Hebrews 1:11 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 1:11

They shall perish
That is, the heavens and the earth; not as to the substance of them, but as to the quality of them; the present form and fashion of them shall pass away; the curse will be removed from them, and they will be renewed and purified, but the substance of them will continue; otherwise there would be no place, either for the righteous or the wicked,

But thou remainest;
without any change or alteration, neither in his natures, divine or human, as God or man, nor in his office as Mediator; as a priest, he has an unchangeable priesthood, and ever lives to make intercession; as a King, his kingdom is an everlasting one, and of it there will be no end; and as a prophet, he will be the everlasting light, of his people.

They all shall wax old as doth a garment;
garments in time wax old, and lose their beauty and usefulness, unless when a miracle is wrought, as in the case of the children of Israel in the wilderness. Now the heavens, and the light thereof, are as a garment and a curtain, ( Psalms 104:2 ) and these, together with the earth, will in time come to their end of usefulness, in the present form of them; see ( Isaiah 51:6 ) .

Hebrews 1:11 In-Context

9 You loved righteousness and hated lawless behavior. That is why God, your God, has anointed you with oil instead of your companions.

10 And he says, You, Lord, laid the earth's foundations in the beginning, and the heavens are made by your hands.

11 They will pass away, but you remain. They will all wear out like old clothes.

12 You will fold them up like a coat. They will be changed like a person changes clothes, but you stay the same, and the years of your life won't come to an end.

13 When has he ever said to any of the angels, Sit at my right side until I put your enemies under your feet like a footstool?
