(Heb 2:2) “For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;” God Word, once delivered by an angel, brought forth judgment when not believed or was ignored (Zacharias, father of John Baptist). God never changes.

(Heb 2:2) “For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward;” What made the word of angels “stedfast” (unchangeble)?” Answer: the Words were not their own, but exactly what God wanted said: (Isa_55:11) “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”

(Heb 2:1) “Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.” I’ve had some say to me, “What Jesus said doesn’t apply to us, but to Israel.” This verse says, “You need to hear and hold on to what Jesus said.” All of the Word of God applies to me in some way. Hold on to it!

(Heb 2:1) “Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.” How honored and yet humbled should we be that God would inhabit a body in order to communicate our urgent need of salvation. And oh, then…..to pay for those sins on an old rugged cross. It should move us to desire to turn our backs and anything and everything in order to embrace Him and to serve Him.

(Heb 2:1) “Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.” The discourse and personal knowledge of sin before a holy God, eternal punishment, the sending of God’s Son including His death and resurrection, are not information upon a mountain of information. No, it is the most important knowledge one will ever be confronted with. It is not simply to be heeded, but to earnestly, dead seriously heeded into action.

(Heb 1:14) “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” When a person is saved, they are indwelt, sealed, with the Spirit of God (Eph 1:13-14). He, God the Spirit, is our protector. Personal supposition: Knowing who will be saved, an angel is assigned to watch over us until born an “heir of salvation”, so the text reads “…for them who SHALL BE heirs of salvation.”

(Heb 1:10) “ And, Thou, Lord,…hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: (11) They shall perish;…they all shall wax old… (12) And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.” Though the Second Person of the Godhead now has a physical body, it is no longer subject to sickness, corruption, and death. His body cannot die nor change: (Heb_13:8) “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”

(Heb 1:13) “But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?” This verse destroys the false doctrine of Jesus once being an angel who volunteered to become a man. This chapter teaches God became man, the Father still referring to Him as the Lord God. If He had been an angel, He would still be referred to as an angel. Becoming a man does not make an angel, God.

(Heb 1:10) “ And, Thou, Lord,…hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: (11) They shall perish;…they all shall wax old as doth a garment; (12) And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.” God the Father speaking to Jesus reveals the Son’ authority and power; the Lord shall fold them as easily as one folds a garment. As in the beginning the world was brought forth with a “Word”, so in the end a “Word” is all that is needed.

(Heb 1:10) “And, Thou, Lord, …hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: (Heb 1:11) They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;” Context: God is speaking directly to His Son. The world and all that is in it is physical. They shall end, but God the Son will have no end – “but Thou remainest”! The Maker, was made a physical body to participate, endure and enjoy life among the created. He than gave His life to save them. He arose a physical, eternal being, the Lord Jesus Christ. This world will end, but Christ and His redeemed will live forever!
