Hebrews 1:1-14: "God, who at
various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the
prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has
appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who
being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and
upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged
our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become
so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more
excellent name than they. (CHRIST IS SUPERIOR TO ANGELS BECAUSE OF HIS
DEITY) For to which of the angels did He ever say: “ You are My Son,Today I
have begotten You”? And again: “ I will be to Him a Father, And He shall be
to Me a Son?" But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He
says: “ Let all the angels of God worship Him.” And of the angels He says: “
Who makes His angels spirits And His ministers a flame of fire." But to the
Son He says: “ Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of
righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness
and hated lawlessness;  Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the
oil of gladness more than Your companions.”
And: “ You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, (Pslm.
102:25-27) And the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but
You remain; And they will all grow old like a garment; Like a cloak You will
fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years
will not fail.”  But to which of the angels has He ever said: “ Sit at My
right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”? Are they not all
ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit
salvation? And in Hebrews 2:5 "For He has not put the world to come, of
which we speak, in subjection to angels."

The Levites, in their hymn recorded by Nehemiah, sang, "Thou, even Thou, art
Lord alone; Thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their
host, the earth, and all things therein, . . . and Thou preservest them
all." Nehemiah 9:6. As regards this world, God's work of creation is
completed. For "the works were finished from the foundation of the world."
Hebrews 4:3. But His energy is still exerted in upholding the objects of His
creation. It is not because the mechanism that has once been set in motion
continues to act by its own inherent energy that the pulse beats and breath
follows breath; but every breath, every pulsation of the heart, is an
evidence of the all-pervading care of Him in whom "we live, and move, and
have our being." Acts 17:28. It is not because of inherent power that year
by year the earth produces her bounties and continues her motion around the
sun. The hand of God guides the planets and keeps them in position in their
orderly march through the heavens. He "bringeth out their host by number: He
calleth them all by names by the greatness of His might, for that He is
strong in power; not one faileth." Isaiah 40:26. It is through His power
that vegetation flourishes, that the leaves appear and the flowers bloom. He
"maketh grass to grow upon the mountains" (Psalm 147:8), and by Him the
valleys are made fruitful. "All the beasts of the forest . . . seek their
meat from God," and every living creature, from the smallest insect up to
man, is daily dependent upon His providential care. In the beautiful words
of the psalmist, "These wait all upon Thee. . . . That Thou givest them they
gather: Thou openest Thine hand, they are filled with good." Psalm 104:20,
21, 27, 28. His word controls the elements; He covers the heavens with
clouds and prepares rain for the earth. "He giveth snow like wool: He
scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes." Psalm 147:16. "When He uttereth His
voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and He causeth the
vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; He maketh lightnings with rain,
and bringeth forth the wind out of His treasuries." Jeremiah 10:13.
