So he became superior to the angels, just as the name he inherited is more excellent than theirs.
He did not say these things TO angels:
He did not say these things TO angels:
For to which of the angels did he 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?
God is the one speaking here in the Bold - quotes written from Old Testament Prophets.
God has fulfilled this for us, their children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second Psalm:
You are my Son;
today I have become your Father.
Quoting Psalm 2:7 =
I will declare the Lord’s decree.
He said to me, “You are my Son;
today I have become your Father.
I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will discipline him with a rod of men and blows from mortals.
I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will not remove my faithful love from him as I removed it from the one who was before you.
Again, when he brings his firstborn into the world, he says,
And let all God’s angels worship him.
He is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn over all creation.
He is also the head of the body, the church;
he is the beginning,
the firstborn from the dead,
so that he might come to have
first place in everything.
and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead and the ruler of the kings of the earth.
To him who loves us and has set us free from our sins by his blood,
Rejoice, you nations, concerning his people,
for he will avenge the blood of his servants.
He will take vengeance on his adversaries;
he will purify his land and his people.
Song of Moses, speaks of the coming Messiah, the promise!
All who serve carved images,
those who boast in worthless idols, will be put to shame.
All the gods must worship him.
He did say this about the angels:
He did say this about the angels:
And about the angels he says:
He makes his angels winds,
and his servants a fiery flame,
and making the winds his messengers,
flames of fire his servants.
What do angels do? Well another name for angels is messengers. They are there to serve the Lord in the spiritual realm. One way they serve is the delivering of messages from God to the people God chooses.
To the SON, Jesus, He says this:
To the SON, Jesus, He says this:
but to the Son:
Your throne, God,
is forever and ever,
and the scepter of your kingdom
is a scepter of justice.
You have loved righteousness
and hated lawlessness;
this is why God, your God,
has anointed you
with the oil of joy
beyond your companions.
Your throne, God, is forever and ever;
the scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of justice.
You love righteousness and hate wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of joy
more than your companions.
The Spirit of the Lord God is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives
and freedom to the prisoners;
to provide for those who mourn in Zion;
to give them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,
festive oil instead of mourning,
and splendid clothes instead of despair.
And they will be called righteous trees,
planted by the Lord
to glorify him.
For this reason God highly exalted him
and gave him the name
that is above every name,
And Continuing His message to the SON
And Continuing His message to the SON
And:
In the beginning, Lord,
you established the earth,
and the heavens are the works of your hands;
they will perish, but you remain.
They will all wear out like clothing;
you will roll them up like a cloak,
and they will be changed like clothing.
But you are the same,
and your years will never end.
Long ago you established the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
In truth, the Lord God will help me;
who will condemn me?
Indeed, all of them will wear out like a garment;
a moth will devour them.
Look up to the heavens,
and look at the earth beneath;
for the heavens will vanish like smoke,
the earth will wear out like a garment,
and its inhabitants will die like gnats.
But my salvation will last forever,
and my righteousness will never be shattered.
Long ago you established the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
They will perish, but you will endure;
all of them will wear out like clothing.
You will change them like a garment,
and they will pass away.
But you are the same,
and your years will never end.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
And
Now to which of the angels has he ever said:
Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies your footstool?
When they had brought the kings to him, Joshua summoned all the men of Israel and said to the military commanders who had accompanied him, “Come here and put your feet on the necks of these kings.” So the commanders came forward and put their feet on their necks.
This is the declaration of the Lord to my Lord:
“Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies your footstool.”
The Lord declared to my Lord,
‘Sit at my right hand
until I put your enemies under your feet’?
For it was not David who ascended into the heavens, but he himself says:
The Lord declared to my Lord,
‘Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies your footstool.’
He is now waiting until his enemies are made his footstool.
Why? Because angels have a duty:
Why? Because angels have a duty:
Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve those who are going to inherit salvation?
Bless the Lord,
all his angels of great strength,
who do his word,
obedient to his command.
“See to it that you don’t despise one of these little ones, because I tell you that in heaven their angels continually view the face of my Father in heaven.
After he was perfected, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him,
Angels minister those who are going to inherit salvation!
Who is that?
God can send angel armies to protect his people. Why do you think this is written in the Letter to the Hebrews?
Put it all together!
Put it all together!
