Hebrews 10:27 Commentary and Bible Study

‘A certain fearful looking for of judgment’ could be translated, ‘a certain fearful expectation of judgment’. The trouble is that the wilful sinner, even if he is a professing Christian, does not actually feel that fear, and he is not expecting judgement. Do not misunderstand the verse. It is written from the believer’s point of view, from the writer's point of view. As far as a Christian is concerned, there is nothing for that man or woman but a fearful expectation of judgement. And yet he is not afraid. He has decided he is going to heaven, so he does not have to live the Christian life now. He does not have to be conscientious now, so the description is a description of what awaits him, but he doesn't share those feelings. He is going blindfolded into it. For us looking at what is happening to him, it is fearful: we are about to witness an eternal soul being devoured.
