What Does Hebrews 1:11 Mean?
The psalm continues to contrast the made world with its Maker. The heavens and earth will one day perish; they will grow old like a worn garment. But the Son remains, outlasting everything He has made.
All that seems most permanent, the sky above and the ground beneath, is passing, while the Son endures. For hearts anxious about a world that decays and a life that fades, this is an anchor. What grows old around us cannot finally fail us, because the One we trust does not age, does not weaken, and does not pass away.
Hebrews 1:11 in the Original Language
diameno (διαμένω), 'remainest' -- to continue and abide unchanged through every passing thing.
