The Book of Hebrews is a very important book in the Bible. Not only does it help us to understand the present ministry of Christ but it also explains
the significance of the Old Testament laws. Hebrews shows us that just as God led the Isrealites from Egypt through the wilderness, so Christ today is helping to lead and protect God's people.

Someone has said that Hebrews was written to "rekindle a dampened fire." There was much persecution of the Hebrew Christians during this time (Hebrews was written between
A.D. 65 and 70) and some of the Christians were beginning to fall back into their ways of Judaism because they had not put down roots in the soil of Christianity. Some of the Christians had grown lazy in their faith. The author of Hebrews saw that the main cause of a 11 this was a lack of the knowledge and understanding of what faith in Christ really meant. The author shows them clearly how wonderfully all the prophecies and types of the Old Testament have their fulfillment in Jesus Christ. He emphasizes that there have been two revelations of God to man; the first, through men (the prophets); and the second, through the Son (Jesus Christ).
