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 [...]

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?

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 [...]
HEBREWS CHAPTER 10:32-39 After the fourth great warning to the Hebrew Christians which we spoke of in verses 26-31, the first church of Jesus Christ, who had stood faithfully for 30-40 years, were then faced with the temptation of abandoning their living faith in Jesus Christ and loving community with one another. Their severe warning [...]
