Hebrews 2:5

Heb. 2:5. For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.

In the following Blank Bible note Edwards sees this verse as indication that Christ himself was the greatest apologetic argument:

For unto the angels] The mentioning in the foregoing verse God's bringing those that heard witness by signs and wonders and diverse miracles and gifts of the Holy Ghost, leads the apostle to observe this honour that Christ has above the angels that God had put in subjection to him the world to come.

Whereof we speak] In these words the apostle probably has reference to where he had spoken before Hebrews 1:2 of Christ's being appointed heir of all things and verse 13 of God's saying to him, Sit on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.

World to come] See Bp Kidder's Dem[onstration] Part 3, pp. 162-165. See Miscell. B. 9 p. 1, etc.

Note Edwards' use of miracles here. The main point stressed throughout this long paragraph is that "miracles," "wonders" and the like are in the Bible, witnesses not as declarations but as evidence or proof. This is in line with what we have seen in the opening sections of this volume.
