Hebrews 1 commentary

    1: By various portions and different modes THE GOD ^Yahweh [1] [who] spoke to [our] ancestors through the prophets[2] 2: has in these ^last days spoken to us by his [human Risen] Son who [in his humanity ^{Colossians 2:9} is] appointed heir of all things By whom also  [the] eons are made ^{Colossians 1:16-17} 3: [He] Who is the radiance of Glory and emblem of the same [Divine] substance ^{hypostasis [arrayed beside]} and upholding all things by the WORD of HIS ^Jesus’  power when HE had by himself purged our sins sat down on the right hand ^{as Mediator [in his perpetual humanity]} of the Majesty on high 4: [In his humanity] Being made so much better[3] than the angels as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. 5: For to which of the angels[4] said he at any time Thou art my Son this day have I begotten thee And again I will be to him a Father and he shall[5] be to me a Son 6: And again when he brings in the firstbegotten into the world he says And let all the angels of God worship him ^{Only God receives worship. The angels will worship no one but the ALMIGHTY. Jesus is Jehovah.} 7: And indeed toward the angels says Who makes his angels blasts and his officials flames of fire? 8: But to the Son he says Thy throne O God ^{[There is only ONE  God]} is for ever and ever A sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of your kingdom 9: you love justice and hate lawlessness therefore God even your God ^{[conversation within the Godhead]} hath anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows 10: And you LORD[6] ^YHWH in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth and the heavens are the works of your hands 11: They shall be destroyed but you continue and they shall all grow old as does a garment 12: And as a veil you shall fold them up and they shall be changed But you yet are the same ^{[Yesterday, today, and forever]} and your years shall not fail 13: But to which of the angels said he at any time Sit on my right hand until I make your enemies thy footstool 14: Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation

[1] The God [who spoke by the prophets] is…

Yahweh: Jesus is Yahweh [1 Timothy 3:6 God was manifest in the flesh, Acts 20:28 “God’s Church which he (God) purchased with his own blood]

Jehovah: Jesus is Jehovah [John 1:1 In the beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with God and the WORD  WAS GOD]

Adonay Elohiym: Jesus is Adonay Elohiym [John 20:28, And Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord (Adonay) and my God (Elohiym)]

ALL the fullness of the GODHEAD dwells in Jesus in PHYSICAL FORM [Colossians 2:9]

[2] The Greek words patrasin or patēr, depending on which text one reads, are both defined by Strong’s as the same word [G3962], and are usually translated as “father,” but not always. Depending on context, the words can refer to both parents or to ancestors in general. Therefore, it is encumbent upon the reader to determine context and which usage is most accurate in a verse or passage. In Hebrews 1:1, the word ancestor is most accurate, as the prophets did not speak only to the patriarchs [Abraham, Issac, Jacob] but to all of the people—both women and men.

[3] Jesus is made BETTER than the angels, not just a human with higher ranking than the angels but BETTER, because all of the fullness of the Godhead resides in Jesus in physical form. Jesus is not half-god and half-human [like the mythical Greek gods] but from the moment he entered the kosmos, and through-out eternity, he is fully God and fully human.

[4] Some teach that Jesus is Michael the archangel. Jesus is not an angel. “For to which of the angels did he say ‘Thou art my Son This day have I begotten thee?” The angels are all created beings, but the babe born of a virgin was begotten/conceived and born—not created. The man Christ Jesus is a genetic child of Mary and a genetic child of YAHWEH. Wouldn’t we love to see his DNA? !!!

[5] Verse five tells us that Jesus was not always the Son but rather became the Son when he entered the kosmos.

Psalm 2:6-7 “Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion I will declare the decree YAHWEH has said unto me Thou art my Son this day have I begotten thee.” The only way Eternal Sonship could be true, is if Psalm 2 is not a prophecy but rather speaks of a day in Heaven when Jesus was created. But Jesus is YAHWEH—the Creator—not one of his creations. Also, in eternity, there are no days. Days belong only to time, not to eternity. Hebrews chapter one declares that the entrance of THE WORD ^{John 1:1} into the kosmos is the fulfillment of Psalm chapter 2, and that entrance was when THE WORD became THE SON. The prophecy, written by David, was fulfilled on a day in time [not in eternity].

Recap: On a day in time—in the kosmos, not Heaven—THE WORD became the Son. The Sonship of Jesus derives—entirely—from his holy conception as a human. His sonship is incarnational and from his conception on, perpetual.
