Wells of Living Water Commentary - Hebrews 1:1-13

Seeing Christ in Hebrews Hebrews 1:1-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Book of Hebrews ever stands before us as a great Bible masterpiece on the glories of Christ. The 1st chapter, which we are using, for the introduction, demonstrates that Christ is, in at least seven stated points superior to angels. We need not marvel at this, inasmuch as the opening verses of Hebrews establish the Deity of our Lord, and Saviour Jesus Christ. In these verses, Christ is set forth as follows: 1. He is God's Son. ... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Hebrews 1:1-14

The Superiority of Christ to Angels Hebrews 1:1-14 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Jesus Christ was God in ages past; He was God, manifest in flesh; He is God in the ages to come. In His Deity, He is the same yesterday, today, and for ever. He was not less than God, in the humiliation of His incarnation: He is not more than God in the added glories of His exaltation. There are some who would teach that Jesus Christ, in eternities past, was no more than perfect angel; that in His earth life, He was... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 1:5-14

The Superiority of the Son to the Angels (Hebrews 1:5 to Hebrews 2:14 ) He Is Now Contrasted With The Angels, the Heavenly Beings and Intermediaries between God and the world (Hebrews 1:5-14). Having revealed the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ as ‘the Son’, the writer now goes on to contrast Him with all heavenly beings, although already having revealed Him as superior to the angels in His being stated by God to be ‘My Son’. He does this by means of seven quotations from the Scriptures.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 1:13

‘But of which of the angels has he said at any time, “You, sit on my right hand, Until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?” ’ It will be noted that this is the seventh quotation, a number seen as the number of divine perfection in all nations from the time when numbering was first invented. The sevenfold witness is thus seen as divinely decisive. This quote is taken from Psalms 110:1 and refers to God’s king being told by God to take His seat at God’s right hand while God makes His... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 1:5-14

Hebrews 1:5 to Hebrews 2:18 . The Son is Superior to the Angels.— For this theme the way has been prepared in the closing words of Hebrews 1:14. The section may possibly be directed against angel-worship, which in some churches, as we know from Colossians, was encroaching on the faith in Christ. More probably the writer’ s aim is simply to enforce the supremacy of Christ as compared with even the highest of created beings. In Hebrews 1:5-2 Chronicles : he collects a number of Scripture texts... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 1:13

But to which of the angels said he at any time? This introduceth the last demonstration of the gospel Minister’s pre-eminency for state, office, and name, above angels. The form is thus; He that is God’s fellow, and right-hand man, is more excellent, and hath a better name, than those who are only ministers to his saints. This is to be the state of Christ he proves here; for to none of the angels did Jehovah ever say this, he never gave them that honour by his word. It is an interrogatory... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Hebrews 1:5-14

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESHebrews 1:5. Angels.—Properly, any living being carrying out the Divine will is an angel, a messenger, a servant. But the word “angel” is precisely kept for such messengers as belonged to other than the earthly sphere. The angelophanies of the Old Testament were foreshadowings of the revelation in the “Man Christ Jesus.” Said He.—The interrogation is intended to be a strong negation. Begotten Thee.—Constituted Thee; but the term is designed to indicate the different... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 1:1-14

Hebrews 1:1 . God, who at sundry times and in divers manners, spake to the fathers. By the personal appearances of Christ, the Word of the Lord; by voices, by angels, by visions, by dreams, and by impulses of the Holy Ghost. In these forms we have received all the glorious doctrines of truth, and particular revelations, and that chiefly in times of ecclesiastical trouble. Hebrews 1:2 . Hath in these last days, those new and good days foretold by the prophet. Joel 2:28. That old men... read more

John Trapp

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Hebrews 1:13

13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Ver. 13. Sit on my right hand ] As mine equal in honour and power. It seems to be a metaphor from some king, who, having an only begotten, lets him in the throne as heir and successor to reign with him, and use right of dominion over all as partner in the empire. Thus David dealt by Solomon, Vespasian by Titus, and our Henry II by his eldest son Henry, whom he crowned while he... read more
