This concept is rooted in the biblical understanding of the temporal nature of the physical world, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/102-25.htm">Psalm 102:25-26</a>, which is quoted here in Hebrews. The idea of perishing aligns with the broader biblical narrative of a fallen creation awaiting renewal (<a href="/romans/8-20.htm">Romans 8:20-22</a>). The transitory nature of creation contrasts with the eternal nature of God, emphasizing His sovereignty and unchanging character.<p><b>but You remain</b><br>This phrase highlights the eternal and unchanging nature of God, specifically referring to Jesus Christ in the context of <a href="/hebrews/1.htm">Hebrews 1</a>. The immutability of God is a central theme in Scripture, underscoring His faithfulness and reliability (<a href="/malachi/3-6.htm">Malachi 3:6</a>, <a href="/james/1-17.htm">James 1:17</a>). In the context of Hebrews, this serves to affirm the superiority of Christ over creation and the angels, as He is the same "yesterday and today and forever" (<a href="/hebrews/13-8.htm">Hebrews 13:8</a>). This eternal nature is a key attribute of divinity, setting Christ apart as the eternal Son of God.<p><b>they will all wear out like a garment</b><br>This imagery of wearing out like a garment conveys the idea of aging and obsolescence, common in the ancient world where clothing was a valuable yet perishable commodity. The metaphor suggests that just as garments become old and worn, so too will the heavens and the earth. This reflects the biblical theme of the temporary nature of the current creation, which will be replaced by a new heaven and a new earth (<a href="/revelation/21.htm">Revelation 21:1</a>). The use of this metaphor underscores the contrast between the created order and the eternal, unchanging nature of Christ, reinforcing His divine authority and permanence.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god_the_father.htm">God the Father</a></b><br>The eternal and unchanging Creator, who remains constant even as creation changes and perishes.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a></b><br>The Son, through whom God has spoken in these last days, and who is the exact representation of God's being.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/c/creation.htm">Creation</a></b><br>The heavens and the earth, which are subject to change and decay, contrasting with the eternal nature of God.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_author_of_hebrews.htm">The Author of Hebrews</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed to Paul, though the exact authorship is uncertain, writing to Jewish Christians to affirm the supremacy of Christ.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/j/jewish_christians.htm">Jewish Christians</a></b><br>The original audience of the letter, who were familiar with the Old Testament and needed encouragement to hold fast to their faith in Christ.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_eternal_nature_of_god.htm">The Eternal Nature of God</a></b><br>God is unchanging and eternal, unlike the created world.
