2015DBRP_296 Eze21 Is5 Heb2


Yesterday we saw that the Lord was quite offended when unrighteous leaders of Israel came to ask for a message from the Lord!

Yesterday there was a temporary break in the clouds in Isaiah, and we heard the first hint about the Righteous Branch who was to come.

Yesterday we heard the amazing prologue in the first chapter of Hebrews. Angels are nowhere approaching the majesty of Jesus. And Jesus was given many glorious promises.

Translation notes:

5 And furthermore, it is not angels who will control the future

world we are talking about. 6 For in one place the Scriptures say,

“What are mere mortals that you should think about them,

or a son of man [— an ordinary human,] that you should care for him?

7 Yet you made them [— humans,] only a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.

8 You gave them authority over all things.”

Now when it says “all things,” it means nothing is left out. But we have not yet seen all things put under [the authority of mankind//their authority].

These are the most frequently misunderstood verses in this book! People are so used to thinking of the title for Jesus, Son of Man. I made the additions because the podcast listeners cannot hear that small letters are used in this case. I think this is the only place in the New Testament where the main Hebrew meaning of ‘son of man’ is used— which simply means ‘an ordinary human’, in distinction from angels or spirit beings.
