Hebrews 2:5
Hebrews 2:55For it is not to angels that He has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.
"He has not subjected the inhabited earth to come, about which we are speaking, to angels" (NWT). The Watchtower reads this as forecasting the post-Armageddon paradise earth — a future age in which mankind, restored to perfection, will rule under Christ. Angels are explicitly excluded from rulership of that world to come; the implicit positive subject is humanity (the 144,000 with Christ, the great crowd as subjects).
is the question the chapter is answering: who governs the world to come? The author's reply unfolds across verses 6-9 — not angels, but the Son who took on humanity and is now crowned with glory and honour. The "world to come" begins breaking in at Christ's enthronement (, 1:8) and reaches consummation at his return. The Watchtower's purely future reading misses the inaugurated-eschatology weight of the passage: the promised future is already partly present in the reigning Christ. Pair with (vocative "your throne, O God, is forever") and ("we see Jesus crowned").
