544 - Les Feldick Bible Study - Lesson 1 Part 4 Book 46 - Hebrews 1:1-10 - Part 2

https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 1 * PART 4 * BOOK 46 Hebrews 1:1-10 - Part 2 Hebrews 1:3 It’s a symbolic thing more than anything else that His work of redemption and work of intercession was now finished. Now let’s see what Paul says about it back in Ephesians chapter 1, and verse 20. And again, I’m going to come up to verse 19 because of that word "power." Every time you see that word "power," you just stop and read it slowly and digest it. Ephesians 1:19 "And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power." That power is released when we believe. Ephesians 1:20 What is it but that it was the power of God when he raised Christ from the dead? It was finished! It’s all finished. There will never be a name that will match the name of Christ, God’s Son. God the Son having the finished the work of redemption, having set down at the Father’s right hand: Hebrews 1:4 Even the two crowning angels of Michael and Gabriel can’t come close to the power and majesty of the Son, Jesus the Christ. Now verse 5 and here is the argument. Hebrews 1:5a "For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee?…." We covered that in the last program, that the only begotten Son of God is a reference to His resurrection. The only begotten Son of God is His resurrection. Now verse 5. Hebrews 1:5b Now again, that does not imply that God the Father was here first and then came God the Son and then the Spirit. Now verse 6. Hebrews 1:6 "And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world (the Son) he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him." Hebrews 1:7 "And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire." The question comes periodically, do we believe in angels? Angels haven’t appeared in that form since almost the apostolic days and we’re not supposed to be looking for angels. Come back with me to Colossians chapter 2 and verse 18. Now let’s look at Colossians chapter 2:18. Where Paul writes: "Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels,…" Don’t get enraptured with angels. Colossians 2:18 My, angels are part and parcel of the Old Testament. We know Jacob certainly saw the angels. We know the three angels came to Abraham’s tent. We know the shepherds at the birth of Christ saw many angels. Peter had an angel release him from prison, and those are valid accounts, but when we get to the Church Age, Paul never teaches us anything concerning the activity of angels or demons. Now back to Hebrews chapter 1, and verse 8. Hebrews 1:8a God, is for ever and ever:…" I’ll never understand how people can reject Christ the Son as God. Hebrews 18b "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom." Revelation 19:16 Hebrews 1:8 "But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom." Now verse 9. Hebrews 1:9a "Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity;…" Now listen that’s the mind of God, even for us under Grace. Don’t ever think for a minute that God winks at iniquity, because God hates it! God hated it in the Old Testament economy. Hebrews 1:9 "Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God (again the Triune God) even thy God, (in which the Son is a part) hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows." Now verse 10. Hebrews 1:10 "And thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:" I mean, he was a good man, God had blessed him, he had wisdom, but I think he was proud, and I think this is why God was dealing with him. The reason I’ve come to this conclusion is the statements in Job 38. Job 38:1-2 "Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, (now remember when we have the word "LORD" speaking in the Old Testament, it’s God the Son, but in His Old Testament role, as He spoke to the prophets. But here He’s speaking to Job.) Now some would say, "Well, He’s referring to Job’s friends." So God says: Job 38:3 See, God’s not talking to Job’s friends, but rather He’s talking to Job. Now read on. Job 38:4a Could Job answer? Job 38:4b "…declare if thou hast understanding." Job 38:5a "Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest?…" Now verse 7 Job 38:7-8 "When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? (I can hear the Lord say, ‘Where were you Job? Job 38:22a What do you suppose God was talking about? "Did you know that Job?" Now coming back to Hebrews in our closing seconds we realize that God the Son was the One who had all this knowledge that Job knew nothing of. Now let’s read 10 again. Hebrews 1:10-11a #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
