Hebrews Chapter One Verse 2

As it is seen in verse one we see it is God speaking and having spoken in sundry of times and in divers manner.

The Sundry of times or different dispensations as it was in the day of Adam and Eve, God coming to Adam and Eve in the cool of the day and calling unto them desiring to communicate with them. Then in the days of Noah God speaking to Noah to build an Ark and yet God spoke through Noah to the people of his time but yet we still hear God speaking through these events if one is listing, and as we consider the different period of times or dispensations we see God still speaking, and in verse two we see he has decided to speak again and that is by His son in theses last days .

The scripture in verse two points to these last days. So we have God choosing how he wants to speak, and what the considered time is He is speaking in, and how he wants to speak in that time. We can say God is measuring time or length of days but, for sure God is speaking, and now has decided to speak in a manner He hadn’t spoken before.

Now then we are starting to see more confirmation about who is He speaking to here in the Book of Hebrews. It is more obvious it is the Jewish people because as we know they were God’s people during previous periods of time, dispensations as we would note those period of times to be but now he is going to speak again in His son.

We do need to keep in mind that God was speaking to Jewish people who had believed in Jesus at one time and not the Gentiles who had come to believe in Jesus.

The writer of the Book of Hebrews has the period of times connecting together . The times of the pass with the times of the last days illuminating the fact it is the Jewish people He is speaking to which there again leads us to ask why is He speaking to the Jewish people only.

We begin to see he has to remind them in the manner which He had spoke to them in the past but now it was the manner in which he was going to speak to them , and that was through His only begotten son.

The Jewish people had moved away from Justification by Faith and went back to works according to the law.

.But , now this is why it is so important to know why a book is written , and to who it is written to because the illumination of these verses begin to reflect the purpose of the book being written.

The Book of Hebrews was written to bring Jewish people who had believed in Jesus Christ back to being reconciled to God through faith in Jesus Christ because they had turned away from Jesus Christ and went back to the law and its customs and works for Justification and was not holding fast to God for Justification by Faith in His Son.

The Apostle writing to them is reminding them that God had changed the manner in which He had communication with them. So of course it would take faith to believe that he was speaking to them by His Son and what God was going to say by His son.

The faith that they could believe that God was going to change the manner that he would speak to them and what he would have to say to them would come through Jesus .
