God's Supreme Revelation

1God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,

2has 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;

3who being the radiance of His glory and the exact expression of His substance, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

4having become so much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.

The Son Exalted Above Angels

5For to which of the angels did He ever say:
“You are My Son,
today I have begotten You”?
And again:
“I will be a Father to Him,
and He shall be a Son to Me”?

6But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says:
“Let all the angels of God worship Him.”

7And of the angels He says,
“He who makes His angels spirits
and His ministers flames of fire.”

8But of the Son He says:
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;
the scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your Kingdom.

9You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
with the oil of gladness above Your companions.”

10And:
“You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of Your hands.

11They shall perish, but You continue;
and they all shall grow old like a garment;

12and like a cloak You will roll them up, and they shall be changed.
But You are the same, and Your years shall not fail.”

13But to which of the angels has He ever said:
“Sit at My right hand,
till I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet”?

14Are they not all ministering spirits being sent out to minister for the sake of those who shall be heirs of salvation?
