BOOK OF HEBREWS

HEBREWS – CHAPTER 3
Hebrews 3:1 says, “Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;” Hebrews – Chapter 1, teaches that Christ Jesus is Higher than the angels, the Perfect Son of Almighty God, who now sits at “Father’s Right Hand” within “His Heavenly Estate.” Hebrews – Chapter 2 teaches that Christ Jesus “fulfilled the will of His Father, sacrificing Himself on that cross for our sins”, defeating death who is satan. All of mankind should seek to be partakers of a Christ-like life/path, wherein they become as the very elect, having eyes to see and ears to hear, of who Christ Jesus is and the reason He was born from above, Father God blessing mankind with the “Greatest Love of All” through our Lord Jesus Christ. Psalms 22:31 says, “They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done [this].” Christ Jesus was sent by Father God to pay the price for the sins of mankind, our “Perfect Sacrifice”, through His suffering, our “High Priest”, and now through faith in Christ Jesus who is the “Anointed {Christ} Savior of God {YAHOVAH is Salvation - Jesus}”, we can come before the “Throne of Father God Almighty” and confess our sins, acknowledging love, faith, hope and trust for our Lord who is our Intercessor to Father God. “Consider” means to “perceive, observe, understand - sincerely” Christ Jesus was appointed by Father God to fulfill “His Perfect Plan”, and as we live in this generation, it is the responsibility of the very elect to plant these seeds of truth wherever they may be heard.

Hebrews 3:2 says, “Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses [was faithful] in all his house.” Moses {drawing out} was “faithful” which means “believing, confiding, trusting”, as he committed himself to lead Father’s children, understanding the instructions, under the grace and mercy of Father, all a christian family, being of the “house/temple” of Father God, Moses, a type for our Lord Jesus Christ as he brought the children out of captivity. The “temple to Father God” Moses built within the wilderness while leading the children was a type for those things that were yet to come as “Christ Jesus became our Temple” since He is the “true sanctuary of Father God Almighty”, and if you are not a member of the “Body of Christ”, you are a member of false doctrines, teachings and traditions of men, clearly void of the ensample of Moses, still within the bondage of captivity.

Hebrews 3:3 says, “For this [man] was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.” “This man” is “Christ Jesus” who is “Perfect.” Numbers 12:7 says, “My servant Moses [is] not so, who [is] faithful in all mine house.” Moses was faithful even when Aaron and the others turned their backs on Father, complaining, groaning and moaning, and even worse, building their golden idol to worship. Verse 8 says, “With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?” Father did not speak to Moses in “dark speeches {riddles or perplex sayings}”, rather He spoke “mouth to mouth {proportioned commandments, clear and precise}.” Moses, through Father God, brought the children out from under the captivity of pharaoh, however a generation passed away because of their lack of faith in Father God. Our Lord Jesus Christ, being our “Perfect Sacrifice on that cross”, brought our souls out of captivity that we may have “Eternal Life.” Mankind must believe these truths as we now live, or, as in the generation of Moses, shall be lost, their souls in jeopardy if they bow down and worship the first/false christ. Through Father God, Moses saved a house {many-membered body of the House of God} and built a temple {building}, and now, “Christ Jesus is our Savior and Temple.” Moses was an ensample and Christ Jesus fulfilled the plan of Almighty God as He, as promised, resurrected from the tomb, the “Temple re-built”, in three days. Matthew 26:61 says, “And said, This [fellow] said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.” Just like satan, who is a liar, are these two witnesses as they twist that spoken by Christ Jesus. John 2:19 - 21 says, “Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” “Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?” “But he spake of the temple of his body.” The “Temple” is not a building as so many biblically illiterate teach and believe. Study the very Word of Father God as Revelation 21:22 teaches, “And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.”

Hebrews 3:4 says, “For every house is builded by some [man]; but he that built all things [is] God.” If you were building a physical house, each and every ingredient, piece of material used was created by Father God and belongs to Him. Spiritually, it is Christ Jesus who creates the many-membered body which makes up the “House of Father God, Christ Jesus being the Temple thereof.” As the very elect of this generation, Moses was a builder of a house, a servant whose labor was for Father God, using the ingredients/materials, which is Father’s very Word, planting seeds of truth to all of mankind, those believing becoming a part of the many-membered body of Christ Jesus. In order to understand and be a part of Father’s plan, you have to be familiar with and understand the “Word of God {Holy Bible}”, which are the “blueprints to Eternal Life.”

Hebrews 3:5 says, “And Moses verily [was] faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken after;” Moses was a “servant {an attendant, servant, of God}” to, and a part of, the plan of Father God. All things that were accomplished by Moses was an example of those things that would yet to be fulfilled. By the instruction of Father God, all that Moses accomplished and scripted was a testimony, bearing witness that all things would occur just as they did, having been prophesized, as our Lord Jesus Christ was born from above and fulfilled the promises of our Father. Understanding Father’s Word increases faith because all things have been foretold in the “Holy Bible” and there are “no secrets” if you have eyes that see and ears that hear. Just as Christ was with us and returned to His Father, He shall come again, and you really want to be ready, knowing our “King of kings and Lord of lords” and the time of His visitation, from that of the first/false christ who is satan.

Hebrews 3:6 says, “But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.” All of mankind who love, claim and walk the Christ-like path make up the “house”, which is the “many membered Body of Christ Jesus.” “If” is a condition that makes you a part of the House of Almighty God since it is by His design. If you lack faith in Father, question or doubt Him, it is very hard to be a part of the many membered Body of Christ Jesus because there is a lack of belief in the power of Father God. It is not enough to know or to believe Almighty God exists and that Christ Jesus is His Beloved Son. Even satan, the fallen angels and his children know of the existence of Father God, however they were not and are not obedient to His Power and Might. Therefore, what good is the faith and belief you claim if you have no “confidence {assurance}” or “hope {joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation}” in the “Promises of Almighty God” which gives you a reason to “rejoice {be glad, boasting to the glory of}.”

Hebrews 3:7 says, “Wherefore (as the Holy Spirit saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,” When seeds of truth are planted through the Holy Spirit by the very elect, pray for understanding which means you are opening your eyes and listening to what our LORD has to say. Psalms 95:1 – 6 says, “O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.” “Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.” “For the LORD [is] a great God, and a great King above all gods.” “In his hand [are] the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills [is] his also.” “The sea [is] his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry [land].“ “O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.” Verse 7 says, “For he [is] our God; and we [are] the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,” We, mankind, are the sheep of Father’s pasture, nourished by His Holy Word, who is Christ Jesus, who draws all men unto Him [John 10:1 – 4]. Spiritually speaking, you will starve to death if you absorb your spirit in the doctrines and traditions of pulpit gurus [John 10:5]. Verse 8 says, “Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, [and] as [in] the day of temptation in the wilderness:” If you do not understand the Word of Father God and obey His instructions, rather, hardening your heart with man’s philosophies, just as the children wandered forty {trials, probation, testing} years and never entered into the promised land, as you live in this generation, you will not wait on our True Christ, and be deceived by the first/false christ. Verse 9 - 11 says, “When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.” “Forty years long was I grieved with [this] generation, and said, It [is] a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:” “Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.” “Sincerely” consider Father’s Truths, His Word, who is our Living Word, Christ Jesus. You are either walking a Christ-like path or you are playing church with pulpit gurus who are filling the minds of Father’s children with foolishness {wandering}. You can deceive other people as you look like a christian, however Father knows what we do not have the ability to know, and that is what is truly within your heart and mind, and how great your love is for Him. Having peace of mind is “rest {sabbath} in our Father God” which comes through “Christ Jesus” which brings you joy, eliminating any doubts in the promises of our LORD.

Hebrews 3:8 says, “Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:” “Provocation” means “to provoke, exasperate, to rouse to indignation - anger.” Father God freed the children from the bondage of Pharaoh and they ended up having a pity party of disobedience and “hardened their hearts” toward Father who showed them over and over how much He loved them. Father showed them one miracle after another as He parted the Red Sea, gave them water to drink from a rock, feeding them manna from Heaven, protecting them from all that was evil, and they showed their love and appreciation for Father by demonstrating a lack of faith, being disobedient and turning to false gods. That which Father promised to them, they feared to enter and claim the victory of His precious love. When Moses was communing with Father God, receiving the Commandments of Love, the people, lost in ignorance were busy building an idol to worship with the very treasures Father bestowed upon them. With all Father had given to His children whom He so loved, they turned their back on Him, “hardening their hearts”, provoking Almighty God to “anger.” As we live in this generation, we are being taught not to make the same mistakes the children made in the wilderness. They were a generation who heard the mighty voice of Father God, and they erred. We are a generation of faith, and look around, so many, playing church, serving their pulpit gurus with their doctrines and traditions, and their ministries, and do err. If you do not hear what our Father has to say, you are the mirror image of those children in the wilderness, just a different time and a different place, however just as they, being biblically illiterate, serving the idolatrous traditions of men who require that which they can see, feel and touch over that which our Father gives to us through “His Precious Word.”

Hebrews 3:9 says, “When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.” Rather than walk in fear, trust Father God who always keeps His promises. Just as Father promised to remove His children from the bondage of Pharaoh to a promised land, He did. Father did not turn His back on His children, He never left or forsook them, they forsook our Father. Our LORD was right there with them and they feared going into the promised land because the giants were going to eat them. How pitiful. The children wandered forty years, a journey which as we might say, was right around the corner. Father had a purpose for this journey, and the children failed, never even entering the promised land; a whole generation. They so easily forgot all that Father had shown them through His love during those forty years of wandering. We are a generation of faith, and they were a generation who visually saw the power of Father through His miracles, and still did not believe, trust, be obedient to, listen and follow Almighty God. Do not make this same mistake. Believe in Father and His promises by studying His Word, understanding His Truths, ready to stand against the first/false christ who is satan, when he is cast to this earth to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind, fooling the fools into believing he is our True Christ. For those who bow down and worship satan, not realizing who he is until actually seeing our True Christ return to this earth, there shall be a penalty paid as the cup of wrath will be poured out upon them by Christ Jesus. And then Father God, His love for His children so great, even after having angered Him as you bowed down before His enemy, has given mankind the Millennial Kingdom teaching where at this time, Christ our King reigning, will bring each and every heart and mind to the truth. If there are any so ignorant even after this one thousand year teaching who will not reach out and embrace Father God, consider yourself as those who never entered the promised land, since you will not enter into the Eternal Kingdom of Almighty God, which is our promised land.

Hebrews 3:10 says, “Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in [their] heart; and they have not known my ways.” Father God showed those who wandered in the wilderness many miracles of love and they still did not follow His ways, His path, rather they complained, groaned, moaned and doubted the power of Father. How could this not cause our Father to “grieve” within His heart when He laid down before them everything they needed, and more. As it was, so it is today. As we now live, Father God has given mankind His Precious Word, and most of the people of this earth have no clue as to what it says, let alone what it means. It is far easier to listen to the doctrines and traditions of men than to “ask” Father for a seed of truth planted within their minds. To “knock” on the door of Father’s heart through belief in Christ Jesus who is our Intercessor to Father, and “seek” that increase of knowledge only our LORD God Almighty can give. Most of those calling themselves christians do not even know why we are born from above, what the sin in the garden was, where satan is now and when he shall be cast to this earth. They call themselves christians and do not even know the seven events that consummate the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age. They call themselves christians and they believe they are going to fly away, rapture, take off any moment now. They call themselves christians and they do not even know to have oil within their lamps and gospel armor in place to retard the fiery darts of satan when he is upon the earth in great deception. They call themselves christians and they do not even know Christ Jesus shall return to this earth {Second Advent} as “King of kings and Lord of lords to claim His wife/bride” to establish the Millennial Kingdom, where He shall reign supreme. Yet, those calling themselves christians continue to play church, just as those who wandered in the wilderness, jeopardizing their very souls. Is there any wonder this ignorance would cause our Father to “grieve {to be wroth or displeased with}” inside of Himself.

Hebrews 3:11 says, “So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)” That generation who wandered in the wilderness for forty years having no belief and faith in Father God most certainly did not enter into that promised land. Faith is the foundation of “rest in Father God.” To have faith in His promises, you have to know what they are, which means you must study the Word of Almighty God and show yourself approved [II Timothy 2:15]. Father God instructed His children to remind Him of His promises made in Isaiah 43:26 which says, “Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.” Father knows the promises He has made and wants to know if you know them as well, and you cannot know them if you are not familiar with His Word. Truth keeps you from doubt and questioning the reasons why things occur as they do within your life, our life, the world. Father God is Faithful, He is Jealous, demonstrates righteous indignation and will chastise. Father God responds according to the actions of mankind, people, especially those calling themselves christians who are liars. Here is what Christ will say to most of the pulpit gurus throughout this whole earth when He returns at the Second Advent. Matthew 7:22 says, “Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?” And to them Christ shall say as Matthew 7:23 teaches, “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” “Never” is a very long time. “Never [Strong’s Concordance Greek Word No. 3763 - oudepote {oo-dep'-ot-eh} – from 3761 and 4218]” means, “at any time; ever; at no time in the past or future; at all; certainly not in any circumstances.” Follow biblically illiterate, get-over religious fanatics and you risk your soul. Stop talking christianity and be a christian, which means you are following a Christ-like path. Study the whole Word of Father God, spiritually, so you are as a virgin bride when Christ returns for the marriage at the Seventh Trump and you do not experience the “wrath” of Almighty God at that time for having served satan in ignorance, nor at the time of Judgment which occurs after the Millennial Kingdom teaching. As for now, stop wandering in babble and confusion called religion so you are not as those who never entered into the promised land {spiritually speaking}. Have your lamps full and be ready for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ as “King of kings and Lord of lords.”

Hebrews 3:12 says, “Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.” “Take heed” means “to discern mentally, observe, perceive, discover, understand – be extremely careful.” “Unbelief” means “unfaithfulness, faithless - without trust (in God), doubting.” Father God loves His children so much, that He, through Christ Jesus, gave up His life on the cross, our “Perfect Sacrifice, tasting death”, for our sins. Christ Jesus taught us as He walked upon this earth, the way and the path to the “Light of Truth, our Loving Word, who is Yeshua, Christ Jesus.” Father is not pleased when any of His children play church, looking so holy, following religious philosophies, listening to their pulpit gurus who have allowed kenites to sit in the highest places of authority within “their church buildings.” When you follow the doctrines and traditions of men, there lies your belief, and you have “an evil heart that has departed from YAHOVAH, Father God Almighty.” Our Father has emotions we as human beings cannot even begin to imagine the magnitude of. Our LORD gave His life for us, His children, and to doubt and have “unbelief” in His Truths deeply hurts our Father. If you want to have no hope, turn your back on Father and continue to play church, or, pay no attention to Father at all. When the very elect of Father God plant seeds of truth, and any of Father’s children turn deaf ears, determined to do it their own way, you have made your choice and “departed from Father.” When satan is cast to this earth for the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind, your choice to bow down and worship him, the very enemy of Father God who brought about His crucifixion on that cross, you had best be prepared to receive Father’s choice, called a “cup of wrath {Revelation – Chapter 14 {9 – 11}.” 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.” Therefore, our “Father is a Living God”, and it is through believe in “His Beloved Son Christ Jesus that mankind becomes partakers of everlasting life”, if, you believe.

Hebrews 3:13 says, “But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” “Exhort” means “to instruct, teach one another – daily, studying the Word of Father God.” If you call yourself a christian and are not studying the truth of Father’s Word, Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Precept upon Percept, you are not a christian, you are a religious person playing church, your walk one of doctrines and traditions of men, which make void the Word of our LORD God Almighty within your biblically illiterate minds as you are charmed into sin {deceitfulness of sin} by those people and things that look and sound holy, which are not. If you are not studying and listening to the teachings of Father, it is impossible to believe because you have no clue as to how Father feels, and what it is He is saying to you, for you, and about you. Father God, because of His great love for His children, is very patient as is taught in II Peter – Chapter 3, speaking of “longsuffering.” It is the will of our Father that all of mankind come before “His Throne of Grace and Mercy” and repent of sins committed in the “Precious Name of Christ Jesus.” Isaiah 55:6 & 7 says, “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:” “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.” That means “today”, and every day until our True Christ returns.

Hebrews 3:14 says, “For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;” “Partakers” means “sharing in - together.” “Stedfast” means “stable, fast, firm – standing.” Believing in Christ Jesus, repenting of sins before the Throne of Father God Almighty, who forgives all true hearts, you are now a “partaker” with Christ Jesus, if, which is the condition, you stand on the Truth of Father’s Word. You can only stand on that truth if you know it. You will not know truth if you do not judge the tree by its fruit, hearing what is spoken from the mouth of the bearer, taking those seeds planted to Father God who can give you the increase of knowledge for understanding. Father God will help you discern the truth from a lie when it comes to His Word if you ask him, study and “stand” on those truths once you have understanding, which gives you confidence, and there is no longer any room in your heart for doubt and unbelief in Father God Almighty. If you want Christ Jesus to be within you, the commandments of Father God must be kept as is taught in John 14:23 which says, “Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” Father God does not want you to be as the Laodiceans of Revelation – Chapter 3. They were as reeds shaking in the wind and this is not what our Father wants, nor will He accept. He wants His children standing “stedfast” with “confidence” in “His Truths only¸ unto the end.” If you are deceived by satan as the first/false christ ready to rapture, fly away, any moment off to never, never land, you surely are not “standing” for Father God, doing His work, until our True Christ returns.

Hebrews 3:15 says, “While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.” “Provocation” means “to provoke, exasperate, to rouse to indignation - anger.” To hear the voice of Father means to have the Holy Spirit speak to you wherein when you hear a truth you accept it, seek the increase only Father God can give, and walk in understanding. Truth draws you deeper and deeper into the “Holy Word.” If you do not listen and accept those seeds of truth planted by the very elect, rather “hardening {to become obstinate or stubborn}, your heart, you become as those who wandered forty years and never entered the promised land. When Father God has given mankind all things to help with understanding truth and by choice you decide to play church, our LORD is not happy and is provoked to anger by His children who are disobedient because they are not listening to the instructions of our Father through His Word.

Hebrews 3:16 says, “For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.” Through and by Father God, Moses led the children to the promised land, however there were many who just would not stay on that path of faith, and as a result, they never entered into that land prepared for them of milk and honey. They feared giants that did not exist since Father had removed anything from that promised land that could cause them harm. In this generation, if you doubt the promises of Father, bowing down and worshiping satan as the first/false christ, and continue in that ignorance after having been taught by Christ Jesus through the Millennial Kingdom teaching, just as those that wandered and passed away never entering the promised land, the salvation of your soul can be lost when satan is loosed for a short time for that final testing taught of in Revelation – Chapter 20. Just as there were no giants in the promised land, satan at this time shall have no power whatsoever. All shall see him for the vile, weak, powerless entity that he is, and any who follow him into perdition will do so by their own choosing, risking their souls to become ashes from within.

Hebrews 3:17 says, “But with whom was he grieved forty years? [was it] not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?” Father was “displeased {grieved}” with those who lacked faith in His promises, and when we are not faithful, Father will chastise. Father is loving and kind toward His children, and when He blesses, it is expected that those blessings are received with thanksgiving, which means you do not act foolishly. It is not always satan and his entourage that cause us to have hills to climb and a rocky path to maneuver through. Our own ignorance of Father’s Truths, and not recognizing and accepting blessings with thanksgiving, can cause us to fall in the wilderness, which for us in this generation means, can cause our Shepherd, who is Christ Jesus, to desert us, for He is a Perfect blessing within our lives. There is no perfection in any of mankind, and all fall short. Father knows this and that is why He has given each of us the opportunity to recognize and understand our sins, and with a true heart, come before His Throne of grace, mercy and love, seeking forgiveness. Father loves His children, and when He forgives our sins, placing us back on that path of righteousness, it is our responsibility to stay firm upon the Rock of our Foundation, who is Christ Jesus. Spiritually, for all of this generation who do not open ears to hear and eyes to see, understanding those events that consummate the end of this flesh generation, that death in the wilderness will rear its ugly head once again, only this time the risk is spiritual death.

Hebrews 3:18 says, “And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?” If you are not in Father God Almighty, rather sinning, lacking faith, and not following His truths, there is no rest. Peace of mind comes only through Father God when you rest in our Living Word, who is Christ Jesus. “Rest” is “the heavenly blessedness in which God dwells, and of which he has promised to make persevering believers in Christ partakers after the toils and trials of life on earth are ended.”

Hebrews 3:19 says, “So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.” “Unbelief” means “lacking faith and trust in Father God.” There is only one way to demonstrate faith and that is by studying Father’s Truths, seeking that increase of understanding only He can give, and believing, avoiding doubt, and when falling short, repenting in the precious name of Christ Jesus. Ultimately, at the appointed time, believing in our Father will lead to everlasting life. Christ Jesus is our Living Word and it is through Him that we walk that path to our rest, who is Almighty God, Eternal Life. 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.”
