Hebrews 12:18-29 - From a Shaking Mountain to an Unshakable Kingdom in Yeshua

From Hebrews 12:18-29, in his study of the Book of Hebrews (אֶל־הָעִבְרִים), Brother Gideon Levytam explores the powerful contrast between two mountains. The author first reminds the Hebrew believers of what they have not come to: Mount Sinai, a place of terror, fire, and a fearful voice that represented the giving of the Law, where the people and even Moses himself trembled in fear. This earthly mountain signifies a relationship of distance and condemnation under the Old Covenant.

In glorious contrast, believers in Yeshua have come to the heavenly Mount Zion, the city of the living God. This is not a place of fear, but of grace and fellowship with an innumerable company of angels, the assembly of the firstborn, God the Father, and Yeshua the Messiah, the mediator of the New Covenant. Concluding with the book's final warning, Gideon exhorts us that because we are receiving an unshakable kingdom through the superior blood of our Messiah, we must listen to Him who speaks from heaven and serve our God with reverence and awe, for He is a consuming fire.
