Hebrews 1:1-6 KJV
1 God, who at sundry times and in
divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken
unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by
whom also He made the worlds;
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 on the right hand of The Majesty On High:
4 Being made so much better than the
angels, as He hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than
they.
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?
6 And again, when He bringeth in the
firstbegotten into the world, He saith, And let all the
angels of God worship Him.
The phrase, “the firstbegotten,”
referring to Christ, is a symbolical reference, it in no way is
referring to order of His birth!
The rank of “firstbegotten,” had
with it the blessing of the father, and double portion of his
father's inheritance. A firstborn, many times followed his father,
if he was a ruler, as a successor.
Genesis 27:26-29 KJV (Jacob
deceives his father Isaac.)
26 And his father Isaac said unto
him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
27 And he (Jacob) came near, and
kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him,
and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which
the Lord hath blessed:
28 Therefore God give thee of the
dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and
wine:
29 Let people serve thee, and
nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy
mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth
thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
Exodus 13:11-16 NLT (Male First
Born Dedicated to the Lord.)
11 “This is what you must do when
the Lord fulfills the promise He swore to you and to your ancestors.
When He gives you the land where the Canaanites now live,
12 you must present all firstborn
sons and firstborn male animals to the Lord, for they belong to Him.
13 A firstborn donkey may be bought
back from the Lord by presenting a lamb or young goat in its place.
But if you do not buy it back, you must break its neck. However, you
must buy back every firstborn son.
14 “And in the future, your
children will ask you, ‘What does all this mean?’ Then you will
tell them, ‘With the power of His mighty hand, the Lord brought us
out of Egypt, the place of our slavery.
15 Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let
us go, so the Lord killed all the firstborn males throughout the land
of Egypt, both people and animals. That is why I now sacrifice all
the firstborn males to the Lord—except that the firstborn sons are
always bought back.’
16 This ceremony will be like a mark
branded on your hand or your forehead. It is a reminder that the
power of the Lord’s mighty hand brought us out of Egypt.”
Hebrews 1:6 KJV
And again, when He bringeth in the
firstbegotten into the world, He saith, And let all the
angels of God worship Him.
God, the Father, was “not,”
referring to His eternal Son, as “firstbegotten,” in any way and
or sense, that He was His “first,” Son!
The Apostle Paul was speaking
“symbolically,” speaking of position, and not that of birth
order!
Proof, of course.
Exodus 4:21-23 KJV
21 And the Lord said unto Moses,
When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those
wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will
harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
22 And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh,
Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even My firstborn:
23 And I say unto thee, Let my son
go, that he may serve Me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I
will slay thy son, even thy firstborn.
Jeremiah 31:7-10 KJV
7 For thus saith the Lord; Sing with
gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish
ye, praise ye, and say, O Lord, save thy people, the remnant of
Israel.
8 Behold, I will bring them from the
north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with
them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that
travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.
9 They shall come with weeping, and
with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the
rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble:
for I am a Father to Israel, and Ephraim is My firstborn.
10 Hear the word of the Lord, O ye
nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that
scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth
his flock.
Was Israel, God's first flesh and
blood, “firstborn son?” Of course not, the words are “symbolic!”
Hebrews 1:6 KJV
And again, when He bringeth in the
firstbegotten into the world, He saith, And let all the
angels of God worship Him.
Well, what then, does this verse mean?
The rank of “firstbegotten,” has
with it the blessing of the father, it is a “position, or title,”
of great blessing, and authority.
Hebrews 1:1-6 KJV
1 God, who at sundry times and in
divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken
unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things,
by whom also He made the worlds;
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 on the right hand of The
Majesty On High:
4 Being made so much better than the
angels, as He hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent
name than they.
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?
6 And again, when He bringeth in the
firstbegotten into the world, He saith, And let all
the angels of God worship Him.
Revelation 5:6-14 NLT
6 Then I saw a Lamb that looked as
if it had been slaughtered, but it was now standing between the
throne and the four living beings and among the twenty-four elders.
He had seven horns and seven eyes, which represent the sevenfold
Spirit of God that is sent out into every part of the earth.
7 He stepped forward and took the
scroll from the right hand of the One sitting on the throne.
8 And when He took the scroll, the
four living beings and the twenty-four elders fell down before the
Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they held gold bowls filled with
incense, which are the prayers of God’s people.
9 And they sang a new song with
these words: “You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals
and open it. For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed
people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.
10 And you have caused them to
become a Kingdom of priests for our God. And they will reign on the
earth.”
11 Then I looked again, and I heard
the voices of thousands and millions of angels around the throne and
of the living beings and the elders.
12 And they sang in a mighty chorus:
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered— to receive power and
riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.”
13 And then I heard every creature
in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They sang:
“Blessing and honor and glory and power belong to the One sitting
on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever.”
14 And the four living beings said,
“Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped the
Lamb.
