Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Hebrews 12:18-29

Here the apostle goes on to engage the professing Hebrews to perseverance in their Christian course and conflict, and not to relapse again into Judaism. This he does by showing them how much the state of the gospel church differs from that of the Jewish church, and how much it resembles the state of the church in heaven, and on both accounts demands and deserves our diligence, patience, and perseverance in Christianity. I. He shows how much the gospel church differs from the Jewish church, and... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Hebrews 12:25-29

12:25-29 See that you do not refuse to listen to his voice; for if they who refused to listen to the one who brought the oracles of God upon earth did not escape, how much more shall we not escape if we turn away from him who speaks from Heaven? Then his voice shook the earth but now the voice of the promise is: "Still once more I will shake not only the earth but heaven also." That phrase "still once more" signifies the removal of the things that are shaken, because they are merely created... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 12:25

See that ye refuse not him that speaketh ,.... Jesus, the Mediator of the new covenant, whose blood speaks better things than Abel, or than his blood and sacrifice: he was the speaker in the council and covenant of grace, that spoke for the elect; in the creation of all things out of nothing, that said, and it was done; in giving the law to the Israelites, in the wilderness, for he is the angel which spake to Moses in Mount Sinai, he spoke to God for the Old Testament saints, and was the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 12:26

Whose voice then shook the earth ,.... That is, at the giving of the law on Mount Sinai: Christ was then present; his voice was then heard; which was either the voice of thunder, or the voice of the trumpet, or rather the voice of words: this shook the earth, Sinai, and the land about it, and the people on it; which made them quake and tremble, even Moses himself; see Exodus 19:18 but now he hath promised, saying in Haggai 2:6 yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 12:27

And this word yet once more ,.... Or as it is in Haggai 2:6 "yet once it is a little while"; which suggests, that as something had been done already, so in a very little time, and at once, something very marvellous and surprising would be effected: and it signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made ; which some understand of what will be done at Christ's coming to judgment; as the passing away of the heavens and the earth, which are things that... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 12:28

Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved ,.... Not the kingdom of glory; eternal glory is a kingdom, and it is an immovable one; and is a free gift of God, and may be said to be now received; God's people are called unto it, and are made meet for it, and have a right unto it, and have it in faith and hope, and in Christ their head and representative: but the kingdom of grace, under the Gospel dispensation, is meant: there are several things in this dispensation which are called... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Hebrews 12:29

For our God is a consuming fire. Either God personally considered, God in the person of Christ; so the Shechinah, with the Jews, is called a consuming fire F14 Tzeror Hammor, fol. 21. 4. . Christ is truly God, and he is our God and Lord; and though he is full of grace and mercy, yet he will appear in great wrath to his enemies, who will not have him to reign over them: or rather God essentially considered; whose God he is, and in what sense, and how he comes to be so; see Gill on ... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 12:25

See - Βλεπετε· Take heed, that ye refuse not him - the Lord Jesus, the mediator of the new covenant, who now speaketh from heaven, by his Gospel, to the Jews and to the Gentiles, having in his incarnation come down from God. Him that spake on earth - Moses, who spoke on the part of God to the Hebrews, every transgression of whose word received a just recompense of reward, none being permitted to escape punishment; consequently, if ye turn away from Christ, who speaks to you from... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 12:26

Whose voice then shook the earth - Namely, at the giving of the law on Mount Sinai; and from this it seems that it was the voice of Jesus that then shook the earth, and that it was he who came down on the mount. But others refer this simply to God the Father giving the law. Not the earth only, but also heaven - Probably referring to the approaching destruction of Jerusalem, and the total abolition of the political and ecclesiastical constitution of the Jews; the one being signified by... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 12:27

The removing of those things that are shaken - The whole of the Jewish polity, which had been in a shaken state from the time that Judea had fallen under the power of the Romans. As of things that are made - That is, subjects intended to last only for a time. God never designed that the Jewish religion should become general, nor be permanent. Those things which cannot be shaken - The whole Gospel system, which cannot be moved by the power of man. May remain - Be permanent; God... read more
