  This chapter is the Death Knell to both Covenant Theology and Dispensationalism! Covenant Theology attempts to drag Moses into the New Testament and make him an integral part of the New Covenant. They do this by teaching that the 10 C’s are still applicable under the New Covenant. Dispensationalism attempts to drag Moses beyond the New Testament into the so-called ‘millennium’. They do this by their teaching that in the ‘millennium’ the entire sacrificial system under the Levitical priesthood will be re-instituted. Both views are an attempt to resurrect Moses and have him usurp the place that rightfully belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore both views nullify Jesus Christ as the final Priest and destroy the New Covenant.
