Hebrews 4:14
_ _ Seeing then — Having, therefore; resuming Hebrews 2:17.
_ _ great — as being “the Son of God, higher than the heavens” (Hebrews 7:26): the archetype and antitype of the legal high priest.
_ _ passed into the heavens — rather, “passed through the heavens,” namely, those which come between us and God, the aerial heaven, and that above the latter containing the heavenly bodies, the sun, moon, etc. These heavens were the veil which our High Priest passed through into the heaven of heavens, the immediate presence of God, just as the Levitical high priest passed through the veil into the Holy of Holies. Neither Moses, nor even Joshua, could bring us into this rest, but Jesus, as our Forerunner, already spiritually, and hereafter in actual presence, body, soul, and spirit, brings His people into the heavenly rest.
_ _ Jesus — the antitypical Joshua (Hebrews 4:8).
_ _ hold fast — the opposite of “let slip” (Hebrews 2:1); and “fall away” (Hebrews 6:6). As the genitive follows, the literally, sense is, “Let us take hold of our profession,” that is, of the faith and hope which are subjects of our profession and confession. The accusative follows when the sense is “hold fast” [Tittmann]. |
Hebrews 4:14
Having therefore a great high priest — Great indeed, being the eternal Son of God, that is passed through the heavens — As the Jewish high priest passed through the veil into the holy of holies, carrying with him the blood of the sacrifices, on the yearly day of atonement; so our great high priest went once for all through the visible heavens, with the virtue of his own blood, into the immediate presence God. |
Hebrews 4:14
(5) Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us (k) hold fast [our] profession.
(5) Now he compares Christ's priesthood with Aaron's, and declares even in the very beginning the marvellous excellency of this priesthood, calling him the Son of God, and placing him in the seat of God in heaven, plainly and openly contrasting him with Aaron's priests, and the transitory tabernacle. He expands on these comparisons in later passages.
(k) And let it not go out of our hands. |
