Just want to share my thoughts:
Heb 10:25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
I think doctrinally, Hebrews 10:25 would be something like this:
"ourselves" - primarily Hebrews (Jews)
"the day" - day of the Lord (Isa 2:12; 13:6,9; Jer 46:10; Eze 13:5; 30:3; Joe 1:15; 2:1,11,31; 3:14; Am 5:18,20; Ob 1:15; Zep 1:7,14; Zec 14:1; Mal 4:5; Ac 2:20; 1Co 5:5; 2Co 1:14; 1Th 5:2; 2Pe 3:10); the last day (Ne 8:18; Joh 6:39-40,44,54; 7:37; 11:24; 12:48)
"as the manner of some is" - those "who draw back", did not "hold fast" to the end, and wavered, as well as those who failed to "endure to the end" (Mt. 24:13) and "abide" in Christ (Jn. 15)
On the other hand, it's good practical application to the local church today, that we exhort and visit one another, and remind them not forsake the assembling of ourselves together in fellowship and worship (as the manner of some who quit serving the Lord), as we see Sunday (our agreed upon "day") approaching.
