I have struggled to find English words to adequately express God’s “love” and “friendship” even though I have received an “unction” from God regarding many other bible words and subjects. This morning I woke up with the iconic Coke advertising song in my head. I’d like to buy the world a home and furnish it with love Grow apple trees and honey bees And snow white turtle doves (Chorus) I’d like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony I’d like to buy the world a Coke And keep it company That’s the real thing(Chorus) (Chorus 2) What the world wants today Is the real thing What the world wants today Is the real thing…which is a great song and fantastic ad because it causes the flesh thoughts and feelings of flesh human beings to feel good, when they hear the song “In perfect harmony”. Hebrews 12:1 says “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” which verse 11 describes as “grievous” and more than 8 billion do not survive the “world” ’s “so great a cloud of witnesses” of verse 1 nor complete the “race” of verse one and are subsequently the “bastards” of verse 8 all in the context of Hebrews 12:1- 24 which understanding will be greatly enhanced by studying Hebrews 11:1-40 understanding that “the promise” in verse 39 was translated from Greek feminine noun 1860 epangelia that best reflects God’s definition translated into “the promise” in Acts 2:33 “Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear” because the Old Testament heroes of the 11th chapter of Hebrews were born and died prior to John 7:39 “But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified”. English “us” and “should [not] be made perfect” in verse 40 were translated from Greek pronoun 2257 hemon and Greek verb 5048 teleioo respectively. Greek pronoun 2257 hemon has been translated into “us” “our” and “we”. God has proved in many prior posts that when we see the English words “ourselves” “us-ward ” “us” “our” and “we” bible writers are referring specifically to “seven thousand” “elect” “election” “the sons of God”. When God performs the action of Greek verb 5048 teleioo God causes “seven thousand” “elect” “election” “the sons of God” to complete transition from flesh thoughts and feelings until their “heart” “soul” and “mind” is entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways. The first few years of being proved wrong every day by God himself was indeed “grievous” but the latter years of being raised up by God as God’s own old child has been “joyous”. Hebrews 11:40 is a heavy burden to bear and is why more than 8 billion will not complete “the race that is set before us” during this earth age but rather than the “world” pushing them off the pathway to God’s kingdom during this earth age God’s “seven thousand” “elect” “election” “the sons of God” will be pulling them into God’s Kingdom during the “thousand years” between this earth age and the eternal age that follows. Jesus, in John 6:63 and John 4:23-24 said “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him” “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth”. For “seven thousand” Jesus’ prior words are spiritual. For more than 8 billion Jesus’ prior words are literal.
