But to the Son, He says, "Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever, a scepter of righteousness, the scepter of Your Kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. For this reason, God, Your God, has anointed You from among all your companions with the oil of joy."

Chapter 1

In many ways and at many times in the past, God spoke to our fathers through the prophets, but in these the Last Days He has spoken to us through His Son, whom He determined to be the inheritor of everything, the Son, by whom He made the worlds,the Son, who is the very brightness of His Glory, and the very image of His Person, and the bearer of all things, carrying them by the Word of his power. When He, the Son, had Himself accomplished a cleansing of our sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Greatness on High.

This One, then, is to be considered inestimably better than angels having been bequeathed a title more excellent than they. Did He say, at any time, to an angel, "You are My Son, today I have become your father", or "I will be his Father and he shall be My Son," or, as happened when He brought the Firstborn into the world, "Let all the angels of God worship Him"?

But, rather, of angels, He says, "He makes His angles spirits, and His servants a flaming fire." But to the Son, He says, "Your throne, O God, is for ever and ever, a scepter of righteousness, the scepter of Your Kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. For this reason, God, Your God, has anointed You from among all your companions with the oil of joy."

And, "You, Lord, in the beginning of all, set down earth's foundations. The universe is the work of Your hands. They shall perish; but You remain. As a garment they all wear out. And as a cloak, You will fold them up. They will be changed but You remain the same, Your years shall have no end."

But to any angel, did He say at any time, "Sit at my right hand, until I make Your enemies a footstool for You?" Aren't they all spirits of service, sent out to serve those who will be heirs of salvation?
