"6But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises."(KJV)

5535 Strong,s Greek # 2909; kreitton meaning “more advantageous,” or “more useful,” as opposed to strictly “better.”
5536 Strong,s Greek # 3549; nomotheteo translated as established in most translations, is better translated as “to enact law,” or “sanction by law,” meaning the Renewed Covenant is established by virtue of the fact that it is given as The Torah renewed in us.

Hebrews 8:8
"8For 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:"(KJV)
'For finding fault with them, He says, “See, the days are coming,” says YHwH, “when I shall conclude with the house of Yisra,el and with the house of Yehudah a renewed covenant,'(The ISR Scriptures)
'For finding fault with them, 5537 He says, Behold, the days come, says the Master YHWH, when I will make a Brit Chadasha with Beit Yisrael and with Beit Yahudah:' 5538 5539(The Restoration Scriptures)
5537 The Torah and First Covenant were not the problem. The problem as clearly stated here was with them. The next verse qualifies the “them.”
5538 Both houses had faults, causing the need for a new priesthood, a new sacrifice, and a Renewed Covenant. According to this promise quoted from Jeremiah 31:31, there are no gentiles in the Renewed Covenant, as it was cut exclusively with Yisrael's two houses. Those two houses are Jews and Efrayimites, not Jews and gentiles. Of course, non-biological Yisraelites also join as the chaverim/ friends of Yisrael (Ezekiel 37:16-17).
5539 Note also that Paul, or Barnabas (the author of Hebrews) in his era also considered Yisrael divided and Efrayim as being still assimilated in the nations. This reference here alone fully and totally refutes any fictitious claims that the two houses reunited 525 years before Paul, or Barnabas wrote Hebrews, during the return of Judah from Babylon.
Covenant
So where do the Gentiles fit in? (ANSWER: They need to be grafted in to the house of Israel.)
Hebrews 8:8 (WWW.THEBEREAN.ORG) (2012/1108)
new/renewed - (2537) - from Kainos - of uncertain affinity; new (especially in freshness); while neos 3501 is properly so with respect to age:--new.; (3501) - including the comparative neoteros neh-o'-ter-os; a primary word; "new", i.e. (of persons) youthful, or (of things) fresh; figuratively, regenerate:--new, young.
Hebrews 8:9
"9Not 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."(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 Mitsrayim, because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them,” says YHWH.'(The ISR Scriptures)
'Not according to the brit that I made with their ahvot in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Mitzrayim; because they continued not in My brit, and I regarded them not, 5540 says the Master YHWH.'(The Restoration Scriptures)
5540 An anti-missionary favorite. The text was changed from “though I was a husband to them,” to “I disregarded them.” The reason for the change is that this paraphrase is not meant to be an exact quote. Rather it is a paraphrase to show that only one generation of Yisrael was discarded, not the whole nation. That is, the one-generation that died in the wilderness was discarded, without the entire nation being discarded. The point is that those who don,t enter the Renewed Covenant will be discarded like those in the wilderness, and not that all Yisraelites will be replaced by a gentile church. Therefore this is not a text that teaches that the church is the “New Yisrael,” or that the Jews have been discarded.

Hebrews 8:13
"13In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away."(KJV)
'By saying, 'renewed,, He has made the first old. Now what becomes old and growing aged is near disappearing.'(The ISR Scriptures)
'In that He says, a new priesthood, 5543 He has made the first old. Now that which decays and becomes old is near disappearing. 5544'(The Restoration Scriptures)
5543 The added word “covenant” in most translations, does not appear in any Greek, or Aramaic texts. The topic for these chapters is the passing of the prior priesthood, to the new order of Melech-Tzadik, and not of the doing away with the Torah, in favor of a new covenant.
5544 The first thing to grasp is that the topic through these chapters is the priesthood. So what is about to grow old and pass away is the priesthood that then ministered in the Temple. Not the Torah itself. Even the language bears this out, as the term “near disappearing” means that the Temple had not yet been destroyed, and therefore the Levitical priesthood was still functional despite Yahshua's role as the High Priest in the order of Melech-Tzadik. In essence then, this is a prophesy of the Temple,s imminent destruction, along with all its altars, priesthood and functions, that will soon be gone, or altered.

Hebrews Chapter 11
Faith defined
Examples of faith
Hebrews 11:1
1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.(KJV)
Hebrews 11:3
3Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.(KJV)
3"By belief, we understand that the ages were prepared by the word of Elohim, so that what is seen was not made of what is visible.” (The ISR Scriptures)
We have generally understood this verse to mean that the material creation, which we can clearly see, was produced from invisible spirit. It is certainly a possible meaning, but it is probably not its primary one. In his book, Great Cloud of Witnesses (pp. 12-14), E. W. Bullinger provides an alternative that appears more accurate and fitting within the context of Hebrews 11.
The word "worlds" is translated from the Greek aion, meaning "age," in the sense of a period of time or a dispensation. It derives from a root that means "continued," and it is used as "world" only when "world" gives a better sense of a period of time, not the physical creation. It could be used if one said "the world that then was" or "the world to come."
"Framed" also appears in Hebrews 10:5, where it is more clearly and accurately translated "prepared." It means "to complete thoroughly," "to rule" (even "overrule"), or "to order" (by God in this case). "Word" is not logos but rhema, meaning "revealed words." Finally, "made" is ginomai, which means "to generate," "to cause to be," "to happen," or "to come to pass." It is not the word normally used to indicate God is creating.
Using these definitions, we could translate the verse as, "By faith we perceive by the revealed words of God that the ages were prepared, so that the things we see come to pass not from things that appear." Those of us who walk by faith know that a great Unseen Hand guides, indeed overrules, events on this earth. This verse means that the historical events we read of in God's Word were not chance occurrences, but God was working behind the scenes to bring His purpose to the conclusion He has foreordained. In short, it says, "God controls the march of history." The great men and women listed in Hebrews 11 lived their lives firmly knowing this truth. That is why they could live in faith.
Hebrews 11:4
4By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.(KJV)
Abel's faith.
Hebrews 11:5
5By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.(KJV)
Enoch's faith.
So Enoch didn't die in the conventional sense?
Hebrews 11:7
7By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.(KJV)
Noah's faith.
Noah prepared for the upcoming disaster.
Hebrews 11:8
8By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.(KJV)
Abraham's faith.
Hebrews 11:11
11Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.(KJV)
Sara's faith.
Hebrews 11:13
13These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.(KJV)
What is meant by 'strangers on the earth'?
Hebrews 11:19
19Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.(KJV)
This would explain why Abraham wasn't afraid to sacrifice his son.
Hebrews 11:20
20By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.(KJV)
Isaac's faith.
Hebrews 11:21
21By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.(KJV)

Hebrews 13:2
"2Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."(KJV)
Do not forget to entertain strangers as they might be angels.
Hebrews 13:7
'Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.'(KJV)
'Them that rule over you' are supposed to be the ones who have taught you the word of Elohim. This verse does NOT seem to be talking about man made elected officials but rather Levites and annointed ones.
'Remember those leading you, who spoke the Word of Elohim to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their belief.'(The ISR Scriptures)
'Remember those who lead you, who have spoken to you the word of YHWH: whose outcome follow, imitate their mitzvoth and emunah.'(The Restoration Scriptures)

Hebrews 13:17
"17Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you."(KJV)
Shadrach/Shadrak, Meshach/Mĕyshak, Abednego/Abed-nego/Abĕd Nego and Daniel/Dani'ĕl all disobeyed the king when he was told to do something wrong. The churches like to use this verse to make people submit to their evil. The reference from the book of Daniel chapters 3 & 6 offer proof that we are NOT to obey evil.
I need to find the reference (in ACTS?) where the disciples said we should follow YHWH and NOT men.
Hebrews 13:20
"20Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,"(KJV)
The everlasting covenant.
