Finishing Hebrews chapter 4, the High Priest and the throne of grace are discussed.
The rest to be entered into is still future. The sharp two-edged sword is the word of God, but also a literal sword of God’s wrath against His enemies. Christ returns to defeat Israel’s enemies, then gives Israel rest from those enemies.
When Hebrews 4 speaks of entering into rest, it isn’t talking about eternal life; it is talking about Israel entering into the land promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and resting because their enemies are defeated. Also examined is the multiplicity of gospels preached throughout the Word of God.
When looking through the scriptures and considering all those who were raised from the dead, one thing stands out: none of them reported what being dead was like. All those who claim to have had an NDE report vividly what they saw. Yet Paul, in II Corinthians 12:1-5, is the only one to ever report an NDE – and he couldn’t tell…
The USA in comparison to the rest of the world has much more political, social and economic liberty. Freedom is something to be cherished and celebrated. Yet all people, even all of creation, is trapped in the bondage of vanity. This is examined in detail in the book of Ecclesiastes as Solomon examines all things “under the sun.” But we don’t have…

When Joshua attacked the city of Ai, he used standard military tactics of deception. He deceived them into believing he had a smaller force than he did. He got them to come out of the city and separate from it by fleeing as in terror. But an ambush was set, and the city was destroyed. This same warfare tactic was used by…
Most Christian tracts that involve the Romans Road to Salvation end up in Romans 10, but Romans 10 has nothing to do with eternal justification before God in the dispensation of grace. The REAL Romans Road to Salvation ends in Romans 5:1.
Brer Rabbit was caught by a fox. From the jaws of the fox, he plead: “Please Mr. Fox, you can do anything you want to me, but please, please don’t throw me into that briar patch.” The fox then threw Brer Rabbit into the briar patch, which in essence freed the sly rabbit. The rabbit outfoxed the fox through wisdom. God outfoxed…
God tells us His ultimate purpose and will in Ephesians 1:9-10: Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even…
