HEBREWS CHAPTER TWO VS. 5-9 (USING KING JAMES STUDY TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING)
Heb 2:5  For not unto angels did he subject the world to come, whereof we speak. 
Heb 2:6  But one hath somewhere testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? Or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 
Heb 2:7  Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; Thou crownedst him with glory and honor, And didst set him over the works of thy hands: 
Heb 2:8  Thou didst put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he subjected all things unto him, he left nothing that is not subject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him. 
Heb 2:9  But we behold him who hath been made a little lower than the angels, even Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that by the grace of God he should taste of death for every man. 

2:5-9   Main Point: Jesus was like us, human, lower than the angels…so he could die for us. Now he is honored and in his glory.


3. What is the “world to come” that is spoken of in verse 5?
Context of “the last days” has been established previously. The fulfillment of scripture and law, punctuated with eh destruction of Jerusalem.

Additional:
Is there a contradiction in verse 8? Why would David say all things are put under the subjection of man, and the writer say “we see NOT yet all things subjected to him”?
(2 differing focus points) David’s focus is on the natural world. The writer’s focus is on mankind’s eternal (spiritual) existence.

Comparative/Contrast:
Subjection: 5293 to subordinate; reflexively to obey:
Suffering: 3804: something undergone, that is, hardship or pain
The power is found in the act of subjection to death…Why? (Read On)

HEBREWS CHAPTER SIX VS 13-20 (USING KING JAMES STUDY TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING) Heb 6:13   For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,  Heb 6:14   Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.  Heb 6:15   And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.  Heb 6:16   For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.  Heb 6:17   Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:  Heb 6:18   That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:  Heb 6:19   Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast,...

HEBREWS CHAPTER TWELVE VS 25-29 (USING KJ TEXT, STUDY BOOK WILL REFERENCE A DIFFERENT VERSION FOR READING) Heb 12:25   See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth , much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven :  Heb 12:26   Whose voice then shook the earth : but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven .  Heb 12:27   And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken , as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.  Heb 12:28   Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved , let us have grace , whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:  Heb 12:29   For our God is a consuming fire.  Main Point: The ending is much like 10:31, that signifies a terrifying scenario of ...

HEBREWS CHAPTER TWO VS. 1-4 Heb 2:1   Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things that were heard , lest haply we drift away from them .  Heb 2:2   For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast , and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompense of reward;  Heb 2:3   how shall we escape , if we neglect so great a salvation ? which having at the first been spoken through the Lord , was confirmed unto us by them that heard ;  Heb 2:4   God also bearing witness with them , both by signs and wonders, and by manifold powers, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to his own will .  2:1-4  Main point: If this is from God, and Jesus is God you’d better pay attention to the offer of salvation. If you ignore it, how will you escape (judgment implied)? Additional Notes: Chapter one relates the importance (power) of the speaker – establishes authority. This chapter continues the...
