pondering Hebrews 12:1-3


Pondering Hebrews 12:1-3

  1. Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 fixing our eyes on Yeshua, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
The witnesses
Herod the Great built various theatres and amphitheatres throughout the land of Israel for entertainment, performances, and sports (Josephus Antiquities 15.8.1). In some of them Olympic styled games were held every five years, in honour of Caesar. In these arenas the spectators sat in rows of seats ascending from a central stage (refer the image above). The author of Hebrews now borrows the imagery of spectators and runners in a race.

The author sees us being in a race and surrounding us are the spectators, “a great cloud of witnesses.” The witnesses are people who are watching the games in front of them; their eyes and ears tell them what is happening, and they are talking about what they have seen and heard.

The point of Hebrews is that these witnesses are not silent. “And by faith he (Abel) still speaks, even though he is dead” (11:4). All of the heroes of faith make up these witnesses and they still speak to us today, through the pages of Scripture. I do not think that they are in heaven to cheer us on, sitting on a balcony looking down. No, they are there as an example to us on how to live our life of faith. Neither do the saints in heaven make intercession for us, but their Biblical stories are given to us as an encouragement to keep running the race of faith.
The hindrance
“Let us lay aside every encumbrance…” What were they and what are we to lay aside? The Word encumbrance is the word ‘weight,’ so anything that weighs us down, anything and everything that will keep us from faithfully running the race.

What are the things that can so easily weigh us down? The apostle John mentions three things 1 John 2:16-17
“16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17 The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.”

There are two stories in the Bible where we see all three clearly. The first story is with Eve and Adam in Genesis 3:6
“6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food [lust of the flesh], and that it was a delight to the eyes [lust of the eyes], and that the tree was desirable to make one wise [the pride of life], she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate.”

The second story is with Yeshua in Matthew 4:3-10. Here Satan came and tempted Yeshua to change stones into bread [lust of the flesh], to use His power to command angels [the pride of life] and finally to seek power (kingdom) and glory [the lust of the eyes].

Friends, we are and will all be tempted, so we ought to remember the Saints who have gone before us. Their lives are a witness to us and this is why we ought to pray for one another (James 5:16).
The Sin which so easily entangles us
There is one specific sin that the author keeps addressing. This is the sin of apostasy; the sin of going back into Temple Judaism. Five times he has given a warning in Hebrews. Each one was a warning not to fall away from Yeshua, by going back to Temple (sacrificial) Judaism.
  1. Hebrews 2:1-4, Danger of neglecting salvation, by drifting away.
  2. Hebrews 3:7-4:13, Danger of wilful disobedience and so developing an evil heart of unbelief.
  3. Hebrews 5:11-6:20 Danger of failing to mature and remaining babes in Messiah and missing out on the spiritual blessings promised.
  4. Hebrews 10:26-31 Danger of wilful sinning and going back to Temple (sacrificial) Judaism.
  5. Hebrews 12:25-29 Danger of being indifferent to the better sacrifice that Yeshua bought.


The reason the author has been describing Yeshua in such great detail, and giving so much attention to the priesthood of Melchizedek, is in the hope that the Jewish believers would not drift away, but grow in maturity. Instead of remaining babes, he wants us to mature in the knowledge of Yeshua, who is “the greater than.”

Yeshua, the author and perfecter of faith
Fixing, not just glancing. We are encouraged to keep our eyes locked on Yeshua. Who started the faith in us and leads us as our captain. Having started the faith in us, He then goes on to perfect our faith. The word means completer, in that by His single sacrifice on the Cross, He completed what was lacking in us. But His ministry, for and to us, does not stop there. Just as the Holy Spirit intercedes for us (Romans 8:26-27), Yeshua is also making intercession for us (Hebrews 7:25), so that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it (Philippians 1:6). Praise God.

Yeshua who endured the cross, despising the shame
Nobody would have regarded the cross as a joy, For the Joy set before Him… How could He see joy in such great suffering? He could by looking at the eternal perspective. Because He was the willing guilt offering (Isaiah 53:10-11), “the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many.” By His actions He brought many sons and daughters unto glory (Hebrews 2:10).

He did this by taking the form of a bond-servant and becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. (Philippians 2:7-8). As such He endured the shame and humiliation. What seems like foolishness to us, enabled our salvation (1 Corinthians 1:18). As such we must speak about Messiah crucified, a stumbling block (Isaiah 28:16, 8:14, 1 Peter 2:8) to Jews and folly to Gentiles (1 Corinthians 1:23).

But because He was the willing sacrifice, obedient to the Father, He now has been exalted to the right hand of the throne of God. As such we need to ponder Yeshua, who has endured hostility from me and you, yet was willing to endure such shame to bring us to into His kingdom and give us His righteousness. In light of what He has done, let us not grow weary or lose heart.


Shalom in Messiah

podering hebrews 12:16-17



 

 












Pondering Hebrews 12:16-17

In Hebrews 11 we met all the heroes of the faith. In chapter 12 verses 16-17 we meet the anti-hero of the faith, in the person of Esau.
  1. That there be no immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal. 17 For you know that even afterwards, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought for it with tears.

Who is Esau?

Esau עֵשָׂ֗ו (Hebrew meaning ‘hairy’) was the firstborn son of Isaac and Rebekah. Rebekah who had been barren for many years became pregnant with twins and from their time together in the womb they have been in conflict with each other. Even their descendants remained in conflict with each other (Obadiah 1). Even before Esau was born a prophecy was made that the elder (Esau) would serve the younger (Jacob).

Esau grew up as a skilled hunter like Nimrod (Genesis 10:8-9). There is a negative description of Nimrod in Jewish tradition (Targum Jonathan) “began to be mighty in sin, and to rebel before the Lord in the earth.” Jacob, in contrast, stayed home to look after the family (Genesis 25:27). This is a summary statement of the life of Esau and Jacob before Jacob fled to Laban.

One day Esau returned from hunting and he was very hungry. As the firstborn, he could have gone to any tent and ask for food. But he happened to go to Jacob, who asked for the Birthright as the firstborn in exchange for a bowl of lentils. Esau despised the birthright, along with all the privileges and covenantal blessing (Genesis 25:29-34) and sold the birthright to Jacob.

Basic Time Line

* We do not know when Jacob bought the birthright from Esau. Personally, I suspect it was after Esau married the foreign wives, but it could have been before that.
  1.  At the age of forty Esau took two wives from the local Hittite people, Basemath and Judith, and they were a source of grief to his parents (Genesis 26:34-35).
  2. When Isaac was getting old he became near blind, and despite the prophecy about the sons (Genesis 25:23) and the sale of the birthright, he asked Esau, his favourite son, to prepare a meal, after which he would bestow the Covenantal blessing. Overhearing this promise Rebekah persuaded Jacob to deceive Isaac, and obtain the blessing. Isaac bestowed the blessing on Jacob, which included the land and it meant that Jacob would be the head of the family. While Esau had not cared for it, he now realised his mistake and asked for a blessing (Genesis 27:34).
  3. He also married Mahalath, a daughter of his uncle Ishmael (Genesis 28:9), perhaps as an appeasement to his parents who hated his Hittite wives.
(Jacob flees to his uncle Laban (Genesis 28:1-5) and stays there for 14 years.)
  1. It is during that time that Esau extends the family again by marrying Adah (Hittite) and Oholibamah (Hivite) and finally he marries Basemath (Ishmaelite) (Genesis 36:2-6).
  1. Esau and the family move to Seir, south-east of the Dead Sea in modern Jordan and moved outside the Promised Land, recognising Jacob’s right to the land.

Wives of Esau

Esau, in sharp contrast to his father, had six wives. Some commentators try to make it three wives by claiming each had two names (Rashi), others claim four wives (Ibn Ezra & Rashbam), while others make it five (Nahmanides). Finally, some claimed he had six wives (R. Abraham Maimuni the son of Maimonides).[For more details on the rabbinical interpretation see Reuven Klein’s article “The Wives Of Esau in the Jewish Bible Quarterly Vol. 42, No. 4, 2014 (211-220).]

How many wives did Esau take? They are mentioned in Genesis 26, 28 and 36.
  1. Basemath a daughter of Elon the Hittite Genesis 26:34.
  2. Judith a daughter of Beeri the Hittite Genesis 26:34.
  3. Mahalath a daughter of Ishmael Genesis 28:8-9.
  4. Adah a daughter of Elon the Hittite, Genesis 36:2-6.
  5. Oholibamah a daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite Genesis 36:2-6.
  6. Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, the sister of Nebaioth Genesis 36:2-6. 

A plain reading indicates six wives, including two sisters. The point of the genealogy of Genesis 36 is not to indicate new names, but to indicate that through these additional wives Esau established the nation of Edom.

Immoral

Note that Hebrews 12:16 describes Esau as immoral. The literal meaning is fornicator; it would indicate that besides the six wives Esau was in the habit of having sex with others. Again note the contrast, Esau’s father Isaac only had one wife, his mother Rebekah. Esau had six wives and still, that was not enough.

Repentance versus Regret

Esau realized that he had not only sold the birthright but also the blessing that went along with it. Now he sought to get the “blessing” back with tears, but these were not tears of repentance. There is no biblical verse that indicates that Esau repented of his godless attitude or of his disregard for the birthright. Therefore this is not true repentance, but remorse for the loss of what might have been a physical blessing to him. As such, even with tears, he was saying that he wanted the inheritance, but he was not willing to acknowledge the wrong he had done.

It might be better to say Esau regretted the decision to sell the birthright but not to the point of repentance. Warren Wiersbe in his Bible Commentary Vol 1 on Genesis 27-28 (page 102) writes this: “Esau’s tears were not tears of repentance for being an ungodly man; they were tears of regret because he had lost the covenant blessing. Esau wanted the blessing but he didn’t want to be the kind of man whom God could bless!”

Friends may we seek God and be like the Heroes of the Faith, and strive to be the people that God wants to bless.
Shalom in Messiah

Basic Principles from the TANACH (O.T)


even basic principles from the TANACH the Jewish Bible:
God alone is the source of a satisfying and worthwhile life. You will make known to me the path of life: in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures for evermore” Psalm 16:11
There is a barrier between God and us: sin. “But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your GOD, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear” Isaiah 59:2
Our good deeds won’t remove the barrier. “And we are all as one that is unclean, and our righteousness (good deeds) as filthy rags” Isaiah 64:6
God has provided atonement as a way of removing the barrier. “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul”. Leviticus 17:11
God promised to send the Messiah for blood atonement. “He was pierced for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities… We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all”. Isaiah 53:5&6
At least 48 specific prophecies further identify this Messianic figure, all of which have been fulfilled in Yeshua (Jesus) of Nazareth. Here are some of them…
  1. He would be a descendent of King David (Jeremiah 23:5,6)
  2. The city of His birth would be Bethlehem (Micah 5:1,2)
  3. He would have a divine nature (Isaiah 9:5,6)
  4. He would come before the destruction of Herod’s temple in 70 C.E. (Daniel 9:26)
  5. He would be executed by crucifixion (Psalm 22:14-17)
  6. He would rise from the dead (Isaiah 53:10)
  7. He would return with the evidence of having been mortally wounded (Zechariah 12:10)
God has provided perfect atonement (forgiveness of sins) through the sacrifice of the Messiah, Yeshua. All who place their trust in Him have restored fellowship with God and assurance of eternal life.

Hebrew3:1-6

Pondering Hebrews 3:1-6
  1. Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Yeshua, the Apostle and High Priest of our confession2 He was faithful to Him who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house. 3 For He has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the builder of the house has more honour than the house. 4 For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. 5 Now Moses was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those things which were to be spoken later; 6 but Messiah was faithful as a Son over His house—whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.” 
Within the first two chapters of Hebrews, we noted that Yeshua is greater than the angels. This was significant as angels; God’s supernatural envoys are ‘mere’ messengers from God who had started to be worshipped again by some, while explicitly forbidden (Deuteronomy 4:19). This was not without precedent for two of Israel’s kings Ahab and Manasseh had worshipped the ‘Host of Heaven’, which are these angels (2 Kings 17:16, 21:3). The holy angels continue to worship the Lord (Nehemiah 9:6), but fallen angels wanted to be worship and some had started to do this (Colossians 2:18). It is interesting to me, that angels are very popular, in television programs and movies. There is an explosion of interest in angelic beings both good and bad (Matthew 24:37; 1 Peter 3:20). Yeshua, in contrast, has a better Name and all creation including the angels are to be in subject to Him, for He is crowned with glory and honour (Hebrews 2:7) and the good angels will worship Him (Hebrews 1:6).

Now in chapter 3 the author of Hebrews instructs us by comparing Moses and Yeshua. Moses has been regarded as the most significant Biblical Jewish prophet of all times. In chapter 3 of Hebrews we get to understand that Yeshua is even greater than Moses! It was Moses, who received the Torah (Exodus 34), it was Moses who spoke with God face to face (Exodus 33:11), it was Moses that led the people out of bondage (Exodus 33:1).  In all these things Moses was a servant in God’s house (Numbers 12:7-8), he was even called “Moses the man of God” (Deuteronomy 33:1). All of these high accolades are suddenly passed over when we are introduced to the Son, for God the Father spoke about Messiah and said: “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:16-17). This was repeated at His transfiguration (Mark 9:7), and at His resurrection, He was being exalted to sit at the right hand of God (Acts 2:33). Contrast the glory, Moses in (Exodus 34:29-35), where we read that when he spends time with the LORD has face become radiant, a glory which fades away (2 Corinthians3:13). Not so of the Son who had that glory in Him as part of His nature, (Isaiah 6:1-8), as such he veiled it with flesh (John 1:14), revealing His glory only a few times (Matthew 17:1-7) until He comes to set up His kingdom (Matthew 25:31). The writer of Hebrews can indeed say one greater than Moses is here.

The term apostle means send one, Yeshua is the ultimate send one from the Father; this is the only reference to Yeshua being called an apostle. Secondly, He is called a high priest; this is in the order of Melchizedek, for Yeshua is of the tribe of Judah, not Levi and so He could not have served in the Levitical order because the Torah prohibited this. We will discuss that at another time! As the God-Man, He is a high priest who serves in the heavenly tabernacle bringing in the Brit Chadashah (New Covenant).

This New Covenant announced in Jeremiah (Jeremiah 31:31-34), proclaimed at the last Passover (Matthew 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25; Luke 22:17-20 & 1 Corinthians 11:23-26), and gets inaugurated after the death of Messiah, when He applied His blood in the heavenly tabernacle (Hebrews 10:19). This New Covenant have an already and not yet fulfilment aspects. The fullness of the New Covenant indicates that all Israel will be in a right relationship with the Lord (Jeremiah 31:31-34), this has yet to happen. But each person Jew or Gentile who accepts the atonement of Yeshua through the New Covenant, can become a child of God (John 1:12); this new unity of Jew and Gentile was a mystery in the Tanach (Older Testament). It was revealed to the apostle Paul (Ephesians 2-3).

Friends, we are to be partakers of the heavenly calling: Since Yeshua is steadfast and able to bring many sons and daughters to glory (Hebrews 2:10). We are to be partners with Yeshua in His heavenly calling.

What does it mean to be partakers of the heavenly calling? This calling is for those in Messiah (Hebrews 3:14) and those who are in the Holy Spirit (Hebrews 6:4). We can be His ambassadors and He can make His appeal through us (2 Corinthians 5:20) and we partner with Him in the ministry of reconciliation.

Hope this illuminated your understanding
Blessings in Messiah Yeshua

Hebrew2:1-4

Weekly Letter

 

Pondering Hebrews 2:1-4


This letter was written to second-generation Messianic Jews who had not personally met or heard the LORD Yeshua (Hebrews 2:3). It was written because some had started to drift from the faith (Hebrews 2:1-4) back to 2nd Temple Judaism. Because of this danger, the author demonstrates that Yeshua and His ministry are better than….

The author in these verses employs a rabbinic method of teaching called קל וחומר “kal v’chomer,” meaning from “light to heavy.” This is Hillel’s first rule of interpretation. The purpose of this method was to show that if that was true, how much more is this true. If the revelation by angels was true, how much more the revelation of Yeshua, the Son of God. Both are true, but the former was light in comparison to this. By using this method the author brings us to the inescapable conclusion that Yeshua is better and brings a superior covenant. He does this by showing that Yeshua is:
  1. Better than the previous revelation (Hebrews 1:1-3)
  2. Better than the Angels (Hebrews 1:4-2:18)
  3. Yeshua is superior to Moses (Hebrews 3:1-4:13)
  4. Yeshua is superior to Aaron & the Levitical Priesthood (Hebrews 4:14-5:10; 7:11-28; 9:1-10)
  5. The Torah was but a shadow (Hebrews 7:12, 19, 28; 10:1)
  6. The New Covenant is better than the Mosaic Covenant (Hebrews 8:1-13)
  7. The blood of Messiah is better than the blood of goats and bulls (Hebrews 9:11-10:18).

In light of the fact that Yeshua is better than…, the author then urges them not to drift away from the Messiah. While all of the previous revelations, covenants and prophets were true, Messiah the Son of God brings in a superior Covenant. As such the author warns them of five dangers:
  1. The Danger of Drifting (Hebrews 2:1-4)
  2. The Danger of Disbelief (Hebrews 3:7-4:13)
  3. The Danger of Remaining Immature (Hebrews 5:11-6:20)
  4. The Danger of Willful Sin (Despising) (Hebrews 10:26-31)
  5. The Danger of Denying the better than… (Hebrews 12:15-29)

As you read Hebrews in a study bible you will note the frequency of the quotations, and without a firm understanding of the Tanach (Older Testament), you might feel a little lost. In Hebrews 2:5-9 the author, for example, quotes Psalm 8:4-6. Sometimes the quotation is verbatim; sometimes it looks like the quote comes from the Greek translation (Septuagint) and at other times he leans on the Aramaic translation (Targum).  The author of Hebrews quotes scripture in a variety of ways. He frequently uses the phrase “God says” (twenty-three times), “the Holy Spirit says” (3:7; 10:15, 17; see also 9:8) and “Messiah says” (10:5). The author just assumes that we know where he quotes from. Hebrews 2:6: “Someone somewhere has testified. . . .” I do not believe that the author had forgotten where he was quoting from but that he wants us to search the scriptures and make ourselves familiar with the Tanach (Older Testament).

Speaking about Yeshua, the author of Hebrews says (Hebrews 2:5-9):

5 For He did not subject to angels the world to come, concerning which we are speaking. 6 But one has testified somewhere, saying,
“What is man, that You remember him? Or the Son of Man, that You are concerned about him? 7 “You have made him for a little while lower than the angels; You have crowned him with glory and honour, And have appointed him over the works of Your hands; 8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet.”
For in subjecting all things to him, He left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we do not yet see all things subjected to him. 9 But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Yeshua, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honour, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.


Yeshua, who was identified as the Son, heir and creator (Hebrews 1:1-2) is contrasted to the holy angels, who are ministering spirits. In His humanity, He was lower than angels, but they will submit to the Son in the age to come (Revelation 19:11-16).

 “Yeshua, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honour, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.” Yeshua was not just lower than the angels; He also suffered and experienced death. Yeshua enabled the redemption of the world through His suffering and death.

It is at this point that the author makes a startling statement in Hebrews 2:10
For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings.”

How was it fitting for God to allow His Son to suffer? God had asked Abraham to sacrifice his one and only son Isaac (Genesis 22), and the words of David speak to us in 2 Samuel 24:24 “for I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God which cost me nothing.” In that light, it was fitting for God to offer His One and Only Son, Yeshua (Psalm 22; Isaiah 53). He came into the world to save it, John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

The last phrase in Hebrews 2:10 is translated variously
  1. (NASB) to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings.
  2. (ESV) should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering.
  3. (KJV) to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.
The Greek word archēgos (ar-khe-os) means chief leader. Messiah is described as “the author of our salvation,” in that with His blood He wrote the contract, the New Covenant; and He is the captain (prince), for we His sons and daughters are under His direction, and He is the founder/originator of our salvation as we did not earn it but He paid the price.

He was made “perfect through sufferings”; He suffered all of the consequences of the legal requirements that are in the Torah, the Law which I (we) have broken. To satisfy the justice of God He became perfectly acquainted with suffering. It was even pleasing to the LORD to bruise Him (Isaiah 53:10) for the purpose of bringing you and me into His glory.

Hope this illuminated your understanding
Blessings in Messiah Yeshua
