As we approach the last chapter of the book of Hebrews the author is focusing on some of the key topics that he has addressed within the letter. He is again emphasising the superiority of the New Covenant that is for the followers of Christ over the Old covenant of the Law. He uses an analogy, found in 12:18-24 to make his strong point. He compares the bondage of Mt. Sinai to the freedom of Mt. Zion.
I have covered this material in the previous outline (found below) but I thought a chart would be helpful to further illustrate the point. I have included a third mountain in my analysis, Mt. Calvary.
Gal.4:21-31 – Tell me, you who want to be under the law, do you not listen to the Law?
The present Jerusalem (slaves under the Law) and the Jerusalem above (free under grace).
Children according to the flesh and children according to promise.
Children of a bond woman and children of the free woman.
