The “all” longed for their Gentile brethren; non-saints cannot do that
The “all” prayed for Gentile Christians; non-saints cannot do that
The inevitable conclusion is that the “all” were the people of the context – Jewish saints in Jerusalem.

February 01, 2015Hebrews, Part 20
Hebrews 13:4-25
Hebrews 13:4 – Marriage according to God’s law is an honorable thing.
Hebrews 13:5 – Be content with what you have. God has promised to never leave or forsake those who follow Him. See Deuteronomy 31:6, 8; Joshua 1:5.
Hebrews 13:6 – This is a reference to Psalms 118:6. We must never fear man more than God.
Hebrews 13:7-9 – They (and we, by extension) were to remember those who lead them and imitate their faith because God has not changed. Therefore, don’t be distracted with new doctrines that arise.
Hebrews 13:12 – Jesus’ sacrifice was outside of the Old Law – thus He suffered outside the gate. We must go to Him to worship properly – we can’t try to stay inside the gate and still worship Him correctly. We must recognize that the Old Law is in the past.
Hebrews 13:15 – This verse is sometimes used to teach against instrumental music, but it is not really talking about that. It is broader than that – it is talking about our speech.
Hebrews 13:16 – The sacrifice God wants is for us to do good and share with others.
Hebrews 13:17 – Obey the elders of the congregation, but not to the point that you go against God.
Hebrews 13:21 – This is what the Holy Spirit wished for them and also for us: to be equipped in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ.
The purpose of this book was to forestay further apostasy by showing how the new covenant is superior to the old.
