BOOK OF HEBREWS

CHAPTER 2

Hebrews 2:1 says, “Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let [them] slip.” Listen to Christ Jesus, the emotions of Father God. “We” means, “you, me, us.” “More earnest heed” means “abundantly bring the mind to/understand, pay close attention, sincerely.” “The things we have heard” means “to get by hearing, learn/wisdom.” “We should let them slip” means “lest the salvation which these things heard show us how to obtain, slip away from us.” Father’s Word was written for us to understand, therefore it is imperative that we repent, pray, read with understanding {faithful study}, pay attention to, and apply that which Father brings forth to us through His prophets what “thus saith our LORD.” Father’s Word is not to be broken a apart, here a verse and there a verse. It is to be understood exactly as it is written, “Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse.” If your path is not this way of learning and understanding the “Holy Bible”, just as Christ Jesus taught it, your christian walk will be one of babble and confusion, wherein you are believing the doctrines and traditions of men, which makes you religious when you should be as a Christ-person. Mark 4:18 & 19 says, “And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word,” “And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.” We are in the last days, and as the “Parable of the Ten Virgins” teaches in Matthew – Chapter 25, there is a need to be ready for those events that shall consummate the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age. There were ten virgins, five wise “having oil for their lamps” and five foolish “having no oil for their lamps.” The oil in the lamps is having the Truth of our Father’s Word sealed within your mind that you are not deceived by the wrong husband [spiritually speaking] who is satan, the anti-christ. The “oil” is the “little book [Holy Bible]” which is to be eaten, sweet as honey and digested, bitter to the belly. It is the entire Word of Father God which keeps your lamp filled, lit through the entire reign of the false messiah when he is cast to this earth. It is that knowledge that brings forth wisdom as you understand the signs consummating the end of this generation, knowing the time of the coming of our True Bridegroom, who is Jesus Christ, being the oil that fills your lamp. The “Word of Father God Almighty” is the “Greatest love story ever told,” the “sacrifice Christ Jesus made on that cross at Calvary”, is the “Greatest love of all.” There is only one way to love and bless Father, and that is to understand His Truths and wait, not being deceived by the first/false christ who is satan, for our “True Bridegroom, who is Christ Jesus.”

Hebrews 2:2 says, “For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;” “If {the indicative mood of/hypothesis, the condition}” means “this being the truth.” “Stedfast” means “sure, trusting.” “Recompence” means “in both senses – rewards and punishment {correction}.” Therefore the “truth” of Father’s Word having been “proven”, if you are not sincerely understanding Father’s Truths, there will be correction for your “disregard, violation {transgression}, and, paying no heed to, which is disobeying {disobedience}.” Whenever there is chastisement through Father’s Word, correction, this is proof positive of the Word of Almighty God being “faithful and true.” Father’s love is pure for all of His children and this is why His Word chastises, if, you have eyes to see and ears to hear, which in this case means you are accepting and thankful to be placed back on a Christ-like path. Father’s Word is a witness unto itself as brought forth by all the servants of Father God within the Old and New Testaments. Bless Father God for His correction and chastisement whenever His children transgress and are disobedient since this is what keeps you from walking in darkness [satan], and keeps you from being a part of a mixing bowl of babble and confusion.

Hebrews 2:3 says, “How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard [him];” The servants of Father God heeding the instructions of our LORD, as well as those who walked with Christ in the flesh, along with those of this generation of faith, are to be studying and planting seeds of truth until the return of Christ Jesus as “King of kings and Lord of lords.” Christ Jesus paid an awesome price for our salvation and it should not be mocked by doctrines and traditions of men who play on your emotions for their convenience. Chastisement from Father God is not to be complained about, rather, it should be a time of rejoicing since it comes forth because of His great love for all of mankind who were created for His good pleasure. It is impossible to please Father if you are sinful, disobedient and have a mind and heart void of His Truths. Accepting Father’s chastisement which brings about a change of heart should bring you joy since this is the path into Father’s Eternal Kingdom. Understanding Father’s Word, knowing that satan shall be cast from Heaven in his deceptive role as our True Christ to this earth, before our True Christ returns as “King of kings and Lord of lords”, are the seeds the very elect, as Father’s servants of the “Holy Bible”, and as “Christ Jesus Himself taught”, should be passing on to any of this final generation who have eyes to see and ears to hear. Earnestly hear, repent, pray and seek the increase of understanding only Father God can give through His Beloved Son, Christ Jesus, and the blessing of the Holy Spirit.

Hebrews 2:4 says, “God also bearing [them] witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will?” All gifts come from Father God when you are a part of His plan. All understanding comes from Father God when you are a part of His plan. The very elect of Father God, chosen before the foundation of this Earth Age have a purpose as Father will use those gifts bestowed for the furtherance of His might works. No one receives gifts from Father because they believe they are deserving. Gifts are given according to the “will” of Father. Our LORD teaches of spiritual gifts in I Corinthians 12:1 - 11 which says, “Now concerning spiritual [gifts], brethren, I would not have you ignorant.” Not all of Father’s children are given the same gifts of the Spirit. “Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.” {You are as the Gentiles if your love, faith and hope are in the doctrines and tradition of men.} “Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and [that] no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Spirit.” {Having knowledge of what the gifts are, to whom and why they are given brings about understanding when you see the workings of the Holy Spirit.} “Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.” {Not all gifts of the Spirit are the same when they are bestowed by Father God, however they are from the same Spirit of Father God.} “And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.” {All gifts of the Spirit are to the glory of Father God and Christ Jesus, however the manner in which these gifts are demonstrated are diverse.} “And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.” {Though many may have the same gift of the Spirit, such as understanding of Father’s Word, the manner in which that gift is demonstrated may be different, such as the levels of teaching. However, what shall never change is the fact that all gifts are for the purpose of drawing Father’s children back to Him that they may have knowledge of the Word of Father God, who is Christ Jesus, from seeds planted wherein they mature from drinking milk to the meat of Father’s Truths.} “But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.” {The expression of the talent Father has given to His children may be diverse, however the profit comes in drawing mankind to become a part of the many-membered body of Christ Jesus. It is a spiritual profit and not an earthly benefit.} “For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;” {Wisdom is broad and full of Spiritual intelligence, used of the knowledge of very diverse matters, the strong meat of Father’s Word. Knowledge is having understanding of seeds planted, studying and receiving the increase only Father God can give. Both are gifts given by the same Spirit of Father God.} “To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;” {Faith is belief in what “thus saith our LORD” without having the need to see, feel and touch, accepting that which is divine; confident in Father God Almighty and His Beloved Son, Christ Jesus. By that same Spirit, healing is having the blessing of Father God to plant those seeds of truth that cause hearts and minds to meditate on the love of Almighty God, wherein they are drawn to Christ Jesus who is our Salvation, the spirit self no longer sick.} “To another the working of miracles {capable, spiritual power and strength}; to another prophecy { divine inspiration, declaring the purposes of God, revealing}; to another discerning of spirits {good from evil}; to another [divers] kinds of tongues {languages}; to another the interpretation of tongues {languages}:” {This is the many-membered body of Christ Jesus. Father God bestows talents, gifts of the Spirit upon His children, all working together, planting seeds of truth that draw mankind, all those with eyes to see and ears to hear, throughout the whole earth, to the Word of Father God who is Christ Jesus, who is the stairway to the Throne of Father God Almighty.} “But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.” Father God is the Master of gift giving as He bestows abilities to His children for the purpose of extending the christian family that all become a member of the many-membered Body of Christ Jesus, confessing Father God Almighty, Faithful and True.

Hebrews 2:5 says, “For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.” Father God did not put His messengers, the angels in charge, rather, full charge is given to our Lord Jesus Christ who is “King of kings and Lord of lords.” Right now we are in the flesh and the Spirit of Father God is with us until Christ Jesus returns. When that Seventh Trumpet sounds and we shall all be changed, so enters the “world to come”, which will be a new rejuvenated earth, wherein all of mankind shall be in their spiritual bodies, and all that existed while we were in the flesh, will no longer be present. Father has placed the “world to come” into the hands of His Beloved Son who shall be King over His dominion {you, me, mankind}.

Hebrews 2:6 says, “But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?” Father God’s Word is a witness unto itself as Psalms 8:4 says, “What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?” What is it about mankind that causes Father to be “mindful {to be remembered}” of us? Why will Father God “visitest {to look upon or after}” His Beloved Son {Salvation from Father}, the Son of mankind?

Hebrews 2:7 says, “Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:” Psalms 8:5 says, “For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.” Because of Father’s love for His children, He took the flesh through Christ Jesus, born from above, and “allowed” Christ to be “a little lower than the angels”, as He became a “Perfect Sacrifice” for the sins of mankind. The angels were within their spiritual bodies, Christ Jesus was within a flesh body {a little lower than the angels}. What greater love could our Father have given to mankind. Father, Himself, did that which each of us have to do, and that is, to be born from above. Clearly stated, Father did not ask mankind to do any thing that He Himself did not do since He was born from above, through a woman, and “His Name is Christ Jesus.” However, never forget, “Christ Jesus is Father God.” “When you have seen the Son, you have seen the Father – I and My Father are One.” Therefore, unlike mankind, be ever mindful that “Christ Jesus is Perfect, without blemish.” You and I are full of sin and transgress daily.

Hebrews 2:8 says, “Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing [that is] not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.” “Subjection” means “to place in a certain order, to arrange, to assign a place, to appoint.” Those being placed under the feet of Christ Jesus, and this has not yet occurred, as He now sits at the right hand of His Father, are the enemies of Father God, and it is the very elect who shall place them there. That enemy is satan and his entourage, Luke 10:18 & 19 saying “And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.” “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” It is those {very elect} with the Seal of Father God within their foreheads who Christ shall use to lay His enemies down as that authority is given by Him. When this deed is accomplished, the end of the Flesh or Second Earth Age will be complete, as Christ Jesus shall rise from His Throne as the Seventh Trumpet sounds, and return to this earth with all of His Heavenly host, as “King of kings and Lord of lords.”

Hebrews 2:9 says, “But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.” This was prophesized in the Old Testament, Isaiah 7:14 saying, “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” This was prophesized in the New Testament, Matthew 1:23 saying, “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.” “Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels” because He was subject to the “pain and suffering, which brought about the death of His Flesh Body.” The “Perfect Self of Christ Jesus”, sacrificed for our sins delivering mankind from the certain sentence of death of the spirit {soul} because of our disobedience and wrongdoings. Think about that when you hear the Biblically illiterate speaking of salvation being free. Because of the suffering and death Christ Jesus endured for us, He now sits at the right hand of Father God, “crowned with glory and honour.” Christ Jesus “tasted death for every man {mankind}” because of the great love Father has for all of His children. Father God Himself purchased and paid for salvation for mankind through Christ Jesus, so all could come before His Throne of grace and mercy, with a pure heart, seeking forgiveness of sins committed daily.

Hebrews 2:10 says, “For it became him, for whom [are] all things, and by whom [are] all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.” “Sons” means “mankind.” “Captain” means “Christ - one that takes the lead in any thing and thus affords an example, a predecessor in a matter, pioneer.” Christ suffered at the hands of Father’s enemies, doing so with “glory and honour, never complaining, rather teaching until He said from that cross, It is finished.” Father God did all of this so that none of His children would be lost, having no excuse as that veil has been rent from top to bottom [Matthew 27:51] so all can repent for sins committed before the Throne of Father God Almighty, praying continually, and studying Father’s Word for that understanding only He can give, when you ask, seek and knock [Matthew 7:7]. The way has been “pioneered” by Christ Jesus. Follow He who is our “High Priest”, for Christ is the “Way and Path to the Light.”

Hebrews 2:11 says, “For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified [are] all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,” ”Sanctifieth/sanctified” means “to separate from profane things and dedicate to God.” Here is grace, humility and judgment. Judgment brings forth justification, our sins cleansed {purified} when we repent since Christ Jesus paid that price so all can be forgiven {made holy} by Father God Almighty, who knows a pure heart from that heart playing church, walking religiously instead of as a Christ-like individual. This is what makes us “one” in Christ Jesus, being a part of “His christian family {brethren}.” All of mankind was created by Father God and we belong to Him as is taught in Ezekiel 18:4. When you belong to the family of Father God, loving, magnifying, praising, blessing Father the only way possible, which is through the faithful study of His Word, understanding His Truths, our LORD will surely call you “brethren.”

Hebrews 2:12 says, “Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.” This is Psalms 22:22 which says, “I will declare thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee." Any individual having “true” knowledge of the “Scriptures”, would understand, without a doubt, that our Lord taught Psalms – Chapter 22, in its entirety, from the cross. Jesus Christ is “Emmanuel”, meaning, “God with us”, “the Living Word, the Light of the World”, by whom and for whom all things exist in both Heaven and earth, all spiritual peace coming through our LORD. John 16:33 says, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” Christ Jesus willingly laid down His life, and certainly needed no rescue since Father’s Plan for salvation was being fulfilled, loving all of His children so much. John 15:13 says, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Verse 15:14 says, “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.” Verse 15:15 says, “Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.” If you are a part of the very elect, you would know and understand all of these things. Understanding comes with dedicating your life to Father, understanding He has feelings, knowing those feelings are hurt when you have time in your life for everything and everyone, except for Him. II Timothy 2:15 says, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Hebrews 2:13 says, “And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which God hath given me.” “And again”, Scripture continuing to be taught from the Old and New Testaments, Psalms – Chapters 18 & 22, Isaiah 12:2, Isaiah 8:18, and, John 10:29 & 30 which says, “My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than all; and no [man] is able to pluck [them] out of my Father's hand.” “I and [my] Father are one.” Father is saying that, “all of mankind are My children who are resting in the palm of My hand, and there is not one, including satan, who can snatch them out of My hand if they love Me.” John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” We are all born from above for one purpose and that is to love Father God and His Beloved Son Christ Jesus, or, bow down and worship the first/false christ in ignorance. If you do not know our True Christ from the false christ who is satan, there is no way you can be in the palm of Father’s hands because you do not even know who He is.

Hebrews 2:14 says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;” This is the reason Christ Jesus was born from above to this earth, that by His death {crucifixion}, satan, who is death, would be destroyed. I Corinthians 15:20 says, “But now is Christ risen from the dead [Luke – Chapter 24], [and] become the firstfruits of them that slept.” Our Lord paid the price and defeated death [satan] when He ascended out of the tomb on the third day. “Three” means “resurrection, divine completeness and perfection – the number for the Godhead, being the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.” The kenites [children of satan] crucified Christ, not by their doing, rather, fulfilling the plan of Almighty God as all things happened exactly as it was prophesied in Psalms – Chapter 22. When our Lord rose from the dead, He then, and now forevermore lives. Death [satan] having been defeated, we can now go directly to the Throne of our LORD through His Son, who is our Intercessor. If you have any doubt about satan being death, study Ezekiel – Chapter 28. Father God has judged satan and he shall become ashes from within, no if, and or but about it. That slew-footed, no account satan, shall surely die at Father’s appointed time. Should you be so ignorant as to feel sorry for satan, you best get hold of yourself and go back and study Father’s Word, understanding that “Christ Jesus is Father God Almighty”, and has given mankind the greatest love of all as He sacrificed Himself on that cross that your soul may be saved. If you study Father’s Word as it is written, from “The Beginning” to “The End”, you will come to understand that satan was the reason for the destruction of the First Earth Age, the reason it is necessary for all souls to be born from above, the reason for the sin in the garden, the reason for Noah’s flood; he is the reason for everything that is against Father God Almighty. One of the greatest joys of my life is to see that prophesy of satan and his fallen angels fulfilled as they all become ashes from within. “Thank you Merciful Father God Almighty, Faithful and True.”

Hebrews 2:15 says, “And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Doctrines and traditions of men will keep you in bondage as you walk in darkness which is of satan. The “Truth of Father’s Word” is what releases you from bondage as you walk in the “Light who is Christ Jesus.” When Christ called His disciples, it was not through an alter call. Our Lord said, “follow Me.” That was all that needed to be said. Each and every time you open the Word of Father which is the Holy Bible, you are following Christ Jesus who is our “Living Word.” It is imperative to your very soul that you love Father, repent in the name of Christ Jesus, and place your faith, hope and trust in He who created all of mankind for His good pleasure. Father always keeps His promises and the only way to know what those promises are is to release yourself from the bondage of those things you can see, feel and touch, and have a spiritual relationship with Father.

Hebrews 2:16 says, “For verily he took not on [him the nature of] angels; but he took on [him] the seed of Abraham.” Abraham” means “father of a multitude, many nations.” Father God took on the flesh, born from above through His Beloved Son Christ Jesus who was “Savior to all nations, mankind.” Christ tasted death for each and every one of Father’s children, no exceptions, except for satan who is the son of perdition, having been judged and condemned to become ashes from within, along with the fallen angels since they were never born from above. Think about it. Father God can do anything He wants to any way He wants to. He could have accomplished the same end, salvation though Christ Jesus in a supernatural form, however He did not. Christ Jesus was born from above, through a woman, just like you and me, only Christ is Perfect and we have many blemishes. Flesh will never be perfect, however we can do our best to walk the Christ-like path, which shows Father God how much we love Him, as He Himself expresses His own emotions to each and every one of His children through this greatest love story ever written, known as the Holy Bible.

Hebrews 2:17 says, “Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things [pertaining] to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.” “A merciful and faithful high priest in things [pertaining] to God” means “One who teaches the True Word of Father God Almighty, Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse.” Christ Jesus {High Priest}, our Living Word, “reconciles” that which is wrong within us to make it right as we come before the Throne of Father God Almighty and repent of our sins. When we pray, we are speaking to, communicating with Father. Just as you speak with a family member or friend, this is the same manner in which we pray to our Father. He knows what we are thinking, however Father wants His children to establish a relationship with Him where we come before His Throne and speak the thoughts of our hearts and mind, letting Father know how much we love Him, need Him, depend on Him, thank Him, magnify Him for all of His tender mercy, longsuffering, and most of all His so precious love. Father teaches us in Isaiah 43:26 which says, “Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.” Father wants His children to remind Him of all the promises He has made to us as, through prayer, you reason with Father God that which lays on your heart, within your mind, in the captivation of your soul unto our Lord God Almighty. Father God is “Faithful and True” and never forgets His promises. Our LORD wants to be sure you know them and never forget those things He has assured us of. This is the only way to receive blessings from Father who will always give you a way out when darkness, which is of satan tries to interfere in your life. This is not to say that there will not be obstacles along your christian walk. It simply means Father will remove those boulders that fall along the path, ever confident that His children can step around, walk over those little bricks that fall along the way. Father’s Word, studied Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, will never fail to give you peace, love and joy as we walk under the sun in these flesh bodies. Accept seeds of truth, repent, pray and seek that increase of knowledge of the Scriptures that only Father God can give, and be happy, joyful in our Father God Almighty and His Beloved Son Christ Jesus. If you are experiencing a negative spiritual relationship with Father, remember that Christ Jesus, our Kinsmen Redeemer, because of that sacrifice made on the cross at Calvary, when we repent, reconciles us back to our Father who receives us with the great wings of an eagle, loving and protecting, wherein we have that spiritual peace only Father God can give.

Hebrews 2:18 says, “For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.” “Succour” means “to help, bring aid.” Christ Jesus was tempted by satan for forty days so He knows all about what darkness, who is satan, is capable of. This also means that Christ Jesus is our “guaranteed help” at that time when temptation is all around. There is no thing that happens to any one of us that is not common to everyone as Father teaches us in I Corinthians 10:13, which says, “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God [is] faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear [it].” Our Father has promised that He will never allow any of His children who have the knowledge of His Word sealed within their minds to be tempted beyond what they are able to manage since Father will always be there to love, lead, guide, direct, instruct and protect His children who love and know Him. Father God has given His children this written Word which builds the armor necessary to stand against the evil, wicked forces of this earth, and most of all against satan and his entourage. Ephesians 6:11 says, “Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil”, that “armour”, which is the Word of Father God Almighty, being protection against satan because you understand the Truth of our Father’s Word. Matthew 4:10 says, “Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence [translated, get behind Me], Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” If Christ Jesus said it, you know it is right. Practice those things taught in the Holy Bible, because it comes from “YAHOVAH Father God” through “Yeshua Christ Jesus.”
