Hebrews Study

The God of the Old Testament commanded and endorsed many practices that we find morally reprehensible today. High on the list was the institution of slavery, which features prominently in several sections of the Hebrew Bible. Fathers could sell their daughters into slavery; masters could beat their slaves; creditors could carry off children for failure to repay a debt; and foreigners could be kept for life, passed down as inherited property. How are we to make sense of all of this from our modern point of view?

לַחֲבוּרַת חַיּוֹת הַיַּעַר כְּבָר נִמְאַס לְגַמְרֵי מֵהַהוֹרָאוֹת הַמְּטוּרְלָלוֹת שֶׁל הָאַרְיֵה. בִּמְיוּחָד אַחֲרֵי שֶׁגִּלּוּ שֶׁהוּא הֶחְלִיט לְהָסִיט אֶת מֵי הַנָּהָר אֶל הַמְּאוּרָה שֶׁלּוֹ כְּדֵי לִבְנוֹת לְיָדָהּ בְּרֵכָה פְּרָטִית – אֵיפֹה נִשְׁמָע דָּבָר כָּזֶה?!

הַחַיּוֹת מַחְלִיטוֹת לַעֲרוֹךְ בְּחִירוֹת וְלִבְחוֹר שַׁלִּיט חָדָשׁ לַיַּעַר. אֲבָל מָה בְּדִיּוּק קוֹרֶה בְּמַעֲרֶכֶת בְּחִירוֹת? לְפִי אֵילוּ כְּלָלִים הִיא מִתְנַהֶלֶת? כֵּיצַד נִבְחָר הַמְּנַצֵּחַ?

Many evangelical Christians have been taught that the Rapture could happen at any time. All those who died in Christ would be resurrected and given a new body. But the lucky ones are those who will be alive when Jesus returns, and they will be caught up from Earth to meet Him in the air. They would never have to face the horrors of death. Their bodies will be instantly transformed, and they will be taken to enjoy the marriage supper of the Lamb. Unfortunately, many who believed and taught this Divine Hope have since “gone on to glory” without fulfilling their dream of being raptured. Or...

I remember when I first began to live for the Lord, Mike Riggs and I were doing a Bible study at noon on the job site, and Mike told me that I should underline the word faith each time it is used in this chapter. It is one of the most impressive chapters of all the Bible. You will notice with me that the chapter begins with the definition of faith. This is traditional Jewish literature in that the Apostle summarizes all that he plans on presenting to us in just the first few words. "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders ...

There is a resounding call in Hebrews that we cannot forget without going astray: "Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach" (13:13). This is a summons to serve Christ the Redeemer-King fully and faithfully, without compromise. In our time, it calls for a break, not only with the prevailing culture of humanistic statism and its messianic claims and pretensions, but also a wayward church that has made itself the handmaiden to Christ's enemies.

In biblical times, culture was all about patriarchs. A person’s ancestors were identified by the fathers, marriages were arranged when girls were 12 years old, and when they became women, they were rarely seen.

By listening to their stories, you will learn why as believers, it is imperative to remember that God extends grace to all.

As Jordan once wrote, "While there have been many excellent translations of the Scriptures into modern English, they still have left us stranded in the long-distant past. We need to have the good news come to us not only in our own tongue but in our ...

“The following day Moses sat to settle disputes for the people, while the people stood around Moses from morning till evening” (Ex 18:13). Moses the judge? In today’s society injustice is much more than a reoccurring theme. Judges sit in the seat of judgment daily making decisions over people’s lives while they stand in front of them awaiting the outcome. We can clearly see similarities to ancient Israel and the modern judicial system, however we can also see similarities to another governing system. African kings, queen mothers and chiefs are the authority of a tribal government! ...

Some people believe questioning the Bible, the direction God is going, or even God himself, is blasphemy. Some think it’s a sign of disbelief. Daniel Thornton is one such man.
