An exhortation to constant faith, patience, and godliness by Christ's example22. A commendation of the new covenant. to the assembly of the firstborn The term "assembly" here is translated from the Greek word "ἐκκλησία" (ekklesia), which refers to a gathering or congregation. Historically, this term was used to describe a civic assembly in Greek city-states, but in the New Testament, it takes on a sacred meaning, referring to the community of believers. The "firstborn" is a significant term, "πρωτότοκος" (prototokos), which in Jewish tradition signifies preeminence and inheritance rights. In a Christian context, it refers to those who are in Christ, the ultimate Firstborn, who have a special status and inheritance in the Kingdom of God. This phrase emphasizes the privileged position of believers who are part of this divine assembly, highlighting their spiritual birthright and eternal inheritance. enrolled in heaven to God the Judge of all to the spirits of the righteous made perfect And to the spirits of just men made perfect.--The last verses of Hebrews 11 are at once called before the mind by these words. The "righteous" men have "by faith" run their course (Hebrews 10:38; Hebrews 11:4; Hebrews 11:7; Philippians 3:12); they have obtained the promises (Hebrews 6:15; Hebrews 11:1). The analogy of Scripture forbids us to consider their present state as the full consummation; for that, these "spirits" and we who are yet "in the body" await the day of the resurrection. These words, however, do not refer to the period of the Old Covenant only; indeed they do not in strictness belong to that period at all. The spirits of the righteous servants of Christ join the same fellowship; and only when Christ was manifested does the state to which the name "perfection" is thus given seem to have begun. What was received by those "spirits of the righteous" when they saw the day of Christ, we cannot tell; but. the teaching of Scripture seems to be that they were raised to some higher state of blessedness. These are the new inhabitants of the world above; they have come into the presence of God by means of the blood of sprinkling, through Jesus. . . .
