Although the book of Hebrews detaches the Jew from an earthly religion, the bond remains between them and the Jewish Messiah, drawing the heart to Himself in heaven. Christ takes the place of all religious ordinances. All religious bonds are now heavenly, although the Jew is on earth. Their spiritual bonds with God are unbroken.
Those who turn back will either take up with Jewish ordinances again, go into open sin, or both. A special warning is given in the first four verses to any such, lest they apostatize. The apostle asks, "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?"
There were signs, wonders, miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost at the introduction of Christianity to confirm the word spoken.
The angels will not be in charge of the world to come (the millennial day), but, "What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that Thou visitest him?" Christ was made a little inferior to angels for the suffering of death but now crowned with glory and honor and set over the works of God's hands. He tasted death for everything. All is put in subjection under His feet. But now, all is not yet put under Him, "But we see Jesus... crowned with glory and honor."
It was just like Christ, for whom and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons into that glory, to make the Captain perfect through His sufferings on earth. He who sanctifies (sets apart) and those sanctified are all of one. He is not ashamed of them and calls them brethren. Christ suffered both by reproach and in death for those He loved, the children that God gave Him.
Passing by angels, He chose the seed of Abraham who was the father of faith and who began a new era for mankind-setting forth moral glory rather than creature glory.
Christ, through death, destroyed him who had the power of death, and He delivered those who were in their lifetime in fear of death.
He was made like unto His brethren that He might be a High Priest, faithful and merciful, to make reconciliation for the sins of His people. Having been tempted, He is now able to sustain those who are tempted.
