has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.

EXPLANATION

Verse 2. Whom he hath appointed heir of all things. Heir is here not taken for one that succeeds another at his death, but for the same as Master or Lord. And though Christ be inseparably God and man, yet this applies to him, as man, because, as God, he was not constituted in time, but was always from eternity, Lord of all things, with the Father and the Holy Ghost: by whom also he made the world. That is, all created beings, and in such a manner, that all creatures were equally produced by the three divine persons. See John 1:3 and the annotations on that place. Witham.
