When Paul wrote Hebrews, he already knew that the church would be raptured, that the Tribulation would be principally directed toward the Jews, and that a person in the Tribulation would have to endure to the end to be saved, Matt 10:22, Heb 3:6, 14. In v.1 Holy brethren are...
The word “soul” is often just a reference to a human being, a person, as in Gen 46:15, 18, 22, 25-27. So, when the Bible refers to a man loving his own soul and doing good to his own soul, he loves himself. This kind of love is not the...
In anticipation of the Lord’s return Paul exhorted us to do some things so much the more, Heb 10:25. Paul wrote in Heb 10:24, And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works. Prayer is good work. In Col 4:12 Paul noted that Epaphras was...

In the beginning of Paul’s epistle to the Hebrews, he establishes immediately that Jesus is better than angels. The entire chapter is devoted to enumerating the numerous ways in which Jesus is so much better than they are. The reason for proving that Jesus is better than angels is that...
In Neh 2:4-5, when the king asked Nehemiah to make his request, Nehemiah prayed and then he spoke. This is the proper order when making a request, answering a question, or confronting someone. Pray then speak. Too often we react too quickly and speak first, without praying. Nehemiah had...
