Yesterday
(prop. , e’mesh; but frequently , aforetime; ) is sometimes used in Heb. to denote all time past, however distant; as today denotes time present, but of a larger extent than the very day on which one speaks. If the ox was wont to push with his horn in time past” (Exo 21:29; Heb. yesterday). “And it came to pass, when all that knew him before time (Heb. yesterday); whereas thou camest but yesterday” (2Sa 15:20). “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Heb 13:8). His doctrine, like his person, admits of no change; his truths are invariable. With him there is neither yesterday nor tomorrow, but one continued today. Job says (Job 8:9), We are but of yesterday, and know nothing; because our days upon earth are a shadow.”

Yesterday
In Scripture language this expression doth not simply mean the day which preceded the present, but sometimes refers to the eternity of ages past. Thus, the Lord Jesus Christ is said to be the same “yesterday, and to-day, and, for ever.” (Heb 13:8) That is, the yesterday, before creation; to-day, meaning the whole period of time from the creation, to the consummation of all things; and for ever, including the whole eternity to come, when time shall be no more. Sweet thought to the believer in Jesus, both as it concerns the nature and essence of Christ, and as it refers to the everlasting sameness and unceasing efficacy of his redemption and love to his church and people! Amen.
