Commentary on Hebrews 2:5
The 'world to come' (Greek 'oikoumenēn tēn mellousan') refers to the age inaugurated by Christ's first coming and consummated at His return. Angels do not rule this new order - humanity does, through Christ the second Adam. Reformed eschatology sees this as the restoration of humanity's original dominion mandate (Genesis 1:28), fulfilled in Christ and extended to believers through union with Him.
