The Son Superior to Angels 5For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son; today I have become your Father” Psalm 2:7 ? Or again, “I will be his Father, and he will be my Son” 2 Samuel 7:14; 1 Chron. 17:13 ?

6And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.” Deut. 32:43 (see Dead Sea Scrolls and Septuagint)

7In speaking of the angels he says, “He makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire.” Psalm 104:4

8But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice 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.” Psalm 45:6,7

10He also says, “In the beginning, 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.” Psalm 102:25-27

13To which of the angels did God ever say, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet” Psalm 110:1 ? 14Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
