Hebrews 1:11

King James Version (1769)

11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
Untruth

A common misinterpretation of Hebrews 1:11 is to view it as denying any future renewal of creation, such as the new heavens and new earth promised elsewhere in Scripture, when in fact it describes the current cosmos's inevitable decay without negating God's transformative power; another error is to apply it literally against modern cosmology to dismiss scientific evidence of the universe's age or expansion, ignoring the poetic imagery of perishability relative to God's timelessness, or to downplay Christ's deity by overlooking the passage's application of Old Testament language about Yahweh directly to the Son.

Truth

Hebrews 1:11 highlights the eternal immutability of Christ in contrast to the transient nature of the created universe, drawing from Psalm 102 to affirm that while the heavens will perish, wear out like old garments, and be changed, the Son remains unchanging and everlasting, underscoring his divine superiority and permanence as the uncreated Creator who outlasts all he has made.
