549 - Les Feldick Bible Study - Lesson 3 Part 1 Book 46 - How Shall We Escape

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 3 * PART 1 * BOOK 46 How Shall We Escape And in that next verse, he says, "As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; (of Salvation) hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest,…" So he makes it so plain that even Paul’s letters are included in that word ‘Scriptures.’ Now I think we can come back to Hebrews with that as an introduction that we’re going to study the Book of Hebrews, realizing that it was written first and foremost to Hebrews who were having a hard time making that break, away from Judaism and into this tremendous Gospel of Grace, but it is also a Book that is for our learning. So consequently, verse 30: Hebrews 10:30 "For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord, And again, The Lord shall judge his people." Now first and foremost we’re talking about the Nation of Israel, but we’re also talking about the whole human race, in fact, come back to Romans chapter 3 for a moment. I was just sort of standing there dumfounded, and in order to get a trigger to what I should be bringing, a gentlemen in the back of the room, said, "Well Les, you’re always talking about we’re under grace, faith + nothing, without works - then how do you explain the word ‘works’ in Revelation chapter 20?" Well I was just dumfounded, and I said, "Do you realize what you’re opening?" Well I didn’t give him time to answer me, and told the audience, "Let’s turn to Revelation 20." Well that’s the Great White Throne judgment for the lost! After the lesson was over one of the gentlemen came up and said, "Les, we haven’t heard hell-fire in this church for 50 years." I said, "Well, he opened it, I didn’t." But here it is, and it’s true. Romans 15:4 "For whatsoever things were written aforetime (now that primarily goes for the Old Testament, but I think it also applies to the Four Gospels, as I think they were written before Paul’s letters, so I think we’re safe to also include the Four Gospels here) were written for our learning, that we (as believers in this Age of Grace) through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope." And you remember I’ve been using, over the last several months, those two verses in Peter’s epistles, where Peter admonished his readers, which were also primarily Jews, that they were to go to the epistles of Paul if they really wanted to find the plan of Salvation. Oh, they’re always trying to bring in world peace, and when they say peace and safety) then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child and they shall not escape." They’re lost, do you see that? Now let’s go on into Hebrews chapter 10, and we’ll use verse 30 and 31. Yes, Hebrews was written primarily to the Jew, because that’s what it says, "To the Hebrews." But listen we can’t just say, "Oh well that’s not for me, that’s for the Jew." No, we’re all in the same boat now, because God has reached out beyond the Nation of Israel, and the whole world is now part and parcel of all this. There will be no believers at the Great White Throne) small and great, stand before God; (So they’ve been resurrected, and will be standing before Him bodily, not with a body fit for bliss in glory, but rather with a body that’s fit for their doom, the lake of fire) and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." Which is a record of their deeds during their life on earth. Hebrews 10:30a "For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me,…" Now we’ve got to stop and ask ourselves, "How can God say that? How can God say some of these things we’ve been looking at?" "Well you see the reason is, when He finished the plan of Salvation, when Christ suffered at the hands of those Roman soldiers, and even as He went down the road to Golgotha, and they laid the heavy cross upon Him, and He fell under the weight of it, suffering every step of the way. Hebrews 2:3 "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation;.." Now I’m going to divide them into three parts. #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
