The present tense in English gives the sense of the aorist here. The reference is to Ps. 97, where he is just coming in, in his kingdom glory; but, in a certain sense, he must be there to be worshipped. His introduction is antecedent to his worship as firstborn, but it is on introducing him that this follows (hence the aorist), not when his whole introducing is a past thing. The glory of the person of Christ is before the writer, not the time of introducing. I have no doubt that the translation I give is the only right one.

See Ps. 97.7. "worship" is proskuneo.

But againa, when he bringeth in the firstborn into the inhabited earth, he saith, And let all God’s angels worship him.

The grammatical principle used in this epistle, is that when "again" is joined to a verb, it has always the sense of a second time, (chap. 4:7, 5:12, 6:1, 6). In this verse where it is not joined to a verb it means, "Again, he limiteth," not, "He limiteth a second time." The fact is that the apostle’s object appears to be, not defining time, but proving the universal homage of all God’s angels to the glory of the Son. At the same time it is frankly allowed that the fulfillment of {vi 105760}{/vi} or of {vi 115480}{/vi} as a whole awaits the Lord’s second advent.
