Hebrews 2:5 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

This verse contains a proof of Hebrews 2:3; the greater the salvation is, and the more glorious the Lord whom we despise, the greater will be our punishment. God hath not subjected the world to come — That is, the dispensation of the Messiah; which being to succeed the Mosaic was usually styled by the Jews, the world to come, although it is still in great measure to come Whereof we now speak — Of which I am now speaking. In this last great dispensation the Son alone presides.

Hebrews 2:5

5 For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
