Answer: God
It says in Hebrews 1:1, "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets."
It is unknown who wrote the book of "Hebrews"; early Bible scholars tended to think it was Paul. However, unlike Paul's other letters, he does not mention himself in this epistle.

From Quiz: Hebrews, Huh? Hmm...
Answer: The name stuck after it was used by a second century theologian who thought the book was aimed at Jewish Christians.
The book has no title and no named author. It was originally attributed to Paul but its style makes this extraordinarily unlikely. Other candidates have included Apollos, Barnabas, Clement, Epaphras, Luke, Priscilla and Silas but none with any great conviction. The task is virtually impossible as there are no biographical details and insufficient clues to allow an accurate dating or even to know who or where the recipients are.
Tertullian was the second century theologian responsible for the book gaining its title. He championed the claim of Barnabas to be the author of, in his words, "The Epistle to the Hebrews". He assumed, from the Old Testament allusions and central idea of Jesus as celestial high priest, that the book was written to Jewish Christians. This has since been challenged by those who note that, despite this, there is the assumption that all of the old Jewish practices have been superseded. This, they claim, makes it more likely to be aimed at Gentile Christians as part of the ongoing debate about what constituted proper Christian practice.

Answer: tempted
I had to look up the word "succour" and I found that it means help.
This Bible verse is a reference to when Jesus was in the wilderness for 40 days and was tempted by Satan during that time.

Answer: Jesus
"For to which of the angels did God ever say,
'You are my Son; today I have become your Father'?
Or again, 'I will be his Father, and he will be my Son?'
And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says,
'Let all God's angels worship him.'"-Hebrews 1:5-6.
We see in these verses and additional references in Hebrews 1 that Jesus is higher than the angels. However, it does say in Hebrews 2 that Jesus was made lower than the angels for a little while so that he could taste death for everyone.

Answer: Enoch
This can be found in Hebrews 11:5-6. Enoch and Elijah are the two who never died, but oddly Enoch was the one mentioned in this chapter.
The Bible doesn't say how Enoch was taken; it just says that God took him away and that he was no more.
Elijah was taken to Heaven in a chariot of fire in 2 Kings 2. Elisha was called to be a prophet by God through Elijah and, after Elijah was taken, he continued the work of God in Elijah's place.
Methuselah was the person who was recorded in Genesis as living the longest; having lived 969 years before his death.

Answer: from the foundation of the world.
The last part of the third verse says, "...although the works were finished from the foundation of the world." In other words, God's work is already completed, but we, as actors upon a stage, must go through our lines and be given the opportunity to make our choices freely.

Answer: a two-edged sword
It says in Hebrews 4:12, "For the Word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
This verse is very visual as it shows God's word and the strength it possesses.

Answer: Glory and honor
"But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone."-Hebrews 2:9.
Christians believe that about 2000 years ago Jesus came to earth. He lived a perfect life and at the age of 33 he died on a cross. Three days later he rose from the grave, conquering death forever. According to Christian belief he's still alive in Heaven and is crowned with glory and honor.
