Hebreos 2:8

Listen to Hebreos 2:8
8 ¡todo lo sometiste a su dominio!»[a]Si Dios puso bajo él todas las cosas, entonces no hay nada que no le esté sujeto. Ahora bien, es cierto que todavía no vemos que todo le esté sujeto.

Hebreos 2:8 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 2:8

Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet
Good angels, men and devils, all things in heaven, earth, and sea; see ( 1 Peter 3:22 )

for in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that
is not put under him;
there is no one person or thing that is not subject to Christ; the subjection is the most universal, either voluntary or involuntary; whether they will or not, they are, and must be subject; God has left nothing but what he has put under his power:

but now we see not yet all things put under him;
this seems to be an objection, and even a contradiction to what is before said; which may be removed by observing, that though this general subjection is not seen by us, it does not follow that it is not; and though it is not as yet visible, yet it will be: and besides, the apostle's sense may be, that no such general subjection to any mere man has ever been seen and known; as not to Solomon, nor Ahasuerus, nor Cyrus, nor Alexander the great, nor Julius, nor Augustus Caesar, nor any other; and this he may observe, to show the non-application of this passage to any but to Jesus Christ; and this sense is confirmed by what follows.

Hebreos 2:8 In-Context

6 Como alguien ha atestiguado en algún lugar:«¿Qué es el hombre, para que en él pienses?¿Qué es el ser humano, para que lo tomes en cuenta?
7 Lo hiciste un poco menor que los ángeles,y lo coronaste de gloria y de honra;
8 ¡todo lo sometiste a su dominio!»Si Dios puso bajo él todas las cosas, entonces no hay nada que no le esté sujeto. Ahora bien, es cierto que todavía no vemos que todo le esté sujeto.
9 Sin embargo, vemos a Jesús, que fue hecho un poco inferior a los ángeles, coronado de gloria y honra por haber padecido la muerte. Así, por la gracia de Dios, la muerte que él sufrió resulta en beneficio de todos.
10 En efecto, a fin de llevar a muchos hijos a la gloria, convenía que Dios, para quien y por medio de quien todo existe, perfeccionara mediante el sufrimiento al autor de la salvación de ellos.
