EZEKIEL 42-43:
In yesterday's tour of the ideal temple we viewed the sanctuary and Most Holy Place.
ISAIAH 18:
Yesterday we heard of Damascus and Syria and Israel.
HEBREWS 12:
After recounting the more victorious heroes of faithful believing, the author spoke about all those unnamed people who victoriously suffered because of fully believing. The Faith Chapter ends with this:
Heb. 11:39 NLT All these people earned a good reputation because of their [fully believing//faith], yet none of them received all that God had promised.
40 For God had something better in mind for us, so that they would not reach perfection without us.
NLT Translation notes:
Heb. 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of [fully believing//faith], let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.
2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who [initiated/initiates] and perfects our [way of believing//faith]. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God's throne.
3 Think of all the hostility he endured from sinful people; then you won't become weary and give up. 4 After all, you have not yet given [up] your lives in your struggle against sin.
