Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Hebrews 1:2

Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;Whom he hath appointed heir of all things — After the name of Son, his inheritance is mentioned. God appointed him the heir long before he made the worlds, Ephesians 3:11; Proverbs 8:22, etc. The Son is the firstborn, born before all things: the heir is a term relating to the creation which followed, Hebrews 1:6.By whom he also made the worlds — Therefore the Son was... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Hebrews 1:3

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;Who sat down — The third of these glorious predicates, with which three other particulars are interwoven, which are mentioned likewise, and in the same order, Colossians 1:15,17,20.Who, being — The glory which he received in his exaltation at the right hand of the Father no angel... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 1:1-4

PART FIRST. THE ARGUMENT. I. TRANSCENDENCE OF THE SON AS GLORIOUS APOSTLE AND AS SUFFERING HIGH PRIEST OF THE NEW AGE, INTRODUCTIVELY PRESENTED, Hebrews 1:1 to Hebrews 2:18. 1. Transcendence of the Son as divine Apostle of our Age, Hebrews 1:1-4. WITH a most impressive grandeur does our author open upon his readers the full affirmation of the divine origination of the Son, preparatory to unfolding the true glory of his humiliation. If his Alexandrian audience glory in asserting the Son’s... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 1:2

2. These last days The English gives accurately the general sense of the peculiar phrase, επ ’ εσχατου των ημερων τουτων , the ultimatum or finality of these days. We take it that επ ’ εσχατου , at the finality, is the true antithesis to time past, or of old; and that of these… days defines the finality as consisting of these Messianic, in contrast to the old prophetic, days. So Delitzsch defines the phrase as signifying “for our author here, as for Peter, (1 Peter 1:20,)... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Hebrews 1:3

3. Brightness… glory The relation of the Father to the Son is indicated as that of an essential glory to a brightness, or forth-beaming radiation. Hence the Nicene Creed styles the Son, “Light of light,” ( φως εκ φωτος , literally, light out from light,) and pronounces the Father and Son to be of one substance, “consubstantial,” as light and light are one. Stuart asks if the sun and the rays proceeding from him are “consubstantial?” The reply is, that the body of the sun is... read more
