“But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises. In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.” (Hebrews 8:6, 13)
Jesus became the Mediator of a better covenant established on better promises. The old covenant has become obsolete and has vanished away! Why then do so many Christians base their beliefs, especially about the end times, on an obsolete covenant that has vanished away and has been replaced by a superior covenant? We should be using the new covenant to explain the old covenant, not the old covenant to explain the new covenant!
