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 have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; this is why God, Your God, has anointed You, rather than Your companions, with the oil of joy.

10 And: In the beginning, Lord, You established the earth, and the heavens are the works of Your hands;

11 they will perish, but You remain. They will all wear out like clothing;

12 You will roll them up like a cloak, and they will be changed like a robe. But You are the same, and Your years will never end.

13 Now to which of the angels has He ever said: Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies Your footstool ?
