Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 9:27

And as it is appointed unto men once to die: the proof of the necessity of Christ’s suffering death but once, is introduced in this verse by the conjunction And. It was according to God’s decreed and published statute of men’s but once dying; for God the Supreme Lord, Governor, and Judge of them, set, constituted, and appointed by an unalterable and irrevocable decree, as Lawgiver, and sentence, as Judge, to all of the sinful human race, the corrupt seed of apostate Adam, their grand... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Hebrews 9:28

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many: ουτως και is an illative connection between the antecedent Hebrews 9:27, and this consequent; As it was appointed to men once to die, so it was appointed to Christ once to offer himself. God’s statute determineth both of these; Christ the High Priest, opposed to men, Hebrews 9:27, having died once as a sacrifice for sins, and offered his blood to God to expiate them, bearing their punishment which God laid on him, Isaiah 53:6; and so took... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Hebrews 9:23-28

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESHebrews 9:23. Patterns.—Copies, outlines, earthly representations. These.—Blood-sheddings; sacrifices of beasts. Heavenly things.—Spiritual things; things of conscience and will; the spiritual realities of sin against God and broken relations with Him. Better sacrifices.—Spiritual as contrasted with material. The argument of the writer is that Christ’s sacrifice must be better, because it is the Divine Man’s surrendered will; and that is the very highest, sublimest... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 9:24-28

Hebrews 9:24-28 The Threefold Manifestation of the Redeemer. I. The Redeemer's first appearance in the world was His Incarnation in the fulness of time as a member of the human race, to endure the death appointed to sinners, and to obtain for us eternal redemption. II. The Ascension entrance into the presence of God was the glorious end and consummation of the Redeemer's atoning appearance on earth. There is a certain change in the word now employed by the writer that suggests a boundless... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Hebrews 9:27

Hebrews 9:27 I. It is appointed unto man once to die, but after that they are still men. No affection, no principle of human nature, is lost. The form of man is not lost. Before death, men are covered with the opaque earth-form, and therefore they cannot be judged. Death removes the earthly mask, and then they can be truly judged. II. These two appearances of man correspond with the two appearances of Christ, the representative Man of the race. As Christ inherits to eternity what He acquired in... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Hebrews 9:1-28

Hebrews chapter 9.In the eighth chapter of the book of Hebrews, he makes mention of the prophecy in Jeremiah where God said that in those days He was going to make a new covenant with the people, not like the old covenant which was written on the tables of stone. He was going to write His law on the fleshly tablets of their hearts. Now, in the declaration that God is going to make this new covenant, it means that the first covenant would be set aside in order that He might establish the new... read more
