Hebrews
Chapter 3
:1 Therefore holy brethren (1 Peter 1:13-16, [13] says “Brace
your minds for action…” TLV), partakers of the Heavenly Calling (Hebrews
11:13-16, 2 Peter 1:10), consider the Apostle (Emissary) and High Priest of our
confession, CHRIST JESUS (Hebrews 2:17),
:2 Who was Faithful to Him (GOD) Who appointed Him (1 Peter
1:17-21), as Moses also was faithful in all his house (Numbers 12:6-8).
:3 For this One (JESUS) has been counted Worthy of more Glory
that Moses, in as much as He Who built the house has more honor than the house
(John 14:1-3) (GOD gave life to Moses and called him to lead Israel out of
bondage, but JESUS is Life (John 1:1-4, 1 John 5:11-12) and The redeemer of the
world (John 3:16)).
:4 For every house is built by someone, but He Who built all
things is GOD (Genesis 1, Revelation 4:11).
:5 And Moses indeed was faithful in all His House as a
servant (Exodus 14:30-31), for a testimony of those things which would be
spoken afterward (1 Corinthians 10:1-14),
:6 but CHRIST as a Son (Matthew 3:16-17) over His Own House
(John 2:13-17, 14:1-3), Whose House we are (1 Corinthians 3:16-17, 1 Timothy
3:15, 1 Peter 2 :4-8) if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of The
Hope firm to the end (Matthew 10:22; “to the one who overcomes…” Revelation 2
& 3).
:7-11 Therefore, as The Holy SPIRIT says (Acts 1:16, 13:1-3):
“Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in
the day of trial in the wilderness, where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, and
saw My Works forty years. Therefore I was angry with that generation, and said,
‘they always go astray in their heart, and they have not known My Ways, So I
swore in My Wrath, “They shall not enter My Rest (Psalm 95:7-11).”’”
:12 Beware, brethren, least there be in any of you an evil
heart of unbelief in departing from the living GOD (Romans 12:21, 2 Timothy 2:9-10,
3 John :9-11);
:13 but exhort (encourage) one another daily, while it is
called “Today,” (2 Corinthians 6:2) lest any of you be hardened through the
deceitfulness of sin (James 1:14-16 LSD).
:14 For we have become partakers of CHRIST (John 15:1-17) if
we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end (Mark 13:13),
:15 while it is said: “Today if you will hear His voice, do
not harden your hearts as in the rebellion (Psalm 95:7-8).”
:16 For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all
who came out of Egypt, led by Moses (Numbers 14:2, 11, 30, Deuteronomy 1:35-38)?
:17 Now with whom was He angry forty years (Deuteronomy
1:34-38)? Was it not those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness?
:18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter into
His rest, but to those who did not obey (Numbers 14:26-30)?
:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of
unbelief (Psalm 78, 1 Corinthians 10:11-12 [10:1-15]).
