Hebrews 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

Hebrews 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake.(one way was; another was).in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

All ways of communication come as an effect of the essence of Creator-God, an essence we call the Holy Spirit.

Hebrews 1:2 Has in these last days spoken unto us by his Son.(original does not have the pronoun.his; simply means 'spoken unto us 'by a son' or 'in a son', for we are all sons {Galatians 3:26-28}, but the one who became the Christ has the preeminence:.Colossians 1:17,18), whom he has appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds.

Original for 'the worlds' is 'a time for it'.

Hebrews 1:3 Who being the brightness of his.(the Father's:.John 4:24).glory and the express image of his person and upholding all things by the word of his power.(the 'word of His power' is the laws God set down so both we and the universe we are in, function as God designed them to:.Acts 17:28).when he had by himself.(notice it says 'by himself'; He worked; His works; not you working your ass off to root sin out, He's way more powerful).purged our sins.(this was one of His works).sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.(*);

Hebrews 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels.(and so us too!), as he has by inheritance.(by inheritance {Galatians 5:21}, not by works).obtained a more excellent name than they.

Hebrews 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, You are my Son.('You are my son'; as it applies to Emmanuel, so also to us who are living souls; how and why?), this day have I begotten you? And again, I will be to him a Father and he shall be to me a Son?

This prognostication was prophesied hundreds of years before, in.Psalms 2:7, the prophecy is about Emmanuel being born of a virgin and begotten of the Creator-Father.

Hebrews 1:6 And again, when he brings in the first begotten into the world, he said, And let all the angels of God worship him.

Hebrews 1:7 And of the angels he said, Who makes his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire.

Comprised with.Barnes Notes: The object of the apostle.Paul in this passage is to show that the angels serve God in a ministerial capacity, verse 14 below. Verse 7 here is from.Psalms 104:4.

Hebrews 1:9 You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, even your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.

Hebrews 1:9 You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity.(the ways of righteousness {one of the high consciousness qualities} are the ways of love, like the other higher consciousness attributes, righteousness also comes under the umbrella of love and that's what God is); therefore God, even your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above.(Revelation 1:6; Matthew 25:34).your fellows.

Quoted from the Old Testament in Psalms 45:7.

Hebrews 1:10 And, you, Lord, in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth and the heavens are the works of thine hands.

Hebrews 1:11.They will perish.(the heavens and the Earth in the previous verse); but you remain and they all will wax old as does a garment;

Hebrews 1:13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

Hebrews 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

Hebrews 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for.(original 'for the sake of'; that is sent forth to help those whom we care and pray for).them who shall.(original for 'shall be' is 'to take care' and 'to be about'; that is, the angels assist us who care about salvation; we are heirs because we care about salvation and the spiritual things the Creator has revealed to us through prayer, meditation, study and contemplation).be heirs of salvation?

Hebrews 2:1 Therefore we ought to give the more earnest.heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.

Hebrews 2:2 For if the word spoken by angels was stedfast and every transgression and disobedience received a just recompence of reward.

Hebrews 2:3 How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord and was confirmed.(2Peter 1:19).unto us by them that heard him?

Hebrews 2:4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders and with divers.(many different).miracles and gifts.(original for 'gifts' is 'divisions' {?}).of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will.

Hebrews 2:5 For unto the angels has he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

That's the world rolling our now as the evil is being rolled up.

Hebrews 2:6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man.(or just why is man here?), that you are mindful of him? Or the son of man, that you visit him.(or, have your attention upon him)?

And where is this certain place where this was said?.Psalms 8:4-6.

Hebrews 2:7 You made him a little lower than the angels. You crowned him with glory and honour and did set him over the works of your hands.

1Corinthians 2:9; 6:3; Psalms 8:4-6; John 10:34.

And though the rewards for each of us are still to be handed out, when was the purpose set for it all?.2Timothy 1:9.

Hebrews 2:8 You have put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now.we see not yet all things put under him.

Hebrews 2:8 You.(speaking of the Creator-Father).have put all things in subjection under his.(Christ's).feet.(but, what really is Christ?). For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now.we see.(or, when we look at the world, we don't yet see this, because it's a kingdom unfolding from within those in Christ).not yet all things.(word 'things' not in original; simply means 'all':.Ephesians 1:23).put under him.

Hebrews 2:9 But we see Emmanuel, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death.(did Emmanuel have to die?), crowned with glory and honour, that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man..

To redeem them, Christ had to take on the nature of man and suffered the experience of death, so that we wouldn't have to. See Death subject.

Hebrews 2:10 For it became him whom are all things and by whom are all things in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Hebrews 2:10 For it became him.(God), for.(original of word 'for' is 'by', 'through').whom are all things and by.(original for 'by' is same as word 'for'; meaning the Creator-Father is the originator of all and that all even since the original creation, came through Him becoming the man who became Emmanuel the Christ:.1Timothy 2:5).whom are all things.(Hebrews 1:2).in bringing many sons unto glory, to make.(or as the original says 'make perfect' and intended 'to become', that is, through what He went through He became the complete {Hebrews 7:25} and perfectly qualified person).the captain of their salvation (Emmanuel who is now the Christ) perfect.(?).through sufferings.

Word translated 'sufferings' here into English means pain or distress, referring to His crucifixion, His sufferings. He willingly went through it for us so we wouldn't have to:.1Peter 2:21; 3:18; 4:1; Titus 2:14; Hebrews 9:24; 10:20); 1John 3:16; compare word 'suffering' in 1Peter 5:10.

Hebrews 2:11 For both he that sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all of one; for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren.

Hebrews 2:12 Saying, I will declare thy name.(God the Father's name, what God is).unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

Hebrews 2:12 Saying.(the verse is talking about what Emmanuel was 'saying', was feeling in His heart and this was typical of how David, about a thousand years before also felt; Hebrews 2:12 is from a psalm of David:.Psalms 22:22; not known to David way back then, that his heart and words in Psalms 22 were a prophecy of the circumstances surrounding Emmanuel's crucifixion), I will declare thy name.(God the Father's name, what God is).unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.

Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.

Hebrews 2:14.Forasmuch then as the.(words 'as the', not in original).children are.(word 'are', not in original).partakers of flesh and blood.(the verse is simply saying that Emmanuel was a child like any human flesh and blood child), he also himself likewise took part of the same that through death.(Emmanuel's purpose however, was different from other children in that He came to die for all humanity {2Corinthians 5:14,15} so that sin would no longer count against us and so that humanity would not have to experience death, but humanity's belief pumped by the dark side covers this truth until humanity sees the true purpose of life and wants it, because Creator-God will never override a person's beliefs).he.(Emmanuel who became the resurrected Christ).might.(word 'might' not in original).destroy.(original 'make inactive as a result of', 'to cause to cease', 'to ensure something has no more effect', 'rendered idle').him that had.(and still has for those in the regular consciousness).the power of death, that is, the devil.

Belief in death is belief in the dark side that has the power of death. In Christ is the power of eternal life. The power of death includes those deceitful things that can take you down the road toward death. Raise up your beliefs away from the low consciousness pathway of death; this documentary movie will help,.The Grand Self.

In Christ, there is no death because you are in Him and the Father, one with them now.(*), away from that which you were previously held:.Romans 7:5,6. That's the message that got the early churches fired up:.John 12:19; Acts 19:23.

Hebrews 2:15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.(bondage of their self-imposed world).

Hebrews 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels, but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

The nature of Abraham would be  humanity in high consciousness:

Hebrews 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren.(God in Christ became a human being:.Colossians 1:18), that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.

Hebrews 2:18 For in that he himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

Hebrews 2:18 For in that he himself has suffered.(original is 'been affected', 'undergone').being tempted.(original 'tried'; the Creator doesn't tempt anyone), he is able to succour.(help).them that are tempted.(original 'a trial', 'an experience', 'to have a trial of a thing', 'beyond', 'on the other side'; in other words, 'tempted' would mean, something tending to pull you away from your basis in Christ {John 15:5} and this to strengthen character because you'll have something to work on to build spiritual strength as you live in this pressure cooker on Earth, but you have help:.Matthew 11:28-30; Ephesians 2:10.
