God Spoke Through His Son
5 This is because God never said to any of the angels,
Today I have become your Father.” Psalm 2:7
Nor did God say of any angel,
and he will be my Son.” 2 Samuel 7:14
6 And when God brings his firstborn Son into the world, he says,
7 This is what God said about the angels:
He makes his servants become like flames of fire.” Psalm 104:4
8 But God said this about his Son:
You will rule your kingdom with fairness.
9 You love right and hate evil,
so God has chosen you from among your friends;
he has set you apart with much joy.” Psalm 45:6–7
10 God also says,
and your hands made the skies.
11 They will be destroyed, but you will remain.
They will all wear out like clothes.
12 You will fold them like a coat.
And, like clothes, you will change them.
But you never change,
and your life will never end.” Psalm 102:25–27
13 And God never said this to an angel:
until I put your enemies under your control.”[b]Psalm 110:1
14 All the angels are spirits who serve God and are sent to help those who will receive salvation.
