The God with whom we have to do is an invisible God: he is so to our senses, to the eye of the body; and this shows the folly of those who pretend to make images of God, whom no man hath seen, nor can see. There we have those that compose the church, in allusion to Christ, contrasted with the position of Israel as a nation, because of the nearness which they possess by the grace of Christ known on high.

May God grant to us to leave behind not a germ of evil but a lovely thing in which the lives of those who come afterwards will find blessing. "He suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust," says another apostle, "that he might bring us" not to pardon, nor to peace, nor to heaven, but "to God." Indeed, not being revealed of old, according to the apostle, it is altogether a mistake to go to the Old Testament for that truth. "For the law made nothing perfect" is a parenthesis.

God, give us that kind of wisdom that in our choices we will take eternity into view. Every change of mind is far from being repentance, which doctrinally means that special and profound revolution in the soul when we take God's part against ourselves, judging our past ways, yea, what we are in His sight. What more can I say? ), The strength of nature, as well as grace, is from God: he can make the barren soul fruitful, as well as the barren womb. God alone who spake it into being can pronounce upon it. In this story, as Moffatt points out, there are five different acts of faith. That God will not suffer the injuries done to his people to remain unpunished, nor their sufferings unrewarded. [2.] Observe, Moses was persecuted betimes, and forced to be concealed; in this he was a type of Christ, who was persecuted almost as soon as he was born, and his parents were obliged to flee with him into Egypt for his preservation. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible ( Hebrews 11:27 ). Hence the apostle applies the type distinctly now, as far as the "order" of the priesthood goes. As ever we expect to be justified and saved in the great and terrible day of the Lord, let us now prepare an ark, secure an interest in Christ, and in the ark of the covenant, and do it speedily, before the door be shut, for there is not salvation in any other.

Accordingly we have the third use of the seat Christ has taken. It is interesting how that a person living for their own pleasure is constantly pursuing pleasure, constantly trying to find something new, something different, some new sensation. The consideration of this should inflame the affections, enlarge the desires, and excite the diligent endeavours, of the people of God after this city that he has prepared for them. In a wicked and corrupt generation Enoch walked with God and so when the end came to him, there was no shock or interruption. No figure therefore would be more natural than that, if God intended certain persons called to have an inheritance, there should be a testament about the matter. Paul, in writing to the Corinthians, said, "The gospel that I declared unto you, how that Christ died according to the scriptures, and was buried according to the scriptures, and rose again the third day according to the scriptures" ( 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 ). In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen. We have here those whose names are not only mentioned, but the particular trials and actings of their faith are subjoined.

Worse was to come. Quietly he said: "Consider it now; you will give me your decision before you leave that circle." Because he lives, he has a permanent priesthood, always interceding for his own, and thus he is able completely to save those who trust in him. Abraham is the supreme example of faith. According, to the Jews it was quite impossible, if God had once established a covenant, He could ever change; but the apostle replies that their own prophet is against their theory.

God can and will in his own time and way cause all the powerful opposition that is made to his interest and glory to fall down, and the grace of faith is mighty through God for the pulling down of strong-holds; he will make Babylon fall before the faith of his people, and, when he has some great thing to do for them, he raises up great and strong faith in them. "For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. It is observable that the Spirit of God has not thought fit to say any thing here of the faith of our first parents; and yet the church of God has generally, by a pious charity, taken it for granted that God gave them repentance and faith in the promised seed, that he instructed them in the mystery of sacrificing, that they instructed their children in it, and that they found mercy with God, after they had ruined themselves and all their posterity. There is something of permanent greatness here. They saw them afar off.

Had they been taunted with having no altar, possessing nothing so holy and so glorious in its associations? What a surprise to the Hebrew believers to find such truths as these so strikingly shown out in type even in the Jewish system! (:17-22) FAITH OF THE PATRIARCHS - PASSING THE BATON OF GOD'S PROMISES TO THE NEXT GENERATION -- LOOKING FORWARD TO FUTURE BLESSING. And when they came to Mount Moriah, Abraham bound Isaac, and put him on the altar, raised the knife, and God said, "Okay far enough, Abraham. God saved his family for his sake; it was well for them that they were Noah's sons and daughters; it was well for those women that they married into Noah's family; perhaps they might have married to great estates in other families, but then they would have been drowned. The intention here was not to dwell either on the scene in which their waiting was put to the test, the wilderness, or on anything that could insinuate the settled position of Israel in the land. 22.By faith Joseph, etc. They expected little from the world. If he takes them into such a relation to himself, he will provide for them accordingly. He made them both heads of different tribes, as if they had been his own immediate sons. (3.) There is a story of two children who had been given a toy Noah's Ark as a present. II. The story has just said that "the time drew near that Israel must die" ( Genesis 47:29). In its ordinary usage, it has a much deeper force. The lamb dying instead of the firstborn, and there we get a very beautiful picture of the substitutionary work of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who died in our place that we might have life.And so by faith he kept the Passover. Was this Paul's doctrine? They all died in faith not having received the promises. He alludes to several facts, but leaves them. That is the way in which so many people would like to sacrifice to God; but only the dearest and the best is good enough for him. And the writer probably was in his mind just taking from the beginning the men of the Old Testament who by faith their lives were made outstanding.Now here's what they did through faith. And so as Isaac was with his father now, the two of them walking towards Moriah, Isaac said, "Father, here is the wood and we've got the fire, but where is the sacrifice? "By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips, confessing his name. It is easy to see how this passage can be read against the terrible happenings of these days. Though only the mother of Moses is mentioned in the history, yet, by what is here said, it seems his father not only consented to it, but consulted about it. Apply it to Christ's death as the testator, and nothing can be plainer or more forcible. They were prepared to believe that God could make their obvious weakness able for an incredible task. Nothing but stupid, obstinate, unbelieving prejudice, after the appearance of the Lord Jesus, could have suggested any other application of the Psalm. As a Christian I am now free, by God's will, to go in peace and assurance of His love into the holiest of all yes, now. . In point of fact they were reaching out after something better, I mean, the heavenly country. What the wise men of antiquity, the Platos and Aristotles, never knew what the modern sages blunder about, without the slightest reason, after all the word of God has made the possession of every child of His. For the moisture blanket shielded the earth from much of the cosmic radiation which causes mutation of the cells and the breakdown and the aging process.The period of the antediluvians with the long life and with the tremendous growth of plants and trees, they'd never seen rain before. By a testament, to be sure, as every one knows. It is a great privilege to be the offspring of good parents, and often the wicked children of good parents fare the better in this world for their parents' sake, for things present are in the covenant; but they are not the best things, and no man knoweth love or hatred by having or wanting such things. Upon his mind; it impressed his soul with a fear of God's judgment: he was moved with fear. He first brings us into the joy and nearness of His presence. He amassed an army and invaded that country. What, then, is man's actual estate? The treasury was sacked. He didn't build any cities. As ever we expect to be justified and saved. To take it seemed impossible. For not merely did David receive from Jehovah that throne, but never were the people of God lifted out of such a state of distress and desolation, and placed on such a height of firm and stable triumph as under that one man's reign. I am not going to enter into any statement of facts as to this now, but there is no truth in its own place more important than that with which the apostle commences in this chapter, namely, that "through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God." But when the Lord was talking to Abraham concerning his son that He was going to give to him, Abraham said, "O Lord, let Ishmael live before thee!" By faith we may see this invisible God.

The promise was that in Isaac his seed would grow and grow until he became a mighty nation in which all others would be blessed. Nowhere does the apostle give the smallest occasion for such a thought. They had not received the promises, that is, they had not received the things promised, they had not yet been put into possession of Canaan, they had not yet seen their numerous issue, they had not seen Christ in the flesh. Envy leads to bitterness; bitterness to hatred; and hatred to murder. There was David, who had once been a shepherd lad and who, to his own and everyone else's astonishment, was anointed king in preference to all his brothers ( 1 Samuel 16:1-13). Their rashness was great, and their ruin was grievous. The consideration of this should inflame the affections, enlarge the desires, and excite the diligent endeavours, of the people of God after this city that he has prepared for them. "If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?" It does not appear that he had any expectation of being countermanded, and prevented from offering up his son; such an expectation would have spoiled the trial, and consequently the triumph, of his faith; but he knew that God was able to raise him from the dead, and he believed that God would do so, since such great things depended upon his son, which must have failed if Isaac had not a further life. (2.) He prophesied that they should be blessed; but, as Isaac did before, so now Jacob prefers the younger, Ephraim; and though Joseph had placed them so, that the right hand of his father should be laid on Manasseh, the elder, Jacob wittingly laid it on Ephraim, and this by divine direction, for he could not see, to show that the Gentile church, the younger, should have a more abundant blessing than the Jewish church, the elder. God will keep His word. 11:23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. [3.] 11:22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. 11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

The story of the promise of a son to Abraham and Sarah is told in Genesis 17:15-22; Genesis 18:9-15; Genesis 21:1-8. (iv) Noah was righteous through faith. As in chapter 6 he declares that he is persuaded better things of them, than that they would abandon the Holy Ghost; so here he expected better things than that they would thus dishonour the sacrifice of Christ In that case, he says, God was not unrighteous to forget their work and labour of love; in this case, he lets them know that he had not forgotten the way in which they had suffered for Christ. The promise is made to believers and their children, and to as many as the Lord our God shall call. "Into the second [goes] the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people: the Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way of the holies was not yet made manifest, while as yet the first tabernacle was standing: which is a figure for the present time according to which are offered both gifts and sacrifices that could not, as pertaining to the conscience, make him that did the religious service perfect; which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation." If we have lived with Christ, we may die in the certainty that we go to be for ever with our Lord. For the law maketh men priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath which was since the law, a Son perfected (or consecrated) for ever." How can such a consciousness as this be the portion of the Christian? at the request of Thermouthis, he promised to make him his heir. Because the Holy Ghost bears this witness, and nothing less, to the perfectness of the work of Christ. God's message might look foolishness at the moment; but Noah believed it and staked everything on it. The promise of a posterity, and of the Messiah, must either be fulfilled by means of this son or not at all; so that, besides his most tender affection to this his son, all his expectations were bound up in him, and, if he perished, must perish with him.
