The Epistle To The Hebrews, Part 8
Published: July 17, 2023 (Originally published: January 5, 2008)A Bible Study by Jack Kelley
The overarching principle of the Epistle to the Hebrews is that our position before God is based on our belief that the once-for-all-time sacrifice of our Great High Priest was sufficient for our salvation.

Published: July 5, 2023 (Originally published: December 1, 2007)Having made reference to Jesus as a priest in the order of Melchizedek, (Hebr. 5:10 & 6:26) the author now explains how this connection came to be and why His priesthood is superior to the Levitical priesthood of the Old Covenant.

The End Times According To Daniel … Part Two, Chapters 8 And 9
Published: September 12, 2022 (Originally published: November 23, 2013)Two years after Daniel's vision of the four beasts that we described in chapter 7, he had another vision, this one of a ram and a goat.
