Hebrews 12:25

The One speaking probably refers to God. "Him who warned them on earth" probably refers to God when He spoke from Mt. Sinai. The contrast is not primarily between the persons who spoke but between the places from which God spoke (cf. Hebrews 12:26). Another view is that the contrast is between a human oracle of God (Moses) and the divine Voice (Christ). [Note: Moffatt, p. 220.] This contrast would have been especially impressive to Jewish Christians. The present warning came from God in heaven and dealt with failure to continue to cleave to His Son (cf. Hebrews 1:1-2; Hebrews 2:2-3).
