Hebrews 2:5 For to the angels has he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.… Strauss, in writing of the Emperor Julian's attempt to restore the old paganism, and to put away the new Christianity, says: " Every Julian, i.e.. every great and powerful man who would attempt to resuscitate a state of society which has died, will infallibly be vanquished by the Galilean, for the Galilean is nothing less than the genius of the future." To say that " the Galilean is nothing less than the genius of the future," is to say of Him what it would be ridiculous to say of any one else. Strauss felt that the spirit of the Galilean was so great add good, so rich, as to give to the future its noblest inspirations. (T. Sherwood.) Parallel Verses KJV: For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.WEB: For he didn't subject the world to come, of which we speak, to angels. |
