Study Note
The logic of Christ's once-for-all sacrifice is argued against the impossibility of a repeated offering: if Christ had to offer repeatedly, 'he must often have suffered since the foundation of the world.' The reductio ad absurdum — repeated suffering from creation onward — exposes the temporal and quantitative limits of any sacrificial system that must be repeated. The phrase 'once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself' concentrates the entire Old Testament's sacrificial economy into a single eschatological event. The 'once for all' (ephapax) argument in Hebrews 7:27, 9:12, 10:10, and here forms one of the letter's central theological pillars, establishing Christ's offering's permanent sufficiency.
