Continued from Hebrews It! (Legal Study, Chapter 3) Pt. 13a
We are going to hit this chapter with multiple OP's until it's meaning is so painfully clear that it is seared into our Souls! OP Pt. 13a complete. Chapter 3 is going to get some serious exegetical Love!Types of Exegesis and study that will be applied to Chapter 3
1- Historical Scripture References from OT passages that are referenced
2- Cross Reference Exegesis
3- Repetitive Verse Inference Grouping
4- Contrast Diagramming
We diagrammed Hebrews Chapter 3 only to find that it reads in a very direct verse to verse way
3:1 Therefore, holy brothers and companions in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession; 2 He was faithful to the One who appointed Him, just as Moses was in all God’s household.
3:1,2 Draws a parallel to an OT verse.
Numbers 12:7 Not so with My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My household.
Where as Numbers 12:7 reads as it does, Hebrews 3:1,2 reads with the SEVERE warnings to not TURN AWAY from Jesus as foundationally laid by Chapters 1 and 2. Whether a person likes it or not this entire chapter is taking the Stone Covenant of Moses and contrasting it against Following Jesus! All of Chapter 1 lays the foundation to follow Jesus. All of Chapter 2 evokes warnings against turning back to the Stone Law that was a mere shadow used to defeat the work of Satan and Prophesy the Coming of Jesus.
3:1 and 2 imply "Not so with My servant Jesus, He is faithful in all My household"
Whatever story that Number's 12 tells, is now being transferred in meaning directly to Jesus.
Numbers 12:1 Miriam and Aaron criticized Moses because of the Cushite woman he married (for he had married a Cushite woman). 2 They said, “Does the Lord speak only through Moses? Does He not also speak through us?” And the Lord heard it. 3 Moses was a very humble man, more so than any man on the face of the earth.
Miriam and Aaron judge Moses' Marriage and question Moses' leadership. This verse exalts Moses' as the most Humble man on the face of the earth. Jesus took that CROWN. (Matthew 27:27,28,29)
4 Suddenly the Lord said to Moses, Aaron, and Miriam, “You three come out to the tent of meeting.” So the three of them went out. 5 Then the Lord descended in a pillar of cloud, stood at the entrance to the tent, and summoned Aaron and Miriam. When the two of them came forward, 6 He said:
The Shakina Glory (Pre-Incarnate Jesus) summoned Moses and his accusers to "His Dwelling Place" (Tabernacle). God "stood" at the entrance of "His Dwelling Place".
“Listen to what I say: If there is a prophet among you from the Lord, I make Myself known to him in a vision;
I speak with him in a dream.
God only shows His Humanoid form to everyone in visions.
7 Not so with My servant Moses; he is faithful in all My household. 8 I speak with him directly, openly, and not in riddles; he sees the form of the Lord.
With only Humble Moses, God speaks face to face with him, plainly! This is Pre-incarnate Jesus expressing that He only reveals plain words, void of parables to the HUMBLE.
So why were you not afraid to speak against My servant Moses?” 9 The Lord’s anger burned against them, and He left.
God was Angry at the challenge of Moses' leadership!
10 As the cloud moved away from the tent, Miriam’s skin suddenly became diseased, as white as snow. When Aaron turned toward her, he saw that she was diseased 11 and said to Moses, “My lord, please don’t hold against us this sin we have so foolishly committed. 12 Please don’t let her be like a dead baby whose flesh is half eaten away when he comes out of his mother’s womb.”
God struck Miriam with leprosy for rebelling against Moses in speech.
13 Then Moses cried out to the Lord, “God, please heal her!”
Moses begs the Great Physician to heal Miriam. (Moses CANNOT Heal or Save)
14 The Lord answered Moses, “If her father had merely spit in her face, wouldn’t she remain in disgrace for seven days? Let her be confined outside the camp for seven days; after that she may be brought back in.”
Under the LAW, God is cursing Miriam and holding her to being "unclean" with Leprosy for 7 days.
15 So Miriam was confined outside the camp for seven days, and the people did not move on until Miriam was brought back in. 16 After that, the people set out from Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.
Miriam had to wait "Outside the Camp" for 7 days, until Pre-Incarnate Jesus HEALED her!
Now, back to our opening statement: Whatever story that Number's 12 tells, is now being transferred in meaning directly to Jesus.
Verses 3:1-2 are literally warning us against trading our faith and dependence on Jesus for ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING else and especially in light of this specific contrast, Moses and the Stone Covenant.
Hebrews 3:3 For Jesus is considered worthy of more glory than Moses, just as the builder has more honor than the house. 4 Now every house is built by someone, but the One who built everything is God.Immediately following the imperative contrast of being CURSED for turning away from Jesus and to Moses, AGAIN, Jesus (The most Humble of all that are Humble) is Exalted FAR above Moses and then attributed as the BUILDER of EVERYTHING!
Hebrews 1:2 but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed the Heir of all things, through Whom also He created the world.
Hebrews 3:5 Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s household, as a testimony to what would be said in the future. 6 But Christ was faithful as a Son over His household. And we are that household if we hold on to the courage and the confidence of our hope.Moses only foreshadowed what was to come! Jesus is WHO Moses was the Shadow of! It's this simple! Cast Moses aside, now! Hold on to Jesus Christ as our Confidence and HOPE!
Hebrews 3:7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: Today, if you hear His voice,This is not a joke! This verse is THE HIGHEST LEVEL PAY attention kind of verse!
Isaiah 63:8 He said, “Surely they are my people, children who will be true to me”; and so He became their Savior.
9 In all their distress He too was distressed, and the Messenger of His Presence saved them.
In His love and mercy He redeemed them; He lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
10 Yet they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit.
So He turned and became their enemy and He himself fought against them.
8 do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, on the day of testing in the wilderness,Proverbs 28:14 Blessed is the one who fears the Lord always, but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity.
Matthew 13:15 For this people's heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, (Repent from Moses to Jesus) and I would heal them.’
Romans 2:5,6 But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed. He will render to each one according to his works:
Impenitent Heart! This is a person that refuses to acknowledge that they SIN according to the Stone Law! This is the person that thinks they can OBEY better than others and actually have a shot at salvation by being OBEDIENT! This person is a Hypocrite! They MUST relinquish their trust in themselves! We are either SAVED by JESUS CHRIST's Perfect work, or condemned by the Mountain of failures that we amass day to day, minute by minute! If a person actually believes themselves to be without sin for 2 seconds, they are Deceiving themselves and the Holy Spirit cannot be within them! (1 John 1:8) It's either Jesus or Self! There is no middle ground! All we can do is REPENT (Change our mind from self to Jesus). There is no MOSTLY JESUS (Partial Law of Stone Obedience) option! It's ALL Jesus or ALL 613 Mitzvah's! NO INBETWEEN!
Acts 19:9 But when some became stubborn and continued in unbelief, speaking evil of the Way before the congregation, he withdrew from them and took the disciples with him, reasoning daily in the hall of Tyrannus.
The NEW Covenant is THE WAY (Jesus)! This forgiveness of a LIFE DEBT of Sin according to the Stone Law is a call to Love and Forgive as we have been Loved and Forgiven! Unbelief in Jesus Total work is the SIN of the NEW Covenant! Go and Sin (UNBELIEVE) NO MORE! God didn't die for humanity to GIVE THEM THE POWER To OBEY the Stone Covenant! Death (Satan) is the Accuser that KILLS, STEALS and DESTROYS through the use of the Stone Covenant! There are so many Religions in this world that all have Obedience patterns required to get to God! There is only ONE Belief System where God literally DIED to BE with US!
9 where your fathers tested Me, tried Me, and saw My works 10 for 40 years.Therefore I was provoked with that generation and said, “They always go astray in their hearts, and they have not known My ways.”
Luke 7:22 And he answered them, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them.
This is the Gospel in 5 verses!
Luke 18:9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable:
10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’
13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
Get the Stone out of our hearts, Please Lord! Give us Hearts of Flesh, Please Lord! Please, Dearest Jesus, Have Mercy on us Sinners! We need you every second of every Day! WE Turn to YOU and YOU Alone! Only You are GOOD! Only YOU are Worthy! Only You are Perfect, Loving and Merciful! Please Purify our Hearts for You, Lord! Let us strive to be HUMBLE, Contrite, Penitent! Dearest Jesus, Please allow us to see our need for you daily and hold no stone charge unto ourselves or any person of this earth, Made in your very Image! Allow us to have opened eyes to see that this very Universe is our Tabernacle made by YOUR HANDS!
11 So I swore in My anger, “They will not enter My rest.”Isaiah 48:22 “The Lord God said, peace is not to wicked men.”
There is NO REST FOR THE WICKED and Brother's and Sister's, if not for the perpetual Grace of Jesus Christ, we ARE WICKED! It is HIS Righteousness, Alone, that can save us! We SIN! We are SINNERS! We don't cease to Sin until we DIE! We must KNEEL on the BLADE of Repentance every Second of Every Day! We must ALWAYS know we NEED HIM! The Stone Law is only to reveal our NEED FOR HIM! Do you not know that there is an entire world out there that is HUNGRY to hear these very words! Spiritual Starvation is far worse than physical starvation! IN and out of Brick and Mortar buildings, people are STARVING to hear the ONE TRUE GOSPEL! We provide the Repentance of our inability to please Him and HE DOES ALL THE REST! He was born in a smelly Barn! He will Tabernacle inside of ANYONE who REPENTS! The sooner we can ALL agree on the ONE TRUE GOSPEL, the sooner we can physically minister to the needs of this world held by the captivity of Pride, Greed, Malice, Poverty, Pain, Sorrow, Regret etc etc!
OP 13b complete. OP 13c to come, soon!
