Christ lived as the sacrificial lamb, sacrificed for the forgiveness of our sin, and his ministry was about living in the kingdom of heaven, not the worldly kingdom.
There are 128 times the kingdom of heaven is mentioned in the gospels according to the KJV. They explain to us how to live a life in the kingdom of heaven, not a kingdom of the flesh.
To understand Paul, it is necessary to have a thorough understanding of the gospels, for Paul expands of them. The grace that Christ offers is the main theme of all the writings of Paul.
Paul listened to the Lord through the eyes of Jesus, if we do not do the same, we misunderstand Paul. Paul’s explanations of the law are examples. Christ taught obedience, and some say Paul taught that obedience was never necessary at all.
I think your comments will be most interesting.
What I see about Christ's ministry is that it was a shadow of the things to come. He often preached the kingdom of heaven because it's a shadow of what things will be like in the Millennial Kingdom, New Heaven, and New Earth.
God has established that He gives us a glimpse of what is to come.
Colossians 2:17
17Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Hebrews 10:1
1For the law having a shadow of good things to come...
“For
the law was given by Moses,
but
grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.”
John 1:17
Moses ministry is the law and indeed it was the fore shadow Of Christs gospel which is Gods word forever
whatever Jesus says is the judgement of God
the law meaning everything in Moses book , the priesthood of Aaron , the animal sacrifices for sin and fellowship with God even the earthly promised land was an earthly foreshadow of what Jesus has done for mankind and the true promised land he’s offered all people in Christ
“If therefore perfection were by the
Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after
the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
For
the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
And it is yet
far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, Who is
made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. For the law made nothing perfect,
but
the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
….But this man,
because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.”
Hebrews 7:11-12, 15-16, 18-19, 22, 24-25 KJV
Your quote comes out of an explaination that the two covenants are completely seperate this let speaking of the priesthood of Aaron who immediately built a golden calf to worship . And Jesus priesthood which is the original order in Abraham’s time snd well
Before Aaron and Moses were born or the commandments were spoken from Sinai.
“For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are
priests that offer gifts according to the law: Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as
Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
For
if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. For
finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when
I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.
For
this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord;
I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord:
for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
In that he saith, A new covenant,
he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.”
Hebrews 8:4-13 KJV
What God said
through jesus is salvstion and eternal Life , what he said through Moses has been fulfilled because all have sinned or will sin and we’re sentenced to death or will be by the written words in the the law so we have to get baptized in order to have the law fulfilled and start believing the gospel and following Jesus our Lord and intercessor and his ways and words of everlasting life in his kingdom
“The law and the prophets were until John:
since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.”
Luke 16:16 KJV
We can’t get to Jesus by following the instructions of how to cross the Jordan into Israel’s ancient earthly land the law is for that it has nothing to do with the promises Jesus gave all his promises are according to his word and blood . Moses law offered what promises it has written in it
if we obey Moses law we will be violating Jesus Word
