Isaiah 43 and 44 continue in the same vein as the preceding chapters. God repeats his love for Israel. He affirms that they are His chosen people. He continues to offer them forgiveness. He reminds them that they gods our powerless and cannot help. God lets the people know that Cyrus will be the one who will rebuild Jerusalem and the temple.

Hebrews 6 encourages the readers to remember the foundational teachings and not fall back into old teachings that are no longer true. So many of the Jewish Christians wanted to fall back into the old ways of circumcision and sacrifice. They forgot the Christ fulfilled all of that. The writer is having to go over things that they should already know and accept. He accuses those who go back to the old teachings of crucifying Christ all over again. He exhorts them to move forward in faith.
