The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 2:5-10

The dignity of human nature shows that the Incarnation was not degrading to the Godhead. The apostle proceeds with his argument broken off at end of the first chapter. The first chapter deals with the Deity of Christ; the second with his humanity; thus the Epistle is based on the fact of the dual nature of our Lord. Having spoken of the Godhead of Christ, he has to meet the objection which presented itself with great force to the Hebrews. Why should this glorious Being stoop to the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 2:5

For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection - In this verse the apostle returns to the subject which he had been discussing in Hebrews 1:1-14 - the superiority of the Messiah to the angels. From that subject he had been diverted Hebrews 2:1-4, by showing them what must be the consequences of defection from Christianity, and the danger of neglecting it. Having shown that, he now proceeds with the discussion, and shows that an honor had been conferred on the Lord Jesus which had never been... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 2:5

Hebrews 2:5 . For, &c. This verse contains a proof of the third: the greater the salvation is, and the more glorious the Lord whom we despise, the greater will be our punishment. Unto the angels hath he (God) not put in subjection the world to come That is, as most commentators have understood the clause, the dispensation of the Messiah; which, being to succeed the Mosaic, was usually styled by the Jews, The world to come; although it is still, in a great measure, to come:... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 2:5-18

Christ’s humanity and suffering (2:5-18)Jews considered that human beings were inferior to angels. They therefore wondered how Jesus Christ could be superior to angels when in fact he was a man.The writer points out that this human status of inferiority to angels is only temporary. God’s original purpose was that human beings should rule over all things, but because of sin they lost this authority and are themselves in need of salvation (5-8). Jesus Christ, in order to save them, took their... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 2:5

For not unto angels did he subject the world to come, whereof we speak. But one hath somewhere testified, saying, What is man that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man that thou visitest him? Thou crownedest him with glory and honor, And didst set him over the works of thy hands.Although the great theme continues to be the superiority of Christ, at this point the problem of Christ's sufferings begins to come into view. As Lenski expressed it, "With Hebrews 2:5 humiliation begins, the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 2:5

Hebrews 2:5. For unto the angels— "Angels, as I told you, are only ministering spirits; and though the law was given by them, yet in the present dispensation they have nothing to do in dispensing the gospel: for it is the Son of God, the Lord of all things, to whom is reserved the sole dominion over, and direction of the present dispensation; and who is the giver of that salvation of which we speak, and not angels, to whom we are not subjected." read more

5. For—confirming the assertion, Hebrews 2:2; Hebrews 2:3, that the new covenant was spoken by One higher than the mediators of the old covenant, namely, angels. Translate in the Greek order, to bring out the proper emphasis, "Not the angels hath He," c. the world to come—implying, He has subjected to angels the existing world, the Old Testament dispensation (then still partly existing as to its framework), Hebrews 2:2, the political kingdom of the earth (Daniel 4:13 Daniel 10:13; Daniel 10:20;... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 2:5

"The world to come" refers to the inhabited earth under Jesus Christ’s reign (during the Millennium and from then on; cf. Hebrews 1:8-9; Hebrews 1:11-13). Some branches of Judaism believed Michael and his angels would rule over it. [Note: Zane C. Hodges, "Hebrews," in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: New Testament, p. 783.] The angels administer the present world (Deuteronomy 32:8; Daniel 10:20-21; Daniel 12:1), but the Son will administer the world to come."This will occur at His second advent... read more

D. The Humiliation and Glory of God’s SON 2:5-9Hebrews 2:5-18 present eight reasons for the incarnation of the Son: to fulfill God’s purpose for man (Hebrews 2:5-9 a), to taste death for all (Hebrews 2:9 b), and to bring many sons to glory (Hebrews 2:10-13). He also came to destroy the devil (Hebrews 2:14), to deliver those in bondage (Hebrews 2:15), to become a priest for men (Hebrews 2:16-17 a), to make propitiation for sins (Hebrews 2:17 b), and to provide help for those tested (Hebrews... read more
