Key Reflection

Hebrews 1:2 speaks of a divine revelation that came at the culmination of history, where God communicated to humanity through His Son. This Son, appointed as the heir of all things, not only spoke with authority but also orchestrated the creation of the universe, demonstrating his role as both creator and sustainer. This verse emphasizes the supremacy and divinity of Christ, highlighting his crucial position in both the act of creation and the ongoing governance of the cosmos.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 2. Hath in these last days. In this the final dispensation; or in this dispensation under which the affairs of the world will be wound up. Phrases similar to this occur frequently in the Scriptures. They do not imply that the world was soon coming to an end, but that that was the last dispensation, the last period of the world. There had been the patriarchal period, the period under the law, the prophets, etc., and this was the period during which God's last method of communication would be enjoyed, and under which the world would close.
