1 | Who is the subject of this verse? | Heb 4:10 | DocTrinsograce | 125383 | ||
Some commentaries state that the "one" mentioned in this verse is the believer. While others indicate that this is not to be understood as the believer, but rather as Jesus Christ Himself. Frankly, I rather prefer the latter interpretation since it fits so nicely in with the rest of the chapter. I am curious about how others might see this. If you would be so kind as to respond, if possible please substantiate your opinion with scripture. :-) |

2 | Who is the subject of this verse? | Heb 4:10 | Hank | 125393 | ||
DocTrinsograce: The verse that comes before Hebrews 4:10 and the verse that follows it provide what appears to be strong evidence that verse 10 is speaking of believers, not of Christ. --Hank | ||||||
3 | Who is the subject? (continued) | Heb 4:10 | DocTrinsograce | 125395 | ||
Thank you for your comments, Hank. I agree that believers are mentioned in both verses... and in each case they are plural in the Greek: Verse 9 "people", verse 11 "us" and "men." However, each pronoun in verse 10 is singular in the Greek. Why would the writer change from plural to singular and back to plural again if the subject did not change? | ||||||
4 | Who is the subject? (continued) | Heb 4:10 | Ray | 125410 | ||
Hi Doctrinsograce, God was angry with the disobedient sinners in Hebrews 3:17. Now we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God; so let us hold fast our confession. God wants us to hear His voice. We are not to follow the voice of a man of flesh like Joshua, the one who has himself rested from his works and entered into His [sic] rest. Joshua told the people that they did well in keeping all that Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded them, and they also listened to Joshua's voice in all that he commanded them. See Joshua 22:1-6. But they were told to hear His [sic] voice and walk in His ways and keep His commandments, holding fast to Him and serving Him. Hebrews 9:27, "And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment, 28 so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him. For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come..." From the heart, Ray |
