Hebrews 12:25-27 ASV

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 12:18-29

Hebrews 12:18-Joel : . The theme of the epistle has been the contrast of the old and the new covenants, and this contrast is now summed up in a splendid closing passage. The first covenant was established on a “ mount that might be touched”— an earthly, material mountain [E. C. Selwyn, in JThS, xii. 134 , suggests pephepsalmenô , “ calcined.”— A. J. G.]— which was encircled with terrible manifestations of fire and darkness and storm. The voice in which the Law was proclaimed struck terror... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 12:25

Here the Spirit closely applieth his former arguments for their pursuit of holiness, especially that of Christ’s speaking by his blood to them; by caution, Hebrews 12:25-27; by counsel, Hebrews 12:28,Hebrews 12:29. See that ye refuse not him that speaketh: he introduceth this caution with: Look ye, or take ye heed; a term expressing the things said to be great and weighty, intimating that fear, solicitude, and watchfulness about this great and important concernment of their souls, Luke 12:15;... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 12:26

Whose voice then shook the earth: the sin and punishment of gospel despisers and rejecters, is aggravated by the Person concerned in both. It is that Jesus, the great Angel of the covenant, speaking now by his blood, whose voice at the delivery of the law on Mount Sinai, and selling Israel in a church state under that covenant dispensation, Exodus 20:1,Exodus 20:19; Deuteronomy 4:12; Deuteronomy 5:2,Deuteronomy 5:4,Deuteronomy 5:22, did shake the mount, Exodus 19:18; Psalms 68:7,Psalms 68:8;... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 12:27

The interpretation of the former matter in this verse, is introduced by reassuming: And this, Yet once more; as if he said: I told you that God promised, Yet once more, &c.; what he meaneth by it I now declare to you: this shaking of God intends not a small alteration, but a total removal and abolition of the Israelitish heaven and earth, forementioned, an alteration of their church, religion, and administration, and a total abrogating of them, because they are hand work, Hebrews 9:24. Such... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Hebrews 12:25-29

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESHebrews 12:29. Consuming fire.—Deuteronomy 4:24. Not intended as in any sense a description of God, but “an anthropomorphic way of expressing His hatred of apostasy and idolatry. The reference is made in order to show why we ought to serve God with holy reverence and fear.”MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Hebrews 12:25-29The Voices of God.—God has always found voices for the communication of His will to men. They always carry responsibility to those who hear... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 12:18-25

Hebrews 12:18-25 The Blessedness of the Christian Life. A Christian Jew is writing to Christian Jews, who stand in some danger of falling back to the religion they had abandoned. This writer is here, as every one sees, contrasting the two systems, the old and the new, the law and the Gospel, with a view to show which is indeed the thing he is showing all through his letter that the step from Moses to Christ had been in every respect a step forward and upward, that everything which they appeared... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 12:18-29

Hebrews 12:18-29 Mount Sinai and Mount Zion. In this passage are mentioned seven great and solemn heavenly realities. I. Mount Zion. Mount Sinai represents the law. It manifests the majesty of God above us as creatures, the wrath of God against us as sinners; it reveals to us God's judgment and our condemnation; it convinces us of our guilt and of our strengthlessness; it represents the state of fear and darkness, of distance and alienation from God. It is winter, without sunshine, without... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 12:25

Hebrews 12:25 Refusing God's Voice. I. We have here, first of all, the solemn possibility of refusal. It is possible for Christian people so to cherish wills and purposes which they know to be in diametrical and flagrant contradiction to the will and purpose of God, that obstinately they prefer to stick by their own desires, and, if it may be, to stifle the voice of God. II. Note the sleepless vigilance necessary to counteract the tendency to refusal. "See that ye refuse not." A warning finger... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 12:26-27

Hebrews 12:26-27 The Shaking of Sinai and Calvary. I. That voice of Sinai was a shaking of earthly things. How were nations dispossessed? How were thrones tumbled into the dust? How was the course of human history and human life changed or directed by that shaking of Sinai? And so with the shaking voice of Calvary. Earthly things were moved, and are still moved, by the power of that voice Divine. Sinai stands like a rock in the midst of a stream, and turns and separates the current. Calvary,... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 12:27

Hebrews 12:27 Things which cannot be shaken. In this remarkable verse the writer goes to the heart of the philosophy of religion and of history. He declares that through the ages runs one ever-increasing purpose, and this purpose is the will of God. I. It is said that when the King of Prussia visited the playing-fields of our Eton college he said, "Blessed is the land in which the old is ever mingled with the new, and the new ever mingled with the old." To cling to the old when the new demands... read more
