I emailed LucyT a few days ago, no response.
Last email I got from her was on 9/9/2022.
It is long and it is late - but I did skim a bit of it.
Hebrews 6, 4 - 6 indicate that when circumstances result in pushing Christ to be crucified again - since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.
I believe that, while this seems to indicate the dilemma of a repentant back slider, that it can be broadened to include those who heard the Gospel but rejected it... by reinstituting the sacrifice they are asking Messiah to once again be crucified for them, thus holding Him up to contempt. Christ says that the one sin that cannot be forgiven is blaspheming the Holy Ghost. Since Christ is revealed by the Holy Spirit, and the Gospel was preached to the Jew, reinstituting the sacrifice is contemptuous, an abomination - which leads to desolation.
I have known a number of Jews that have received that revelation and the joy and power of the experience is incredible! Suddenly passages of Scripture and parts of festival traditions take on all new meaning - joyful revelation. No carnal sacrifice was needed, could only have hindered.
Living in the sticks is awesome. I will have it no other way.
