Hebrews 13:8 vs 1 Corinthians 15:28


Hebrews 13:8 vs 1Corinthians 15:28
By Bishop Jerry Hayes Sr


Jesus as Yahweh - The existing One.

He 13:8 'Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever".

This is referencing the eternality of Jesus. It is the same genre of saying as "He who is, was, and is to come" Re 1:8. Here, the writer of Hebrews is speaking of Jesus’ eternal Godhood. This is a "Yahweh saying" (Ex 3:14 "I am that I am" - the existing One, the One Who is) of the NT - there are many:(Jn 8:58;Jn 20:6 Ego eime "I am"; Col 1:17;He 12:2; Rev 1:8,*17;21:6; 23:13.)


Yesterday = past, into eterity past; today = present; tomorrow = future, into the eternal future.


This saying of the writer is a continuing of his theme of the surety of God to secure and equip the believer from:  v6  "The LORD (Yahweh) is my helper., I will not be afraid."  This theme continues through to the end of the chapter; see vv20-22: “The God of peace, ..., equip you in every good thing to do His will." So we are shown a Jesus that is truly the Author and Finisher of our Faith (He 12:2).


The Sonship, or Humanity of Christ

1 Cor 15:28 "...then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, that God may be all in all,"

This signals the end of the administration of the Sonship of Christ.  Jesus, the Son of God, said: "…for the things concerning me have an end." peri emou telos echei (Lk 22:37).


 The present arrangement of deity as: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is not eternal. It is only God's present "economy." Before creation there was just God. After the redemption story is finished all of His economy will fold back into Himself and God will be as He was in eternity past - God will be all in all. (1Cor 15:28).


The end of the Sonship is not the end of Jesus the Great I Am. It is only the end of one administration of the economy of deity. "There are differences of administrations, but the same Lord" (1 Cor 12:5). Now, in relation to God there is but One Lord (Eph 4:5). On the road to Damascus Saul asked the arresting force: "Who are you Lord? and the Lord said: I am Jesus..."


The reason so many have a difficult time with this is because of a refusal to accept the biblical teaching of the Dual Nature of Jesus; Fully God and Fully man. The New Testament draws a stark distinction between these two different planes of Jesus' existence:

Godhead Theology is a study of Christian Godhead theology. In Godhead Theology Bishop Jerry Hayes follows that debate concerning Jesus through the first 300 years of the Church's history. Our book is in five sections: Section One is the history of the early Church from A. D. 100 to 400 and demonstrates Modalistic Monarchianism as the original orthodoxy of the Chruch; Section Two introduces the Apostolic Creed ...; Section Three is an affirmation of Modalistic Monarchianism; Section Four is Modalism's responses to objections from the Pluralists: Trinitarians, Binitarians, Arians and Semi-Arians. Included are two comprehensive indexes: Subject Index and Scripture Index.
