Robert, the antecedent of "He" in Hebrews 1:2 is God in verse 1. Compare John 1:3, where "Him" refers to the Word, who is Jesus Christ. --Hank | ||||||

Hi Hank, I don't know if we can fully understand the blend of the triune God here when comparing Hebrews 1:2 and John 1:1-3. Hank, I believe that you are simply pointing out that Jesus Christ is God. You are certainly correct in that and also in stating that the antecedent of He in Hebrews 1:2 is God. However, in comparing the verses I think that we have to note that there is a difference between the "heir of all things" of Hebrews and the "all things came into being" of John 1:3. Therefore I would not connect the two necessarily. Also, when you say that "Him" refers to the Word, we could also say that it refers to "God" in verse two, or I would say even to the "This One" of verse two. The Word was God; "this One" was in the beginning. Or as your King James Version reads, "The same was in the beginning with God." Another Scripture to compare with Hebrews 1:2 is Genesis 1:26. Genesis 1:26, "Then (God) said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;..."" Hebrews 1:2, "in these last days has spoken to us in (His) Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world." The parentheses are mine for comparison. I am of the opinion that we can worry too much about which Person is being spoken of in the Scriptures for our God is one. From the heart, Ray |
