Today we are continuing our sermon series in Hebrews. We will be looking at Hebrews 13-2. Hebrews 13 is the last chapter in this epistle or letter to the Hebrews. We are told how to go on with His people. We are told how to conduct ourselves with His people.

In the passage we are looking at today, John returns to see what happens -up there- which he learns about in a vision. It is clear that the things he sees happen in order-the seventh trumpet is blown after the sixth. Rev 11-14 declares- The second woe is past. Behold, the third woe is coming quickly.-

Today we come to chapter 13 where we are told how to behave ourselves among all whom Christ has redeemed. We might call this chapter- 'Rules of Conduct for Pilgrims Who are Going to God's House in Glory.' Today, we will look at the first thing that is said about this conduct. It sums up all the rest.

This afternoon, I want to look at five things we can learn from Revelation 11-7-14. First, learn that you must finish the work that God has given you to do. Second, learn how important it is for us and our people to receive the testimony that God gives us. A third thing we learn from our text is the identity of the one God often uses to take away His witness from us, from our churches and from our nations. A fourth thing our text shows us is that there are times when it looks as though the church and her witness have been defeated. We are taught, or reminded, that the Lord will always have the last word.
