Jesus has gone to Heaven to help His followers.
Hebrews
The Book of Hebrews was written by an unknown author.
The fourteenth of the Epistles, and the nineteenth book in the New Testament, is entitled Hebrews. It was written in approximately 68 AD, but by whom, we do not know. Several possible authors have been credited with the work, but the style of writing is unlike any other books in the Bible, and so the author remains unknown.
The letter is addressed to Jewish Christians, many of whom found themselves persecuted by their fellow Jews. The writer of Hebrews fears that Jewish Christians are in danger of slipping back into the Jewish faith because of this persecution. To affirm them in their new found Christian faith, the author shows them Christ's superiority over all Old Testament laws and practices. He urges the Christians to remain true to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, their saviour.
All quotations from the Bible are taken from the Authorised King James Version.

"By 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. By 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"
Hebrews 11:4-5

Hebrews 10:14-18
"For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin"
Hebrews 10:14-18
"For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before, This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin"

Jesus is compared in the letter to a King and High Priest who blessed Abraham long ago. What was the name of this King of Salem?
Melchisedec
Levi
Malachi
Lothar
Hebrews 6:20-7:2
"whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; to whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace."
Melchisedec received a tithe from Abraham, being above him. Therefore Melchisedec's (or Jesus') priesthood is superior to the Jewish priesthood, who are descended from Abraham

The Jewish High Priest brought blood from dead animals to the temple as a sacrifice for sin, and the animals' bodies were burned outside of the city. That is why the sacrifice of Jesus' blood, which washed away our sins, happened outside the walls of Jerusalem.
Hebrews 13:10-12
"We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate"

Hebrews 1:4-6
"being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him"
