Appointed Heir Of All Things Pt.2

Shalom In Yahshua and welcome once again to our study of Yahshua as revealed to us in  Hebrews 1.

A Review:

In our last post we learned several important points:

1. That if we do not take heed to and obey the Torah, Prophets, and Writings given us in the Tanakh (aka OT) we will not be much benefited by what Yahshua as taught in the Renewed Covenant or Brit Chadashah (aka NT) This is because if they believed not Moses and the prophets they would not believe though one rose from the dead.(Lk.16:31)

2. That obedience to the Torah, Neviim, and Ketuvim (the first 5 Books of Moses, Prophets, and the Writings[the rest of the OT]) is NOT 'legalism' or 'works' religion but obedience to the Liberty wherein we have been called in Yahshua. For it was the Spirit of Yahshua (Jesus) Himself that spoke to the fathers by the prophets. (1Pe.1:10,11) And where the Spirit of Yahshua is there is LIBERTY! (2Cor.3:17)

3. The religious leaders of Yahshua's day did not believe or accept the Spirit of Yahshua as He spoke to them through the ancient prophets. By rejecting Him in the person of the prophets the way was prepared for them to commit an even greater error in rejecting Him at His personal appearance.

4. The significance of Yahshua speaking to us in these last days is that we do not commit the same error that many of the religious leaders did in Yahshua's time; For One greater the Solomon has spoken. And there is to be no greater voice to hear and obey; for there is none greater than Yahshua.

 The points above are made simply as a review. If you've not read our previous post we invite you to do so before moving into this study.


We now wish to develop  several thoughts presented in Heb.1:2 namely:

1.  Yahshua's appointment as "heir of ALL THINGS" (emphasis mine)

Lets read the text again: " 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; 

Two primary thoughts, closely connected are presented here in the last portion of this verse:

a) Yahshua's appointment as Heir of all things, and
b) Yahshua's preeminence as Creator

We wish to consider two questions arising from these two thoughts:

1. Why was He conferred with such Infinite possession? and
2.  When did this conferment of such limitless dominion take place?

Before we get to the answer of these two questions we seek to reacquaint ourselves with several important points to be made regarding YHWH (The Father) and YAHSHUA [ YHWH'S only begotten Son. For it is our position that once we recall this unique relationship between them we will understand more fully the subject at hand, namely; the conferment of UNLIMITED power and dominion.

Many years ago, in the dateless ages of eternity past, from time immemorial, Yahshua existed with His Father. Solomon, in viewing the matter while under inspiration from on High speaks:

"The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. When [there were] no depths, I was brought forth; when [there were] no fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.When he prepared the heavens, I [was] there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:" (Prov. 8:22-29)

Than we have this insight:

 Then I was by him, [as] one brought up [with him]: and I was daily [his] delight, rejoicing always before him; (Prov.8:30)


Yahshua Himself speaking says: "  ....Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am." (Jn. 8:58)
and " ....for I proceeded forth and came from God;" (Jn.8:42)

In view of these simple yet very deep statements we catch an ever deepening and widening insight into this first and most important relationship.

Here is presented the fact that Yahshua is as eternal as His Father. He is from everlasting! He is daily the delight of YHWH. It is this ONENESS that exists between Them; the fact that both Father, and Son are Equal in the truest and highest sense of the word, and that there is a love so broad and deep that exists between them as co-equals, that we begin to understand all things related to this inter-relationship. [We hope to share more on this in a future post relating to verse 3.] We find that no one else is spoken of in the above mentioned Scripture verses of Proverbs 8. No, not even the angels of heaven are spoken of in these terms. And why not? It is simply for the reason that in these verses we are taken back to a time when not even they where in existence. It was simply YHWH and YAHSHUA! Now we know from the Scriptures that YHWH (God) is Love. And love always seeks for forms of expression; ways in which to express such love. Yahshua stated Himself as to where He came from, namely: "the bosom of His Father". This is not to be equated in any way with creation. YHWH by Yahshua created us and all things seen and unseen. YHWH gave mankind the power to procreate. But in the dateless ages of eternity, in which numbers are completely useless to determine; Yahshua the Prince of Princes, who ever existed  in eternity pass, came forth from the bosom of YHWH. All the angelic host were created; called into being by Infinite wisdom, love, and power. But Yahshua is the only non created being in all the universe who can fully understand and unite in all the purposes and counsels of The Ancient of Days (YHWH).

It is by virtue of such love and oneness of Father & Son that it pleased YHWH to make all things through and for Yahshua; as a demonstration of that love. But Lo, Both Father and Son worked together in the creation of all things. For the opening verse in the sacred Word says; " In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. ." Gen.1:1 The word translated God in the Hebrew is (Elohim) which, in context is plural. This truth is further delineated in Gen. 1:26. Therefore all creation was made for their pleasure and is a mutual representation and expression of that love. (Rev.4:11)

In full view of the great enterprise which was about to be undertaken; that is the creation of the universe, we have a special meeting in which honors, bestowals, and rank where to be given. This brings us to our two related thoughts presented in Heb.1:2  1. Yahshua's appointment as heir of all things and 2. Yahshua as Creator.

And at this point I wish to introduce one more closely connected thought; 3. The Plan of Redemption. Since YHWH is infinite in knowledge and thereby knows all things past, present, and future; He knew from the start, the introduction of sin into the universe. And thus from the beginning; from the foundation of the world; Yahshua the INFINITE ONE, stepped forward and pledged Himself to be THE LAMB SLAIN FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD.(Rev.13:8)

To be continued.......

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (Rom.1:20)
