Throughout the course of human history God revealed Himself to our forebears, by the prophets, and in different other ways. However, in these last days He has spoken to us by His only begotten Son, by Whom He created the entire universe and everything in it, and to Whom He awarded ownership of all that exists.
The Son is the very essence of the Father’s glory, and the exact representation and expression of His person, and He sustains all things by His Word. After He provided Himself to be the sacrificial offering for sin, He sat down at the right hand of the only God and Potentate in heaven. Thus, proving He is as superior to the angels, as His Name is superior to their names.
For to which of his holy angels did God ever utter the Words,
“You are My Son. This day I have become Your Father.”
Or again,
“I will be His Father. And He will be My Son.”
And again, when God sent His only Son into the world, and clothed Him with flesh, He says,
“Let all the hosts of heaven worship Him.”
In regard to these angels, He says,
“He has made His angels spirits, and His servants flames of fire.”
However, He says the following about His beloved Son:
“Your throne, oh God is everlasting in the heavens, a scepter of holiness is the scepter of Your Kingdom.
“You have loved holiness, and You have hated wickedness. Therefore, Your dear Abba Father has appointed You above Your peers, and anointed You with the oil of gladness more than them.”
He also says,
“In the beginning, Lord, You installed the foundations of the earth, and You formed the heavens out of nothing. They will disintegrate in a hot white heat, but You remain. They will wear out as a piece of clothing. You will roll them up as You would a garment. You are the I AM of all eternity and remain the same. You will never grow old.”
Did God ever look at one of His angels, and say,
“Sit here next to me, ‘til I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.”
Haven’t the angels been created to serve the children of God?
