Hebrews 1: The Son, God Manifested in the Flesh...Verbal Study

[ebyown]

yes this was posted before but again addresses some of the current questions.....

Phillipians 2:5 Have this in your mind, which was also in Messiah YAHSHUA, 6 Who, existing in the form of Elohiym, didn’t consider equality with Elohiym a thing to be grasped(seized, held on to, retained), 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, He humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross. 9 Therefore Elohiym also highly exalted Him, and gave to Him the Name which is above every name; 10 that at the Name of YAHSHUA every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that YAHSHUA the Messiah is Adonay, to the glory of Elohiym the Father.

If everyone is comfortable, shall we move on? (I have to leave shortly and will post later if all is well now)

Yes, the Law was for and all about YAHSHUA. He is the One Man Who the Law saved from death by His complete obedience to it. The Law was His path to life and He praises the Law and His Father all through Psalm 119 because of His faith that His obedience to the Law would preserve His life even though He died for us.

The promise of the Father.....

Leviticus 18:4 You shall do My ordinances, and You shall keep My statutes, and walk in them: I am YHVH your Elohiym. 5 You shall therefore keep My statutes and My ordinances; by which the Man that doeth them shall live:: I am YHVH.

and again in Ezekiel

20:11 I gave them My statutes, and shown them My ordinances, which if a Man does, by them he shall live.

It is the promise of life in the Law to the Man Who keeps them and YAHSHUA is the Man.

Here is YAHSHUA's oath to keep the law and He also asks to be raised from the dead on that basis as He does many time in Psalm 119.

119:105 Your word is a lamp to My feet, And a light for My path. 106 I have sworn, and have confirmed it, That I will obey Your righteous ordinances. 107 I am afflicted very much. Revive(live, quicken, restore life) Me, YHVH, according to Your Word.

And His basis for His request to be raised is His Father's promise in the Word/Law that if a Man kept the Law death had no claim on Him. So the death He died was for us to free us from the curse of they law, but He could not be held death.

And His basis for His request to be raised is His Father's promise in the Word/Law that if a Man kept the Law death had no claim on Him. So the death He died was for us to free us from the curse of the law, but He could not be held by death because of His obedience to the Law.

and He had not fully obeyed the Law till His last breath when He died because He was the Only One Who could save us from our sins. His Father sent Him to save us because of His love. the highest law is to love YAH and love you neighbor as yourself. So in order for YAHSHUA to fully obey the law He had to give His life in obedience to His Father's love and desire to save us and also to love His neighbors as Himself by giving His Life for us.

He is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world because by His creation in obedience to His Father He would one day become Man and lay down His life for us when the time came.

Heb 1:4 τοσουτωG5118 D-DSM - (so much) κρειττωνG2909 A-NSM - (better...than) γενομενοςG1096 V-2ADP-NSM - (having became (not "made" G4161)) των αγγελωνG32 N-GPM - (than the angels) οσωG3745 K-DSN - (inasmuch as) διαφορωτερονG1313 A-ASN-C - (more excellent) παρG3844 PREP - (than) αυτουςG846 P-APM - (they) κεκληρονομηκενG2816 V-RAI-3S - (He had inherited) ονομαG3686 N-ASN - (a name)
　

Heb 1:4 having became ( not "made" G4161) so much better than the angels, inasmuch as He had inherited a more excellent name than they. (extension to verse 3)

KJV Heb 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.


Verbs:

having became (2Aorist Middle Deponent Participle) = a past action where the subject performed and received the action of the verb. The participle causes it to be incomplete of itself and in need of being connected to the rest of the thought. That is, by having made Himself better than the angels, He obtained a more excellent name than they. Also note that the second aorist means that there is a consequence of that action. And that consequence of course is that He inherited a more excellent name.

had inherited (peRect Active indicative) = an one time event having been performed by the subject which is to never occur again. I just recently learned that the indicative in Greek means that the statement is based on fact of actually having occurred, will occurred, or is occuring. With that said, this one time event did in fact occur. Jesus Himself, through His deeds even in death, acquired this name which is above all other names. Note that both actions were performed by Jesus Himself, which implies that He was in no way passive in His obedience to God, but that in all He did, He did it as the man Jesus, never taking advantage of His Godship.

 

[ebyown]

what is the Name that He inherited? Why is this Name His and above all others?

Was His act of giving His life on the cross an act of faith on His part? How did He know He would be raised from the dead and Glorified?

God the Word has no beginning. But the Word as being the Son has a beginning, seeing that it was God Himself who said, "I SHALL BE a Father to Him, and He SHALL BE a Son to Me." I am quite sure God knows the differene between the future tense and other tenses when His Spirit also said, 'The holy thing which SHALL BE born from you SHALL BE called the Son of God." And in another place, the Spirit spoke on this wise, 'His name SHALL BE called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the everlasting Father, the Price of Peace". This is why it is important to distinct between the titles God the Word received during His Sonship.

As to verse 8, Yes, most certainly the Word is God and it was the Word who became the Son. You are correct to say that His, the Word's, throne is from eternality. It was not until the man Jesus, the Word incarnated, was resurrected that He, purely man and purely God, received His throne back not as the Word alone, but as the Son also.

May I suggest to you that if you wish for others to listen to you, and out of logical stragegy of debating that the very first words which comes out of your mouth would not be 'heresy'. And if you feel that I still in error, then I ask that you take all the Scriptures of where it speaks of the Son being born, having a beginning, and refute them. Thank you.

Having read through this post I feel I owe you an apology for jumping the gun...

Some off your statements (to me anyway) were rather vague with regards to who the titles The Word and The Son were referring to and I felt you never really explained Who there were referring to until Post #35 and Post #37, so I would really appreciate it if you could please qualify (possible controversial) statements more fully.

Yahweh Shalom

Heb 1:5 τινιG5101 I-DSM - (unto which?) γαρG1063 CONJ - (for) ειπενG3004 V-2AAI-3S - (has He said) ποτεG4218 PRT - (at any time) των αγγελωνG32 N-GPM - (of the angels) υιοςG5207 N-NSM - (Son) μουG1473 P-1GS - (My) ειG1510 V-PAI-2S - (You are) συG4771 P-2NS - (You) εγωG1473 P-1NS - (I) σημερονG4594 ADV - (this day) γεγεννηκαG1080 V-RAI-1S - (I had begotten) σεG4771 P-2AS - (You) καιG2532 CONJ - (and) παλινG3825 ADV - (again) εγωG1473 P-1NS - (I) εσομαιG1510 V-FDI-1S - (I shall be (MD)) αυτωG846 P-DSM - (unto Him) ειςG1519 PREP - (for (purpose)) πατεραG3962 N-ASM - (a Father) καιG2532 CONJ - (and) αυτοςG846 P-NSM - (He) εσταιG1510 V-FDI-3S - (He shall be (MD)) μοιG1473 P-1DS - (unto Me) ειςG1519 PREP - (for (purpose)) υιονG5207 N-ASM - (a Son)


Heb 1:5 For to which of the angels has He at any time said, "You are My Son. I had begotten You this day?" And again, "I shall be (MD) to Him for (purpose) a Father and He shall be (MD) to Me for (purpose) a Son?"

KJV Heb 1:5 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?


Verbs:

You are (Present Active Indicative) = the indicative is used to make statements of facts and because it is in the present indicative, it has every indication of continuing into the future. This is specifically spoken to His human child who was born Jesus. Although Jesus was the Word incarnated, He was, nevertheless, the human child born of God. The LORD said of the Son, "I shall make Him my Firstborn."

It is very needful to separate the titles bestowed upon the Word during His Sonship. Although the Word is from all eternity, God Himself, if one does not make a distinction between those titles, then by this verse, one can be lead to believe that the Word Himself has a beginning. But, if we understand that the Word took flesh upon Himself and was born as the man Jesus, then we can understand that when the man Jesus said that He is the I AM, then He, as the Word, really is the I AM. When the man Jesus said, "I am the LORD of the Sabbath", He, as the Word, really did mean that He was LORD. Again, without that distinction of titles, one can be lead to believe that the man Jesus is from all eternity, although it is said of the Son that He shall be born. But of the Word, it is said that, "At the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God."

had begotten (peRfect Active Indicative) = a completed and never to occur again action by the subject. If the Son was begotten by the Spirit through Mary and if the next verse tells us that "when He would have introduced the First Begotten", then it would seem that 'this day' would indicate the day the Holy Spirit placed His Holy seed in Mary. I do not think that it is speaking about when Jesus was baptized, seeing that the LORD said, "This IS (present indicative) my Son." Again, we are speaking about the Son and not the Word, although they are one and the same. Any suggestions on 'this day' would be helpful.

I shall be...He shall be (Future middle Deponent Indicative) = a future action where the subject is the performer and receiver of the action. The expression of the middle deponent is like saying, "I will take the duty upon myself to be his father" and the Son, "I will cause myself to look upon him as my father." If you would grant me this comparison, this middle deponent is comparative to a man taking responsibility of an adopted child and that orphaned child taking on another as his father. With that said, the future actually means that there will come a time where God will be His Father and He will be God's Son. As explained above, this is being spoken to the man named Jesus. 'Son' is a title the Word took upon Himself when He was born in human flesh.

The letter to Hebrews teaches us how to understand the OT Scriptures and this is the first of many quotes it shows us. So we have to go back to the Scripture referenced to see what we are being shown. The quote if from Psalm 2.

YAHSHUA speaking and quoting His Father speaking to Him.....
2:7 I will tell of the decree.
YHVH said to Me, "You are My Son.
Today I have become Your Father.
2:8 Ask of Me, and I will give
the nations for Your inheritance,
the uttermost parts of the earth for Your possession.

2:9 You shall break them with a rod of iron.
You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel."

In Psalm 2 Father, Son and Spirit each speak in different verses and in these verses the Son is quoting what His Father said to Him. This is an amazing revelation on understanding Psalms from the writer of Hebrews. To Him it is perfectly clear that it is Father and Son speaking in the passage and it is quoted in Hebrews as if that should be obvious to us also. So this teaches us how to understand Psalms especially by showing that the very voices of Father, Son and Spirit are contained there. It may not be completely clear when the "Today" was but the usage of the word indicates that it took place at some point.

So this verse is a major lesson on how Hebrews teaches us to read the OT Scriptures to reveal the truth of Who is really speaking to and about Whom.

Heb 1:3 Who, being the effulgence (radiant light, off flash, brightness) of His glory and the exact copy (expressed image) of His essence (nature, person), not only is upholding all things by the utterance of His power (innately so), but also through (channel of an act) Him having made Himself (MV) a purification(expiation) of our sins (offenses), sat down at the right of the Majesty in things highly exalted (As the word implies in its plurality, He is Majesty of all things highly esteemed)(2Ch 29:11).

Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high

The Son ALSO made the world, doesn't get much more uncomplicated than that, or, it does, the Lord reveals all Truth to us of His 3-form nature , as, in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth the world)

Think just a second of this sperm and egg scenario to understand how God can be tri....

God manifested Himself to us in Jesus appearance by way of the Holy Spirit into Mary's womb.



Does this make sense, that God took OF HIMSELF to put into Mary. This 'of Himself' is not a sperm MEETING and egg, like Look Who's Talking movie, LOL, it was God putting Himself, a PART OF HIMSELF , His Holy Spirit manifestation seed, NOT sperm, there was NO egg of Mary involved for Jesus IMMACULATELY CONCEPTED birth.
God manifested Himself through His seed becoming housed in Mary and born in 9 month in the normal way babies are born through labor.

Jesus SHINES in brightness, same-exact image, upholds power through words (this is not speaking of the Bible). Notice word, 'His,' this possessive speaks of what?

God in three persons (forms of Himself), no?

1. Being brightness of His glory (God)
2. Express image of His person (Jesus is the 'express image'))
3. Upholding all things of His power (The Holy Spirit empowers believers)

A triune God, no ?

Also, God bonds all of Himself together, by saying 'Himself' purged (cleansed, forced out completely gone)

And, after completing death (and arising from grave), sat down down at the right hand of the Majesty on high

Majesty is a plural proper noun, and, in this case it speaks of the tri-nature of God and Jesus is PART of our ONE TRUE GOD this all is saying, may the Holy Spirit lead you (and me and mpaper, and ebyown, and, cee, and, all whoever else interprets with posts ) to great understanding , and, IF just not coming to you now, that is OK, faith is His 'measure' given us and our desire to know more of Him will reveal Him to us Philippians 4:7

 

[GreenNnice]

Edit: v.4 ^ ' word of power' is referring to Jesus' power fully given Him by God above, just was saying 'word' is not referencing the Bible or 'The Word, specifically.

KJV Heb 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

'Made' does not refer to being conceived, but does refer to stature. God made Jesus higher than all the angels (Michael, etc.) . Ex: Joe made me what I am today.

Inheritance obtained by Jesus' work on earth, so great of work that none like Him ever.came before or will come after (until Jesus comes again) , so much so that His name will be above all names.

Verbs:

should have introduced (2Aorist Active Subjunctive) = the subjunctive, in expressing possibility, can also speak of an action which has yet to occur. Knowing that Jesus did come into the world, it is that waiting for an event to occur which is being spoken about here. The active tells us that it was God who performed the action of sending the Word to become flesh. the second aorist tells us that there is a consequence of having performed the action of 'introduced', and the name 'Firstborn' gives us the result of that consequence. Namely, He is the firstborn of many of God's children. Without the Firstborn having been introduced, there would have not been any children of God. The phrase, "He should have introduced" tells us that this sending of the Word was pre-planned, and from Scripture, we understand that it was planned from eternity.


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]are to have worshipped (Aorist Active iMperative) = [FONT=Times New Roman, serif]a command to the subject to have performed an action, and in this sense, to have made it so in every circumstance. It was Jesus Himself who said in quoting, "You shall worship the LORD your God and He only shall you serve (perform deeds of services unto)", but yet we have God the Father saying to His angels that they are to worship towards the Son. There are numerous instances where people came and paid homage to the man Jesus (the same worship Jesus said belongs to God alone), even the same homage (act of adoration) Satan requested of Jesus, yet, not once did Jesus forbid it from those who were worshipping Him. If it is to be said that Jesus spoke the truth as pertaining to worshipping belonging to God alone, and He never refused such worship, then this and this alone tells us that Jesus is God and worthy of adoration (worship). In fact, is He not given this act of adoration (worship) from the souls of the multitudes in Heaven in Revelation? [/FONT][/FONT]

God brought of Himself into the world and even angels in this time and in time to come and in time passed are all to worship Him. this said in the present tense and that extends into the future tense. And, this is telling us to worship God always, even angels, too. once Jesus entered the world, He is to be worshipped and this equal exact parallelism speaks of The Divine Nature (God) and His plurality of being .

and yet as a Man doesn't YAHSHUA worship His Father?

Yes, as a man, Jesus pointed and did worship towards the Father.

He worships His Father with His whole Being and always does what pleases Him and His Father exalts Him above all creation.

Verbs:

is making (Present Active Participle) = the subject performing an action in the active present. This is not to say that He is in the process of creating angels, seeing that creation was completed in six days. What this is saying is that the way God wishes them to be at a particular moment of work, they assume the form commanded, unlike the Son who remains constant. Sometimes He makes them women (Zec 5:9), sometimes men (Gen 18:2), sometimes spirits (Psa 104:4), sometimes fiery flame, sometimes wind (Psa 18:10), sometimes chariots (Psa 104:3). What needs to be taken from this is that they are but elements to be used in ministerial capacity toward and for God, but the Son is Lord of all, even their Creator whom they do worship. (Rev 14:7) This also does not imply that they were made of earthly elements, seeing that they are spiritual beings, but that they are used as elements of a purpose.
