Verses 5-14 establish from Scripture why the Son's name and status is greater than that of the angels. The angels are fundamentally servants- ministering spirits who worship God and the Son and who assist those who are about to inherit salvation (i.e. believers). The Son has a superior name to the angels (v. 4) because: • He is the true Davidic king and heir of God’s covenant promises (v. 5; cf. Psalm 2:7; 2 Sam. 7:14), • The angels are commanded to worship him (as they worship Yahweh) (v. 6; cf. Deut. 32:43) • The angels are ministering spirits (v. 7; Psalm 103:14), while the Son is addressed as theos, ruling his kingdom with a scepter of justice forever (v. 8; Ps 45). • The Son is the Lord of creation who remains the same forever while the earth and heaven will wear out (vv. 10-12; cf. Ps 102:25-27; Heb 13:7. “Jesus Christ is the same…”) • It is only to Jesus, and not to any angel, that the Father has ever commanded “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool” (v. 13; Ps 110:1). This is Jesus’ unique inheritance as the resurrected and ascended Lord of heaven.
