Hebrews Chapter 1
Speaking Through the Son
1 Long ago God spoke to our ancestors by prophets in many parts and different ways. 2 In these last days he has spoken to us in a Son. He made the universe through him and made him heir of everything. 3 He’s the radiance of God’s glory, the exact image of his nature, and upholds everything by his powerful word. When he’d made purification for sins, he sat down on the right side of the Majesty on high, 4 and became as much better than angels as he inherited a better name than they have.
Heb 1:1-4
The Son’s Superiority over Angels
5 To what angel did God ever say,
“You’re my Son; I’ve begotten you today” [Ps 2:7]
or,
“I’ll be a Father to him; he’ll be a son to me” [2 Sam 7:14; 1 Ch 17:13]?
6 When he brings the Firstborn into the world, he says,
“All God’s angels are to worship him” [Deut 32:43 LXX].
7 He says in regard to angels,
“Who makes his angels spirits
and his ministers flames of fire” [Ps 104:4].
Heb 1:5-7
8 But he says to the Son,
“Your throne, God, is forevermore;
the scepter of your kingdom is a righteous scepter.
9 You’ve loved goodness and hated lawlessness,
so God has anointed you
with greater gladness than your companions” [Ps 45:6-7];
10and,
“In the beginning, LORD, you founded the earth
and made the skies.
11 They’ll perish, but you’ll remain;
they’ll get old like a robe;
12 you’ll fold them up like a cloak
and change them like a robe.
But you’re the same;
your years won’t end” [Ps 102:25-27].
13 What angel did he ever tell,
“Sit on my right hand
till I make your enemies your footstool” [Ps 110:1]?
14 Aren’t they ministering spirits that he sends to help the heirs of salvation?
