HEBREWS 12:25-29 The Holy Spirit calls the Hebrew Christians to come completely out of Judaism. Out from Temple participation, out from its services, its feasts, its earthly blessings, even out from its City (Revelation 11:8). The out calling for modern day Christians can be also found in these passages and Book, but not so obvious. [...]
Hebrews 12:18-24 (the 5th warning continued) “For ye (we) have not come unto the mount that might be touched (that might be felt, not only seen) and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest, And the sound of trumpet, and the voice of words; (the terrifying voice of God; “I am [...]
HEBREWS 12:14-17 WHO SHALL SEE GOD? Just a few reminder words about VERSE 11-13…. “Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peacable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.” Chastisement in itself is painful. When faced with it, our emotions run wild. Some [...]
HEBREWS 12:7-13 PART 2 GOD’S CHASTENING BEFORE AND AFTER DEATH It will be discovered by any truth seeker that Scripture does not teach we Christians go directly to Heaven when we die. Scripture will be found to teach that everyone continues (as it has been since the first man, Adam, died) to be carried into [...]
HEBREWS CHAPTER 12 VERSES 7-10 PART ONE PURGATORY? THE CHASTENING OF THE FATHER ON HIS CHILDREN “If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Furthermore [...]
HEBREWS CHAPTER 12 VERSES 1-6 The life of a Christian answers to the course and the race according to God’s design. We are in Biblical spiritual training to run the course to attain unto the reward/prize of first-born sons to reside and rule with God from the heavens, and not fall out of the race. [...]
HEBREWS 11:20-40 (the remaining of the “faith” chapter) VERSE 20 “By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come” The things to come speak to the prophetic significance of the rights of first-born sons in God’s great salvation plan. Esau was the first born by birth to Isaac but lost the blessing to [...]
HEBREWS 11:4-7 The doctrine being set forth here and throughout Scripture is Jesus Christ’s Return when the rapture and first resurrection shall take place. It is this time when He will judge His people and the World. Now we are needing to set ourselves against the false doctrines that have invaded the Christian community; that [...]
HEBREWS 11:2-3 Verse 2 “For by it the elders obtained a good report…” “For by it (faith/trust in God’s Word and promises) the elders obtained a good report…” (Faith is the standard of their worthiness set by God)….why are the elders of the Old Testament being brought out? Because they had obtained God’s favor. Overcoming [...]
HEBREWS 11:1 The Book of Hebrews, more than any other Book in the Bible, lays before us most clearly the contrasting of the “Gift of eternal life and the Prize of eternal inheritance.” The clear understanding of which gives the depth of meaning to God-ordained Grace, Faith, and Hope. Thus we briefly review this great [...]
