The Prologue to Hebrews Hebrews 1:2 Excerpt As might easily be expected in the Prologue, the writer struck notes which will be crucial to the unfolding of his argument in the body of the epistle. He implied that God’s revelation in the Son has a definitive quality which previous revelation lacked. Moreover the sacrifice for sins which such a One makes must necessarily be greater than other kinds of sacrifices. Finally the Son’s greatness makes preoccupation with angelic dignities entirely unnecessary. Though the Prologue contains no warning—the writer reserved those for later—it carries with it an implicit admonition: This is God’s supremely great Son; hear Him!

The Power of the Word for Testimony Excerpt The psalmist prays for the lovingkindness of the Lord to be manifested in deliverance, according to God’s word. This will enable him to render a decisive answer to those who taunt him with the uselessness of serving God. If he fails to experience this deliverance, then he will be deprived of the power to bear witness to the truth before his tormentors. If God will give him this grace, he resolves to send the rest of his life observing his law. In so doing he will be walking “in a broad place,” i.e., he will know true freedom. Should the opportunity present itself, he is prepared to confess his love for God’s word before rulers. He “lifts up his hands” to God’s commandment, i.e., he shows them the utmost reverence.  More Smith, James E.   The Wisdom Literature and Psalms . Joplin, MO: College Press Pub. Co., 1996. Print.

Mount Carmel: Carmelite Monastery-Interior ‎ The interior of the Carmelite Monastery on Mount Carmel. Elijah’s cave is further down the mountainside. It is thought that he rested in this cave before going out to do battle with the prophets of Ba’al. Jewish tradition also associates this cave with Elijah’s pupil, the prophet Elisha, who lived on the Carmel after him, and some believe that Elisha is buried in the cave. Since the 4th century A.D. it has been a place of pilgrimage for those seeking healing or fertility. Elijah’s struggle for social justice, his ability to perform miracles and the mystery of his rising to heaven in a whirlwind all contribute to the special status he has acquired over the centuries among Jews, Christians, Moslems and Druze.

Pharaoh and Nursemaid ‎The picture shows the young Amenhotep II (1426–1400 BCE) sitting on the lap of his nursemaid. His feet rest on a footstool consisting of the traditional images of the nine common enemies of Egypt. ‎ Ps 110:title–1 ; Luke 20:43 ; Acts 2:35 ; Heb 1:13 ; 10:13

The Purpose of Christ's Death Ephesians 5:26 Excerpt The purpose of Christ’s death was  to make  the church  holy  ( hagiasē,  “to set apart” for Himself as His own forever; cf. Heb.  2:11 ;  10:10 , 14 ;  13:12 ) which He did by  cleansing her by the washing with water through the Word. This is not baptismal regeneration for that would be contrary to Paul’s teaching in this book as well as all his other writings and the entire New Testament. Metaphorically, being regenerated is pictured as being cleansed by water (cf. “the washing of rebirth” in Titus  3:5 ). The “Word” ( rhēmati ) refers to the “preached Word” that unbelievers hear (cf.  rhēma  in Eph. 6:17 ; Rom.  10:8 ,  17 ; 1 Peter  1:25 ).  More Hoehner, Harold W. “Ephesians.”  The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures .

When will You Comfort Me? Excerpt The psalmist sought deliverance from his sins, his foes, and his fears. Hope deferred made him faint; his eyes failed by looking out for this expected salvation. But when the eyes fail, yet faith must not. His affliction was great. He was become like a leathern bottle, which, if hung up in the smoke, is dried and shrivelled up. We must ever be mindful of God’s statutes. The days of the believer’s mourning shall be ended; they are but for a moment, compared with eternal happiness. His enemies used craft as well as power for his ruin, in contempt of the law of God. The commandments of God are true and faithful guides in the path of peace and safety. We may best expect help from God when, like our Master, we do well and suffer for it. Wicked men may almost consume the believer upon earth, but he would sooner forsake all than forsake the word of the Lord. We should depend upon the grace of God for strength to do every good work.
