Hebrews 1:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 1:4

2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the¹ worlds;

3 ^awho being the brightness of His glory and the express ^bimage of His person, and ^cupholding all things by the word of His power, ^dwhen He had by Himself purged our sins, ^esat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

4 having become so much better than the angels, as ^aHe has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

The Son Exalted Above Angels

5 For to which of the angels did He ever say:
^a“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You”? And again:
^b“I will be to Him a Father,
And He shall be to Me a Son”?

6 But when He again brings ^athe firstborn into the world, He says:
^b“Let all the angels of God worship Him.”

7 And of the angels He says:
^a“Who makes His angels spirits
And His ministers a flame of fire.”
