Hebrews in the Tribulation This is Part 3 in a 4 part introduction to Paul’s Epistle to the Hebrews. We have been studying Paul’s epistle to the Hebrews from the perspective that Paul knew God would be dealing with the nation of Israel in the Tribulation to bring them to their national new birth.

By His Son This is Part 2 in a 4 part introduction to Paul’s Epistle to the Hebrews.

Introduction to Hebrews This is Part 1 in a 4 part introduction to Paul’s Epistle to the Hebrews. The Book of Hebrews can be a difficult book to understand in places.  Therefore, we want to teach two very important introductory doctrines about Hebrews that might help you understand some of the more difficult passages.  It is obvious that there is something very peculiar...

Heb 13 is very much like 1 Thes 5:12-28 and Rom 12:9-21, for instance.  Each of the verses from 1 to 17 are a succession of divers commands and instructions as Paul brings this letter to a close.  These “bullet points” are unlike the the former chapters.  Paul has finished...

In Heb 12:18-29, Paul exhorts the Hebrews to “refuse not him that speaketh”.  He contrasts the manner in which God spoke to the Jews from Mt Sinai when he gave them the old covenant with the way Jesus speaks to them before fulfilling the new covenant.  The point is that...

In Heb 11:23-40, Paul recounts how former Jewish saints lived by faith and accomplished great things.  By their example, he encourages Jewish Tribulation saints to live by faith, as well.   By faith they overcame fear – 11:23, 27.  Moses’s parents were not afraid of the king’s commandment when they...

This lesson from Heb 10:26-39 deals with Jews who can lose their salvation in the Tribulation.  Paul starts this passage with, “For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins”.  How Can Tribulation Saints Sin Willfully? Essentially,...
