SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:26
De otra manera sería necesario que hubiera padecido muchas veces desde el principio del mundo; mas ahora UNA VEZ en la consumacin de los siglos, para deshacer el pecado se present por el sacrificio de sí mismo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Hebrew 9:26
Verse 26. For then must he often have suffered] In the counsel of God, Christ was considered the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, Rev. xiii. 8, so that all believers before his advent were equally interested in his sacrificial death with those who have lived since his coming. Humanly speaking, the virtue of the annual atonement could not last long, and must be repeated; Christ's sacrifice is ever the same; his life's blood is still considered as in the act of being continually poured out. See Rev. v. 6. The end of the world] The conclusion of the Jewish dispensation, the Christian dispensation being that which shall continue till the end of time.
To put away sin] eiv aqethsin amartiav? To abolish the sin- offerings; i.e. to put an end to the Mosaic economy by his one offering of himself. It is certain that, after Christ had offered himself, the typical sin-offerings of the law ceased; and this was expressly foretold by the Prophet Daniel, Dan. ix. 24. Some think that the expression should be applied to the putting away the guilt, power, and being of sin from the souls of believers.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 26. For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world , etc..] For if it was necessary that he should often offer up himself now, which is the same as to suffer, since the sacrifice of himself, the same was necessary before; seeing sin was in the world from the beginning, and the saints from the foundation of the world had their sins expiated by the sacrifice of Christ; but the truth is, Christ's sufferings were but once, though the virtue of them is always, both before and after; nor can he suffer more, or again, because of his power over death and the grave, and because he has effectually obtained what he suffered for: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself ; this is to be understood, not of his appearance in heaven, of which mention is made in ( Hebrews 9:24) but of his incarnation on earth, called an appearance; not as though his human nature was a mere phantom or apparition, for it was a real thing; or as if he was then manifested to be what he really was before; for before his incarnation he was not truly and actually man; but this is said with respect to the manifestation of his invisible deity; or of him as the Son of God in human nature; and in regard to the types of the old law, under which he was hid; and with respect to the prophecies of his coming; and it designs the same thing with his descent from heaven, and coming into this world, in which he appeared in fashion as a man, as a mean man, as an afflicted one; yea, he looked like a sinful man, bearing the infirmities and sins of his people; his appearance was but to a very few, and for a little time; and the time of it was, in the end of the world; the same with the last days; the last age of the world; the end of the Jewish economy; at the close of their civil and ecclesiastical state, according to ( Habakkuk 2:3) & so the Jews expect their Messiah ymyh Uql , at the end of days f204 : and this appearance was but once; there were many appearances of him in an human form, under the Old Testament dispensation; and there were many after his resurrection; but this is said to be but once, in opposition to the many types and sacrifices under the law, and agrees with his one oblation, and once suffering: the end of his appearance was, to put away sin; the filth of it, by his blood; the guilt of it, by his atoning sacrifice; and the punishment of it, by his sufferings and death, the penalty of the law; and in consequence of all this, the dominion of it by the power of his grace, and the very being of it hereafter: and this putting it away is signified by his bearing, carrying, and taking it away; by removing it as far as the east is from the west; by finishing and making an end of it; by crucifying the old man, destroying the body of sin, and by an utter disannulling and abolishing it, as a debt, and as a law; and all this is done by the sacrifice of himself; by the offering up of his body and soul an offering for sin; as in ( Hebrews 9:14).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 23-28 - It is evident that the sacrifices of Christ are infinitely better tha those of the law, which could neither procure pardon for sin, no impart power against it. Sin would still have been upon us, and have had dominion over us; but Jesus Christ, by one sacrifice, has destroye the works of the devil, that believers may be made righteous, holy, an happy. As no wisdom, learning, virtue, wealth, or power, can keep on of the human race from death, so nothing can deliver a sinner from being condemned at the day of judgment, except the atoning sacrifice of Christ; nor will one be saved from eternal punishment who despises of neglects this great salvation. The believer knows that his Redeeme liveth, and that he shall see him. Here is the faith and patience of the church, of all sincere believers. Hence is their continual praye as the fruit and expression of their faith, Even so come, Lord Jesus __________________________________________________________________
