This device often starts with the expression “let us.” I call it simply a “let us exhortation.” To explain, when a writer used this grammatical device, he / she simply enjoined somebody to take part with him / her in an action. He / she could exhort one to take part and help start an action that hadn’t yet started. Or he / she could exhort somebody to take part an action that had started already: particularly an action that was in progress and in which the writer or spokesman was engaged. In Hebrews, both kinds were utilized by our writer. Let us thus come resolutely unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. He’s currently coming to this throne to get some things. 2nd, he is going there to find grace to help. 3rd, he is going there to get the above 2 things in a timely fashion, when the need appears. He’s already coming confidently into the throne room of The Lord God himself. He’s coming into that amazing room to get some things. We should also join in with him in this continuing action. The blessings he sought in the throne room were guaranteed him in the Abrahamic covenant. This Abrahamic guarantee included healing, wealth and family well being as well as deliverance.

The blessings he had are also ours by grafting. Gentile Christians are included in this same Abrahamic covenant right together with the Jews. Subsequently, healing, wealth, family well being as well as deliverance belong to us also. For these reasons we will come into the throne room just as resolutely as the writer of Hebrews. Small wonder this writer used this religion building, Greek device to exhort us (we Gentile Christians are included by grafting) to enter into this same throne room right together with him.

We’ve got the same right to enter and get what we need when we need it. If your need is healing, wealth, family well being as well as your deliverance, go forward and enter the throne to get timely.
