Of Whom the World was not Worthy

In these last verses of Hebrews, chapter 11, we see faith in the valley. Brother Shamblin gives us examples of the great heroes of faith being mocked, persecuted and in various trials and tribulations. While the world thought they were judging and eliminating these great heroes of faith, it was quite the opposite. God was removing these saints as a punishment to the world, because the world was not worthy of their presence. We should aspire to be so willing to walk by faith even if it means facing the same persecution these men faced.
