The Crucifixion is absent in Hebrews

Not only in Revelation the crucifixion is absent, as conceded by Bernard:
I think that the Crucifixion was a scandal for all the Jews, Jewish-Christians and not-Christians. The "scandal" in their eyes is even worse since the corpse of Jesus was crucified, per the Ascension of Isaiah , therefore going directly against the curse of Deutoronomy.
Hence the older conception assumes a Jesus Expiatory Sacrifice.
Paul introduced the post-mortem crucifixion of this Jesus.
...but also in Hebrews the crucifixion is absent. Jesus is only a celestial High Priest who gives the his life as sacrifice.Bernard Muller wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 1:58 pm About Rev 11:8:
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified
So "our Lord crucified" is figurative as God being inflicted pain because of the killing of Jews and the destruction of Jerusalem & its temple in 70 CE, which is what a Jewish Christian could not have written because it is Jesus who is crucified, in Jerusalem.
