How has God spoken to us by His Son? Hebrews 1:1-4: God spoke by the prophets, but in these last days by His Son, the express image of His person.
Hebrews w/ Otis Fowler Pt 1, with Otis Fowler, Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.
"God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds" (Hebrews 1:1-2). Otis explains why he reads the NASB 1995, then reads Hebrews 1:1-4.
Hebrews was written to believers under persecution, and the book sets the old covenant beside the new: grace and truth came by Jesus Christ (John 1:17), and God cut a covenant with Abram (Genesis 15). "The express image of his person" (Hebrews 1:3) is like a stamp on wax, not the moon reflecting the sun. Jesus says "Before Abraham was, I am" (John 8:58), "I and my Father are one" (John 10:30) and "he that hath seen me hath seen the Father" (John 14:9).
Also covered: the first and the last (Isaiah 44; Revelation 1), heaven meted out with the span (Isaiah 40:12), "the brightness of his glory," the only begotten Son, modalism and the Trinity, "upholding all things by the word of his power," "the image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15-20), one sacrifice for sins (Hebrews 10:11-12), and an outline of the whole book.
