1 God’s Supreme Revelation God, who at various times and Num. 12:6, 8; Joel 2:28 in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,
2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;
3 John 1:14 who being the brightness of His glory and the express 2 Cor. 4:4; Col. 1:15 image of His person, and Col. 1:17 upholding all things by the word of His power, (Heb. 7:27) when He had by Himself purged our sins, Ps. 110:1 sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
4 having become so much better than the angels, as Is. 9:6, 7; Luke 1:32, 33; (Phil. 2:9, 10) He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 The Son Exalted Above Angels For to which of the angels did He ever say: Ps. 2:7; Acts 13:33; Heb. 5:5 “You are My Son, Today I have begotten You”? And again: 2 Sam. 7:14 “I will be to Him a Father, And He shall be to Me a Son”?
6 But when He again brings Ps. 89:27; (Rom. 8:29) the firstborn into the world, He says: Deut. 32:43, LXX, DSS; Ps. 97:7;1 Pet. 3:22; Rev. 5:11–13 “Let all the angels of God worship Him.”
7 And of the angels He says: Ps. 104:4 “Who makes His angels spirits And His ministers a flame of fire.”
8 But to the Son He says: Ps. 45:6, 7 “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, Is. 61:1, 3 has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”
10 And: Ps. 102:25–27 “You, Lord , in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.
11 (Is. 34:4) They will perish, but You remain; And Is. 50:9; 51:6; Heb. 8:13 they will all grow old like a garment;
12 Like a cloak You will fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the Heb. 13:8 same, And Your years will not fail.”
13 But to which of the angels has He ever said: Ps. 110:1; Matt. 22:44; Heb. 1:3 “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”?
14 Ps. 103:20; Dan. 7:10 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will Rom. 8:17 inherit salvation?
