Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 1:8

But of the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever; And the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of thy kingdom.This quotation is from Psalms 45:6 and relates to the Godhead of Christ.CHRIST AS GODThis verse has proved offensive to commentators who apparently resent such a blunt reference to Christ as God; but all kinds of learned arguments, predicated upon the Greek word, whether nominative or vocative, are not able to obscure the obvious and only meaning. Such would-be... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 1:9

Thou hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity; Therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.This is a continuation of the quotation from Psalms 45:6,7; and it cites the reasons for Christ's exaltation as being founded upon his love of righteousness and corresponding hatred of evil. Can one imagine an application of this Psalm to Solomon? (See under above verse.) The anointing seems not to refer to any formal or official ceremony of appointment for... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 1:9

Hebrews 1:9. Thou hast loved righteousness, &c.— This refers to that unparalleled instance of the love of moral rectitude, which Christ has given in becoming a sacrifice for sin; by his atonement doing infinitely more, than has ever been done by any other intelligent and rational agent, towards displaying his love of righteousness, and his hatred of iniquity. See Philippians 2:8-9. Instead of fellows, some read associates. The correspondent Hebrew word to the word Μετοχοι, says Parkhurst,... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 1:8

8. O God—the Greek has the article to mark emphasis (Psalms 45:6; Psalms 45:7). for ever . . . righteousness—Everlasting duration and righteousness go together (Psalms 45:2; Psalms 89:14). a sceptre of righteousness—literally, "a rod of rectitude," or "straightforwardness." The oldest manuscripts prefix "and" (compare Esther 4:11). read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 1:9

9. iniquity—"unnrighteousness." Some oldest manuscripts read, "lawlessness." therefore—because God loves righteousness and hates iniquity. God . . . thy God—JEROME, AUGUSTINE, and others translate Psalms 45:7, "O God, Thy God, hath anointed thee," whereby Christ is addressed as God. This is probably the true translation of the Hebrew there, and also of the Greek of Hebrews here; for it is likely the Son is addressed, "O God," as in Psalms 45:7- :. The anointing here meant is not that at His... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 1:5-14

B. The Superiority of God’s SON 1:5-14The writer proceeded to explain the exaltation of Jesus Christ to help his readers appreciate the fact that He fulfilled Old Testament prophecy concerning the Son of David. He did this so they would appreciate Him properly and not overemphasize the importance of angels. Angels were very important in Judaism primarily because multitudes of them assisted God in giving the Mosaic Law at Mount Sinai (cf. Deuteronomy 33:2; Psalms 68:17; Acts 7:53; Galatians... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Hebrews 1:8-9

By contrast, the Son’s ministry is to rule, not to serve as angels do. His throne is eternal, not ending, and immutable, not changing. This fifth quotation, from Psalms 45:6-7, describes the final triumph of David’s Son, the Messiah, who is also God. The Son is superior to angels also because He is God."This and the following quotation (Hebrews 1:10-12) are used to show that the Son is addressed in scripture both as God and as Lord. . . . The point of Hebrews 1:8 b, for the author of Hebrews,... read more

John Dummelow

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

The Supremacy of Christ. The OT. itself testifies to His supremacy as God’s Son over its own chief personages: (a) first the angels, through whom the Jews believed that creation had been effected and the Law given (Hebrews 1:4 to Hebrews 2:18).He is also superior (b) to Moses, the founder of the national religion, yet only a servant, whereas He is a Son (Hebrews 3:1-6), He is superior (c) to Joshua. He has rest to give, which Christians are warned not to miss by unfaith-fukiess, as Israel... read more
