Hebrews 1:13 Meaning and Commentary

Hebrews 1:13

But to which of the angels said he at any time
That is, he never said to any of them in his council, or covenant; he never designed to give them any such honour, as hereafter expressed; he never promised it to them, or bestowed it on them; he never called up any of them to so high a place, or to such a dignity:

sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool;
yet this he said to his Son, ( Psalms 110:1 ) for to him, the Messiah, are they spoken, and have had their fulfilment in him: (See Gill on Matthew 22:44); and therefore he must be greater than the angels.

12 They will be rolled up like a cloth, even like a robe, and they will be changed: but you are the same and your years will have no end.
13 But of which of the angels has he said at any time, Take your seat at my right hand till I put all those who are against you under your feet?
14 Are they not all helping spirits, who are sent out as servants to those whose heritage will be salvation?
