Question 9.-Please explain Heb. 2:2 :" The word spoken by angels." S. H.

Answer.-The phrase means the law, which was given through angelic instrumentality. (Acts 7:53; Gal. 3:19.)In Psalms 68:17, we are told they were present at Sinai. They were God's ministers to execute His judgments, and were therefore fittingly present at the giving of the law. In the first chapter of Hebrews we see the place occupied by them,- a place of exalted privilege, but infinitely below Him who is the object of their worship, 5:6. The "word spoken by angels" is contrasted with the "great salvation" spoken by the Lord and His apostles, and confirmed by the Holy Ghost. The thought is, If disobedience of the law was most surely punished, how much more will a neglect of salvation through grace result in destruction.
