Open a modern protestant Bible. You have been taught God's word is inerrant and will always be preserved. But the book of Hebrews is about to quote the prophet Jeremiah at length, the longest Old Testament quotation anywhere in the New Testament, and when it does, it sides word for word with the Septuagint, the Greek scriptures Jesus and the apostles read, against the Hebrew text your Old Testament was translated from. One word is different. And that one word opens the biggest question in the letter: what happened to the old covenant? In this episode we read Hebrews chapter 8 in full (KJV), then follow the one word through history: what the old Protestant commentators admitted about it, what the Reformation confessions taught about one covenant of grace, and the birthday of the modern system that split God's people in two. The chapter ends on the best news in the Bible: sins remembered no more, a covenant written not on stone tablets but on the heart. The daily line reads one chapter every day: the full chapter aloud first, then what the church has always seen in it. ▶ Read along at: https://sovereignlogos.com ▶ Yesterday's chapter (Hebrews 7): https://youtu.be/jZXDykqksgA ▶ Subscribe for tomorrow's chapter: @SovereignLogos ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ WHAT YOU WILL HEAR • The full text of Hebrews 8, every verse, read aloud. • The three readings of Jeremiah's covenant prophecy side by side: your Old Testament, your New Testament, and the Septuagint, and which two agree. • What Barnes, Clarke, and Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown conceded about the apostle's Greek source. • One covenant of grace from Adam to the end: Westminster, Calvin, and the Heidelberg Catechism against the system invented in the eighteen-thirties. • "Their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more": why the new covenant keeps no ledger. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ABOUT THIS CHANNEL Sovereign Logos publishes the Septuagint - the Greek Old Testament quoted by Jesus, the apostles, and the early church fathers - as the unadulterated Scripture.
