THE EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT

I am seizing this opportunity to focus on the book of Hebrews, so strangely ignored and neglected by mainstream Christianity. I am under solemn obligation to call the attention of the spiritual Hebrews to the “two-edged sword” messages given “whether they will hear or whether they will forbear!” It is my prayer and hope that you will “hear” and not “forbear.”
So away we go! Hebrews 1:1-3, A.V.

“God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the WORLDS: who being the brightness of His [the Father’s] glory, and the EXPRESS image of His person, and upholding all things by the WORD of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.”
Heb. 1: 1-3.

Elisha’s Three Successive Different Prayers of Faith

Elisha’s Three Successive Different Prayers of Faith

(Based on: 2 Kings 6: 8-33; as told in Prophets and Kings, ch.21)

Before Elijah, only the second man after Enoch (the seventh of the godly patriarchs from Adam), was translated, God hand-picked Elisha to succeed, continue and expand on Elijah’s prophetic and reformation ministry. Elisha’s father was an affluent yet God-fearing farmer whose household were among “the seven thousand who had not bowed the knee to Baal during the time of well-nigh universal apostasy of Israel during the reign of king Ahab and queen Jezebel, his wicked and cruel heathen wife. See 1 Kings 19: 1-10, 11-20.

To underscore our focus today on faith versus fear, we cite the examples of two faith giants, Moses and Elijah, compared and contrasted to Christ’s temptations, who at their weakest moments, which were few were few and far in between yet momentous, allowed their faith to be temporarily overcome by fear. They yielded to the temptation to fear. Anytime and every time we yield t0 any temptation we sin against God. The following is quoted from Prophets and Kings:

BEWARE OF OUR OLD SUPERSTITIONS & FEARS

As the Israelites impatiently waited for Moses (reminding us of how impatiently the first king of Israel, Saul, waited for prophet Samuel, and committed his first apostasy), something happened that lead worst things:

“Feeling their HELPLESSNESS in the absence of their leader, they RETURNED to their OLD SUPERSTITIONS.

“The ‘mixed multitude’ had been the first to INDULGE murmurings and impatience, and they were the LEADERS in the APOSTASY that followed.

TOO MUCH TIME RESULTED IN IDOLATRY AT SINAI

With the whole nation, spiritual Israel suddenly found plenty of time on hand, in fact too much. Here is a solemn lesson and a dire warning from the example of ancient Israel as to what they did when Moses and Joshua went up to Mt. Sinai to receive the Law from God:

“While Moses was absent, it was a time of WAITING and SUSPENSE to Israel. The people KNEW that he had ascended the mount with Joshua, and had entered the cloud of thick darkness. which could be seen in the plain below, resting in the mountain peak, illuminated from time to time with the lightning of the divine presence.”

EGYPT’S HATRED TOWARDS THE SABBATH

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

EGYPT’S HATRED TOWARDS THE SABBATH See Exodus 5: 4-14.

Long before the Ten Commandments were written on two tables of stone by the Creator’s own finger and given to Moses atop Mt. Sinai, the Sabbath day observance and worship was already a point controversy even while Israel was still slaves in Egypt— the first atheistic empire!

Moses and Aaron tried to teach the Israelites to observe the Sabbath day in Egypt. But resting on the Sabbath angered the pharaoh and he issued a DECREE that made Sabbath-keeping impossible in Egypt.

MT. SINAI’S TERRORS REPRESENT THE SCENES OF JUDGMENT

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

MT. SINAI’S TERRORS REPRESENT THE SCENES OF JUDGMENT

Mankind fears not what they should and fears what they should not. See Exodus chapter 19 leading to the giving of the law in chapter 20.

Instead of “fearing God and giving glory to Him for the hour of His Judgment has come,” they continue to brazenly transgress and trample upon His law by which the world, globally, is, and will be judged. Notice the relationship of Sinai and the Judgment—it is infinitely more fearful than this covid-19 pandemic:

What Have We Learned Thus Far from the Divine Teacher?

“God is to be exalted by His power; who teaches like Him? Job 36: 22, K.J.V.

Jesus, the great I AM, is “the Teacher sent from God’ (John 3: 2). He is the “Prophet” prophesied by Moses to come “from among His people.” Deut. 18: 15, 18. (See also Acts 3: 22; 7: 37). Christ began teaching and instructing from the very beginning.

Before incarnating 4,000 years after the fall in “the great mystery of godliness that God was manifest in the flesh” (2 Tim. 3: 16), partaking of the “flesh and blood” human nature that had no preexistence in His existence as the great I AM, He was already the Teacher and Instructor of the His very first students, Adam and Eve, the father and mother of mankind.

THE SOLEMN DUTY TO ENCOURAGE & EXHORT THE “TROOPS”

THE SOLEMN DUTY TO ENCOURAGE & EXHORT THE “TROOPS”

What are the effects of fearful and discouraging words during times of duress, calamity and adversity, according to It is Written?

When the 12 men representing the 12 tribes Moses sent to spy out Canaan returned from their clandestine mission, 10 of them rendered “an evil report” that was discouraging and disheartening. You call that Bad News. “There are giants there, the sons of Anak and we are just like tiny grasshoppers.”
