Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
But now, in these final days, he's speaking to us through his Son, the one he's made heir to literally everything, and the same one who created all the worlds in the first place.
God's final word to us isn't a message, it's a person, his Son, who owns and created everything.
📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the book of Hebrews was written to Jewish Christians facing persecution and temptation to revert to Judaism, emphasizing the superiority of Christ over the old covenant. The author builds on the biblical narrative of God's progressive revelation, starting from the prophets and culminating in Jesus as the final and ultimate messenger. This verse sets the stage by portraying Jesus as God's Son, who is both the heir of all creation and the one through whom the universe was made.
