EZEKIEL 44-45:
In
the vision of the ideal temple yesterday, we heard of the buildings
of rooms for the priests and offerings, the altar, the glory of God
coming to this temple, and the reason for this vision.
ISAIAH 19:
Yesterday in Isaiah we heard the prophecy about
the defeat of the Ethiopians, and at the end of that message, there
was a note of hope for that nation.
HEBREWS 13:
Yesterday (and even the day before) we returned
to the place of rest which was the theme of chapters 3-4. Did you
notice?! Compare the last verse of chapter 4 with the place where
we ‘have come’ to in 12:22-24.
GNT Translation
notes:
Heb.
13:1 Keep on loving one another as [brothers and sisters in the
Lord//Christians].
7
Remember your former leaders, who spoke God's message to you. Think
back on how they lived and died, and imitate [the way they lived
out their beliefs//their faith].
8
[Christ Jesus//Jesus Christ] is the same yesterday, today, and
forever.
[The correct order is ‘title’ then
‘name’ in English. We always say words like ‘president’, ‘senator’,
and ‘doctor’ before a person’s name in that role. Greek can do the
order either way. This is important because there are people in the
world that think that ‘Christ’ is Jesus’ last name. The order is
reversed in v.21 also.]
9 Do
not let all kinds of strange teachings lead you from the right way.
It is good to receive inner strength from [appreciating God’s
gracious kindness//God's grace], and not by obeying rules about
foods; those who obey these rules have not been helped by
them.
