Now it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking. It has been testified somewhere, “what is man, that you are mind full of him, or son of man, that you care for him? You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor, putting everything in subjection under his feet. Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. Hebrew 2:5-8. Such vagueness (testified somewhere) in scriptural reference is characteristic of the author of Hebrews, who stresses divine authorship of scripture rather than human authors. This way of citing well-known Old Testament proof text about a man in creation is evidence for the Jewish background of the recipients. Psalm 8 describes the glorious status of man as the head of all creation. How do you explain authorship of the bible to others? If you’ve never had the opportunity then today is a good day to prepare yourself to do so. Be ready in season and out!
