Understanding the old testament in the light of Jesus Christ (Hebrews)

I believe the author of Hebrews was with Jesus after the Resurrection. Was included in the group described in Luke at the resurrection, he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures concerning himself. (Luke 24:44-46,32). Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction (Job 33:16). Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law (Psalm 119:18).
"And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true--in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life." - 1 John 5:20

Hear God's promise, don't neglect salvation in Jesus (Heb 2)

God promises today you can have faith to enter heavenly rest (Heb 4:1-13)

B) Jesus is alive, interceding for you
Jesus our eternal high priest, order of Melchizedek (Hebrews 4:14-5:10)
Maturity occurs when we listen and obey God's word (Heb 5:11-6:3)
Trust God to grow as we water and sow (Hebrews 6:4-12, 1 Cor 3:5-9))
 - Parable of the Barren Fig Tree
Solid Hope: God's promise, perfection in Jesus intercession (Heb 6:13-7:28)

C) God's wonderful plan for your life
God's promise for our redemption makes salvation possible (Heb 8-10)
 - Jesus in heaven mediates for people, making salvation and sanctification possible (Heb 8-10:18)
Jesus blood covenant is completely trustworthy (Heb 10:19-39)
By Faith we receive all that God has for us (Hebrews 11)
