Hebrews 1

1. God spoke to our ancestors in every way, shape and form* through the prophets of old,* and in these last days,* He spoke to  us through His Son,
2. To Whom was consecrated the inheritance to everything, and by Whom He created the universes,

3. "So as they may be the yeast of His [Son's] glory
... and in the image of His existence,
And that he may muster all of them
... by the power of His Manifestation,
And it was with that Essence of His Trinity
... that He cleansed our sins,
He Who sits from the right of the Supreme throne in the Highest."

4. And all this is greater than the angels, according to that greatness inherited in the name He received* from them.
5. For when did God ever speak of any angels as:

"You are my Son,
... My eternal genesis,"*

And again:

"I shall be a Father to Him
... and He shall be a Son to Me."

6. Again, then, when the Bread of Life entered the universe, He said,

"All the angels of God shall worship Him."

7. Regarding the angels, He said thus,

"He made His angels into spirits
... and His servants into a burning light."

8. Regarding the Son He said,

"The throne is Yours,
... God to the end of the universe, of all the universes.
Your rod is fair,
... the rod of your Kingdom.
9. "You have mercy on the righteous
... and hate the abominable.
Because of that God has anointed your Godhead
... the Anointing of joy greater than your companions."*

10. And again,

"You consecrated* the earth's foundations
... from the beginning of creation,
And the heavens You made with your hands.
11. "All these shall pass away,
... yet You shall remain,
And they shall all wear out like fine clothes,
12. "... And like a hat You will bend them.
They will change,
... but you will remain as You are,
And the years will not age* you."

13. To which of the angels did He then ever say,

"Sit from my right
... until I consecrate your enemies
As a rug under your feet"?

14. Alas, were they not all spirits of ministry sent to serve those who were destined to inherit the everlasting life?
