary value. A lasting relation to God cannot be effected by a sacrifice that
