Hebrews 13:1-10 -- Keep on loving one another
1 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.
There has been a concerted effort for the last few years to divide Americans. They teach that people who support one candidate are “deplorable”, “irredeemable”, “chumps”, “racists”, “fascists”, etc. The basic strategy is to “divide and conquer”. The Lord’s strategy is to “keep on loving one another”.
2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.
I was in Washington DC Jan 6th. The mayor was inhospitable. Prior to the rallies the mayor shut down the city with all kinds of threats and concerns about the pandemic. Much of this was an illogical response. There have been numerous studies that show that viral load is critical in determining how sick people get. The reason people get sick and get the flu in the winter is because they go indoors. When you are indoors it is much easier to get a higher viral load. The Bikers whose event was called a super spreader event was traced back to a bar. Those bikers caught it while sitting in a bar. We have had rallies and protests for months and months and none of them have been super spreader events. These events are human based experiments and support this theory that viral load is much less outside than inside. If people feel they are in a category of most susceptible to the pandemic they aren’t going to come to DC. The rallies take place outside. If these rallies were super spreader events as they pretend then tens of thousands of people would be in the hospital as we had massive rallies all over the country prior to the election. If you are outside and there is even a small breeze the virus gets dispersed in a huge volume of air. Yes, you can still be exposed to the virus but being exposed with a very small viral load does not make you sick, it makes you immune. It is the exact same concept as why we give people a vaccine. I was at the first rally in Washington DC with over a hundred thousand people. I was at Atlanta, I was at Harrisburg, and I was at the second rally in Washington DC. Almost everyone at these rallies has been to several rallies. Yes it is anecdotal evidence, but anecdotal evidence for hundreds of thousands of people. That is the same thing as experimental evidence.
The mayor has also been pushing privately to have the national guard arrest the protesters for “unlawful assembly”. The national guard has refused. I was stunned at all the boarded up businesses here clearly trying to protect themselves from BLM (they put up signs on the boards saying they support BLM). I learned that homicides skyrocketed by 40% her first year as mayor and I also learned that Blacks have been hurt more by covid in Washington DC than any other city in the US due to her missteps. Still others complain that the schools are a mess with cronyism and elitism allowing preferential treatment for the rich and well connected. On the flip side she is a black woman. This is known as “identity politics” rather than looking at a person’s resume. When I was at the rally one speaker asked who was there from someplace other than DC and it seemed that all the hands shot up. There were a million or more visitors who came to this city Jan 6th and saw her incompetence.
3 Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.
The way they have treated people who were whistle blowers concerning the election fraud and the January 6th protestors is horrendous. They dox them, they threaten them, they attack them and yes, they even imprison them. The US has not yet become Communist China, we are not treated as bad as people in China. However, the politicians that sold us out, sold us out to China, the Great Red Dragon. Change is coming.
4 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.
The US has become Sodom and Gomorrah. Epstein’s pedophile island has revealed how extensive and widespread this is among the elites, the rich and the powerful. This is one way that they are able to “own” these politicians and judges. One way is simply buy them off, the other way is to have compromising information about them. It is called a honey pot.
5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” 6 So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”
There are many who choose to do the right thing and have had their careers destroyed as a result. There are news outlets that were on Youtube but Youtube censored and banned them. They have gone to Parler, GETTR, TruthSocial and Rumble at financial loss. There is a price to pay to take this path and the Lord has promised to never leave us or forsake us. Just pray, the Lord is my helper. I left NYC because of the vaccine mandates. My wife and I both left our jobs and moved to South Dakota. I have already gotten a job with the school system, my son has already gotten a job at a restaurant, and my wife has also gotten a job. The Lord is our helper, trust Him.
7 Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.
The Black Robed Regiment is just one example. It is wonderful to study the “biblical history” of the US. By that I mean the words of faith that impacted the course of this nation. Martin Luther King Jr., is a leader you can consider, Nelson Mandela is another, the apostle Paul, Peter, John and James are others. They suffered injustice, they were imprisoned unrighteously, they were slandered, stoned and many were martyred but despite all that they never turned to violence. I am now a member of the Gideon's ministry, since 1908 the Gideon's have distributed 2.5 billion bibles worldwide.
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Look at the context of this verse. The things we are going through today are the same as they were a few years ago, a few decades ago, a few centuries ago, and even a few millennia ago. Likewise those who were one with Jesus in these trials were also the same.
9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings.
Strange teachings would definitely be teachings that are not in the Bible.
It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods, which is of no benefit to those who do so.
The teaching that the bread and wine that we eat during the Lord’s table is magically transformed into the body and blood of Jesus is a strange teaching. Grace will strengthen your hearts, faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. It is faith that strengthens your heart. Courage is the expression of faith, love and hope.
10 We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle have no right to eat.
Remember our altar, the Lord’s table, who gave his body and blood for us. He has made a covenant with us and that gives us a right to eat from that table.
