was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, "See that you make all things
                      according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." 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. For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no
                      place would have been sought for a second... In that He says, "A
                      new covenant," He has made the first obsolete.

              be found in the Levitical Priesthood (for under it the people received the Law, and the
              Law made nothing perfect). Christ has come to make men perfect.


                      Hebrews 12:22-24
                      But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God..., to the
                      spirits  of  just  men  made  perfect,  to  Yahshua  the  Mediator  of  the  new
                      covenant...
