The clarity and structure of this video are absolutely brilliant. You take the viewer/student on a clear journey... thank you!
My favourite book in the New Testament
Why is it your favorite? Do you come from a Jewish background?
God is good
Yes, I agree these types of videos provide a clear understanding of the books of the Bible.
Awesome, thank you for these teaching they are an encouragement to my life as I learn from them how God used his prophets teaching the people how to seek God stay heed in his promises.
I love this, it helps me to broaden my knowledge in the Bible 🙏
Keep producing these videos they help me alot
Amazing study, I personally find the letter as profoundly insightful and inspiring. There is a sense in which the treasures of knowledge and truth contained in it are inexhaustible. I extremely enjoyed the connection the letter had with those other writings found in Qumran, very illuminating.
Very good initiative to explain Bible true meaning with lot of detailing. May God bless his ministry abundantly.
Awesome teaching on the book of Hebrews I am looking forward to the next teaching.
god is goodd,come from china
Please 🙏 don't ever spell GOD out of the lower case !!!!!!!
@@phillipdavis502he probably doesn't know English as well as us
You're right. My apologies
Very clear and organized information!
Thank you Dr Stephen Um!
For those asking, quotations of the Holy Bible are from the NIV.
I'm glad I ran into 3rdmill
This is very insightful, thank you
I believe the Apostle Paul wrote the letter to the people he went to school with, The Sanhedrin
Is there any Historical evidence you can use to back this up? I think it's actually a good theory. I'm just curious if you have Any evidence
🙏🙏🙏 Thank God for another blessed opportunity 🙏🙏🙏. I am greatful for my freedom I am greatful to work hard for my family and I will honor my soon to wife and family. I will always be a better steward with my money and I will always respect my freedom.
as one who reads the greek NT and Septuagint daily for many years, the greek grammar and construction and word usage in Hebrews is totally unique; Some scholars familiar with alexandrian greek say this high greek looks alexandrian; Since Apollos was recognized by many of the NT churches in Asia as an inspired teacher, and Paul recognized this as well: he would be likely choice; He was known by Timothy as Paul instructed him to encourage Apollos to visit these other churches; So Paul trusted his teaching. Apollos called Timothy his brother, not his son; again not from Paul.
Priscilla. In more recent times, some scholars have advanced a case for Priscilla having been the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews. This suggestion came from Adolf von Harnack in 1900.
Great work! Where can I have access to the entire series???
Superb
Failure to identify the author of the book of Hebrews defeats the “forcefulness” and meaning to the book.
“it is always unwise to build a positive philosophy on uncertain, negative assertions.” ML A.
Paul fits in the historical context of the circumstances that make the book of Hebrews an “Urgent Message” to a people who were still caught up in the old liturgical rituals. People who revered angles. People who had rejected Christ but revered Moses, and Melchizedek.
It was before the destruction of Jerusalem and the old Apostle was in Prison and as he had said before, he owed a debt to the Jews and rightfully so.
No one else could have had a better and deeper grasp of the issues that the book discusses.
This is nice, but can i get more insights on other books please?
Have you ever thought that The beloved disciple of Jesus - John the Apostle wrote the book of Hebrews? It seams to be his style in the Gospel of Christ according to St. John, as well as the way he wrote I, II, and III John - referring himself in these a "the elder".
What bible are you reading from ? mine says " How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; .
Thank you for this presentation, it’s very helpful. I’d like to know what significance there is in the fact that I am not a Hebrew. In other words, does a cultural gentile need to be so aware of Jewish practice in order to then overcome it?
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*
{Hebrews 12:1}
Know ye not that they which *run in a race* run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
{1 Corinthians 9:24}
Know ye that our brother *Timothy* is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, *I* will see you.
Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of *Italy* salute you.
{Hebrews 14:23-24}
"The Man Who Claims to Know A Thing Knows Nothing, But He Should Know... The Man Who Says He Knows God, The Same Will Be Known of Him." St Paul Was The Apostle Who Knew God... Who Are You? . #Smile 🌴

wow
Great verse. I have not.
2nd Timothy 2:15. Research Study to show thyself Not ashamed rightly dividing the Word the Author of Hebrews was “Priscilla”
I highly recommend Robert Breaker's video "Introduction to Hebrews Verse by Verse Bible Study KJV", because it lays a great case for that the author was Paul, and that it only could make sense, if it was him. Hebrews is a book meant for Jews who will be in the tribulation, once the church is raptured, and will be as a tool for them during that period, so that they can realize that Jesus is their Messiah.
14:44
What is extraordinary is that the NT scholars do not have any idea of the author, the destination or the occasion for writing the letter to the Hebrews. Over the centuries there have been endless debates and, quite frankly, some ridiculous suggestions made based on very litte evidence. The problem is that they deal with authorship, target audience and occasion for writing separately. Identifying the message will reveal the problem being addressed and thus will give clues as to the target audience. An admission of not having any idea of the target audience means they haven't fathomed out the key teaching point and the problem being addressed in the letter. The clue: look for the unique teaching not found anywhere else on the NT.
Good points. Who do believe wrote it?
The baybayin mystery. Once the baybayin mystery is handled with care and carefully introduce to all people in all walks of life then all the confusion will be abolish around the world i believe. It was said by our national hero that you cant go to the future if you will not look back. I saw some rrsearch that baybayin is the first language and hebrew only evolves from it and later on many languages was evolve. It was also mention thsr this was the divine language used by adam and eve to communicate to God. This might help the world let us go back from the start when all is fresh and life is just starting to develop. This baybayin will bring us all people whether what religion and nationality closer to God. Come let us study carefully baybayin mystery
Doesn’t sound like the book was written by Paul. A different style.
At 16:07……..Palestine is not mentioned in the bible. Did you mean Philistines?
If the gift of eternal life can be “rescinded” then it was never really “eternal” in the first place right? Hebrews 6 is thorny, check out these Book by book studies - czcams.com/play/PLU2hSdebH46j3C4HPz7oRYaTyCG9LRZHf.html&si=GmUJWCeZvH_JAo6k
There were women followers The women of Magdala were from a place of WEALTH. Pray Meditate & Study and you will know TRUTH and The Truth shall Make you Free!!!
Maybe it should not be assumed that the author was male. Mary was incredibly passionate about Christ and His teachings. There was a degree of jealousy from the other disciples regarding Christ's favoritism of Mary. He also told Mary things He did not tell the other disciples. Mary may have felt the need to conceal her identity also because of the times. She may have felt an anonymous book would have less chance of being discarded or looked down on, because a woman wrote it. Just my thoughts...
I'm having a hard time because it's not a person
The author of the book of Hebrews, the Apostle Paul contrast the shadows and the types of the old covenant, with tge substance which is Jesus Christ.
"The author of the book of Hebrews, the Apostle Paul ..." you obviously didn't pay much attention to the video.
@@arogue469
The video is exceedingly incorrect.
@@larrybedouin2921 perhaps it errs in some things, I've only just begun it, but it's accurate in this point. Consider: "how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at the first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard," (Hebrews 2:3)
God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will." (Hebrews 2:4)
"Confirmed to us by those who heard." The author is not an Apostle, and certainly not Paul:
"For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ."
(Galatians 1:11-12)

@@larrybedouin2921 "Critics are legless men who think to teach running." That would appear to be you, sir.
And your references are too vague to prove any clear point. Nor is it convincing - or even logical - to try to use inferred correlations from outside the text to refute clear statements contained within the text.
Probably Southeast Asian
There ... no "Palestinian" Jews because Palastine was not known as such until 135 a.d. and has never been a Globally recognised State or country. The name was Given by a Roman general after defeating the Israelis uprising. He done this to rub in their defeat even further because the name is attached to ancient enemies of Israel, the Philistines.
Everything in the Bible is Truly stated but everything is not True. Jesus did say that We Error not knowing the scriptures and the Power of God. Salvation is deliverance. Jesus did Say don’t you know you are gods John 10:34 and He did say these works I’m doing you can do also and Greater…Jesus was not even a Christian. Christianity came with Constantine and his mother CHRIST IS CONSCIOUSNESS He came to change the way we think…And Paul said in Galatians 4:24 DONT look at the Bible literally but Allegorically…Now everyone Think about that
You should vall out all the people that christians are killing around the world, the Hebrews are not Christian, Christianity robs the Hebrews mission to help the world not divide it and split its richest among white people 87 million murderd to force this people. But its not tje hebrew, its a roman trick..
