JESUS IS NOT ONLY OUR SAVIOR, BUT HE IS TO BE OUR LORD….
CHAPTER 2 VERSES 5-18… We are carrying on with the thought and warning of there being no escape (Hebrews 2:1-3) from loss and punishment for the believing Christ follower who then carelessly does not heed the commands of Christ and thereby “drifts” past this “great” salvation. The greater salvation being a reference to privilege and responsibility from that wrought through Moses; where Angels spoke in authoritative representation unto Moses. (Read Hebrews 2:2, Acts 7:35-38, Exodus 3:2, Deuteronomy 33:2, Psalm 68:17) Which should be comparatively seen, as Paul’s argument goes, in accordance with its inherent inferiority. For this greater salvation is superior in Deliverance, Message and Messenger. It being directly intermediated by The Lord Himself and His Apostles “…spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him.…” (Hebrews 1:2, 2:3)

Hebrews 2:4 “….God also (referring back to Moses) bearing them (Christ & His Apostles) witness, both with signs and wonders, and different miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit.…” God validated the word given to Moses through Angels with marvelous signs and wonders accompanying that salvation (Acts 7:36). Paul continues to add to his overall argument of the superiority of this great salvation, by bringing to the Hebrew Christians’ attention that here too, as in the past, God did likewise validate it. Nothing is lacking in confirmation of this New Covenant greater salvation. And because of the greater Messenger and Message, there is therefore the much greater consequence of shunning the Word now being spoken.

Scriptures attest to the involvement of Angels in man’s salvation plan throughout all Dispensations, starting with the failure of Man to take his appointed dominion (Genesis 1:28, 3:24). The points Paul now makes are: 1) that Angels, although superior and with authority now, will have no inheritance, nor have dominion in the world to come. (See Revelation 4:10 where the 24 elders/angels lay down their crowns/authority.) 2) For God, since before Man’s making, intended that Man would rule over all His Creation.

THE COMING WORLD
VERSE 5 …“For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.” The word “For….” here refers back to the last verse of chapter one and is the general sense of 2:1-4 “Are they [angels] not all ministering spirits sent forth to serve, for the sake of those who are to obtain salvation?” [Hebrews 1:14] What salvation? The “great salvation” in the world to come… That is to say resurrection inheritance as priests of God and of Christ in the future 1000 year reign of the Son of Man at His Return in His future heavenly Kingdom associated with this World. (Revelation 20:4-6) This is when the words of verse 8 will be fulfilled: “Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet.” Man shall rule and administer then in the world to come. Unlike how it is presently, (as shown in verse 8b: “But now we see not yet all things put under him….”) as Satan and his angels now rule, and where now un-fallen Angels continue to be God’s appointed governors to carry out His Will.

So it is in this present World’s state, essentially unchanged since the Gospel Message, that the Father lovingly calls for a glorious heavenly people to join the Son of Man, the Lord Jesus, in His future heavenly Kingdom. He will take His rightful place as King in this, His rightful Dominion, after having completely satisfied the Father’s Will in the obtaining of eternal glory-filled sons. And so it is now that Angels shall maintain their position of ministering spirits to facilitate that holy call, until it is complete. Then the sons of God, the joint heirs with Christ, shall be caught up and resurrected out from Hades, the intermediate place of all dead, and join Jesus in the heavenly realm associated with this World. They will rule as priests and kings in the beginning of the World to come, the Angels then being no longer in authority. (In this present world, Christians are to SERVE, NOT RULE as opposed to as in the world to come. Furthermore, it seems even Angels will be subject to these resurrected worthies. Read 1st Corinthians 6:3: “Know ye not that we shall judge angels?”) That the Angel Elders confess the superiority of Jesus is seen clearly in Revelation 5:8-10, where the Angels joyously declare His propitiating death as...
