 We can see The Unseen GOD in these examples

3. Hope - in GOD's Creation – though The WORD Came 4,000 years later and The Word of      Faith comes in us–  bringing Mankind into The Finished Work after another 2,000 years.

4. The Hope of The Finished Sacrifice in JESUS.

5. Enoch walked with GOD and he was Taken Up.

6. GOD rewards belief when we add diligence.

7. The Ark took 120 years to build. GOD furnished the water

8. Abraham left idols and Babylon behind, to follow GOD.

Chapter 11 shows us The Ones Who are written down as Faithful. They were not perfect but Mature enough to do the work set before them with  GOD’s Help. GOD is The Unseen One and HE Formed Everything Around Us. HE is Transforming us into HIS Will and Likeness. HE has sent JESUS and The Saints ahead to show us the possibilities.

  WITH  FAITH it  IS  Possible to Please HIM... HE     Rewards those who believe and seek HIM Diligently.

 Like Abram and The Faithful, We don’t see all HE has promised, but we have It by Faith in HIS Word, in Spirit, and in HIM We Live and Move and Have our Being.... Act 17:28

  Chapter 12   – Commandment: 8 Do Not Steal

 - Purpose: To show GOD owns us. We are HIS Servants and are expected to grow into Adopted Sons. We are not our own. HE has the right to discipline His Children.

 – Why does GOD discipline those HE loves? Without discipline we do not grow, we are cast away and cannot be used in HIS Plan and Work.

 Chapter 12 deals with The Discipline and Care we must endure - All who are called into The Reconciliation of The World through Plan of GOD.    The Early Church in Acts turned The World Upside Down but they fell into great tribulation from Jew and Rome. History was foretold by JESUS and in The Revelation. Today many suffer in this world and in certain nations are sawn asunder. In the USA, we face Mystery Babylon and her Merchandising. Yet The LORD and we in HIM shall Overcome by Faith.

12:1-2 ‘Let us run with endurance, looking toward JESUS the author and finisher (Perfecter) of our Faith.’ for there is such a great cloud of witnesses....
