Hebrews 9:26
iris:
Hebrews 9:26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Is this saying that the end of the world started when Christ died?
What are your thoughts on this?

Perhaps, i'm not entirely sure but i believe that when Christ came that it is possible it was the beginning of the end, of this age. As in it started or marked the beginning of the end of the age. It could be possible. Whats interesting is this;
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the FEAST OF TABERNACLES for seven days unto the LORD. On the first day shall be an holy convocation: you shall do no servile work therein. Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the EIGHT DAY shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by FIRE unto the LORD: it is a SOLEMN assembly; and you shall do no servile work therein" (Lev. 23:34-36).
Perhaps since the 7th day God rested, then the 8th is the day that is actualy when God becomes all and all. Since we are currently RESTING IN CHRIST;
Hebrews 4:3 "For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world."
Now perhaps we are in the 7th day, i guess spiritualy speaking because we REST in CHRIST as GOD RESTED, and so it is the 'end of the age' and after that, on the 8th day is when God will bring the harvest and judgement upon all humanity.
I mean this is speculation offcourse, i could be WAY OFF, but i thought those were interesting connections. Perhaps someone can ask ray?
Well feel free to add, disagree/agree, whichever.
God bless,

Hey Iris,
I posted the ISV version of the bible translations here because the words seemed to flow a little better for my understanding
Heb 9:24 For Christ did not go into a sanctuary made by human hands and just a copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in God's presence on our behalf.
Heb 9:25 Nor did he go into heaven to sacrifice himself again and again, the way the high priest goes into the Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.
Heb 9:26 Then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But now, at the end of the ages, he has appeared once for all to remove sin by his sacrifice.
Heb 9:27 Indeed, just as people are appointed to die once and after that to be judged,
Heb 9:28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people. And he will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly wait for him.
Reading verse 26 with the rest gave me a much better perspective on it.

That's a new and interesting insight for me, Alex. :)
There is one N.T. verse that sheds some light on this for me. To me, it indicates that from the life of Jesus on this earth onward, and implied until He returns, are the "last days."
Heb 1: 2 in these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the ages; [YLT]
Together with Hebrews 9: 26 makes two witnesses on this! :)
Have a great night!

Hi all,
Heb. 9:28...salvation to those who eagerly await Him.
Hmmm.....that could be an argument that only those who eagerly await Him get salvation. Those that died in unbelief weren't eagerly awaiting Him.
Thoughts???
