Hebrews

Chapter 1

The Son Superior to Angels

1In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,

2but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.

3The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.4So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.

5For to which of the angels did God ever say,
“You are my Son;
today I have become your FatherOr have begotten you”Psalm 2:7?
Or again,
“I will be his Father,
and he will be my Son”2 Samuel 7:14; 1 Chron. 17:13?

6And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says,
“Let all God's angels worship him.”Deut. 32:43 (see Dead Sea Scrolls and Septuagint)

7In speaking of the angels he says,
“He makes his angels winds,
his servants flames of fire.”Psalm 104:4

8But about the Son he says,
“Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever,
and righteousness will be the scepter of your kingdom.

9You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions
by anointing you with the oil of joy.”Psalm 45:6,7

10He also says,
“In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.

11They will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.

12You will roll them up like a robe;
like a garment they will be changed.
But you remain the same,
and your years will never end.”Psalm 102:25-27

13To which of the angels did God ever say,
“Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet”Psalm 110:1?

14Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?

Here, Jesus is presented as the “heir of all things”. I liken this to how in our world, a son inherits the father's property. This is not to say that God the Father can ever have an end, but moreso that Christ is partner to the Father in glory and honor and power. Christ is the avenue through which God the Father made all of creation, as revealed in “He made the worlds”. The word worlds is derived from the Greek “aion1” from which we get our word eon. I read this as Christ was active in all creation throughout all ages and spaces and dimensions of all of creations.
