Hebrews:1
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Long ago on many occasions and in many ways God spoke to our fathers through the prophets .
*
He has in these last days spoken to us by his Son ,
whom he has appointed heir of all things ,
through whom he made the ages .
*
God
s Son is the brightness of his glory ,
and the express image of his being .
He sustains all things by his powerful word .
After Jesus purged our sins ,
he sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high .
*
He has become better than the angels and has inherited a more excellent name than theirs .
*
To which of the angels did God ever say at any time : »
You are my son ;
this day I have begotten you «?
And again : »
I will be to him a father ,
and he shall be to me a son «?
*
And again :
when he brings the firstborn into the world ,
he says : »
Let all the angels of God pay him homage .«
*
Of the angels he says : »
He makes his angels spirits ,
and his ministers a flame of fire .« (
Psalm strkjv @
104:4 )
*
But he says to the Son : »
God is your throne forever and ever .:
A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom . (
Psalm strkjv @
45:6 ,
7 )
* »
You have loved righteousness ,
and hated iniquity .
Therefore God ,
your God ,
has anointed you with the oil of gladness more than your companions .«
*
And ,
You ,
Lord ,
in the beginning have laid the foundation of the earth ;
and the heavens are the works of your hands . (
Psalm strkjv @
102:25 )
* »
They will perish but you remain .
They will all grow old like a garment .
* »
Just as a coat you fold them up ,
and they will be changed :
but you are the same ,
and your years will never run out .«
*
To which of the angels did he say at any time : »
Sit on my right hand ,
until I make your enemies your footstool «? (
Psalm strkjv @
110:1 )
*
Are they not all ministering spirits ,
sent to minister for those who will be heirs of salvation ?
