Hebrews 12:25
_ _ refuse not — through unbelief.
_ _ him that speaketh — God in Christ. As the blood of sprinkling is represented as speaking to God for us, Hebrews 12:24; so here God is represented as speaking to us (Hebrews 1:1, Hebrews 1:2). His word now is the prelude of the last “shaking” of all things (Hebrews 12:27). The same word which is heard in the Gospel from heaven, will shake heaven and earth (Hebrews 12:26).
_ _ who refused him — Greek, “refusing as they did.” Their seemingly submissive entreaty that the word should not be spoken to them by God any more (Hebrews 12:19), covered over refractory hearts, as their subsequent deeds showed (Hebrews 3:16).
_ _ that spake — revealing with oracular warnings His divine will: so the Greek.
_ _ if we turn away — Greek, “we who turn away.” The word implies greater refractoriness than “refused,” or “declined.”
_ _ him that speaketh from heaven — God, by His Son in the Gospel, speaking from His heavenly throne. Hence, in Christ’s preaching frequent mention is made of “the kingdom of the heavens” (Greek, Matthew 3:2). In the giving of the law God spake on earth (namely, Mount Sinai) by angels (Hebrews 2:2; compare Hebrews 1:2). In Exodus 20:22, when God says, “I talked with you from heaven,” this passage in Hebrews shows that not the highest heavens, but the visible heavens, the clouds and darkness, are meant, out of which God by angels proclaimed the law on Sinai. |
Hebrews 12:25
Refuse not — By unbelief. Him that speaketh — And whose speaking even now is a prelude to the final scene. The same voice which spake both by the law and in the gospel, when heard from heaven, will shake heaven and earth. For if they escaped not — His vengeance. Much more shall not we — Those of us who turn from him that speaketh from heaven — That is, who came from heaven to speak to us. |
Hebrews 12:25
(13) See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more [shall not] we [escape], if we turn away from him that [speaketh] from heaven:
(13) The applying of the former comparison: If it were not lawful to condemn his word which was spoken on the earth, how much less his voice which is from heaven? |
