Take, eat; this is my body."(v.26) "For this is my blood of the new testament,"
Firstly my blood refers to a single act which was once in the divine Will under a symbol and as the word become flesh when he walked the earth it was fulfilled. The significance of the adjective 'new is consistent throughout. For example The Bible opens with this verse, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." (Gen.1.1) The book of te Revelation however has this verse,"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea./And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven," The new earth is the world as fulfilled by Jesus Christ where the world is framed by the Word. This Word was God and what the writer to the Hebrews cites refer to God in the Father Son relationship. There is therefore only one world and what is seen is temporal and what is unseen is eternal. The Bible as the testament of Jesus Christ can be summed up in terms of the Lamb as the symbol. In the divine Will the Spirit presents us the Lamb slain.('the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world,'-Rev.13.8). God sent his only Son to the world and John the Baptist testifies,"And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!"( Jn 1.36). In the new heaven and the new earth the throne of God and of the Lamb indicates the Will of God as fulfilled. "And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God."(Rev.21.3; Exod.25.8-9) This is the world framed by the word of God in which the adjective 'new' establishes the fulfilment of the will of the Father.
Book of the Revelation is recorded by St John 'Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw."
