1In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,G2316G4181G2532G4187G2980G3819G3962G1722G43962but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.G2980G1909G5130G2078G2250G2980G2254G1722G5207G3739G5087G2818G3956G1223G3739G2532G4160G1653The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.G3739G5607G541G1391G2532G5481G846G5287G5037G5342G3956G4487G846G1411G4160G2512G1223G1438G4160G2512G2257G266G2523G1722G1188G3172G1722G53084So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.G1096G5118G2909G32G3745G2816G1313G3686G3844G846
The Son Superior to Angels
5For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father"? Or again, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son"?G1063G5101G32G2036G4218G4771G1488G3450G5207G4594G1080G1473G1080G4571G2532G3825G1473G2071G1519G846G3962G2532G846G2071G1519G3427G52076And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him."G1161G3825G3752G1521G4416G1519G3625G3004G2532G4352G3956G32G2316G4352G8467In speaking of the angels he says, "He makes his angels winds, his servants flames of fire."G2532G4314G3303G32G3004G4160G846G32G4151G2532G846G3011G5395G44428But about the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever, and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.G1161G4314G5207G4675G2362G2316G1519G165G165G4464G2118G4464G4675G9329You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy."G25G1343G2532G3404G458G1223G5124G2316G4675G2316G5548G4571G1637G20G3844G4675G335310He also says, "In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.G2532G4771G2962G2596G746G2311G1093G2532G3772G1526G2041G4675G549511They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment.G846G622G1161G4771G1265G2532G3956G3822G5613G244012You 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."G2532G5616G4018G1667G846G1667G2532G236G1161G4771G1488G846G2532G4675G2094G1587G3756G158713To which of the angels did God ever say, "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet"?G1161G4314G5101G32G2046G4218G2521G1537G3450G1188G302G2193G5087G4675G2190G4675G5286G422814Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?G1526G3780G3956G3010G4151G649G1519G1248G1223G3195G2816G4991
