2:8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
We must be obedient until our flesh does not speak anymore. For example, Noah and his family were obedient when God commanded to make an ark.
The obedience until the flesh does not speak anymore is the same as stretching out the hands to God. As a result, God stretched His hands to close the door of the ark, so the floodwaters could not enter it.

The last days will be the same as the ones of Noah. We must be obedient and faithful until the flesh does not speak anymore. We stretch out our hands to God. Our life does not rely on the world, but the hands of God's grace. The results are as follows.- The hand of God shuts the ark, so the floodwaters cannot enter.
The floodwaters refer to the problems up to the impossible ones, sins up to the peak, the destruction in marriage and children, false teachings, and the condemnation of God.
We are protected and helped by God and the miracle will happen. - The hand of God opens the door or the new way for us.

10:19 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,
10:20 by a new and living waywhich He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,
10:21 and having a High Priest over the house of God,
He gives us beautiful successful future life.
We experience the life renewal until we are perfect or we do not stumble in word.
James 3:2
3:2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.
Our mouth only worships God by saying "Alleluia" or we produce the fruit of bride or the eternal one.

God blesses you.
