¹ In the past, God spoke to our people through the prophets. He spoke at many times. He spoke in different ways. ² But in these last days, he has spoken to us through his Son. He is the one whom God appointed to receive all things. God made everything through him. ³ The Son is the gleaming brightness of God's glory. He is the exact likeness of God's being. He uses his powerful word to hold all things together. He provided the way for people to be made pure from sin. Then he sat down at the right hand of the King, the Majesty in heaven. ⁴ So he became higher than the angels. The name he received is more excellent than theirs. ⁵ ⁶ ⁷ ⁸ But here is what he says about the Son. "You are God. Your throne will last for ever and ever. Your kingdom will be ruled by what is right. ⁹ ¹⁰ He also says, "Lord, in the beginning you made the earth secure. You placed it on its foundations. The heavens are the work of your hands. ¹¹ They will pass away. But you remain. They will all wear out like a piece of clothing. ¹² ¹³ ¹⁴ All angels are spirits who serve. God sends them to serve those who will receive salvation.
