Never, No, Never

There is great force in the way the statement of Heb. 13:5 is made in the original text.
"Himself has said, No; never will I leave thee; never, no, never will I forsake thee." Observe how emphatic it is! Himself has said, to thee the individual, not to you, merely in a mass; and then the repetition of the negatives, "No; never" - "never, no, never." Clearly, He would have us to know that there is one thought which neither has nor ever can have any place in His mind - that -of forgetting His people down here.
"NO; NEVER will I leave thee; NEVER, NO, NEVER WILL I forsake thee," is the Lord's banner for His saint - a banner that floats over every circumstance.
