Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Hebrews 9:28

(28) So Christ was once offered.—The ordinary translation, dividing the verse into two similar portions, fails to show where the emphasis really lies. The two members of the verse correspond to each other, point by point, with remarkable distinctness; but the first is clearly subordinated to the second. “So the Christ. also, having been once offered that He might bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time apart from sin to them that wait for Him unto salvation.” It is important to notice... read more

On Modernising Christianity Hebrews 9:10 While in a very real sense Christianity was a new religion in the days of St Paul, in another, following his suggestion, it was a corrective, a revision and a modernisation of the old. The centuries have moved onward and our faith is no longer young. There are those among us who think that Christianity is now over-antiquated, that she is too old-fashioned, and that possibly there ought to be done for her what she in her youth did for the Jewish religion... read more

CHAPTER 9 1. The first tabernacle and its worship (Hebrews 9:1-10 ) 2. The blood and the perfect work accomplished (Hebrews 9:11-23 ) 3.

Geneva Study Bible - Hebrews 9:27

9:27 And as it is appointed unto men {r} once to die, but after this the judgment:(r) He speaks of the natural state and condition of man: For though Lazarus and certain others died twice, that was no usual thing, but extraordinary: and as for them that shall be changed, their changing is a kind of death. See Geneva "1 Corinthians 15:51" read more

Geneva Study Bible - Hebrews 9:28

9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of {s} many; {16} and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.(s) Thus the general promise is restrained to the elect only: and we have to seek the testimony of our election, not in the secret counsel of God, but in the effects that our faith works, and so we must climb up from the lowest step to the highest, there to find such comfort as is most certain, and shall never be moved.(16) Shortly by the... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 9:1-28

Chapters 9 and 10 form a wonderful climax in the orderly presentation of the truth in this epistle: If according to the new covenant, a man must be morally fitted for the presence of God by means of the new birth, as we have seen, yet the way into Gods presence, the holiest of all, must also be clearly made manifest. These chapters admirably and fully deal with this grand subject. And first, from verse 1 to 10, the service of the tabernacle is summarized for us, for its typical significance... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Hebrews 9:1-28

PRIESTHOOD OF CHRIST AND AARON CHRIST IS A PRIEST OF A BETTER COVENANT THAN AARON (Hebrews 8:0 ) Better not morally, but efficaciously, i.e., established on better promises (Hebrews 8:6 ), in the sense that they are written on the heart rather than tablets of stone (Hebrews 8:10 ); that they are universal in their application and not limited to a single people (Hebrews 8:11 ); and that they bring with them eternal forgiveness. CHRIST IS A PRIEST OF A BETTER TABERNACLE (Hebrews 9:1-14 )... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Hebrews 9:24-27

(24) For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: (25) Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; (26) For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. (27) And as it is... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Hebrews 9:28

REFLECTIONS Oh! the distinguishing mercy, to which, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Church is brought, in exchanging a worldly sanctuary, and carnal ordinances; for the open displays of grace, in the Person, work, blood-shedding, and righteousness of our adorable High Priest, who is the whole sum and substance of everything blessed; and having, by his own blood, obtained eternal redemption for us, is set down on the right hand of the Majesty on High. Precious Lord Jesus! thou art... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Hebrews 9:28

To exhaust the sins of many. That is, of all, according to the style of the Scriptures. When he came first, he took upon him the load of our sins; but at his second coming, at the end of the world, he will come in a quite different manner, not as laden with our sins, not after the similitude of a sinful man, not to redeem us, but with great power and majesty to judge all men. (Witham) --- To exhaust. That is, to empty or draw out to the very bottom, by a plentiful and perfect redemption.... read more
