Devotion (The Trumpeter):
Paul wrote the book of Hebrews

2 Thessalonians 3:17-18NIV (copied)

 I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand, which is the distinguishing mark in all my letters. This is how I write. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

Throughout the years, the church has been divided on who wrote the book of Hebrews and has been divided over it for years. Some say it is Paul, others think it may be Apollos, Timothy, Luke or another writer.

Those who doubt it being Paul have their reason that Hebrews is not typical of the Pauline communication as used in his other epistles

The charismatic and pentencostal preachers believe it is Paul because of what Prophet Kenneth Hagin said. When Kenneth Hagin was alive, he shared a vision he had of Jesus who told him that Paul wrote the book of Hebrews.

This has been their only evidence to point to the fact that Paul wrote Hebrews but none has shown from the word of God the authorship of Paul as regards Hebrews like in his other epistles

Two months ago, the Lord shewed me from the Bible that indeed and in truth, it is Paul who wrote the book of Hebrews. Therefore, I am also mandated to share with the body of Christ.

The clue is in a statement that Paul made at the latter end of  his second epistle to the church at Thessalonica.

He said,

“I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand, which is the distinguishing mark in all my letters. This is how I write. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all…. 2 Thessalonians 3:17-18NIV”

Paul was about to  end his epistle to the church at Thessalonica with a final greeting but makes a very profound statement that this final greeting that I am going to make is what distingushes all my epistles from that of others, it is his signature greeting. What is this greeting?

“The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all..”. Paul will always end his epistles with “ the grace of God be with you”. You don’t find this with Peter, John, James and the other writers

Now when you observe all the epistles, which we know to have been written by Paul, you will find this final signature greeting.

Paul says, I end all my epistles with this greeting, “the grace of God be with you”

“I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand, which is the distinguishing mark in all my letters. This is how I write. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all….”

“The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you……1 Corinthians 16:23KJV”

“ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. 2 Corinthians 13:14KJV”

“And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen…….Romans 16:20KJV”

“Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity…….Ephesians 6:24KJV”

You will find this signature final greeting in all the other epistles by Paul including the book of Titus, Galatians, his epistles to Timothy and off course to the Thessalonians.

Now when you observe Hebrews, you find this same final greeting, a proof that Paul wrote Hebrews. The other writers normally ends with Peace be with you and not “ Grace be with you”

“Grace be with you all. Amen…Hebrews 13:25KJV”

This is to prove to the church that indeed Paul wrote Hebrews and that Prophet Kenneth Hagin was a true prophet and was speaking the truth when he said that the Lord Jesus told him that it was Paul who wrote Hebrews

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen”

God bless you!
