In Heb 12:18-29, Paul exhorts the Hebrews to “refuse not him that speaketh”. He contrasts the manner in which God spoke to the Jews from Mt Sinai when he gave them the old covenant with the way Jesus speaks to them before fulfilling the new covenant. The point is that...
This is Part 4 in a 4 part introduction to Paul’s Epistle to the Hebrews. We have been studying an overview of Paul’s epistle to the Hebrews, noting that Paul definitely authored this epistle specifically to address Jews in the Tribulation.

These are prophecies that foretell the regathering of Israel, the restoration of the desert, the rebirth of the nation, and so forth. All of these prophecies, that...
We began a study last week on some commonly misunderstood prophecies concerning Israel. Many believe that the prophecies we studied last week and the ones we are studying this week have already been fulfilled. They haven’t been fulfilled, as you will be able to discern when you read the contexts...
