Hebrews 9:26

Heb. 9:26. For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world; but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

Blank Bible:

[the end of the world] See Bp. Kidder's Dem. - 3 p. 162-165. See this book p. 265: [(?) Heb. 9:26 at the end of the world] At the conclusion of the ages. So (?) is most exactly rendered, meaning the last of the dispensations God ever intended to give mankind.

The "end of the world" is more precisely defined in The History of Redemption.

2. The whole time of this period is sometimes in Scripture called, the end of the world as, 1 Corinthians 10:11, "Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come." And the Apostle in the ninth [chapter] of Hebrews, twenty-sixth [verse] in this expression of "the end of the world" means the whole of the gospel day, from the birth of Christ to the finishing of the day of judgment, "But now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself." This space of time may well be called the end of the world, for this whole time is taken up in bringing things to their great end and issue, to that great issue that God had been preparing the way for in all the great dispensations of providence from the first fall of man to this time. Before things were in a kind of preparatory state, but now they are in a finishing state. 'Tis the winding up of things that is all this while accomplishing. And end is now brought to the former carnal worldly state of things, which by degrees vanishes, and a spiritual state begins to be established, and so to be established more and more. First an end is brought to the former state of the church, which may be called its worldly state, the state wherein it was subject to carnal ordinances and the rudiments of the world. And then an end is brought to the Jewish state in the destruction of their city and country. And then after that an end is brought to the old heathen empire in Constantine's time, which is another and further degree of the winding up and finishing of the world. And the next step is the finishing of Satan's visible kingdom in the world, upon the fall of Antichrist, and the calling of the Jews. And last will come the destruction of the outward frame of the world itself, at the conclusion of the day of judgment.

But the world is all this while, as it were, a-finishing, though it comes [to] an end by several steps and degrees. Heaven and earth began to shake in order to a dissolution, according to the prophecy of Haggai before Christ came, that so only those things that cannot be shaken may remain, i.e. that those things that are to come to an end may come to an end, and that only those things may remain that are to remain to all eternity.
