1In the past God spoke to our ancestors many times and in many ways through the prophets,G2316G4181G2532G4187G2980G3819G3962G1722G43962but in these last days he has spoken to us through his Son. He is the one through whom God created the universe, the one whom God has chosen to possess all things at the end.G2980G1909G5130G2078G2250G2980G2254G1722G5207G3739G5087G2818G3956G1223G3739G2532G4160G1653He reflects the brightness of God's glory and is the exact likeness of God's own being, sustaining the universe with his powerful word. After achieving forgiveness for the sins of all human beings, he sat down in heaven at the right side of God, the Supreme Power.G3739G5607G541G1391G2532G5481G846G5287G5037G5342G3956G4487G846G1411G4160G2512G1223G1438G4160G2512G2257G266G2523G1722G1188G3172G1722G5308
The Greatness of God’s Son
4The Son was made greater than the angels, just as the name that God gave him is greater than theirs.G1096G5118G2909G32G3745G2816G1313G3686G3844G8465For God never said to any of his angels, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father." Nor did God say about any angel, "I will be his Father, and he will be my Son."G1063G5101G32G2036G4218G4771G1488G3450G5207G4594G1080G1473G1080G4571G2532G3825G1473G2071G1519G846G3962G2532G846G2071G1519G3427G52076But when God was about to send his first-born Son into the world, he said, "All of God's angels must worship him."G1161G3825G3752G1521G4416G1519G3625G3004G2532G4352G3956G32G2316G4352G8467But about the angels God said, "God makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire."G2532G4314G3303G32G3004G4160G846G32G4151G2532G846G3011G5395G44428About the Son, however, God said: "Your kingdom, O God, will last forever and ever! You rule over your people with justice.G1161G4314G5207G4675G2362G2316G1519G165G165G4464G2118G4464G4675G9329You love what is right and hate what is wrong. That is why God, your God, has chosen you and has given you the joy of an honor far greater than he gave to your companions."G25G1343G2532G3404G458G1223G5124G2316G4675G2316G5548G4571G1637G20G3844G4675G335310He also said, "You, Lord, in the beginning created the earth, and with your own hands you made the heavens.G2532G4771G2962G2596G746G2311G1093G2532G3772G1526G2041G4675G549511They will disappear, but you will remain; they will all wear out like clothes.G846G622G1161G4771G1265G2532G3956G3822G5613G244012You will fold them up like a coat, and they will be changed like clothes. But you are always the same, and your life never ends."G2532G5616G4018G1667G846G1667G2532G236G1161G4771G1488G846G2532G4675G2094G1587G3756G158713God never said to any of his angels: "Sit here at my right side until I put your enemies as a footstool under your feet."G1161G4314G5101G32G2046G4218G2521G1537G3450G1188G302G2193G5087G4675G2190G4675G5286G422814What are the angels, then? They are spirits who serve God and are sent by him to help those who are to receive salvation.G1526G3780G3956G3010G4151G649G1519G1248G1223G3195G2816G4991
