Those who had first met in the Portico of Solomon had become spread out through their world by the time the "Letter to the Hebrews had been written".

The Palestinian Jews and "Gentile God Fearers" had suffered greatly. Firstly at the hands of the Temple and then during the war that had destroyed the Temple and greatly added to the "Dispersion", the Jews scattered throughout the Empire.

I know that it is easy to lose the focus that trying to keep IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT to the forefront of my mind entails.

It was no easier then for those, some of whom had even seen Jesus, the crucifixion and Resurrection and listened to the Galilean Apostles and St Paul.

In those years of disappointment at the still unfulfilled promise of the "Second Coming", Faith Hope and Love could only be maintained by human endurance supported by each person's sincere commitment to keeping each heart open to the Holy Spirit, IAMFATHERSONHOLYSPIRIT to become one of those who "have faith and preserve their souls".

It is exactly the same for us today. And so is the alternative!
