“The author of Hebrews exhorted his readers to enter into God’s rest by resting ‘from [their] works, as God did from His’ (Heb. 4:10). If God ceased other activities in order to enjoy Adam, then humankind enters God’s rest by ceasing other activities in order to take pleasure in worshiping God.” (Page 298)
“First, angelic princes mentioned in Daniel do not rule over geographical areas with ‘explicitly defined boundaries.’” (Page 427)
“In Psalm 95 David cited the unbelief and the judgment of the wilderness generation as a warning for the people of his day. Then by using David’s psalm the writer of Hebrews passed the same warning on to Jewish believers, their descendants in the first century. For the typological comparison to apply properly to his readers the spiritual condition of the wilderness generation must closely correspond to the spiritual condition of the audience of this epistle.” (Pages 287–288)
“It seems then that, with the help of the archangel Michael, Gabriel was in an advantageous position with respect to the angelic prince of Persia. Michael moved to the front of the battle, leaving Gabriel free to accomplish another aspect of his mission, now40 toward Daniel.” (Page 420)
“A special call of God to ministry may be understood as divine intervention in the life and work of an individual, pointing in some specific direction consistent with His will. This special call is marked by an overpowering sense of God’s leading and authority. Those called in this way testify to their reluctance to accept the call, and they often speak of their feelings of unworthiness. Yet those who attest to a special call often display boldness and confidence in God’s power in their lives.” (Page 93)
