Not only Moses Law was Ended, (Finished) but Christ also
Finished satan in all reality as well. And call it a Law if one can understand the 'Inspirition'??
Christ did INDEED come to MAGNIFY His James 2:8-12 Eternal ROYAL LAW! Isa. 42:21
IT IS FINISHED has NO hint to the New Covenant being done away with! Heb. 13:20 law! Except as seen in Dan. 7:25 by satan!
A Rebellion in heaven. Lucifer & 1/3 of these ones were cast out to earth. But earth was not created yet! So they were in a true "bottomless pit" See Rev. 20:1-3 for the return picture of Gen. 1:1-4. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without [form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep]." (bottomless pit!)
Then we see the creation of mankind with [conditional perfect] perfection. Perfect, yet not with a perfected mature character!
God gave to man the earth to care for! There was only one place that Adam & Eve were commanded to stay away from. After Mankind were created on the sixth day, God no doubt gave them (he & Eve, his wife) their first 7th. Day Sabbath sermon, that surely included severe danger of warning, to stay away from the forbidden tree in the 'midst of the garden of EDEN'. (that of death!)
We know the rest of what happened? But what most might miss, is that at that time another STARTING point took place! From a START TO A FINISH! Again, it is Finished! This is where the 'arm of flesh' (man's foolishness) goes astray!!!
Adam lost his 'conditional' control of earth. And 's'atan & his evil angels won conditional control of such. (do not miss the word of conditional control! for both of Adam & satan! Yet, take note that Lucifer, satan, serpent, and the devil are all the same being, from heaven on! See Eze. 28 - Rev. 12)
Now notice: That in Matt. 4:8-9 we see no argument from Christ of His understanding that satan was now the ruler over 'earth', Adams past responsibility! (remember that those verses are from the Word of God!)
"Again, the devil taketh Him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto Him, All these things will I give thee, If thou wilt fall down and worship me."
Even from Adams fall to this time, we see in the Old Testament that God worked without the Holy Spirit being omnipresent present .(everywhere present) The Godhead had his own, going out to find the sincere! But they worked in satan's battleground of his temporary controlled world, and by being restrained of the Holy Spirits being everywhere present. The sincere were to be drawn to Christ from His place being with/in the Obedient. The Sanctuary came on the scene in time. Stephen states that this 'is He that was in the Sanctuary' See Acts 7:38.
You can be sure that the Holy Spirit would later on, at satans defeat, present Christ everywhere at once! And also, you can be sure that where Christ was at in the Old Testament, there were all the miracle's seen that were done in the New Testament.!!
One more thought. We see that until it was finished for satan, God was held too a Theocracy by His own plan, and after that it was 'finished', he gave others His power's through Caesar! (conditional of course! Freedom of religion! Rom. 13's second commandment) But Christ & His Virgin true 'fold' were to be 'conditionally responsible for all of the covenant of the Godhead! See Isa. 5:1-7.
Up until this time, and the crucifixion of Christ, satan was still (conditionally) in control of 'all the kingdoms of the world'. Christ would win back Adams domain that he lost through sin. And then satan & his angels would be in time, be destroyed! It is in this setting that the Words of Christ.. 'IT IS FINISHED' was spoken! At Christ's death, the 'Vail of the earthly temple' was 'rent from top to bottom', making the way into the Most Holy Place in heaven itself. Ratifying the Heb. 13:20 [Everlasting Covenant by Christ's Blood]! It was then consummated..FINISHED! Satan was defeated and his fate was accomplished!
But, ignorant man, and the Everlasting Gospel differ here! The Word FINISH does not mean that the Everlasting Gospel JUDGEMENT is finished. There is still to be the Executive stage as seen in Eccl. 12:13-14, *Dan. 7:9-10's BOOKS! and Rev. 20:12's D-E-A-D judged 'by Books', (the only way that dead could stand!) and Rev.'s last few verses! Christ is still doing His High Priestly work for us and the ones still to come! This work of our [Master is not finished].. "For Christ is not entered into the Holy Place made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:.." Heb. 9:24.
