vv.16-17"For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator./For a testament is of force after men are dead."
What does 'the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world' signify? Is it not that he was established as an emblem in the will of God and it never changes? The same we have where the context is much more clear," and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain" so the book bound with seven seals could only open by the Lamb who in fulness of time shall be sent to the world.(Rev.5.6; Jn 1.29) 'where a testament is' is what we read in Gen.ch.1. Everlasting Covenant for the Jews is revealed for want of their spiritual depth (that the vail of the face of Moses was imperative ) but death of the testator on the cross removed any such excuse that they may hold, and what we see in them is who their father really is." Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do."( Jn 8.44) Everlasting Covenant is what shall judge them since Jesus and his claim that he was even before Abraham was, is the gospel truth. " Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."(2 Cor.5.17)
Heb.9.15 "And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance." The nation of Israel was under the first testament. No more.
God set apart 144,000 on mount Sion and 144,000 on the sea of glass with mingled fire on the day He said,"Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee/Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession"(Ps.2.7-8). The Law of the Spirit presents the Covenant in seven days which are not literal days but the Law or the Word shal forever preside
