Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Hebrews 12:1-29

Shall we turn now to Hebrews, chapter 12.Wherefore, seeing we are also compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses ( Hebrews 12:1 ),What this does not mean is that the Old Testament saints, which are spoken of in chapter 11, are sitting there in heaven watching the activities on the earth.

It does mean that their life of faith and... read more

Nor is it the celestial host only that are interested in this contest; we are... read more

25. See Uttered, as Delitzsch says, with the uplifted warning finger. Him The Son of God, as the Jehovah and Logos of both Testaments. Spake on earth In the trumpets, thunders, and voice from Sinai.
