John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 1:10

Verse 10 10.And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning, etc. This testimony at first sight may seem to be unfitly applied to Christ, especially in a doubtful matter, such as is here handled; for the subject in dispute is not concerning the glory of God, but what may be fitly applied to Christ. Now, there is not in this passage any mention made of Christ, but the majesty of God alone is set forth. I indeed allow that Christ is not named in any part of the Psalm; but it is yet plain that he is so pointed... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 1:13

Verse 13 13.But to whom of the angels, etc. He again by another testimony extols the excellency of Christ, that it might hence be evident how much he is above the angels. The passage is taken from Psalms 110:1, and it cannot be explained of any but of Christ. For as it was not lawful for kings to touch the priesthood, as is testified by the leprosy of Uzziah; and as it appears that neither David, nor any other of his successors in the kingdom, was ordained a priest, it follows, that a new... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 1:4-13

Christ exalted above the angels. I. CONSIDER THE ANGELIC DIGNITY . The word "angel" as employed here to be taken in a very wide sense, as "angel" primarily denotes office and service rather than nature. Jesus himself, looked at from a certain point of view, was an angel, a messenger, an evangelist. God can make a messenger, as we are reminded in this passage, from the winds and the flame of fire: e.g. the burning bush was a messenger to Moses. But doubtless there is also a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 1:4-14

Christ greater than the angels. The Jews used to boast that their Law had been given at Sinai by the instrumentality of angels; and they concluded from this that the Mosaic dispensation would continue as long as the world itself. But the apostle asserts here that the Lord Jesus, the Mediator of the new covenant, is immeasurably greater than the angels; and he supports his assertion with abundant evidence from the Hebrew Scriptures. Hebrews 1:4 supplies us with the key to this whole... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 1:4-14

The greatness of the angels revealing the greatness of the Lord. Our ideas with regard to the angels are mostly vague, or poetic, or formal, never evoking holy thought or inspiring praise, or breathing on our soul an hour's calm, or strengthening us to strike a blow at sin. We think there is nothing practical about the doctrine of angels, and so we pass it by. We have Christ, we say; we do not need the angels; they who have the king overlook the courtiers. Yet a considerable portion of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 1:10-12

And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning , etc. The bearing of this quotation (from Psalms 102:25-27 ) on the argument in hand is not at first sight obvious; since, in the psalm, the address is plainly to God, without any mention of, or apparent reference to, the Son. The psalm is entitled, "A prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD ." It seems likely, from its contents, to have been written by some suffering saint during the Babylonian... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 1:10-12

The Son and the universe. "And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation," etc. The main subject of the writer is still the same—the superiority of the Son to the angels; and he here adduces further proofs of his superiority by setting forth the relations of the Son to the universe, in words which he quotes from Psalms 102:25-27 . I. THE SON IS THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE . "Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth, and the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 1:10-12

These verses affirm the glory of Christ in his creative power, and in the unchangeableness of his nature. The quotation from Psalms 102:1-28 . is cited with fearless confidence as belonging to him "who was God," and was "with God," and without whom "was not anything made that was made." This truth, addressed to Christian Jews by a Jewish writer, is the most conclusive proof that it was the work of the Holy Spirit to raise their minds, so jealous for the honor of Jehovah, to an... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 1:13

But to which of the angels said he (properly, hath he said ) at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? A final and crowning quotation is thus adduced, in the form in which the first quotation referring to the SON ( Hebrews 1:5 ) had been introduced, to complete the view of his superiority to the angels. The quota-lion is from Psalms 110:1-7 ., the reference of which to the Messiah is settled beyond controversy to Christian believers, not only by... read more
