Every one can understand, when once we find that the word means almost always covenant," how great the temptation is to translate it so in but two other occurrences, especially as before and after it means "covenant" in the same passage. '"Jesus taught that prior to His death hell was divided into the two compartments; those who were being comforted by Abraham, Lazarus being comforted in Abraham's bosom, Abraham the father of those who believe. (2.) And so, in his envy, he hunted his brother until he killed him. Rend. Mattathias and his sons and those like-minded took to the hills; and once again the phrases used to describe their life there were in the mind of the writer to the Hebrews and he has echoes of them over and over again. This statement is so much the more remarkable, because in the beginning of this epistle he had pointed out what became God. [2.] "This corruption must put on incorruption, this mortal must put on immortality" ( 1 Corinthians 15:53 ). It is an excellent thing for persons to be seriously religious when in the midst of worldly business and enjoyments, to despise the world when they are most capable of relishing and enjoying it. The greater part of the affections of the Christian are drawn out toward our Saviour by all this scene of sin and sorrow through which we are passing on to heaven. Those who forsook Egypt must expect the wrath of men; but they need not fear it, for they are under the conduct of that God who is able to make the wrath of man to praise him, and restrain the remainder of it. All these died before the final unfolding of God's promise and the coming of his Messiah into the world. But the apostle takes all this difficulty by the horns, as good as telling them, that their having suffered all this was simply because it is the right road. He presses the fact of a new principle, as well as an institution established on better promises, upon the Jews. Another man writes that, however poor a home is, it is better to live at home than epi ( G1909) xenes ( G3581) , in a foreign country. If we examine the historical facts as found in the Old Testament story, what is it rises up before all eyes as to Zion? I may not live to see it, death may come to me before that promise becomes a fact; but I am a link in its fulfilment. (2.) He necessarily completes all as the pattern for the Christian. There it was in the Psalms. Implicit faith and obedience are due to God, and to him only. He became one of the greatest of all Egyptian generals; in particular he conquered the Ethiopians when they were threatening Egypt and in the end was married to an Ethiopian princess. In the end they tore him apart on the catapult and flayed him alive. His faith influenced his practice. (2.) The actings of Abraham's faith in so great a trial: he obeyed; he offered up Isaac; he intentionally gave him up by his submissive soul to God, and was ready to have done it actually, according to the command of God; he went as far in it as to the very critical moment, and would have gone through with it if God had not prevented him. When the people of England saw how the storm and the gale had shattered the Spanish Armada, they said: "God did it." (2.) We're going to break out of here." It is easy to argue: "Why should I refuse the pleasure of the moment for an uncertain future?" God usually warns sinners before he strikes; and, where his warnings are slighted, the blow will fall the heavier. The Christian believes in the spirit rather than the senses. I'm looking for my dwelling with God in His eternal kingdom. But yet, in their death they did not enter into the kingdom of God and into that eternal glory. That this Isaac was his only-begotten son by his wife Sarah, the only one he was to have by her, and the only one that was to be the child and heir of the promise. The fact is, that love of uniformity may mislead some, as love of variety misled our English translators too often. But a God who is a mathematician need not care. . By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed both of the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, as he leaned on the top of his staff. Christ, therefore, goes into heaven, and will come again apart from sin. They could not deny it to be written in the fortieth psalm. Those who have been marked out must ever remember and acknowledge free and distinguishing grace. (1.) The infant Moses was about to touch the jewels when Gabriel took his hand and put it on the coals. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins." The treasury was sacked. But why should it be "testament" in these two verses alone, and "covenant" in all other places? He was tried by preferment and power in the court of Pharaoh, and yet his faith held out and carried him through to the last. He had to go out into the unknown; yet he went. But mark another striking and instructive feature of this chapter. The king was determined that hidden children should be sought out and killed. (3.) Moses gave up earthly glory for the sake of the people of God. The blessing of Jacob is given in Genesis 48:9-22. It is a happy thing where yoke-fellows draw together in the yoke of faith, as heirs of the grace of God; and when they do this in a religious concern for the good of their children, to preserve them not only from those who would destroy their lives, but from those who would corrupt their minds. But after the night was passed, the moon sank and the sun rose again and Abraham said: "Truly these heavenly bodies are no gods, for they obey law; I will worship him who imposed the law upon them. Earlier God had promised Abraham that his descendants would return to Canaan after the fourth generation: (1) Abraham, (2) Isaac, (3) Jacob, and (4) Joseph: And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. As we read of these people of great faith, we see that they made their mark in history because of their faith. There is then the solemn admonition of the account they are to render by-and-by. God is able to raise the dead, to raise dead bodies, and to raise dead souls. Many legends gathered around his name. He argues that the word "new" puts the other out of date, and this to make room for a better. The wilderness generations This was in the same spirit of faith exhibited by Jacob when he gave a similar commandment concerning his remains, requiring that he be buried in Canaan, not in Egypt; Joseph's bones were brought along. Hebrews 11:22. On the other hand, the priests, Aaron's family, among the sons of Levi, "have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham." "For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. Obey your leaders, and submit yourselves; for they watch for your souls, as those that shall give account." It is I likely that the Hebrew believers were somewhat unruly. The writer to the Hebrews is here seeking to inspire new courage and a new sense of responsibility by making his hearers remember their past. There can be no such thing as religion without that belief. The sun rose in all its glory and Abraham said: "Surely the sun is God, the Creator!" By faith they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land: and the Egyptians attempting to do it were drowned ( Hebrews 11:28-29 ). 1. First of all, it is love that calls us to the path that Christ trod; next, it is love that chastens us. He saw two crows fighting and one killed the other, then dug a hole with its beak and buried it. in the other scale the best of the world, and in his judgment, directed by faith, the worst of religion weighed down the best of the world. "For this he did once, when he offered up himself. And their relation to their leaders he puts forward in various forms. No man ever did anything great without a vision which enabled him to face the difficulties and discouragements of the way. Then shall they seek him, and find him, if they seek him with all their heart; and when once they have found him, as their reconciled God, they will never repent the pains they have spent in seeking after him. The first man replies: "I know." The reason for the success of his salvation - his ability to deal with both our outward sins and our inward condition - is that he lives forever with power to save. Strengthened by the LORD, may you abound in all things in Christ to the glory and the praise and the honor of our God, our Savior, and our Lord. Now, the faith of Isaac thus prevailing over his unbelief, it has pleased the God of Isaac to pass by the weakness of his faith, to commend the sincerity of it, and record him among the elders. They went about in sheepskins, in goatskins, they were in want, they were oppressed, they were maltreated--the world was not worthy of them--they wandered in desert places and on the mountains, they lived in caves and in holes of the earth. He is suddenly ushered upon the scene. Carefully observe that it is the tabernacle, never the temple. Though they had not received the promises, yet. It was said that 80,000 Jews were killed and 10,000 sold into captivity. They were not mindful of that country whence they came. But see what it cost to enable it to come! He went out, not knowing whither he went. God's summons meant that he had to leave home and family and business; yet he went. (3.) Observe here, (1.) The other descendants of Abraham honoured the house of Aaron as Levitical priests; but Abraham himself, and so Levi himself, and of course Aaron, in his loins honoured Melchisedec. Because of the order in which it comes that must be what Hebrews 11:27 refers to. There came a day when the situation ignited. Every one of them refused what the world calls greatness and staked everything on God--and history proved them right. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Accordingly it is shown that such an one becomes an adversary of the Lord, and God will deal with him as such. For he was afraid that the Hebrews, because they were having so many children, would become a threat to the security of Egypt. little thinking that he was to be the lamb; but Abraham knew it, and yet he went on with the great design. So as Jesus said to Martha grieving over her brother Lazarus, "If you live and believe in Me, you will never die." In Hebrews 6:1-20, we saw that the Spirit of God brings in a most solemn warning for those who turn their back on the power and presence of the Holy Ghost, as bearing witness of Christianity. In this phrase there is no allusion whatever to the church; nor indeed anywhere in the Hebrews is there any reference to its distinctive portion in union with its Head. And a lot has been made over that. May God grant to us to leave behind not a germ of evil but a lovely thing in which the lives of those who come afterwards will find blessing. Alas! (i) The Book of Wisdom ( Wis_4:10 ff.) And I see the evidence of God's existence, and thus, faith. Observe the due regard that Abraham had to this heavenly city: he looked for it; he believed there was such a state; he waited for it, and in the mean time he conversed in it by faith; he had exalted and rejoicing hopes, that in God's time and way he should be brought safely to it. Thus it is evident that the introduction of the last trial of Abraham was of all possible moment to every one that stood in the place of a son of Abraham. "For by it the elders obtained a good report." We should do the same. The idea being of God asking Abraham to give the most cherished possession that he had to Him. The Christian stands between the cross and the glory of the Lord Jesus. As it was God's will and the work of Christ, so the Holy Ghost is He who witnesses to the perfectness of it. He was brought before Antiochus and ordered to eat swine's flesh, being threatened with the direst penalties if he refused. But he chose, rather, to identify himself with God's people; suffering the affliction of God's people than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season. (7.) They did not send an army to oppose him; such was the might of Rome that they did not need to. It was by faith that he carried out the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, so that the destroying angel might not touch the children of his people. There was a time when Israel was threatened by the armies of Nebuchadnezzar led by his general Holofernes. Yet, I do not doubt His existence, because of the evidence that is all around. Christ is that Lamb, he is our Passover, he was sacrificed for us. "Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, and offer him as a sacrifice in the place that I will show you" ( Genesis 22:2 ). Cain took the earth and everything stationary; Abel took everything moveable. Accordingly advantage is taken of an unquestionable meaning of the word for this added illustration, which is based on the death of Christ, "Where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator." Second, to see the abode of the wicked so that he might know what the punishment of the evil was like. Nothing but absolute establishment of heart in God's grace could have gazed on a destroyed universe, and yet call it a "promise." Augustine said: "We are sojourners exiled from our fatherland." That he is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him. In every point of view, therefore, the superiority of the Melchisedec priest was demonstrated over the line of Aaron. II. About the year 170 B.C. others were tortured, not accepting deliverance ( Hebrews 11:35 ); Their faith caused them to make their stand firm for God and they were tortured for their faith. Instead of pining after that which is about to be destroyed, or repining at the call to go out to the place of Christ's shame on earth, Christianity, which replaces Judaism now, may well cause us to offer "the sacrifice of praise to God continually." How Canaan is called the land of promise, because yet only promised, not possessed. Biblical Commentary Hebrews 11:29 - 12:2 EXEGESIS: THE CONTEXT: Hebrews 11 is the great faith chapter of the Bible, first defining faith (v. 1) and then using well-known Hebrew people to show faith in action. Another story tells that, when Noah was building the ark, the people laughed at him and counted him mad. a man-child, a child of the promise, and comfort of his parents' advanced years, and the hope of future ages. In point of fact they were reaching out after something better, I mean, the heavenly country. The reward of his faith in this great trial (, He blessed them; that is, he resigned them up to God in covenant; he recommended God and religion to them; he prayed for them, and prophesied concerning them, what would be the condition, and the condition of their descendants: we have the account of this in. As Faber had it: The Christian believes that no man who takes the side of God can ever ultimately be on the losing side for, even if he knows earth's defeats, there is a victory whose trophies are in heaven. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? It is not seniority of birth, but grace, that makes men truly honourable. And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant." Well, the word provide, the base word of provide is vision, provision. "Hey where you headed, fella?" It 'became Him that Christ should suffer. God's warning comes to us in many ways. The devil instructed him in this in a dream." (iii) It culminated in the ability to believe in the impossible. Our being brought to God supposes, and is founded on the fact, that our sins are gone perfectly by His one offering; otherwise no madness is greater than indulging such a thought. Lord, we pray that You will continue the work of Your Spirit within our hearts as we yield ourselves to You, to walk in fellowship with You through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, to live in that hope of eternal life in and through Him. See how this word, this thought, always predominates in the epistle. 3. Joseph (Hebrews 11:22; this story is found in Genesis 50:24-25). The sting is gone. They were given the promises of the kingdom of God. There is no real contradiction. But even the apostle felt his own need of the prayers of the faithful, not because he had gone wrong, but because he was conscious of no hindrance to his work from a had conscience. "For every high priest is constituted to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. We translate it, "Jehovah will provide." You may find great pleasure and excitement in the indulging of your flesh, but it doesn't last. Ours should as well. The fulfilment of the Melchisedec Order is found in Christ, and in Him alone. The writer to the Hebrews goes further. That was a wicked and a cruel edict, that all the males of the Israelites should be destroyed in their infancy, and so the name of Israel must be destroyed out of the earth. not to sin, for so God tempteth no man, but only tried his faith and obedience to purpose. And Abraham said, "Son, the Lord will provide Himself a sacrifice" ( Genesis 22:7-8 ). No doubt that is true; but, if we want to see this story at its greatest and as the writer to the Hebrews saw it, we must take it at its face value. He gave his spirit so that we might have power to say "no" to sin. From them, by this son, sprang a numerous progeny of illustrious persons. And he sprinkled likewise with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. The word is, "Jehovah has vision." This is the last thing which Moses records respecting the patriarchs, and it deserves to be particularly noticed; for wealth, luxuries, and honors, made not the holy man to forget the promise, nor detained him in Egypt; and this was an evidence of no small faith. For the law maketh men priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath which was since the law, a Son perfected (or consecrated) for ever." I. No doubt, natural affection could not but move them; but there was something further. His righteousness was relative, resulting from his adoption, through faith in the promised seed. But He said, "I came to open the prison to those that were bound, setting the captive free." Thursday, January 12, 2023 Hebrews 12:5 -- On Love and Memory "And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:" Hebrews 12:5 This points out a couple of areas where we are frequently weak. He had to wander in it, a stranger and a tent-dweller, as the people were some day to wander in the wilderness. ", Finally, he beseeches his brethren to hear the word of exhortation. Without hesitation they choose God ( Daniel 3:1-30). Accordingly we have the third use of the seat Christ has taken. He will have nothing more to do with sin. One of the old Greek fathers said: "Up to this time no man had died so that Cain should know how to kill. By a testament, to be sure, as every one knows. He alludes, in the beginning of our chapter, to the historical facts of Genesis. He has nothing more to do with sin; He will judge man who rejects Himself and slights sin. For he was waiting for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. In the second part of the passage the writer to the Hebrews tells what these men did and others like them in a series of machine-gun-like phrases. He was said to be the first to put pen to paper and instruct men from books. (c) In Hebrews 11:13 he uses the word parepidemos ( G3927) . I am looking for my permanent home. and of Elisha ( 2 Kings 4:8 ff.) Sprinkling on the lentils and the doorposts, interestingly enough, gives you the sprinkling in the shape of a cross. He refused in anger. It might paint the mental picture of the extraordinary healing of Hezekiah after he had turned his face to the wall to die ( 2 Kings 20:1-7). Second, we will remember that, even when it may not look like it, somehow God is in control. All the saints are heirs of the same promise. And the other says despairingly: "You must be mad.". The difference is very great. But it is the language for us to learn and speak, as we are called to rest on God and not on the creature. First of all, as has been hinted, that which suggests "testament" is the end of verse 15 "They which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance." They cared not to engage much in it. For there is nothing in this world commensurate to the love of God in being the God of his people; and, if God neither could nor would give his people anything better than this world affords, he would be ashamed to be called their God. To what then are we come? That, after the fall, God opened a new way for the children of men to return to him in religious worship. In calling and converting sinners, God appears as a God of glory, and works a glorious work in the soul. Observe here, (1.) So wilt thou not have to bear the reproach of thy wandering. My spirit moves out of this old tent into the new house, a building of God not made with hands that is eternal in the heavens. You ought to have the consciousness that there is no judgment for you with God by-and-by, however truly He, as a Father, judges you now on earth. (ii) Noah was not deterred by the mockery of others. I'm afraid I have been. The story we have ; Joshua 6:5, &c. Here observe, 1. "He taketh away the first." 9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Isaac has not yet had any children. Christ accounts himself reproached in their reproaches; and, while he thus interests himself in their reproaches, they become riches, and greater riches than the treasures of the richest empire in the world; for Christ will reward them with a crown of glory that fades not away. Hereby he judged and condemned the world; his holy fear condemned their security and vain confidence; his faith condemned their unbelief; his obedience condemned their contempt and rebellion. 11:13-16 All these died without obtaining possession of the promises. His deliverance was strange; still more his decision and its results. The apostle earnestly insists on them both. [2.] Although the blood on which that covenant was founded may be now long shed, when the covenant comes into force for them will it not be as fresh as the day the precious Victim died and shed His blood? There it was written, "Lo, I come to do thy will, O God." Selecteer de afdeling waarin je wilt zoeken. He that possesses the one must not eschew the other. "I will go home," he said. They were not mindful of that country whence they came, ; Hebrews 11:15. (1.) In all the other passages of the epistle the meaning of the word is, that He took His seat, or simply sat down there. (2.) Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God." (i) Abraham's faith was the faith that was ready for adventure. Let peoples serve you and nations bow down to you." They trusted Gods promise that they would have a son and through him a multitude of descendants, even though they were both past the age when they might normally expect to have children (11-12; cf.
