I contend that the ruler was referring to the people that are over the Hebrews in the day, who were also Jews, (exemplified by Nicodemus) and NOT the Romans OR the pastor, as 1ofthechosen has professed.

OK thanks, thats what I was thinking and I am aware that you are aware your opinion contends against the long held belief of the contrary held in most churches.
So is it your belief that
Heb 13:7 when referring to "them that have rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God" that the "them" in this verse is speaking of secular rulers? or do you believe the context is different in this verse than in verses 17 and 24?
