Hebrews is such a great book and can be as challenging and inspirational to study as Romans and Galatians.  It is uncertain who the author is, but it is assumed that Paul wrote it – about AD 67-69.  The book’s primary aim is to show the Jewish converts of Christianity that the Levitical priesthood which was so important to them, and their culture, and their temple – was all but a shadow of the Messiah – Jesus Christ.  For this reason, understanding the content of the book of Hebrews goes a long way in seeing how far Mormonism is off in their doctrinal claims of priesthood restoration Here we go!  Hebrews 1:1 “God, who at sundry (various) times and in divers manners (different ways) spake in time past unto the fathers (our ancestors) by the prophets.”  What different ways did God speak to prophets in the past?  He spoke to Moses through the burning bush.  He spoke to Job from a whirlwind.  He spoke to Joseph in dreams.  He spoke to Joshua through an angel.  He spoke to Samuel as a voice in the night.  He spoke to Elijah in a still small voice.  He spoke to Daniel in a vision.  None of these men knew each other, yet what God revealed to them perfectly meshed, together in the narrative of the Old and New Testaments.  While God has spoken to the prophets in the past, Verse 2 “Hath in THESE last days spoken unto us by his Son (Jesus), whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he (Jesus) made the worlds.”  HOW has God “spoken to us by His Son?”  Jesus revealed the invisible person of God – through being perfect in his mortal body.  Through the prophets during the preceding 1500 years, God revealed fragmentary revelations of Himself.  But when Jesus came, He was the complete and full revelation of God.  Verse 3 “Who (Jesus) being the brightness of his (God’s) glory, and the express image of his (God’s) person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins (paid for our sins), sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.”  Mormonism interprets that to mean God also is in a body of flesh and – that Jesus is an exact physical replica of His Father on high.  First of all the Greek word for “express image” is “charkter” – the character of His person.  In this sense, the word relates to characteristics not of physical form.  God is love – Jesus is love in physical form, etc.  Jesus said in John 4:24 “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”  Paul says in Colossians 1:15 that Jesus is the image of the “invisible God.”  Getting back – remember Hebrews is trying to build a case that Christ Jesus is better than all they have had in the past.   Verse 3 finishes by saying – Jesus “sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.”  He was sitting because His work – THE work – was done.  See, the singular high priest working in the temple never sat, because the work and ordinances and rituals were never done.  Here the writer points out that Jesus is our ONLY high priest who completed all the work once and for all – and that Jesus sits down because His work is finished.  I want to point out that the phrase “right hand of God” is a Hebraism that describes a place of power and position.  Being on “the right hand” means the person or being is in a position of power and honor.  Mormonism teaches that, if God the Father did not have a physical body of flesh and bones, then how could Jesus Christ have possibly sat down at “the right hand” of the Father?  If the Father has a right hand, then He must have a body of flesh of bones?  Once again, the Mormons are reading an idea into the text that is not there.  In the Jewish mind, the right hand referred to the place of honor.  It is simply a metaphorical expression affirming that Christ was in a position of authority.In Hebrews Chapter 2, the writer continues to bear witness to the Jews as to who Christ is – and that He is better than prophets and angels.  He again use
