Letter to the Hebrews Volume 4

God the Father's Supreme and Final Revelation to Humanity Part 4

Hebrews 1:6 And again, when He bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, He saith, And let all the angels of God worship Him.  KJV Note: MKJV = Modern King James Version

Our Lord, Master, and Savior Jesus Christ as we have firmly documented from the Scripture always was and there was never a time that He did not exist, therefore, He is not a newly created being (like angels or cherubim) as some have so sadly mistaken, misquoted, and misunderstood the Word of God (i.e. the Mormons), but He is God come down to earth manifested in the flesh just as the Apostle Paul declared to Brother Timothy when he wrote these words to him in his first letter, "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached among nations, believed on in the world, and received up into glory." (1 Timothy 3:16) (MKJV), so then we understand why the writer of Hebrews writes these words here in verse 6 declaring unto all converted Jews and likewise to we Gentiles this same truth, "And again, when He bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, He saith, And let all the angels of God worship Him." (Hebrews 1:6) (KJV). The little English phrase 'He bringeth in' is translated by the Greek word eisagō meaning to introduce (literally or figuratively): - bring into, lead into.

In other words, God introduced Himself to Humanity in the form of a Man in order to save man and show man who He was and is and what He does and to show mankind what they can be joined or united with Him, for as it is written of our Lord Jesus Christ concerning His 331/2 years on the earth these words, "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and He went about doing good, and healing all those who were oppressed by the Devil, for God was with Him." (Acts 10:38) (MKJV). Adam's sin made him be marred and all of the rest of humanity that came from him was also marred with sin as the Prophet Jeremiah declared with these words to the Nation Israel speaking of the people, "Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing." (Jeremiah 13:7) (KJV). This is the condition of every sinner (profitable for nothing) in the world before coming to our Lord Jesus Christ for redemption, restoration, and resurrection life that He alone gives. However, every man or woman 'in Christ' is re-made, re-newed, and re-born into newness of life, for Christ does for and to every sinner that He receives what the same Prophet Jeremiah said with these words to the Nation Israel, "And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter: so he made it again another vessel, as seemed good to the potter to make it." (Jeremiah 18:4) (KJV). The marred vessel (every sinner) is made into a new vessel by 'The Potter' our Lord Jesus Christ.

When the writer of Hebrews says, 'and let all the angels of God worship Him', he refers to the incarnation or the manifestation of God in the flesh at Christ birth in Bethlehem as it is written or documented for us by Dr. Luke, "And in the same country there were shepherds living in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came on them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them. And they were grievously afraid. And the angel said to them, Do not fear. For behold, I give to you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For to you is born today, in the city of David, a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this is a sign to you. You will find the babe wrapped, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it happened as the angels departed from them into Heaven, the shepherds said to one another, Indeed, let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing which has happened, which the Lord made known to us." (Luke 2:8-15) (MKJV). Here is what Matthew Henry had to say about this verse, "That is, when He is brought into this lower world, at His nativity, let the angels attend and honour Him; or when He is brought into the world above, at His ascension, to enter upon His mediatorial kingdom, or when He shall bring Him again into the world, to judge the world, then let the highest creatures worship Him. God will not suffer an angel to continue in heaven who will not be in subjection to Christ, and pay adoration to Him; and He will at last make the fallen angels and wicked men to confess His divine power and authority and to fall before Him. Those who would not have Him to reign must then be brought forth and slain before Him. The proof of this is taken out of Psalm 97:7, Worship Him, all you gods, that is, 'All you that are superior to men, own yourselves to be inferior to Christ in nature and power.'"

If you do not know the Lord Jesus Christ and His amazing healing power, pray this from your heart to the Lord Jesus Christ (you speaking directly to Him), Dear Lord Jesus, I confess to You that I am a sinner and I need Your forgiveness. I believe You shed Your Blood and died for my sins. I believe that You rose from the dead proving that You alone are God. I repent of my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I ask You Dear Lord Jesus to come into my heart and take control of my life. I want You to be my Lord, Savior, and my God. Amen...

Sincerely in Christ,
