Hebrews 1:2

Hebrews 1:2

God’s Supreme Revelation

1 God, who¹ at various times and ^ain various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,

2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the¹ worlds;

3 ^awho being the brightness of His glory and the express ^bimage of His person, and ^cupholding all things by the word of His power, ^dwhen He had by Himself purged our sins, ^esat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

4 having become so much better than the angels, as ^aHe has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

The Son Exalted Above Angels

5 For to which of the angels did He ever say:
^a“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”? And again:
^b“I will be to Him a Father,
And He shall be to Me a Son”?

John Wesley's Notes

<< Hebrews 1:1

Hebrews 1:3 >>

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 before all worlds. His glory reaches from everlasting to everlasting, though God spake by him to us only "in these last days."
