  1. Epistle to the Hebrews —Reality is ‘better’ San Diego Bible Students Convention Bro. Mark Davis, Bro. Tom Gilbert, Bro. Kent Humphreys, Bro. Richard Doctor November 10, 2012

  2. Epistle to the HebrewsReality is ‘better’ This is the epistle of ‘better things.’ Paul writes of a ‘better’ spokesman ‘than the angels’ (Hebrews 1:4); also of ‘better things’ (Hebrews 6:9; 11:40; 12:24); ‘better promises’ (8:6); a ‘better hope’ (7:19); a ‘better testament’ (7:22) or covenant (8:6); a better ‘mediator’ (9:12-15); and a better ‘priesthood’ (7:23,24). Upon the altar (13:10), and in the tabernacle (9:11) are offered ‘better sacrifices’ (9:23). It is a better ‘ministry’ (8:6), leading to a ‘better country’ (11:16), even as the fulfillment, the complete work, is better than the blueprints. J. Meggison - Hebrews

  6. Hebrews 1:8 – translation • Context • Translations • Commentary • Noting that there is no explicit verb in the Hebrew or Greek of either Psalm 45:6 (44:7 Septuagint) or Hebrews 1:8, perhaps the best translation would be, “Thy throne is the throne of God forever and ever; And the sceptre of uprightness is the sceptre of thy kingdom…” This reading would seem to be consistent with Revelation 3:21, “as I also ... Sat down with my Father in his throne…” Beauties of the Truth-August 2012 (Bro. J. Parkinson)

  16. Heb. 4:1—Let us Fear “This concept is specially suitable and timely for the Laodicean Church at this part of the age where there are scriptural warnings to the nominal Christian who is neither wholeheartedly nor really committed to the Lord, where the spirit of the world was not kept out of the church. These are buying peace by compromise. They are self-absorbed, self-satisfied, prosperous, often wealthy, and physically at ease. All this leads to these results: indifference, complacency, lukewarmness.” Beauties of the Truth-August 2012 -D. Skein

Slip” (Hebrews 2:1), and “fall away” (Hebrews 6:6). • “Let us hold fast the confession of our faith, without wavering.. The action to which the apostle calls us is strenuous. We are to lay hold of the Kingdom of God tightly, with both hands. If we do not hold fast our confession, the enemy will take it away from us. This will not necessarily be by violence, but little by little, almost imperceptibly…” Beauties of the Truth-August 2012 -D. Skein

  22. Heb. 4:16 — Let Us Come Boldly • “Here the apostle shows the superiority of the privileges of Christianity above Judaism, for there only the high priest, and he with fear and trembling, was permitted to approach, and that not without the blood of the victim. And if in anything he transgressed, he might be expected to be struck with death. The throne of grace in heaven answers to the propitiatory or mercy seat, but to this throne all may approach with confidence in time of need through our great high priest…” Beauties of the Truth-August 2012 -D.
