46 2 2 Through the Bible with Les Feldick Why Hebrews Was Written: Hebrews 1:1-10

And it's the same way with everything in creation, as it is constantly moving into a less useable state. And even we in this body of flesh, as I said in the last program, from the day we're born, death begins. It doesn't matter whether we live to be 10 or 70 or 100, that's beside the point; death is our final end, short of the Rapture of the Church. So the whole creation is under that same set of circumstances. It is moving closer and closer to the time when it will finally be exchanged for something totally new. Now let's back that up with some Scripture. Hebrews 1:11 "They shall perish; (all the things God has created) but thou (the Creator) remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;" My, what a beautiful illustration. Now a garment doesn't wear out overnight. That's something that is accomplished over a process of time, and so is creation. As the eons of time are going by, everything is in entropy, it's all going into a less useable state, until finally God will undo the whole thing. Now verse 12, and using that same word: garment, or a vesture or piece of clothing: Hebrews 1:12 "And as a vesture shalt thou (the Creator) fold them up, and they shall be changed: (I think a clearer word there would be exchanged. The heaven and earth are not going to be changed from this to that, but they're going to be totally destroyed, and we're going to have everything new.) but thou (Creator) art the same, and thy years shall not fail." Now let's go back once again to the Old Testament to Isaiah chapter 51, then we're going to look at Psalms again. Isaiah 51:6 "Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, (same language) and they that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be for ever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished."
