I can't find a decent Greek expositor who says that the real meaning here in Hebrews 13.17 is a
"much different sense than “obey and submit.”"
James uses the same Greek word for "obey" in verse 3.3, "
Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us."
Sounds to be quite a compelling case to obey the rider of the horse. But perhaps, like Witness Lee, you don't find the book of James to be a trustworthy source.
