Hebrews 8:2 KJV A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
You will rarely hear a dispensationalist preach or teach on Hebrews 8, except perhaps to label it as 'Replacement Theology.'

Hebrews 8:7 KJV For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
Hebrews 8:8 KJV For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
Hebrews 8:9 KJV Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

Hebrews 8:12 KJV For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.
Hebrews 8:13 KJV In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Ruth, a new Christian, understood the Great Commandment to love God and her neighbor, even unto death. Today, many Christians struggle to embody this love through even a single Sunday at church.
