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"? 6And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says,
"Let all God's angels worship him." 7In speaking of the angels he says,
"He makes his angels winds,
his servants flames of fire." 8But about the Son he says,
"Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever,
and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.
9You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
by anointing you with the oil of joy."10He also says,
"In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
11They will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
12You 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." 13To which of the angels did God ever say,
"Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet"? 14Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
The author of Hebrew quotes eight different Old Testament scriptures to talk about the angels and the Messiah...The author often mentions angels in the first chapter...Angels were respected, honored, and maybe sometimes idolized when this book was written...The author reminds us that Jesus is superior to the angels, with these quotes of scripture...He is using the scripture to describe the Messiah and giving us a reminder, an encouragement that Jesus is both divine and man...No one is like Him...
The author tells us in the first, second and last scripture quotes that the angels were never told they were the Son of God, or I will be His Father, and You will be My Son...The last quote of chapter one says God said the Messiah would sit at My right hand, but He never told the angels that (they could sit at His right hand)...
Jesus is divine...He was revealed to all in the flesh...He walked on earth...He loves righteousness and hates wickedness...He sits at the right hand of our God...
We are told that God makes angels...Angels are thus created, like man was created...The angels protect God's people and minister to our needs...The angels serve and honor God...
We learn Jesus is divine...Second we learn that the angels will worship Him...Third we are told the angels are made and thus created like man, but Jesus being divine is eternal...He was, will, and always have a throne that will last forever and ever...He will forever remain the same...His years will last forever...Fourth God set Jesus above His companions, by His Almighty anointing of being the Son...
No created thing and no angel or man is like the Messiah...Jesus is the unique, firstborn, Son of God...No one is like Him...
