For it is not to angels This phrase emphasizes the distinction between angels and the role of humanity in God's divine plan. In the Greek, "angels" (ἄγγελοι, angeloi) refers to these celestial beings who serve as messengers and servants of God. Historically, angels were often seen as powerful and significant in the spiritual hierarchy. However, the author of Hebrews is making it clear that angels, despite their importance, are not the ones to whom God has given authority over the "world to come." This sets the stage for understanding the unique role of Christ and, by extension, humanity in God's redemptive plan. that He has subjected the world to come about which we are speaking (5) For.--There is a very clear connection between this verse and Hebrews 1:14. "Angels are but ministering spirits, serving God in the cause of those who shall inherit salvation; for not to angels is the world to come made subject." But the connection with Hebrews 2:2-3, is equally important: "the salvation that is now given has been proclaimed not by angels but by the Lord, and it is God Himself who works with the messengers of the Lord; for not unto angels," &c. The word "salvation" binds together this section and the first. (See Hebrews 1:14; Hebrews 2:2; Hebrews 2:10.) . . . Verse 5. - Here the second division of the first section of the argument, according to the summary given above (Hebrews 1:2), begins. But it is also connected logically with the interposed exhortation, the sequence of thought being as follows: "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?" - For (as an additional reason) not to angels (but to the Son, as will be seen) did he (God) subject the world to come, whereof we speak, "The world to come (ἡ οἰκουμένη ἡ μέλλουσα)" must be understood, in accordance with what has been said above in explanation of" the last of these days" (Hebrews 1:1), as referring to the age of the Messiah's kingdom foretold in prophecy. The word μέλλουσαν does not in itself necessarily imply futurity from the writer's standpoint though, according to what was said above, the complete fulfilment of the prophetic anticipation is to be looked for in the second advent, whatever earnest and foretaste of it there may be already under the gospel dispensation. The word οἰκουμένην (sub γὴν) is the same as was used (Hebrews 1:6) in reference to the Son's advent, denoting the sphere of created things over which he should reign. And it is suitably used here with a view to the coming quotation from Psalm 8, in which the primary idea is man's supremacy over the inhabited globe. The whole phrase may be taken to express the same idea as the "new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness" (cf. 2 Peter 3:13).Parallel Commentaries ...
