Hebrews
Chapter
4 {Note: Dokeo is the thinking of the emotional revolt of the soul - subjectivity not objective. If you do not continue the intake of objective bible teaching, then you fall into subjectivity and self-pity and go into reversionism.}
{Note:
Chapter of 4 Hortatory (to exhort) Subjunctives (a verb form - a
possibility stated with emotion!) - {Note: Katapausis - does mean the 'act of resting' from the human viewpoint - in time. See verse 9 for a different Greek word for 'rest'.}
{Secondary
Negative Volition - 'Hearers but not Doers'}
2b~~But
the word of hearing {Note: See also James 1:19. Primary negative volition is the refusal to sit and listen to the word. In this verse is 'secondary negative volition'. Here the person sits and listens to the teaching and 'hears the word', but they reject the doctrine taught and do not transfer it to the human spirit where it can be used/applied to experience.}
3~~Now
you see, {Note: 'The foundation of the world' is an idiom meaning 'in eternity past'. In eternity past, all your potential SuperGrace blessings were set aside by God for YOU}." {Note: God is disgusted with believers in reversionism because He set aside the capability for all possible blessings for all believers in eternity past. These blessing are potential . . . and are available for you in time and in eternity future. All you have to do is have FAITH! The object of which is first Christ . . . then in Doctrine! Grow to SuperGrace! Take and HOLD the high ground of SuperGrace maturity. And, along the way and forever . . . reap what God has sown!} 4~~For he {Moses} had communicated in the past with results that continue forever somewhere concerning the seventh {day} in the following manner {Genesis 2:2}, "And on the seventh {seventh day - Saturday}, the God did cease to work according to His own perfect standard {katapauo} from the ultimate source of all His works." {Note: Katapauo. Kata means 'from a norm or standard'. Pauo means to cease or desist from all work (with kata - according to the standard of His own perfect standard). Here it is from the standard of God's own essence He rested. God is still resting today. From His Omniscience, He knew all your needs in eternity past . . . and provided for those needs in eternity past.} {Note: In the Jewish dispensation, they used symbols and rituals to demonstrate the doctrines of God. The Sabbath was a tool for Jews to remember the Grace of God. By their not working, they could be taught that only the work of God is important - they rest! Now, in this dispensation, Christians no longer need rituals and symbols. We have the Word of God - the completed and perfect Canon of Scripture. Our new commandment is to 'live EVERY day . . . as unto the Lord'. Take in doctrine every day. The need for rituals and symbols has diminished. The Eucharist is the only ritual we were specifically commanded to continue to follow in the Church Age. All other rituals are no longer authorized for the Church Age.} 5~~And in this place again {Psalms 95:11}, " 'My Name is not God'/'I am not God', if they shall enter into My rest {Canaan/SuperGrace}."
{Note:
The repetition of this quote indicates the importance the writer of
Hebrews places on this solemn oath by God. God is
{The
Potentialities of SuperGrace - Verses 6-9}
7~~Again, {Note: You can be negative in two ways. First, negative volition to the hearing of doctrine. Second, or the negative to the doctrine being taught.}
8~~For
if Joshua had caused them rest - but he did not - {Note: This is Joshua here NOT Jesus which is the Greek translation of Joshua. This refers to the generation AFTER the Exodus Generation. The Exodus Generation failed and could not enter the 'rest'/Canaan/SuperGrace. The next generation called the Joshua Generation entered the land but did not conquer it all as they were supposed to (about 1400-1375 B.C.). They also failed. And, for 400 years until David's Generation (1000-970 B.C., Canaan was not the Jews land . . . though God had promised it to them.}
{Conclusion
-God is waiting to pour if YOU have a 'cup' - Capacity for
SuperGrace blessings} {Note: RBT brought out that the usual Greek word for 'rest' being used in this chapter was 'katapausis'. But when referring to 'rest' here, the word 'sabbatismos' was used so we translated 'rest' this time 'sabbatical rest'. This is the potential rest/SuperGrace blessings God provided for us BEFORE time - and we can only earn them through FAITH . . . first in Christ, thereafter FAITH in studying His Word and growing in spiritual maturity by grace.}
{Principal
of SuperGrace - Verses 10-12} {Note: Katapausis is the act of resting. You did not earn or deserve anything, God provides all from His grace.} {Note: Before SuperGrace, you reap what you sow - from your own 'works'. In SuperGrace, you reap what God sows! His 'works' . . . divine good production.}
11~~
Let us begin to be diligent {right mental attitude toward the intake
of doctrine - ingressive aorist} {Note: The ingressive aorist means to diligently take the Word in and in again and in again. The cumulative aorist indicates a result of being diligent in the intake of the Word - occupation with Christ, SuperGrace capacity (a cup), and God will pour to you SuperGrace Blessings. Now you reap what God sows.}
{Solution
to the Problem of Obstinacy} {Note: 'Energes' . . . which is transliterated 'energetic' . . . also means to be effective. Here it is saying the Word of God is effective in accomplishing its objective - to teach us divine viewpoint from earthly/fleshly viewpoint.}
{Note:
A machaira was a very short two-edged Roman sword. Many large
barbarians laughed as they saw the shorter Romans with short swords
against their huge size and big broad swords. Then the Romans working
together efficiently sliced up the larger barbarians! The machaira
was the most effective cutting weapon in the ancient world - in the
hands of a well-trained soldier. The Bible cuts ALL of
{Note:
RBT's original is used so often and is so beautiful: {Why is Bible doctrine so important? God Vindicates his Word in the Believers Soul}
13~~And
there is not a created thing
{SuperGrace
related to the Priesthood - Verses 14-16} {Note: This is setting up the fact that Jesus is now our high priest and is seated in heaven today representing us before God the Father. We are to now acknowledge this fact . . . (and coming up . . . the fact that believers are all priests in the Church Age.}
{The
Compassion of our Great High Priest - Jesus Christ} {Note: In the areas of temptation, Jesus never succumbed to sin. So even though He had all the temptations we had, the one thing Jesus can NOT say is 'I know what it is like to sin!' - He never did sin.}
{A
Conclusion about the SuperGrace life - Knowledge of Prayer and
Proper Use of the Same} {Note: Once you are in SuperGrace, prayer becomes a fantastic weapon for you. Until this time, Jesus Christ makes intercessory prayer on your behalf. Now you know HOW to pray effectively and have the right mental attitude to come to the Lord humbly (understanding Grace).} ************************************************** Joshua_Sozo and Syndein are the Trademarks of Syndein a California DBA of Kenneth Sidley & Associates, Inc., a California Corporation.
