https://lesfeldickbiblestudy.com Through the Bible with Les Feldick LESSON 2 * PART 2 * BOOK 46 The Son’s Glorious Creation - Part 2 Hebrews 1:11 – 2:3 Now the average individual on the planet probably never thinks about that. It is moving closer and closer to the time when it will finally be exchanged for something totally new. Now let’s back that up with some Scripture. Hebrews 1:11 "They shall perish; (all the things God has created) but thou (the Creator) remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;" My, what a beautiful illustration. Now verse 12, and using that same word: garment, or a vesture or piece of clothing: Hebrews 1:12 "And as a vesture shalt thou (the Creator) fold them up, and they shall be changed: (I think a clearer word there would be exchanged. Isaiah 51:6 "Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, (same language) and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished." Now let’s come back to Psalms 102 for a moment, because I know a lot of times we read these Psalms and yet we don’t read them, and here’s another few verses that I would say most people, if they’ve read it, have missed one of the major points. Psalms 102:21-23 When the people are gathered together and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD. How old was Christ when His life was ended? Psalms 102:24 "…I said, O my God, (see that’s why Christ in the flesh and refers to the Father as His God. In verse 25, God the Son is still addressing the Father from His position on earth and says: Psalms 102:25 "Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands." Remember the Psalmist is speaking of the work of creation and says: Psalms 102:26-27 "They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: ye, all of them wax old like a garment; (isn’t it amazing how the Scripture just repeats itself? God wants us to understand that this old world isn’t going to last forever. Because there isn’t a corner of this universe that hasn’t been defiled by that old devil, Satan. He’s defiled it all, he’s been in the presence of God in heaven, you know that. Now verse 10. II Peter 3:10 In His thinking it’s all in one successive time. Verse 11. II Peter 3:11a Now reading on. II Peter 3:11b-12 12. Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, (when eternity will be ushered in) wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, (see there’s twice we’ve had the word dissolved in two verses.) and the elements (that make up matter) shall melt with fervent heat?" Now verse 13, and see it’s not a hopeless case. II Peter 3:13 "Nevertheless we, (as believers) according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." Let’s go to chapter 20 first of all, and drop in at verse 11. Now verse 11, as we’re ready to usher in eternity: Revelation 20:11 They’ve disappeared. Yeah there’s hope, now look at Revelation 21, and verse 1. Revelation 21:1a "And I saw a new heaven and a new earth:…" This new heaven and new earth, I think will be undefiled and perfect. Revelation 21:1b "…for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away;…" God’s holiness is evident everywhere. 2. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." Now that verse doesn’t call the new Jerusalem the bride, but as a bride. Am I right? So if you think heaven is going to be crowded, you can forget that. Heaven is going to be a place of intense activity. Now let’s come back to Hebrews again, to chapter 1 and verse 12. Hebrews 1:12a "And as a vesture (His creation) shall fold them up, and they shall be changed:…" (or exchanged for new heavens and a new earth) Even though God has let the universe run, for however long it’s been here, whether it’s billions or thousands, that’s irreverent, but the day is coming, when it’s all going to disappear - but God remains. God is still going to be in control of everything. In fact, let’s take a look at the last chapter of Hebrews for a moment, and I’d like to start with verse 5, but the verse I really want is verse 8. Hebrews 13:5a "Let your conversation (or your manner of living) be without covetousness;…" Now do you remember what Paul said about covetousness? Hebrews 13:5-8 6. So that we may boldly say, (God the Son) The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. Now for the short time we have left, let’s come on back to Hebrews chapter 1. So let’s go on into verse 13. Now remember we’re showing throughout all these verses how that God the Son is above the angelic host. Hebrews 1:13 #LesFeldick #BibleStudy #Bible
