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?
