To The  Hebrews  Chapter 12
Picks up the pace of the race to a "run" unto "perfection"
The Epistle of Paul The Apostle To The Hebrews

His angel plays the last trump it

Paul:  To The Hebrews  Chp 12:
Wherefore "seeing" (of  blind  and  seeing):
  - seeing God both spake and spoke to them and us
   - seeing escape is via "give more earnest heed"
   - seeing the provocation of law worketh wrath
   - seeing mercy only is obtainable at throne of grace
   - seeing the milky way is only for unweaned babes
   - seeing adulthood requires "go on to perfection"
   - seeing law causes dis-ease, and eventually death
   - seeing law is the faulty part of imperfect/perfect
   - seeing law must be dead testator to establish grace
   - seeing God was/is never pleased with any sacrifice
   - seeing law folk all died & received not the promise
And seeing that we are also being watched;
Let us run the race that is set before us

To The Hebrews Chapter 12

General Theme of Hebrews Chp 12:

Wherefore "seeing", seeing we also are "compassed about", let us "run" of waste vs haste, run the human race that is set before us; run with patience of impatience vs patience, run to Mt Sion of Mt Sinai vs Mt Sion, run on to the better of two last days, run unto the perfection of "Grace with you all. Amen", and the clarity of "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen", and run to be the first finished of twain so "none perish" instead of "all perish". For the evidence provided us reveals "by the using of ordinances all perish".

Hebrews 12:1 "
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset [us], and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,"

Wherefore "seeing", seeing we also are "compassed about", and a biblical review of "compassed" about in Psalms and Hebrews reveals compassing about is as being surrounded by innumerable evils(laws) which cause heart failure, and when compassed about by so many false witnesses blowin their warring trumpet, shouting their law worketh wrath, on the seventh of seven days, well, the result tends to get disaster us... And seeing we all are one won't likely make it to none perish instead of all perish carrying the burden-some weight of law imputed sin and death, witch "doth so easily beset" since law is not only the source of dis-ease, but both the source and strength (strong man) of (death sting-ing) sin... So, seeing it is our own law, legalism, which is "against us", hind-ering us, let us lay our weighty law aside to win the human race, which is notably one by one, the first finished of two "finished"s in "verily verily" John where "Jesus" notably played two parts and hence two resurrections are mentioned in John 5.

And since Hebrews is as a mini bible itself, Hebrews chapter 12 is the place where we pick up the pace of the race, from a grace walk to a grace run, which is a run, but with patience knowing the end is already written, but getting there alive requires let law be the dead testator.

Wherefore seeing none perish by grace, but all perish by the using of ordinances (laws)...

- let us lay aside every weight(law), thereby all law-imputed sin which doth easily beset and
- let us "run"
("run" not walk, "make haste" not waste, "hasting" unto the day[light] of God:
"Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the [divided] heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements[laws thereof] shall melt with fervent heat");

Yet run the race with patience (
enduring continuining patience, not impatience), the human race (won by one first finished of two teams running <=bwd|fwd=> to two ends: <=law|grace=>), run the race that is set (seated, not  standing; and seated right, not left) before us (while ye were yet sinners God set you with and in Christ); By that God (of this/that Gods) was in Christ (of Jesus=>Christ) reconciling the world unto himself, not law-imputing their trespasses unto them. Perhaps if we law-impute trespasses to them, then their trespasses are imputed to us, us of them/us who by now of then/now, should know better of good/better, know better than to add "law worketh wrath" to "my grace is sufficient for thee"; For we all should know by now, especially the third day of the age of grace, that "grace is sufficient" meaneth no law is req'd.

Hebrews 12:2 "
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of faith (the law is not of faith, so of grace), is notably only the author of eternal salvation and eternal life thereof grace. For JC came with both grace and truth, and it's knowing the truth that makes you of ye/you, free of bond/free. For God our Saviour will notably have two things: all men saved(delievered) and all men aware what they're saved(delivered) from: law: sin and death. We are delivered from the law!

Enduring the cross does not mean get hung up on it and stay there, especially if cursed every one that hangeth on a tree; But rather enduring the shame thereof such (king of jews) law. And being set down doesn't denote standing and fight a battle already won; But rather that the matter of good or evil (grace or law) is settled by leaving law hung on the cross as the curse and going on through the cross to risen and seated. Furthermore risen and seated with "Christ".

The "throne of God"

Hebrews 12:3 "
For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds."

Hebrews 12:4 "Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin."

Hebrews 12:5 "
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:"

Hebrews 12:6 "
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth."

Hebrews 12:7 "
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?"

Hebrews 12:8 "
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons."

Hebrews 12:9 "
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected [us], and we gave [them] reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?"

Hebrews 12:10 "
For they verily for a few days chastened [us] after their own pleasure; but he for [our] profit, that [we] might be partakers of his holiness."

Hebrews 12:11 "
Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby."

Hebrews 12:12 "
Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;"

Hebrews 12:13 "
And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed."

Hebrews 12:14 "
Follow peace with all [men], and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:"

Hebrews 12:15 "
Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and thereby many be defiled;"

Hebrews 12:16 "
Lest there [be] any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright."

Hebrews 12:17 "
For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears."

Hebrews 12:18 "
For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,"
Of "not come" to vs "come" to, we now begin the allegoric comparison of two mountains: Horeb-bull Mt Sinai in Arabia vs Mt Sion, each having seven traits (noted in biblical sevens).

Hebrews 12:19 "
And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which [voice] they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:"

Hebrews 12:20 "
(For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:"

Hebrews 12:21 "
And so terrible was the sight, [that] Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)"

Hebrews 12:22 "
But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,"

Hebrews 12:23 "
To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,"

Hebrews 12:24 "
And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than [that of] Abel."

Hebrews 12:25 "
See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more [shall not] we [escape], if we turn away from him that [speaketh] from heaven:"

Hebrews 12:26 "
Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven."

Hebrews 12:27 "
And this [word], Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain."

Hebrews 12:28 "
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:"

Hebrews 12:29 "
For our God [is] a consuming fire."

Our God suggests two Gods be compared: their God: law and our God: grace. It also suggests the comparison of destructive and constructive fires: our God being a constructive and consuming fire that consumes all law: sin and death, rather than compromising with it. Folks, brethren all, God (His Grace) doesn't compromise nor plea bargain with law. Rather he consumes it, to the point it is abolished, done away, taken away, blotted out, so none perish in the end that's already written; that we should run(haste) unto, as if unto the day(light) of God.


The "grace" of "our" Lord "Jesus Christ" with "you" all. "Amen".
