Hebrews 1:5-14

The Son Superior to Angels

For to which of the angels did God ever say,

“You are my Son;

today I have become your Father”1:5 Psalm 2:7?

Or again,

“I will be his Father,

and he will be my Son”1:5 2 Samuel 7:14; 1 Chron. 17:13?

And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says,

“Let all God’s angels worship him.”1:6 Deut. 32:43 (see Dead Sea Scrolls and Septuagint)

In speaking of the angels he says,

“He makes his angels spirits,

and his servants flames of fire.”1:7 Psalm 104:4

But about the Son he says,

“Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever;

a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom.

You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;

therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions

by anointing you with the oil of joy.”1:9 Psalm 45:6,7

He also says,

“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,

and the heavens are the work of your hands.

They will perish, but you remain;

they will all wear out like a garment.

You will roll them up like a robe;

like a garment they will be changed.

But you remain the same,

and your years will never end.”1:12 Psalm 102:25-27

To which of the angels did God ever say,

“Sit at my right hand

until I make your enemies

a footstool for your feet”1:13 Psalm 110:1?

Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
