- Preface - Introduction: 1. Ancient Interpreters of the Eastern Church / 2. Ancient Interpreters of the Western Church / 3. Modern Interpreters (since the Reformation), EXPOSITION. FIRST PART OF THE EPISTLE (Chap. i. 1- v. 10). - The Supreme Exaltation of the Mediator of the New Testament above the Angels, above Moses and Joshua, and finally above Aaron. * The manifold revelations of Himself made by God through the prophets have been followed up in this last time by a revelation through the Son as accomplisher of the work of redemption ; who both, à priori, as God of God and upholder of the Universe created by God through Him, and now, à posteriori, as the glorified One and Heir of all things, is exalted above the angels (Chap, i.) * Exhortation to obedience to such a revelation as this—which, as given through the Son, so far excels that given through angels—in order not to incur a so much severer punishment (Chap. ii. 1-4) * The setting forth of the divine exaltation of the Lord Jesus is continued with abandonment of the homiletic parænesis. Not angels, but the incarnate Son, is Lord of the world to come, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, that by death He might overcome death, and being made perfect through sufferings, might be for us, His brethren and with Him children of one heavenly Father, a sympathizing high priest (Chap. ii. 5-18), ..... * A second parallel, presented in the form of a renewed paraenesis, based on the preceding paragraph, and exhorting to a due regard for such a high priest, who is not only faithful as Moses was in the house of God. but so much more glorious than he, as the son is greater than a servant (Chap. iii. 1-6) * A fresh exhortation, based on the preceding doctrine, not to harden the heart against a Messenger of God so much greater than even Moses, and this in order not (like the generation in the wilderness) to lose an entrance into God’s rest (Chap, iii. 7-19) * An invitation (subjoined as conclusion to the preceding) to enter by faith into that divine rest to which the generation of the wilderness attained not, into which Joshua likewise was unable to bring his people,—the sabbath rest of God Himself, of which His people are made partakers (Chap. iv. 1-10) * Renewed exhortation to enter into the rest of God, the intense earnestness of which is founded on the all-penetrating and all-disclosing vital energy of the divine word (Chap. iv. 11-13) * The parænesis returns to its starting-point: how firm and joyous should our faith be in having a High Priest so gracious and so exalted! (Chap. iv. 14-16) * The high priest of Aaron’s race holds, as man, on behalf of other men, his office from God : and so also Christ has been appointed priest by God His Father, after a higher order, that of Melchizedek; and though Son of God, became through suffering and prayers in the days of His flesh, the author of eternal salvation to us (Chap. v. 1-10) EPISODE OF EXHORTATION CONDUCTING FROM THE FIRST TO THE SECOND PART OF THE EPISTLE (Chap. v. 11-vi. 20) * Before pursuing further the comparison of Christ with Melchizedek, the author rebukes his readers for their backwardness, in lingering on the threshold of Christian knowledge, over which he would now, with God’s help, lead them onwards to perfection (Chap. v. 11-vi. 3) * He sets vividly before them the hopelessness of apostasy, in cases where a living knowledge of Christ has been once obtained. For them, however, he still persists in hoping better things, and that through stedfastness in faith they will yet inherit the promises (Chap. vi. 4-12) * Having thus expressed his confident persuasion on behalf of his readers, that they will through stedfast faith obtain the promised salvation, the sacred writer now proceeds to set before them the example of Abraham, who had also through patience entered into the possession of a promise which God had confirmed to him by an oath upon Himself. They, too, have a hope confirmed in like manner, and one reaching onwards into the innermost sanctuary, into which, as their forerunner, Jesus Himself was already entered, being made (also by the oath of God) High Priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek (Chap. vi. 13-20) SECOND PART OR CENTRAL MAIN DIVISION OF THE EPISTLE (Chap. vii. 1-x. 18). - The Melchizedekian Supra-Levitical Character and Dignity of our Celestial High Priest, who, after one Self-sacrifice once offered, is now for ever royally enthroned. - Analysis - Sect. I. The Priest after the order of Melchizedek: Melchizedek—that old mysterious king, that priest without beginning or end, whose appearance is so enigmatical and so significant in sacred history, and whose superior dignity was acknowledged by the great ancestor of the Levitical tribe— is (here set forth as) a type of Jesus Christ, who, springing from the royal tribe of Judah, was constituted, not by a legal and temporary ordinance, but by a divine unchangeable oath, an everlasting Priest, and thus exalted far above the mortal priests of the line of Aaron (Chap. vii. 1-25) - EXCURSUS: Excursus to Heb. iv. 9, containing Extracts from the Talmudic Tract Sanhedrin 96b, 97a, relating to the Coming of Messiah and the Millennial Sabbath - Notes |
