How does Hebrews 1:12 connect with Psalm 102:25-27 about God's eternal nature? The Verses Side by Side Hebrews 1:12: “You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed; but You remain the same, and Your years will never end.” • “In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. • They will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like a garment. • Like clothing You will change them, and they will be passed on. • But You remain the same, and Your years will never end.” Key Truths About God’s Eternal Nature • Creation has a beginning and an end; God does not. • “You remain the same” highlights divine immutability—God’s character, purposes, and promises never shift. • “Your years will never end” affirms His timeless existence, unlike any created thing. Why the Writer of Hebrews Cites Psalm 102 • To declare Jesus as the divine Son who shares the Father’s eternal nature. • The Psalm speaks of Yahweh; Hebrews applies it directly to the Son, identifying Jesus with Yahweh. • This reinforces the argument of Hebrews 1 that the Son is superior to angels because He is the eternal Creator they worship. The Unchanging Lord and the Changing Creation • Psalm 90:2: “From everlasting to everlasting You are God.” • Malachi 3:6: “For I, the LORD, do not change.” • James 1:17: “The Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” • Hebrews 13:8: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” All point to one united truth: the Lord alone is constant while everything else wears out or is rolled up like an old garment. Living in Light of His Eternality • Confidence: Because the Lord’s character never varies, His promises stand firm (Isaiah 40:8). • Worship: Eternal, unchanging glory belongs to Him alone (Revelation 4:11). • Hope: The One whose years never end secures our everlasting salvation (Hebrews 7:24-25). Hebrews 1:12 and Psalm 102:25-27 unite to proclaim that the Son shares the Father’s eternal, immutable nature. In a perishable world, we rest in the everlasting, unchanging Lord. |
