The
Son Superior To Angels
In
the past
God
spoke to our forefathers through the prophets
At
many times and in various ways,
2
BUT IN THESE LAST DAYS
(The
last two days of time)
HE
HAS SPOKEN TO US BY HIS SON,
WHOM
HE APPOINTED HEIR OF ALL THINGS,
AND
THROUGH WHOM HE MADE THE UNIVERSE.
3
THE 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.
4
SO HE BECAME AS MUCH SUPERIOR TO THE ANGELS
AS
THE NAME HE HAS INHERITED IS SUPERIOR TO THEIRS.
5
For 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”?
6
And again, when God brings His Firstborn into the World,
He
says,
'Let
all God's Angels worship Him.”
7
In speaking of the Angels He says,
'He
makes His Angels winds,
His
Servants 'Flames of Fire.'
8
But about the Son He says,
'YOUR
THRONE, O GOD, WILL LAST FOR EVER AND EVER
AND
RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL BE THE SCEPTER OF YOUR KINGDOM
9
YOU HAVE LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS
AND
HATED WICKEDNESS;
THEREFORE
GOD, YOUR GOD,
HAS
SET YOU ABOVE YOUR COMPANIONS
BY
ANOINTING YOU WITH THE OIL OF JOY.'
10
He also says,
'IN
THE BEGINNING, O LORD,
YOU
LAID THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH,
AND
THE HEAVENS ARE THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS.
11
THEY WILL PERISH,
BU
YOU WILL REMAIN;
THEY
WILL WEAR OUT LIKE A GARMENT.
12
YOU WILL ROLL THEM UP LIKE A ROBE;
LIKE
A GARMENT THEY WILL BE CHANGED.
BUT
YOU WILL REMAIN THE SAME,
AND
YOUR YEARS WILL NEVER END.'
13
To which of the Angels did God ever say,
'SIT
AT MY RIGHT HAND
UNTIL
I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES
A
FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET'?
14
Are not the Angels Ministering spirits
Sent
to Serve those who will Inherit Salvation?
(Hebrews
1)
