Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 10:37

For yet a very little while, he that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry.This is a partial quotation from Habakkuk 2:3 which reads, "For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry." The import of this exhortation is that whatever may seem to tarry, as viewed by people, it is not really so at all. God's will moves inexorably to the fulfillment of his eternal purpose. Delay,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 10:30

Hebrews 10:30. For we know him that hath said,— Namely, Moses: see Deuteronomy 32:35. It maybe inquired how this passage is here applied to those who profess themselves Christians, since in Deuteronomy it evidently relates to the idolatrous Gentile adversaries of Israel? The answer is easy; for, besides that such as apostatized from the Christian religion declared themselves to beavowed enemies to the institutions of God by Jesus Christ our Lord, (which were much more sacred and important than... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 10:31

Hebrews 10:31. It is a fearful thing, &c.— To fall into the hands of God, imports the being punished more immediately by him, 2Sa 24:14. 1Ch 21:13 though in those places God is spoken of as a God graciously correcting; whereas here he is considered as a righteous and angry Judge taking vengeance on his adversaries: and his being the living God, or the God who lives and can take vengeance for ever, may justlyadd to the consideration of the terribleness of his vengeance. See Matthew 10:28.... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 10:32

Hebrews 10:32. After ye were illuminated,— The Hebrews, to whom this epistle was addressed, were Christian converts, long since illuminated, (ch. Heb 5:12 Hebrews 6:4.) had suffered great persecutions, and seem not yet to have been free from them. What were the particular persecutions hinted at, we are not positively told; but the words former days imply a series of troubles which they had met with, and most probably very many insults from private persons. The words a great fight, contest, or... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 10:33

Hebrews 10:33. Whilst ye were made a gazing flock— While ye were openly exposed, as upon a theatre. St. Paul's expression, 1Co 4:9 is, "we are made θεατρον, a spectacle, as if we were exposed upon a theatre." Here it is θεατριζομενοι, openly exposed as upon a theatre: it is the same image expressed by the same word in effect,in both epistles; which, among many other unanswerable arguments, plainly points out the same inspired author of both. Dr. Heylin renders the next clause, one part of you... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 10:34

Hebrews 10:34. For ye had compassion of me, &c.— This verse alone, it appears to me, leaves no room to doubt that St. Paul was the author of this epistle. We may observe, that the apostle having mentioned two things, Heb 10:33 to set forth the sufferings of the Hebrews, proceeds in this verse to give a proof of both; but does not proceed in the order wherein he had before placed them. The first clause of Heb 10:34 relates to the latter in Heb 10:33 and in like manner the last clause in Heb... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 10:35

Hebrews 10:35. Cast not away therefore your confidence,— "Do not cast away, on the contrary, hold fast that liberty, that freedom of access (παρρησιαν ), which is granted you to enter into the holy of holies." See ch. Heb 3:6 and Heb 10:19 of this chapter. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 10:36

Hebrews 10:36. For ye have need of patience;— "You have need of steady perseverance, or of holding out to the end." See Revelation 17:18; Revelation 3:3; Revelation 3:11. read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 10:37

Hebrews 10:37. For yet a little while,— Some would render the Greek, which is emphatical,—a little, a very little time,— μικρον οσον οσον . It has been observed that 'Ο ερχομενος, the Comer, is a title given to the Messiah. See Mat 11:3 and Habakkuk 2:3; Habakkuk 2:20. The Hebrews were to wait with patience and perseverance, that they might receive the promise of an eternal inheritance. They were to hold out for some time, be it more or less; and he that is to come, will come, and will not... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 10:30

30. him—God, who enters no empty threats. Vengeance belongeth unto me—Greek, "To Me belongeth vengeance": exactly according with Paul's quotation, :-, of the same text. Lord shall judge his people—in grace, or else anger, according as each deserves: here, "judge," so as to punish the reprobate apostate; there, "judge," so as to interpose in behalf of, and save His people (Deuteronomy 32:36). read more
