32<\/sup> But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings:<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

33<\/sup> partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so treated;<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

34<\/sup> for you had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

35<\/sup> Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

36<\/sup> For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

37<\/sup> \u201c For yet a little while, and He who is coming will come and will not tarry.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

38<\/sup> Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

39<\/sup> But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n

recall (v.32) \u2014 habitually<\/span><\/h3>\n

illuminated (v.32) \u2014 enlightened by the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:13<\/span><\/a><\/span>; Hebrews 2:4<\/span><\/a><\/span>; 6:4<\/span><\/a><\/span>)<\/span><\/h3>\n

The writer appeals to their faith in past afflictions to encourage the Jews to be faithful in their current afflictions.<\/span><\/h3>\n

spectacle (v.33) = lit. “to bring upon the stage” \u2014 exposed by shame or by shameful treatment. The Greek is theatrizo<\/em> from which we get “theater.”<\/span><\/h3>\n

reproaches (v.33) = contemptuous defamation<\/span><\/h3>\n

tribulations (v.33) = pressure \u2014 what weighs down the spirit<\/span><\/h3>\n

companions (v.33) \u2014 they suffered from seeing others persecuted and from helping them (financially?)<\/span><\/h3>\n

me in my chains (v.34) \u2014 probably should be “them that were in bonds”<\/span><\/h3>\n

goods (v.34) = possessions \u2014 they lost their possessions<\/span><\/h3>\n

knowing (v.34) \u2014 from experience<\/span><\/h3>\n

in heaven (v.34) \u2014 not in the best manuscripts (perhaps added by a translator who was trying to make this apply to Christians and not just believing Jews)<\/span><\/h3>\n

confidence (v.35) = freedom in speaking, cheerful courage<\/span><\/h3>\n

patience (v.36) = lit. “to remain under” \u2014 so, remain under persecution and don’t seek to escape it by returning to Judaism.<\/span><\/h3>\n

receive (v.36) = receive and carry away for use and enjoyment<\/span><\/h3>\n

Verse 37 is a quote from Habakkuk 2:3 \u2014 He refers to Christ<\/h3>\n

He who is coming (v.37) = lit. “the Coming One” (Revelation 1:8)<\/span><\/h3>\n

a little while (v.37) = lit. “for yet a little \u2014 a very little \u2014 while”<\/span><\/h3>\n

the just shall live by faith (v.38) \u2014 Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17<\/span><\/a><\/span>; Galatians 3:11<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n

draws back (v.38) \u2014 with the sense of a deliberate action<\/span><\/h3>\n

we (v.39) \u2014 emphatic<\/span><\/h3>\n

perdition (v.39) \u2014 not “loss of being” but “loss of well-being”<\/span><\/h3>\n

saving (v.39) = obtaining, gaining, possessing<\/span><\/h3>\n

Terrible sufferings are in store for those who find themselves in Daniel’s seventieth week, the time of Jacob’s trouble. Unable to buy or sell (Revelation 13:17), these people endure a great flight of afflictions just as Christ had forewarned in Matthew chapters 24 and 25.<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Hebrew Tribulation epistle of James is replete with similar warnings (James 1:11; 2:5-6, 15-17; 5:1-3).<\/span><\/h3>\n

Their afflictions were so severe that one of their leaders was stoned to death (Acts 7:60<\/span><\/a><\/span>), the twelve tribes were scattered (Acts 8:1<\/span><\/a><\/span>) and there was little doubt but that the the times prophesied by Joel (Acts 2:16-17<\/span><\/a><\/span>) were taking place. \u2014 McLean, page 149.<\/span><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
