Hebrews 1:10-12 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

And thou, Lord, in the beginning, &c. These words, with those contained in the two following verses, are quoted from Psalms 102:25-27, where they are evidently spoken of the God of Israel, the living and true God. “Some have thought they are here addressed to the Father, and not to the Son. But, as the former passages are directed to the Son, it is reasonable to suppose this is so likewise: especially as it would not have been to the apostle's purpose to quote it here, if it had been addressed to the Father. By affirming that these words were spoken to the Son, the apostle confuted the opinion of those Jews who held that the angels assisted in making this mundane system; an error which was afterward maintained by some heretics in the Christian Church. They Permanent as they seem, and though firmly founded; shall at length perish Of the perishing of the earth and aerial heavens, Peter speaks, 2 Peter 3:10-13, where he also foretels that there shall be new heavens and a new earth, formed for the habitation of the righteous, after the old creation is destroyed. But thou remainest Διαμενεις, continuest in undecaying glory; as a vesture Περιβολαιον, a mantle, upper garment, or cloak; shalt thou fold them up With infinite ease; and they shall be changed Into new heavens and a new earth; or thou shalt remove them out of their place, and introduce a new scene of things with as much ease as a prince lays aside one robe and puts on another. But thou art eternally the same, and thy years shall not fail Through everlasting ages, nor can thy perfections admit any possible diminution.
