Redeemed Humanity Versus the Angels, Spirit Filled Podcast, Bible StudyThis is the sixth class on the book of Hebrews. This Bible class was taught at the Pilot Point Church in Pilot Point Texas. This podcast ends two of us the greatest chapters in the Bible.

The following is the outline of the class.

Jesus is greater than the Angels

Chapter 1:4-2:18

Comparing Jesus with the angels

Jesus

  • Only begotten Son
    • Direct lineage to God
    • Worship Him
    • Sits on the throne
    • God the father calls Him God

Angels

  • They’re not
    • They never
    • Never worshipped
    • They serve
    • Ministering spirits

Keep this in mind

  • Not only did Jesus become flesh
    • Not only did Jesus live in the flesh
    • Not only  die  in  the flesh
    • But  He was raised in the flesh
    • He ascended  in the flesh-He is  still  a man, He kept  His humanity

 Outline for chapter 2:5-18
Another problem associated with angels

  • In the first chapter the writer emphasizes the Son’s deity now, he emphasizes  Jesus humanity to complete the picture of why the Son is greater than the angels.
    • Not only God but man and He can bridge a gap that the angelic host could not

5It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. 6But there is a place where someone has testified: “What is mankind that you are mindful of them, a son of man that you care for him? 7You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor 8 and put everything under their feet.”  In putting everything under them, God left nothing that is not subject to them. Yet at present, e do not see everything subject to them. 9But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. 10In bringing many sons and daughters to glory,

Hebrews 2 (NKJV)

5It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. 6But there is a place where someone has testified: “What is mankind that you are mindful of them, a son of man that you care for him? 7You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor 8 and put everything under their feet.

The Jews spoke of 3 worlds

  1. The world that was = the world before Mt Sinai
    2. The world that is = as a Jewish nation
    3. The world to come = when the Messiah comes

Hebrews 2 (NKJV)

5It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. 6But there is a place where someone has testified:  “What is mankind that you are mindful of them, a son of man that you care for him? 7You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor 8 and put everything under their feet.  In putting everything under them, God left nothing that is not subject to them. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them .9But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

Philippians 2

5Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, 10so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Romans 8 New (NIV)

16The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. 17Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. 23Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.

In putting everything under them, God left nothing that is not subject to them. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to them. 9But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. 10For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.

Suffering and death for God’s violated law

1 Corinthians 2:9

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

10In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered. 11Both the one who makes people holy and those who are made holy are of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. 12He says, “I will declare your name to my brothers and sisters; in the assembly I will sing your praises.” 13And again, “I will put my trust in him.” And again he says, “Here am I, and the children God has given me.”

To defeat the most powerful angel Lucifer

14Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

Romans 8 (NIV)

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. 3For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

 To defeat the most powerful angel Lucifer

14Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

16For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. 17For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.

  • 16For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham’s descendants. • 17For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.

Relating to the 2 different offices of Jesus

LORD

  • Work
    • Obedience
    • Service
    • Always relating to His Lordship

HIGH PRIEST

  • Sin
    • Forgiveness
    • Grace
    • That’s where we relate to His Priesthood

17For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people. 18Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

  • He rules the universe and angels and will send one to help me
    • I have one of my kind raised from the dead in a glorified body assured me I can be in heaven with him • I know he understands and identifies with me
    • He has rendered powerless my enemy Satan
    • He’s freed me from the fear of death so I don’t have to live in that bondage
    • He’s a faithful and merciful High Priest always ready to serve my every need
    • He has entered into heaven waiting for the day that the father says it’s time to go get our people

That’s the message of the first two chapters of Hebrew

Hebrews 1:2-3

  1. He appointed heir of all things

    • God has used angels to arrange blessings for humans.
    • God has used angels to deliver us from harm.
    • God has used angels to answer prayer
    • God will use angels to escort me to Heaven when I die.

Comparing Jesus with the angels 

Jesus:
• Only  begotten Son
• Direct lineage to God
• Worship Him
• Sits on the throne
• God the father calls Him God

Angels:
• They’re not
• They never
• Never worshipped
• They serve
• Ministering spirits

Hebrews 2

  • 1 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. 2For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, 3how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, 4God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?

Drift also Leak Out

  • Acts 13:52…. filled with joy
    • Ephesians 5:18… filled with the Holy Spirit
    • 2 Corinthians 7:4…filled with comfort
    • Matthew 5:6… Hunger and thirst
    • Romans 15… filled with knowledge

Hebrews 2 (NKJV)

  • 1 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. 2For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, 3how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, 4God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?

Hebrews 10  (NIV)

  • 28Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?

Hebrews 2 (NKJV)

  • 1 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away. 2For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, 3how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him, 4God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?

SIDE STUDY ON THE DESTINY OF CHRISTIANS

James 2: 26 for as the body without the spirit is dead,

Philippians 1:21-24 21For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.22But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me, and I do not know which to choose.
23But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better; 24yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.

To depart and be with Christ for that is very much better.

YOUR RESURRECTED GLORIFIED HUMAN BODY – God’s extreme makeover.

Resurrection of mortal body

Romans 8:10-11 If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Philippians 3:20-21 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

Resurrection

Mar 12:24 Jesus replied, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?
1Cor 15:12 Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

The scope of our redemption demands it.

  1. The Biblical view of man. (Gen. 1:12, 18 &25)
    2. Death – the enemy of God. (I Cor. 15:26)
    3. Salvation means, literally, to be made whole.
    Heb.10:39   Salvation of soul.
    1Cor. 5:5    Salvation of Spirit.
    Rom 8:23   The redemption of our bodies.

Our destiny demands it.

  1. God became a man with a body. (John1:1, 14)
    2. Jesus’ destiny is our destiny. (Rom. 8:17) 1Cr 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become the firstfruits of them that slept.
    3. He promised we would never die. (John 11:25-26)

Our new environment demands it.
1. “New heavens and new earth” (II Pet. 3:13 – Heb. 1:12)
2. Powerful unimaginable changes. The ultimate makeover (I Cor. 15:37)

1Cr 15:35-38 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come? “You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies; and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own

Incredible Change

Our new environment demands it.

Powerful unimaginable changes. Actual changes

no digestive system – (I Cor. 6:13)
no sexual relationship – (Mt. 22:30)
no aging – (I Cor. 15)
glorious – (I Cor. 15)
powerful – no handicaps – (I Cor. 15)
perfectly fitted for our new home – (I Cor. 15)

I John 3: 1-3 1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure

2 CORINTHIANS 5:1-4  Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands. Meanwhile, we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

2 CORINTHIANS 4:16-17 Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,

Romans 8:17-18  17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

IT WILL HAPPEN AT THE 2ND COMING OF CHRIST

There will be 3 great signs. (I Thess. 4:14-18)
1. The last great trumpet.
2. The shout of Michael.
3. The appearance of Jesus with all the spirits of the saved who have died. Then the resurrection of dead Christian bodies & then the changing of all our bodies. All in the blink of an eye

Hebrews 2 (NKJV)

  • 5It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking. 6But there is a place where someone has testified:
    • “What is mankind that you are mindful of them, a son of man that you care for him? 7You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor 8 and put everything under their feet.

The Jews spoke of 3 worlds

  1. The world that was = the world before Mt Sinai
    2. The world that is = as the Jewish nation
    3. The world to come = when the Messiah comes

“What is mankind that you are mindful of them, a son of man that you care for him? 7You made them a little lower than the angels; you crowned them with glory and honor 8 and put everything under their feet.

9But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.

Jesus versus the Angels – Spirit Filled Podcast Episode 69


This is the fourth class on the book of Hebrews. This Bible class was taught at the Pilot Point Church in Pilot Point Texas.

The following is the outline of the class.

Jesus versus the Angels

Hebrews 1:2-3
1. He appointed heir of all things

2.He made the worlds

3.He is brightness of God’s  glory

4.The express image of God

5.Upholding all things by the word of his power

6.Purged our sins

7.Sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high

Jesus is greater than the Angels
chapter 1:4-2:18

SIDE STUDY ON ANGELS

ָאְלַמ The Hebrew word for Angel

ἄγγελος The Greek word for Angel
Old Testament:

messenger, representative

messenger

the theophanic angel
angel (111x), messenger (98x), ambassadors (4x), variant (1x).

New Testament:

a messenger, envoy, one who is sent, an angel, a messenger from God

angel (179x), messenger (7x).

Angels
God created angels before the earth‘s foundation

Job 38:4

“Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand.Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? Job On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?

Jude 6

And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day.

Ephesians 6:12-13

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

There are too many to count Hbr12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels.

Angels can not procreate or die Luke 20:36

Extremely powerful 2 Thess1:6-7, 2 Pet 2:11 …ThThinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presentlygive me more than twelve legions of angels? Matthew 26:53

One legion is 6,000 angels=72,000 angels

Isaiah 37:36 185,000 men in one night=1,110,000,000 men (that is, one billion, one hundred ten million men)

13,320,000,000 men (that is, thirteen billion, three hundred twenty million men)

They Have Super-Human Strength and Power (But Not Omnipotence) 

2 Peter 2:11 … yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.

Psalm 103:20 Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word.

1 Peter 1:12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.

Matthew 24:36 No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father

They Have Super-Human Wisdom (But Not All Wisdom)

1 Corinthians 4:9 For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like men condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to men.

Ephesians 3:10-11 His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Hbr 1:14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?

That’s why the angels rejoice when a sinner repents because we have now  an eternal relationship with angels

Some have entertained angels unaware

Heb 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares

  • God has used angels to carry messages from Himself to man. Communicate with us outside our five senses
  • God has used angels to arrange blessings for humans.
  • God has used angels to deliver us from harm.
  • God has used angels to answer prayer
  • God will use angels to escort me to Heaven when I die.

Old Testament:

messenger, representative

the theophanic angel
angel (111x), messenger (98x), ambassadors (4x), variant (1x).

New Testament:

a messenger, envoy, one who is sent, an angel, a messenger from God

angel (179x), messenger (7x).

Human messengers called Angels

Genesis 32 –Jacob

Luke 7:24 And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John…

Luke 9 : 51 And it came to pass, when the time was come that he should be received up, he sstedfastly sethis face to go to Jerusalem,

52 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him.

Old Testament:

messenger, representative

messenger

the theophanic angel = THE ANGEL OF THE LORD
angel (111x), messenger (98x), ambassadors (4x), variant (1x).

New Testament:

a messenger, envoy, one who is sent, an angel, a messenger from God

angel (179x), messenger (7x).

Acts 7:30–35
“And when forty years were expired, there appeared to him in the wilderness of mount Sinai an angel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bush. When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight: and as he drew near to behold it the voice of the Lord [Yahwehin Hebrew] came unto him, saying, I am the God [Elohimin Hebrew] of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.”

“Angel of the Theophany. This angel [MESSENGER ]is spoken of as ‘the angel of the Lord [Yahweh].’ The following passages contain references to this angel:

Genesis 16:7ff  the angel and Hagar
Genesis 18 Abraham intercedes with the angel for Sodom
Genesis 22:1ff  the angel interposes to prevent the sacrifice of Isaac
Genesis 24:7, 40 Abraham sends Eliezer and promises him the angels protection
Genesis 31:11ff the angel appearing to Jacob says, ‘I am the God [elohim] of Beth-el’
Genesis 32:24ff Jacob wrestles with the angel and says, ‘I have seen God [elohim] face to face’
Genesis 48:15ff Jacob speaks of God [elohim] and the angel as identical
Exodus 3
(cf. Acts 7:30ff)		 the angel appears to Moses in the burning bush
Exodus 13:21; 14:19
(cf. Numbers 20:16)		 God or the angel leads Israel out of Egypt
Exodus 23:20ff the people are commanded to obey the angel
Exodus 32:34 to 33:17
(cf. Isaiah 63:9)		 Moses pleads for the presence of God with His people
Joshua 5:13–62 the angel appears to Joshua
Judges 2:1–5 the angel speaks to the people
Judges 6:11ff the angel appears to Gideon 4
Case For A Theophany

The case for the angel of the LORD being a theophany, a temporary appearance of God in a SpSpiritody, is as follows:

  1. Identified With God

In some contexts, the angel of the LORD is identified with God.

  1. Power To Give Life

The angel of the LORD is said to have power to give life (Genesis 16:10). Only God has this power.

  1. All-Knowing

The quality of omniscience, or knowing everything, is attributed to the angel of the LORD (Genesis 16:13; Exodus 3:7).

  1. Judge The Earth

The angel of the LORD is called the “Judge of all the earth” (Genesis 18:25). This is a title that belongs to God alone.

  1. Forgive Sin

The Bible says that only God can forgive sin. I, I am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake, and I will not remember your sins (Isaiah 43:25). Yet the angel of the LORD had authority to forgive sins (Exodus 23:21).

  1. Receive Worship

Worshipbelongs to God and Him alone. Yet the angel of the LORD was worshipped by Moses and Joshua.

No man has seen or can see God

Exodus 33:19-21 (NKJV)Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” 20 But He said, “You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live.” 21 And the LORD said, “Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock.

1 Timothy 6:16 (NKJV)who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.

Old Testament:

messenger, representative

messenger

the theophanic angel =“THE ANGEL OF THE LORD” PRECARNATE JESUS IN A VISIBLE FORM
angel (111x), messenger (98x), ambassadors (4x), variant (1x).

New Testament:

a messenger, envoy, one who is sent, an angel, a messenger from God

angel (179x), messenger (7x).

Jesus is greater than  the  Angels  because:

1.He is the only divine begotten Son of God. 1:4-2:4

2.He became a human/GODMAN. 2:4-18

Acts 7 (NIV)

Was there ever a prophet your ancestors did not persecute?They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him—53 you who have received the law that was given through angels but have not obeyed it.

Mt. Sinai

Deuteronomy 33 :1-2(NASB) …“The LORD came from Sinai, And dawned on them from Seir; He shone forth from Mount Paran, And He came from the midst of ten thousand holy ones; At His right hand there was flashing lightning for them.

Psalm 68:17(KJV) The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: the Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.

7.98 million Jehovah’s Witnesses

15 million Mormons

1.6 billion Muslims

Accursed

Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any [man] preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed
Hebrews 1:4-5 4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs. 5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
He quotes 7 scripture from the OT to prove Jesus is greater than the Angels

1.Psalms 2:7
2.2 Samuel 7:14
3.Psalms 97:7
4.Psalms 104:4
5.Psalms 45:6-7
6.Psalms 102:25-27
7.Psalms 110:1

Isaiah 9 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Hebrews 1 6 And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.  7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
Angels are servants!
Hebrews 1 8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom. 9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning, hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands. 11 They shall perish, but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; 12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. 13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? 14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

Comparing Jesus with the angels

Jesus 

Only  begotten
Direct lineage to God
Worship Him
Sits on the throne
God the Father calls Him God

Angels

They’re not
They never
Never
They serve
Ministering spirits

JESUS greater than the angels!

GOD HAS SPOKEN-THE PROPHETS VS. JESUS – Spirit Filled Podcast Episode 67


This is the second class on the book of Hebrews. This Bible class was taught at the Pilot Point Church in Pilot Point Texas.

GOD HAS SPOKEN

The connection between old & new covenant

Hbr 1:1-2 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by [His] Son

-The Old Testament is inspired by God
The connection between old & new covenant is important because It goes contrary to all latter-day revelation
-The Old Testament revelation Was given to the Jews but was written for us! Rom 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Written for us!

Why was the Old Testament given to the Jews and written for us?

1.To strengthen our faith.
2.General Revelation VS. Special Revelation
3.To give us vital concepts.
4.To identify the true Messiah.

WRITTEN FOR US!

1.To strengthen our faith.
2.General revelation VS. Special revelation
3.To give us vital concepts (man could not be saved by keeping the law).
4.To identify the true Messiah.
5.To identify the true word of God.

The Jews were God’s  vehicle so that we could identify the proper Scriptures. – All Scripture was either written by a Jew or overseen by a Jew or collected by a Jew

ALL SCRIPTURE WAS WRITTEN BY A JEW OR OVERSEEN BY A JEW OR COLLECTED BY A JEW!!
The connection between old & new covenant

Hbr 1:1-2 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by [His] Son

2 Chronicles 36 (NASB) 15The LORD, the God of their fathers, sent word to them again and again by His messengers, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place; 16but they continually mocked the messengers of God,despised His words and scoffed at His prophets,until the wrath of the LORD arose against His people, until there was no remedy.

15The LORD, the God of their fathers, sent word to them again and again by His messengers, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place; 16but they continually mocked the messengers of God,despised His words and scoffed at His prophets,until the wrath of the LORD arose against His people, until there was no remedy.

1 Peter 1

10Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care,11trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christin them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow. 12It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven.Even angels long to look into these things.

Luke 24 (NASB)

25And He said to them,“O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 26Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?” 27Then beginningwithMoses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.

Hbr 1:1-2

God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by [His] Son

The Old Testament

1. Incomplete – information
1 Corinthians 2:9(NKJV)    But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

2. Progressive – contently added to
1 Peter 1
10Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spokeof the grace that was to come to you,searched intently and with the greatest care, 11trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christin them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow. 12It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you,when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to youby the Holy Spirit sent from heaven.
Even angels long to look into these things.

3. Fragmentary – at best
ISAIAH 28:9-10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little

In various ways – diverse manners   

1. How revealed
2. How delivered
3. Different kinds of interments

These last days

Hebrews 9: 26 But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Ephesians 1 : 9… according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, 10to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
1 Corinthians 10:11 Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.
Galatians 4: 4But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son,…
Ephesians 1: 10 with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him Son vs. the prophets
Hbr 1:1-2 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by [His] Son
2:3 how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at the first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard,

Son vs. the prophets

Hbr 1:1-2

God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by [His] Son 

Hbr 2:3 how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at the first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard,

Hbr 2:4 God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.
