INTRODUCTION:
1. Turn with me in your Bibles to Heb. 1:5-14.
2. Last week we took a look at Heb. 1:1-4.
3. We saw first, In times of old Yahweh spoke in many ways:
a. In the past He spoke to prophets. (Heb. and GK prophets is someone who is
able to make Yahweh’s thoughts known through the Holy Spirit)
b. The reference to “times past” was a transition. (Meaning times different than
now, making a distinction between past and present)
c. And we also saw Yahweh spoke in different methods. (Moses burning bus,
Elijah still small voice, Isa. Vision of the temple, Hosea through prostitute
Wife, and in Am. Through a fruit basket)
4. Second, Now the Father has spoken to us through His Son:
a. The “last days” is a time set apart from “times of old”. (Many this age that
will end in the second coming of the Messiah)
b. The Father is still the one speaking. (This is important because we know the
same one is speaking, just different method if you will)
c. We saw this is John 15:15. (Yashua said He had given the disciple all that
He had heard from the Father)
d. The writer points out that Yashua is eternal and the Heir. (The word heir is
one established “Yashua” based on Sonship)
e. We saw in Heb. 12:23. (Yashua is the first born, shows sonship and He will
receive His allot portion, which is all things)
5. Third, Yashua is the exact impression of the Father:
a. He is the exact brightness or radiance. (We look at Isa. 6:1-4 Yahweh on the
throne in the temple, and Ez. 1:28 through a rainbow)
b. He is the express image of the Father. (Refers to a stamp on something that
is the exact image of the person)
c. And the passage spoke of His person. (Meaning the very essence, or Yashua
is the exact essence or the base of the character, who they are is the same)
d. Yashua taught this to His disciples. (John 14:9 He tells Phillip that if you
seen me you have seen the Father)
e. Yahsua sustain all things. (The GK for “word” is rhema which is different
from just a command, it is a living voice, He is actively involved in
sustaining things)
f. Then He set down on the right hand of the Father. (After washing us off, from
our sins, GK ceremonially clean, show also a finished work, and He is in a
place of honor and authority)
6. Next the writer begins to emphasis the superiority of Yashua over all things, or
All created things, even in the heavens.
7. Let’s read Heb. 1:5-14, Pray!
I. Yahshua is the Son. V5-6
A. In this passage we find David as a shadow picture of the Messiah.
1. The writer identifies the word “Son” with the Messiah;
a. Look at 2 Sam. 7:13-16. (The writer identifies the relationship between
the father and son here to be a picture of Himself and Yahsua)
b. Look at 1 Chron. 17:12-15. (Once again David is the spoken of but it is
only a picture of the Messiah and His rule over the Father’s house)
c. Look at Ps. 2:1-12. (One again this is a picture of the Messiah as Son and
ruler or in a position higher than any other)
2. This rings true throughout Messianic prophecy:
a. Look at Jere. 23:5-6. (This is coming from the Davidic line, or the
Kingship of the Messiah)
b. This also speaks the salvation of Israel. (Which can only be the Messiah,
because that is one of the jobs of the Messiah to save Israel.)
c. Look at Matt. 15:24. (He only came to the lost sheep of Israel, which is
the way to identify Himself as the Messiah)
3. We find this true in the New Gospels as well:
a. Look at Matt. 1:5-6, 16. (This becomes the fulfillment of prophecy given
for Messiah and Sonship of Yahshua through the line of David)
b. We even find Satan making this a point of contension. (Look at Matt.
4:3 during the time of testing in the desert)
c. By the writer pointing to the Sonship. (It is narrowed down to who
Yahshua is leaving no doubt)
II. He is the Son who sits on the divine throne. V7-9
A. Now we are going to get in on another aspect of Messiah.
1. The writer separates the Son from the angels:
a. Look at Ps. 104:1-4. (In this passage which is the one used, it speaks of
angels being created Heb. word aw-saw means to make)
b. The word “angel” (Heb. means messenger it can also mean prophet, as in
those that would declare or make known Yahweh’s purposes as in last
week)
c. The word “spirits” (In the Heb. is wind or breath and is ruach or the
term for Holy Spirit would be Ruach HaKodesh)
d. The word “minister” or “servant” (Heb. means to attend to, and also
means worshipper, so part of our worship is tied up in our service)
e. The word “flaming fire” (Heb. means to kindle or set ablaze the fire and
a reference to those that took care of the fire in the temple, or fire
for the burnt offering in the temple, so keep the fire stirring) Look at
2. But the Son is the one being served in the temple:
a. The writer uses Ps. 45:6-7. (And is telling not only of Yahshua’s Kingship
but His righteousness too)
b. His throne is an eternal throne. (Two Heb. words “forever and ever”
Means it has no vanishing point and is perpetual in nature)
b. The word “scepter”. (Heb. mean branch or stick or clan meaning tribe
in this case Judah)
c. This describes the righteous of His branch. (And speaks to the justice of
Kingdom He will rule, and He has an anointing above all)
3. Once again Yashua’s character is lifted up here:
a. He loves righteous. (Heb. that which is morally right but also means that
which is clean or pure)
b. He hates the wicked. (He is an enemy to the wicked, Heb. wicked is to be
wrong, remember in Ps. 1:16 we are told not to take advice from the
wicked or those already declared wrong)
c. The oil of gladness. (Heb. is a description of Him being consecrated
above anyone else, He is above all, and done so by the Father)
III. He is before the foundation of the world. V10-14
A. The writer establishes His eternal nature before time as well.
1. The writer uses Ps. 102:25-27:
a. In the beginning or KJV Of old. (Heb. word meaning face and before
time or your face was before time)
b. It is a different Heb. word from the Genesis 1:1. (Gen. 1:1 speaks to the
beginning of time, or when time started)
c. And this passage is speaking to the person. (Before time was, or before we
know time)
2. Now we see time start:
a. “You established the earth and the heavens. (Heb. for establish is establish
but also means to appoint or to INSTRUCT)
b. Remember, last week we talk about “rhema”. (His living voice, or His
instruction continually sustaining all things)
c. The writer teaches that which was created. (Will have an end to it
speaking of the creation we know today and it was planned that
way)
d. But You will remain the same forever. (Heb. means to stand and abide or
we could say “LIVE” forever with the understanding of Kingship)
3. Now the writer moves to Ps. 110:1:
a. This Ps. Was written by David himself. (But it is not about himself, and
writer of Heb. points this out)
b. David uses the word “Lord” in the English. (Heb. is Yeh-ho-vah meaning
self existent one, which is the God above all gods and no one brought
Him into existence)
c. But the second word “Lord” is different. (Heb. is Awdone and it means
sovereign, or controller of all things, my owner)
d. But notice, David calls him my Awdone. (Meaning one above David, and
is a reference to Yahshua or the Messiah, and Kingship shown by the
taken at the right hand of Yaw-ho-vah)
e. Notice, He will set there until Yah-ho-vah. (Makes the enemies of Awdone
His foot stool)
f. Foot stool is important. (Heb. means to stamp upon to put ones feet on)
e. This means to defeat. (And the victorious King would put the defeated
king on the ground before him and place His foot on the neck of the
defeated king) Look at Josh 10:24
