TO: All Hebrews
FROM: Jehovah, God of the Hebrews
This confirmation hearing is
written and presented to Hebrews by Jehovah God, testifying with indisputable
evidence, qualifying and justifying God’s Holy truth, removing all doubt, that
His Son, Yeshua, is the heir of all things.
Pray to the Creator, Almighty
JEHOVAH and Holy God to open your ears to hear and your heart to accept His
Word of Truth by revealing the answers for
your troubled soul.
It can only be a God-ordained
fulfillment for both the nation of Israel and their language to be a
nation and a language, then to disappear as a nation and language, and then on
May 14, 1948 be reborn as both a nation and language. It is truly amazing what God does to preserve His beloved people! If you are willing to ask, seek and
knock, then ASK for the truth of this “Book of Hebrews” to be revealed to your
soul, then my friend, you will be free indeed by knowing the complete truth and
purpose of God’s Holy Word.
1 In days gone by, God spoke in many and varied ways to
the Fathers through the prophets. 2
But now, in the acharit-hayamim, He has spoken to us through His Son, to whom
He has given ownership of everything and through whom He created the universe. 3 This Son is the radiance of the
Sh'khinah, the very expression of God's essence, upholding all that exists by
His powerful word; and after He had, through Himself, made purification for
sins, He sat down at the right hand of HaG'dulah BaM'romim. 4 So He has become much better than
angels, and the name God has given Him is superior to theirs. 5 For to which of the angels did God
ever say, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father"? Also,
God never said of any angel, "I will be His Father, and He will be my Son."
6 And again, when God brings his
Firstborn into the world, He says, "Let all God's angels worship
Him." 7 Indeed, when
speaking of angels, He says, “ . . . who makes His angels winds and His
servants fiery flames"; 8
but to the Son, God says, "Your throne, O God, will last forever and ever;
you rule your Kingdom with a scepter of equity; 9 you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. Therefore, O
God, your God has anointed you with the oil of joy in preference to your
companions"; 10 and,
"In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth; heaven is
the work of your hands. 11 They
will vanish, but you will remain; like clothing, they will all grow old; 12 and you will fold them up like a
coat. Yes, they will be changed like clothing, but you remain the same, your
years will never end." 13
Moreover, to which of the angels has He ever said, "Sit at My right hand
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet"? 14 Are not all angels ministering
spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
In this chapter, God brings to mind
how He spoke to your forefathers through the prophets many times and various
ways, but in these Last Days, God speaks through His Son, Yeshua.
God, the Supreme Judge, the Holy
Almighty Jehovah and Creator of life, presents His final edict by a proclamation
concerning the indisputable evidence and His declaration of conformation to you
the jury [mankind] for your heart to decide with God the Father, this
impeccable truth, that His Son, Yeshua, is the Heir of all things!
2. God appointed His only Son
Yeshua, Heir of all things.
3. Through Yeshua, God made the
universe.
4. Yeshua is the radiance of His
Father God’s glory.
5. Yeshua is the exact
representation of His Father God’s being.
6. Yeshua sustains all things by
His powerful Word.
7. Yeshua provided purification for
sins (for each those who chose Him as personal Savior and Lord).
8. Yeshua sits at the right
hand of the Majesty (Father God), in Heaven.
9. Yeshua is as much superior
to angels as the name He has inherited is superior to theirs.
10. God and Yeshua are One: Yeshua
is God-Visible to mankind.
How is it, being like-kind
with Yeshua, having been born a Jew into the Hebrew Nation of Israel, as God’s
select, set apart, chosen people and nation, to have eyes that cannot see and
ears that do not hear the complete truth of God’s message? From the ear to hear to heart!
If you are willing to open your
heart to truth, God’s Holy Spirit will reveal truth to you!
Warning to Pay Attention!
1 Therefore, we must pay much more careful heed to the
things we have heard, so that we will not drift away. 2 For if the word God spoke through angels became binding, so that
every violation and act of disobedience received its just deserts in full
measure, 3 then how will we
escape if we ignore such a great deliverance? This, salvation, which was first
declared by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him; 4 while God also bore witness to it
with various signs, wonders and miracles, and with gifts of the Ruach HaKodesh
which He distributed as He chose. 5
For it was not to angels that God subjected the 'olam haba - which is what we
are talking about. 6 And there is
a place where someone has given this solemn testimony*(Psalms 8:4-6):
"What is mere man, that you concern yourself with him? or the son of man,
that you watch over him with such care? 7
You made Him a little lower than the angels, you crowned Him with glory and
honor, 8 you put everything in
subjection under His feet." In subjecting everything under Him, God left
nothing that is not subject to Him, yet, at present, we don't see everything
subject to Him. 9 But we see
Yeshua - who indeed was made for a little while lower than the angels - now
crowned with glory and honor because He suffered death, so that by God's grace,
Yeshua might taste death for all
humanity. 10 For in bringing
many sons to glory, it was only fitting that God, the Creator and Preserver of
everything, should bring the author of their salvation to the goal through
sufferings. 11 For both Yeshua,
who sets people apart for God, and the ones being set apart have a common
origin - this is why Yeshua is not ashamed to call them brothers 12 when He says, "I will proclaim
your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your
praise." 13 Also, "I
will put my trust in him, . . ." and then it goes on, "Here I am,
along with the children God has given me." 14 Therefore, since the children share a common physical nature as
human beings, Yeshua became like them and shared that same human nature; so
that by His death He might render ineffective the one who had power over death
(that is, the Adversary) 15 and
thus set free those who had been in bondage all their lives because of their
fear of death. 16 Indeed, it is
obvious that he does not take hold of angels to help them; on the contrary,
"He takes hold of the seed of Avraham." 17 This is why He had to become like His brothers in every respect
- so that Yeshua might become a merciful and faithful cohen gadol in the
service of God, making a kapparah for the sins of the people. 18 For since Yeshua Himself suffered
death when He was put to the test, He is able to help those who are being
tested now.
Are we paying attention?
How shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation?
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit inside you. Ezekiel 36:26
Yeshua made like His brothers.
11 For both Yeshua, who sets people apart for God, and the
ones being set apart have a common origin - this is why Yeshua is not ashamed
to call them brothers.
17 This is why He had to become like His brothers in every
respect - so that Yeshua might become a merciful and faithful cohen gadol in the service
of God, making a kapparah for the sins of the people. Hebrews 2:11,17
Yeshua lived among mankind, being
perfect without sin, for He was born of His Father God and not of the earthly
origin of Adam.
Yeshua Greater than Moses
1 Therefore, brothers whom God has set apart, who share
in the call from heaven, think carefully about Yeshua, whom we acknowledge
publicly as God's emissary and as cohen gadol. 2 He was faithful to God, who appointed him; just as "Moshe
was faithful in all God's house." 3
But Yeshua deserves more honor than Moshe, just as the builder of the house
deserves more honor than the house. 4
For every house is built by someone, but the one who built everything is God. 5 Also, Moshe was faithful in all
God's house, as a servant giving witness to things God would divulge later.
6 But the Messiah, as Son,
was faithful over God's house. And we are that house of his, provided we
hold firmly to the courage and confidence inspired by what we hope for. 7 Therefore, as the Ruach HaKodesh
says, "Today, if you hear God's voice, 8 don't harden your hearts, as you did in the Rebellion on that
day in the Wilderness when you put God to the test. 9 Yes, your fathers put me to the test; they challenged me, and
they saw my work for forty years! 10
Therefore, I was disgusted with that generation I said, 'Their hearts are
always going astray, they have not understood how I do things'; 11 in my anger, I swore that they
would not enter my rest." 12
Watch out, brothers, so that there will not be in any one of you an evil heart
lacking trust, which could lead you to apostatize from the living God! 13 Instead, keep exhorting each other
every day, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you will become hardened
by the deceit of sin. 14 For we
have become sharers in the Messiah, provided, however, that we hold firmly to
the conviction we began with, right through until the goal is reached. 15 Now where it says, "Today, if
you hear God's voice, don't harden your hearts, as you did in the
Rebellion," 16 who were the
people who, after they heard, quarreled so bitterly? All those whom Moshe
brought out of Egypt. 17 And
with whom was God disgusted for forty years? Those who sinned - yes, they fell
dead in the Wilderness! 18 And
to whom was it that he swore that they would not enter his rest? Those who were
disobedient. 19 So we see that
they were unable to enter because of their unbelief.
God’s ways are not man’s ways. As far as the heavens are above the earth,
so are God’s ways above man’s. The
greatest prophets of old; Noah, Moses, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Daniel, Ezekiel,
Joshua, and the list goes on and on, are all born of Adam! The One and only Yeshua, God’s Son,
is the only perfect One who saves, forgives all our sins, because of His death,
burial and resurrection. He opens
the door of salvation to any one who receives Him as personal Savior and Lord
of their life.
Our God Is Greater

1 Come, let's sing to ADONAI! Let's shout for joy to the
Rock of our salvation! 2 Let's
come into His presence with thanksgiving; let's shout for joy to Him with songs
of praise. 3 For ADONAI is a
great God, a great King, greater than all gods. 4 He holds the depths of the earth in His hands; the mountain
peaks too belong to Him. 5 The
sea is His - He made it -and His hands shaped the dry land. 6 Come, let's bow down and worship;
let's kneel before ADONAI who made us. Psalms 95
Warning Against Unbelief.
15 Now where it says,
"Today, if you hear God's voice, don't harden your hearts, as you did in
the Rebellion," 19 So we see that they were unable to enter His rest
because of their unbelief. Hebrews 3:15,19
7 For He is our God, and we are the people in His
pasture, the sheep in His care. If only Today
you would listen to His voice: 8
"Don't harden your hearts, as you did at M'rivah, as you did on that day
at Massah in the desert. Psalms 95:7-8
There is no time like today to
prepare for an eternity without end.
1 Therefore, let us be terrified of the possibility that,
even though the promise of entering His rest remains, any one of you might be
judged to have fallen short of it; 2
for the Gospel has also been proclaimed to us, just as it was to them. But the
message they heard didn't do them any good, because those who heard it did not
combine it with faith and trust. 3
For it is we who have trusted who enter the rest. It is just as God said,
"And in my anger, I swore that they would not enter my rest." He
swore this even though his works have been in existence since the founding of
the universe. 4 For there is a
place where it is said, concerning the seventh day, "And God rested on the
seventh day from all his works." 5
And once more, our present text says, "They will not enter My rest." 6 Therefore, since it still remains
for some to enter it, and those who received the Good News of the Gospel
earlier did not enter, 7 God
again fixes a certain day, "Today," saying through David, so long
afterwards, in the text already given, "Today, if you hear God's voice,
don't harden your hearts." 8
For if Y'hoshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later of another
"day." 9 So there
remains a Shabbat-keeping for God's people. 10 For the one who has entered God's rest has also rested from his
own works, as God did from his. 11
Therefore, let us do our best to enter that rest; so that no one will fall
short because of the same kind of disobedience. 12 The Word of God is alive! It is at work and is sharper than any
double-edged sword - it cuts right through to where soul meets spirit and
joints meet marrow, and it is quick to judge the inner reflections and
attitudes of the heart. 13
Before God, nothing created is hidden, but all things are naked and open to the
eyes of Him to whom we must render an account.
Awake O Israel! Call on your God, the same God of Abraham;
bow down before Him asking for mercy and forgiveness. Render your heart and not your clothes; humbly seek Him and
you will find Him when you seek Him with all your heart!
7 For He is our God, and we are the people in His
pasture, the sheep in his care. If only today you would listen to His voice: 8 "Don't harden your hearts, as
you did at M'rivah, as you did on that day at Massah in the desert, 9 when your fathers put me to the
test; they challenged me, even though they saw my work. 10 For forty years I loathed that generation; I said, 'This is a
people whose hearts go astray, they don't understand how I do things.' 11 Therefore I swore in my anger that
they would not enter my rest."
Psalms 95:7-11
Yeshua, The Great High Priest …Forever!
14 Therefore, since we have a great cohen gadol who has
passed through to the highest heaven, Yeshua, the Son of God, let us hold
firmly to what we acknowledge as true. 15
For we do not have a cohen gadol unable to empathize with our weaknesses; since
in every respect Yeshua was tempted just as we are, the only difference being
that He did not sin. 16
Therefore, let us confidently approach the throne from which God gives grace,
so that we may receive mercy and find grace in our time of need. Hebrews 4:14-16
The book of Hebrews brings the way
it was and the way it is, a then world and the now world, to completion in the
order of Malki-Tzedek (Melchizedek).
Just as Malki-Tzedek was the foreshadow/forerunner of Yeshua, the now
Yeshua is being proclaimed by His Father God to be the Great High Priest
forever. The following scriptures tie the prophetic scriptures to their
fulfillment in Yeshua, through God’s progressive revelation to mankind through
God’s Holy Word.
18 Malki-Tzedek king of Shalem brought out bread and wine. He was cohen of El 'Elyon [God Most High], 19 so he blessed him with these words: "Blessed be Avram by El 'Elyon, maker of heaven of earth. 20 and blessed be El 'Elyon, who handed your enemies over to you." Avram gave him a tenth of everything. Genesis 14:18-20
ADONAI has sworn it, and He will never retract -"You,Yeshua
are a cohen forever, to be compared with Malki-Tzedek." Psalms 110:4
Also, as God says in another place, "Yeshua,You are a cohen
forever, to be compared with Malki-Tzedek." Hebrews 5:6 This scripture in Hebrews refers to Psalms 110.
Since Yeshua had been proclaimed by God as a cohen gadol
to be compared with Malki-Tzedek. Hebrews 5:10
We have this hope as a sure and safe anchor for ourselves, a
hope that goes right on through to what is inside the parokhet, 20 where a forerunner has entered on
our behalf, namely, Yeshua, who has become a cohen gadol forever, to be
compared with Malki-Tzedek. Hebrews 6:19
Hebrews Chapter 7
1 This Malki-Tzedek, king of Shalem, a cohen of God
Ha'Elyon, met Avraham on his way back from the slaughter of the kings and
blessed him; 2 also Avraham gave
him a tenth of everything. Now first of all, by translation of his name, he is
"king of righteousness"; and then he is also king of Shalem, which
means "king of peace." 3
There is no record of his father, mother, ancestry, birth or death; rather,
like the Son of God, he continues as a cohen for all time. 4 Just think how great he was! Even
the Patriarch Avraham gave him a tenth of the choicest spoils. 5 Now the descendants of Levi who
became cohanim have a commandment in the Torah to take a tenth of the income of
the people, that is, from their own brothers, despite the fact that they too
are descended from Avraham. 6
But Malki-Tzedek, even though he was not descended from Levi, took a tenth from
Avraham. Also, he blessed Avraham, the man who received God's promises; 7 and it is beyond all dispute that
the one who blesses has higher status than the one who receives the blessing. 8 Moreover, in the case of the
cohanim, the tenth is received by men who die; while in the case of
Malki-Tzedek, it is received by someone who is testified to be still alive. 9 One might go even further and say
that Levi, who himself receives tenths, paid a tenth through Avraham; 10 inasmuch as he was still in his
ancestor Avraham's body when Malki-Tzedek met him. 11 Therefore, if it had been possible to reach the goal through
the system of cohanim derived from Levi (since in connection with it, the
people were given the Torah), what need would there have been for another,
different kind of cohen, the one spoken of as to be compared with Malki-Tzedek
and not to be compared with Aharon? 12
For if the system of cohanim is transformed, there must of necessity occur a
transformation of Torah. 13 The
one about whom these things are said belongs to another tribe, from which no
one has ever served at the altar; 14
for everyone knows that our Lord arose out of Y'hudah, and that Moshe said
nothing about this tribe when he spoke about cohanim. 15 It becomes even clearer if a
"different kind of cohen," one like Malki-Tzedek, arises, 16 one who became a cohen not by
virtue of a rule in the Torah concerning physical descent, but by virtue of the
power of an indestructible life. 17
For it is stated, "You, Yeshua, are a cohen FOREVER, to be compared with
Malki-Tzedek." 18 Thus, on
the one hand, the earlier rule is set aside because of its weakness and
inefficacy 19 (for the Torah did
not bring anything to the goal); and, on the other hand, a hope of something
better is introduced, through which we are drawing near to God. 20 What is more, God swore an oath.
For no oath was sworn in connection with those who become cohanim now; 21 but Yeshua became a cohen by the
oath which God swore when He said to Yeshua, "ADONAI has sworn and will
not change His mind, 'You Yeshua, are a cohen forever.'"
Warning Against Falling Away!
11 We have much to say about this subject, but it is hard
to explain, because you have become sluggish in understanding. 12 For although by this time you ought
to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the very first principles of
God's Word all over again! You need milk, not solid food! 13 Anyone who has to drink milk is
still a baby, without experience in applying the Word about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature,
for those whose faculties have been trained by continuous exercise to distinguish
good from evil. Hebrews 5:11-14
Hebrews Chapter 6
1 Therefore, leaving behind the initial lessons about
Yeshua the Messiah, let us go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation
of turning from works that lead to death, trusting God, 2 and instruction about washings, s'mikhah, the resurrection of
the dead and eternal punishment. 3
And, God willing, this is what we will do. 4 For when people have once been enlightened, tasted the heavenly
gift, become sharers in the Ruach HaKodesh, 5 and tasted the goodness of God's Word and the powers of the
'olam haba - 6 and then have
fallen away - it is impossible to renew them so that they turn from their sin,
as long as for themselves they keep executing the Son of God on the stake all
over again and keep holding him up to public contempt. 7 For the land that soaks up frequent rains and then brings forth
a crop useful to its owners receives a blessing from God; 8 but if it keeps producing thorns and
thistles, it fails the test and is close to being cursed for in the end, it
will be burned. 9 Now even
though we speak this way, dear friends, we are confident that you have the
better things that accompany salvation. 10
For God is not so unfair as to forget your work and the love you showed for him
in your past service to his people - and in your present service too. 11 However, we want each one of you to
keep showing the same diligence right up to the end, when your hope will be
realized; 12 so that you will
not become sluggish, but will be imitators of those who by their trust and
patience are receiving what has been promised. 13 For when God made his promise to Avraham, he swore an oath to
do what he had promised; and since there was no one greater than himself for
him to swear by, he swore by himself 14
and said, "I will certainly bless you, and I will certainly give you many
descendants"; 15 and so,
after waiting patiently, Avraham saw the promise fulfilled. 16 Now people swear oaths by someone
greater than themselves, and confirmation by an oath puts an end to all
dispute. 17 Therefore, when God
wanted to demonstrate still more convincingly the unchangeable character of His
intentions to those who were to receive what He had promised, He added an oath
to the promise; 18 so that
through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we,
who have fled to take a firm hold on the hope set before us, would be strongly
encouraged. 19 We have this hope
as a sure and safe anchor for ourselves, a hope that goes right on through to
what is inside the parokhet, 20
where Yeshua, the forerunner has entered on our behalf, namely, for it is
Yeshua, who has become a cohen gadol forever, in the order of
Malki-Tzedek.
- Warning to Pay Attention
- Warning against Unbelief
- Warning Against Falling Away
Hear O Israel! God has spoken! God wants you to render your heart, not your outward rituals. God gives His people the blessed Hope and that Hope is found in none other but His Son, Yeshua, known only to those who follow Him. The result of Hope is receiving Yeshua as personal Savior and everlasting life in His Kingdom of Heaven! Let everyone that has breath praise the Lord!
